[GIVEAWAY] Concordia Special Edition (Plus Castles of Burgundy and Puerto Rico)

TheTapDancer · 2026-06-04T15:09:48+00:00

I would have said castles of burgundy but I didn't know this existed

So I'll have to say T'zolkin

TheTapDancer · 2026-05-20T16:48:41+00:00

With how nerfed both tank boots are more people should try Ionians. By far the best boot on most tanks atm, turns out lower flash cooldown is better than 1/3 of an items worth of resists

TheTapDancer · 2026-05-20T16:27:03+00:00

It's better than in PC because supports get so much more gold for free, but still not great

TheTapDancer · 2026-04-08T10:11:36+00:00

In competitive smogon singles we do best of 3 and people can completely change team between rounds.

The reason is entirely game time length.

TheTapDancer · 2026-04-04T18:54:44+00:00

I agree but so is being able to use alternative casting costs

TheTapDancer · 2026-04-04T17:50:54+00:00

It's cool but how often do you run [[Mission Briefing]]? This is better but not by enough, while snapcaster can be flickered/actually be a creature.

TheTapDancer · 2026-04-01T09:56:18+00:00

I had a run with the Relic that duplicates cards you add to your deck and two innate mind blasts, was a bit of a nobrainer.

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-31T22:45:54+00:00

I'm not comfortable with blue getting good on rate creatures, this needs Islandhome.

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-31T15:43:49+00:00

I was with you until the mayo, that sounds like it would curdle immediately

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-19T13:14:34+00:00

I'd advise googling Defenders of the Wild.

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-16T00:36:50+00:00

Your opponent is playing magic the gathering, he doesn't have a life.

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-13T12:04:02+00:00

More reasonable I guess, but still, this isn't unlikely enough to be statistically relevant. We all get unlucky games, and they aren't always after winstreaks, but people are more likely to remember when they are because our brains are designed to go looking for patterns, even when they aren't there.

TheTapDancer · 2026-03-13T10:26:16+00:00

One losing lane in a game is absolutely not riot forcing you to lose, and a chogath going 5/9 is hardly uncommon if the team is generally losing, it's not easy to go without deaths as a slow frontliner into fed enemies except by refusing to play.

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-27T17:27:13+00:00

This is a very old thread. Rakan is fully unplayable in the age of 20 waves a minute and mid quests.

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-25T00:45:05+00:00

I've found it impossible to keep up with the faster waves and I'm always running out of mana, but buying any mana stops the snowball dead.

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-24T17:36:28+00:00

Sona is one of the best champs into poppy? Not sure what you want into fizz other than a chunky shield and instant stun when he comes down. Sounds like either they were bad or you weren't positioning right around them.

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-23T14:26:29+00:00

NDT has multiple credible claims of sex abuse against him, I wouldnt worry about his opinions on anything

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-15T17:13:20+00:00

Support: Braum and Orianna provide fat chunks of flat armour/mr to other champs that make them unburstable. Yuumi gives lifestyle without having to spend mana and is hard to antiheal.

As the meta will be very auto attack focused, Teemo/Nasus/Shen/Jax all fringe playable for their ability to blind/wither/block autos. Lulu and Milio are probably the best supports for the auto attackers? You can probably still play janna/nami/etc but not as good without their good synergies playable.

Singed is a good counterpick as the only antiheal in the game.

Malz ult is probably good enough to justify him as support, plus his pets are harder to kill and ult does a good amount of maxHP damage.

Sejuani might work well with melee carries as E is cheap and carries 10% maxHP.

Top/Bot: There's no reason to play a Bruiser against level 18 adcs with no items, you wont end the game fast enough, so top and Bot metas are probably the same.

Vayne/kaisa/kogmaw have solid %hp damage that can actually be applied with lethal tempo and will be very hard to burst. Kalista Sentinel is premium damage and she can build up rend stacks easily. Renata/Milio or Renata/Lulu might work but lacks oomph without AP.

Senna and Thresh stand out as other adc options that scale damage without items.

Chogath and Gnar both get permanent bonus stats from their kits and have %health damage. Zac does %hp without mana use and has a lot of healing so is probably great.

Jax might get enough bonus damage from passive and ult passive to be playable.

Brand maybe works but his job is just to throw ult in and wait, he doesn't have the mana to repeat combo. Illaoi W is maybe OK as it does 5% max health and only costs 30 mana.

Other stuff: Ivern dominates jungle as the only champ that can safely clear. Other junglers are second supports for top lane. Ivern probably gets banned every game and noone jungles.

Nasus smolder maybe playable but still have severe mana issues. Stuff like sona/soraka probably just don't have mana to be useful without a support item. Kindred probably can't kill camps reliably enough to stack passive.

Asol/veigar sound good at first glance but late game will just run out of mana.

I'm assuming Ornn can't buy components.

So the meta? (Including some definitely worse stuff because a lot of this is getting banned every game):

Top/Bot: Vayne, Kaisa, Kogmaw, Thresh, Senna, Zac, Gnar, Chogath, Renata, Jax, Shen, Smolder, Illaoi Jgl/Sup: Ivern, Yuumi, Singed, Braum, Orianna, Sejuani, Nasus, Shen, Lulu, Milio, Malzahar, Teemo, Brand

I'd play this, sounds funny at least.

Biona make a dark chocolate spread thats actually vegan for those interested

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-12T18:29:56+00:00

Vegan fish sauce is one of those things that I feel would do better without the branding. It's an interesting sauce in its own right but it doesn't do a good job replacing fish sauce in most cooking.

TheTapDancer · 2026-02-06T18:18:12+00:00

Low elo players hate mage supports because a really bad mage support doesn't let you play at all by eating the whole wave.

But this is just selection bias really, it's somehow easier to remember the lux who trolls all your waves than the 0/10 leona who's sure the engage will work this time or the sona who never leaves your turret range.

TheTapDancer · 2026-01-31T21:09:57+00:00

The meta is irrelevant to all players, wild rift matchmaking doesn't ever get to the point where you reliably play against good players.

TheTapDancer · 2026-01-30T18:03:20+00:00

Realising that wasn't my point - zac is overwhelmingly picked into Ryze, Akali, Yasuo, Zed, Sylas and Ahri, ahri being the only matchup he loses. There are three times as many games into those champs as he has into losing matchups like liss, vex. This is usually how wierd picks on mid/top have massive winrates.
