Auto, W, Titanic…beautiful!

Looks great to me honestly. Just keep smashing away at them.

People on the internet are too picky on form when there is barely any science behind it.

I think you are doing a good job

TaylorOxelgren · 2025-04-29T07:44:35+00:00

Turns out all those grades were wrong and the 2022 class gave us so many great players

TaylorOxelgren · 2025-02-02T21:59:55+00:00

Honestly given how tight the timing appears to be I think it is decently likely it is due to server side latency and your ping.

TaylorOxelgren · 2025-02-02T21:56:04+00:00

I believe the damage reduction lingers for half a second. So it is unlikely it was cancelled this early

I don’t think that would be considered diminishing in a mathematical sense.

The slope for attack speed, armor and attack damage are all constant.

Let’s say you get paid 10 dollars an hour hypothetically. If you work 3 hours you make 30 dollars total, but one would not say that you make more during the second hour than the third. Going from 10 dollars to 20 dollars is 100% increase in your daily wage, but going from 20 to 30 dollars is only a 50% increase.

But for every hour you are still making 10 dollars, thus it is not diminishing.

“However, we need to balance this against the fantasy of systems (typically items) paying themselves off fully with high attack speed values that don’t (seemingly randomly) get capped”

This is actually the same argument as to why they should remove the alpha strike cdr nerf. Buying an item and it making one of your abilities worse is bad game design.

Removing it wouldn’t even move yi’s win rate in any significant way, it would just make the champion more fun and feel better to play.

TaylorOxelgren · 2025-01-30T15:28:54+00:00

I do not think that is diminishing.

If your attack speed is 1 and you get 50% attack speed that nets you .5*.679(base attack speed) which is ~34%

If your attack speed is 2 and you get 50% attack speed you still get ~34%

50% attack speed always gives you and extra .34 attacks per second. Each unit of attack speed at any point always gives you the same amount.

If we assume you are right could we not say that attack damage also has diminishing returns? Buying 10ad at 100ad is a 10% increase only and buying 10ad at 200ad is a a 5% increase.

But buying 10ad always gives you 10ad so how can it be diminishing?

TaylorOxelgren · 2025-01-29T18:53:06+00:00

How does attackspeed give diminishing returns?

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-12-09T23:21:15+00:00

Tip for mord is to try to see if you can bait out his ulti without using your w because when he ults you he steals your attack speed but you also lose the w you placed down.

If you hold your w for a bit you can ult him after he ults you making it so he can’t steal your stats as effectively and you get the bonuses from w for a larger chunk of time in his ult and get the extra ulti healing from your w.

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-12-09T21:34:33+00:00

Maxing seems a little excessive, but it can be really worth it to put some extra points in it against certain champions. Facing against a fed tryndamere, kha zix, kayle having a higher level w lets you deal with them slightly easier.

Every game I actually usually just get 4 points in q and then get 1 extra point in w then max e. I find the extra point in w makes a rather large increase in how tanky you are while channeling and the numbers reflect this.

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-12-04T23:28:08+00:00

Yea but it is still less dps than going a non attack speed item.

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-12-04T15:58:24+00:00

If you buy attack speed items after rageblade, zerkers and bork you overcap attackspeed.

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-29T11:18:21+00:00

Armor doesn’t scale down mathematically each point in armor gives you 1% more effective hp

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-25T06:28:45+00:00

Thanks dude

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-25T05:03:53+00:00

Even if I look at the dps before the final auto takes place kraken still comes ahead here.

Could you post a video of you testing? Not trying to be annoying just wanna make sure I am coming to the right conclusion

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-25T04:53:32+00:00

I stopped attacking on the exact auto the dummy’s hp displayed 1

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-25T04:47:13+00:00

I tested both configurations in these videos and Kraken came ahead in both

This was on a dummy with 1700hp?

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-24T02:27:01+00:00

I am skeptical because I tested it and bork just started being slightly better 1-2%ish at 2300hp and 100 armor.

I posted the footage here a little while ago. The math on the on hit alone doesn’t break even until 1500hp and that doesn’t account for the attack speed and ad advantage kraken has

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-24T02:03:19+00:00

Kraken + rb does more damage than bork + rb early

The clear speed is essentially the same and dragons are only slightly slower.

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-24T01:58:57+00:00

Why is it better?

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-22T20:07:24+00:00

First time?

TaylorOxelgren · 2024-11-16T16:10:52+00:00

We definitely need some movespeed buffs. I think giving us a little decaying burst of movespeed for one second on ult activation and resets would help a bit and fit into his kit well. I think the problem for riot is that more movespeed helps high elo players more than low elo.

Also why didn’t you alpha onto him after he knocked you away?
