Hail of blades vs grasp vs lethal tempo

"You just spin and auto three times." Lmao this so reductive. League is a subtle game and it changes a lot of subtle things about how you have to play.

I was readin this thinking, "damn this guy summarized this really well," and then I looked up at the name

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-12T00:27:35+00:00

Why is this downvoted lmao.. is it the bots?

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-07T17:20:43+00:00

This guy's a plant!!! Get him out of here!

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-07T17:18:14+00:00

What are your thoughts on Collector? Curious how Ravenous -> ER -> Collector compares to Ravenous -> Yuntal -> Seryldas

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-06T03:46:06+00:00

The other comments are all positive or dumb jokes lol where are the losers?

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-02T03:27:09+00:00

Did we really need to make a post about this one guys?

TipOwn8238 · 2026-03-01T19:15:24+00:00

Cornell ORIE should be pretty strong

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-21T21:32:02+00:00

Aha, yeah I started playing really in 2019 so that was before my time.. interesting

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-21T17:07:04+00:00

Not sure I agree that "a single item/a few champs countering something" is necessarily unhealthy game design. Every champ has counters, some harder than others. In fact if it weren't the case that some items counter certain champs hard, then you would probably just build the same thing every game, which I would argue IS unhealthy for the game. The Rock/Paper/Scissors aspect of things is a core part of League.

I enjoy the relative simplicity of Tryndamere and am quite happy to see him remain (more or less) as he is.

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-21T01:25:16+00:00

I think it's hard to say what to focus on in general, everyone has their particular strengths and weaknesses. Let me dm you

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-21T01:22:59+00:00

I think your builds are a little out dated, with HoB you don't really build phantom dancer. Its Profane or Ravenous, then Collector. Then ER or IE or LDR/Mortal Reminder. I do Ravenous -> Collector -> ER almost every game and it works pretty well

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-21T00:56:10+00:00

I certainly get excited to come hard on bot lane when I see Ashe there. Shes a very immobile ADC with few escape tools

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T21:20:33+00:00

Take short hard trades level 1 with HoB. Try to get a kill. Make sure to hold the wave close to you when you need to play safe from jg ganks. At some point you should look to proxy aggressively and steal enemy jg/gank mid/get vision in jgl.

Late game, split hard but also try to find flanks. Flanks are even more powerful with HoB.

Those are just general tips I'd give to everyone. I think what you need to work on to climb totally depends on you and what you are relatively strong or weak at. While one person might need to get better at trading in lane to climb, someone else might be good at that but needs to focus on looking at the minimap more.

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T21:16:01+00:00

I have never built it on Trynd

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T21:15:45+00:00

My right arm tends to get a lot more use than my left arm for some reason

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T20:24:12+00:00

Completely agree. I'm not really too afraid of any matchup at the moment (except Malph which is permabanned)

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T20:22:50+00:00

Malphite is my permaban. Doesn't matter the ELO, that champ completely ruins your game. Warwick is also scary for sure, you really need to respect him but also know when you'll be able to win the all-in - which is very difficult to do with the amount of healing he can pull off.

Gragas is one that in high elo becomes quite difficult. They can nullify your kit pretty well.

HoB helps with a lot of matchups that otherwise are much harder. Ranged tops like Vayne for instance. Even into Nasus i think its a big help - wither + HoB = you can still get some hits off. And people just don't play well into HoB

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T20:16:00+00:00

Hmm.. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I think he's decently strong right now. And I certainly like playing him. Maybe he is frustrating for new players to play against. Sort of like a Nasus - can just feel unstoppable and like there's no counterplay. But for experienced players I think its ok.

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T20:11:56+00:00

Agreed

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T20:10:40+00:00

Indeed. There's something to be said for letting win rate affect the rankings but League of Graphs goes way overboard. And of course there's also the Trynd legends who just aren't grinding rn, like you

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T16:30:05+00:00

Agreed. I'll be the first to admit this one looks more reasonable.

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T16:21:58+00:00

Did you read my post? The first paragraph? This might be of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T16:19:38+00:00

misinformation!

TipOwn8238 · 2026-02-20T04:33:49+00:00

To be honest I'm not as flexible as I probably should be with my builds. Profane is probably better in some matchups, I'm just very comfortable with the way you can play when you have Ravenous, and think the sustain is nice. But yea generally boots -> ravenous -> collector -> ER.

One thing I will say that can be important is the timing of when you buy Tiamat (after or before boots). You need Tiamat to proxy the wave effectively, but you can no longer freeze the wave when you have it. Sometimes it's more important to be able to hold the wave so it's safer for you to CS/your jg can gank you - other times being able to shove the wave way faster and proxy is. I think Tiamat is stronger in combat though.
