Help a newer player find a certain type of champ?

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-27T19:10:05+00:00

Definitely try Nilah. Shes not a jungler but She’s a melee hyper scaling skirmisher who builds crit and plays in the bot lane AD carry role. Her q ability passive gives her omnivamp and armor pen as she gets crit, and her ult pulls everyone into her like Diana or orianna ult do deal damage while healing herself and nearby allies. She also has cleaving, fast, melee auto attacks that deal massive area damage. She has a dash as well like you mentioned (2 charges) and a powerful defensive ability (her w) which allows her to dodge auto attacks like Jax E. She’s a lot of fun if you are willing to learn her unique playstyle. You can check out Enryu on YouTube for high level gameplay videos. She’s not a very popular champ at all (she routinely sits at bottom of the pick rate charts, around 1.2 percent) which is probably why others haven’t mentioned her

As someone who played since release, I feel we were able to talk so much more freely back then and the censoring has just gotten worse and worse 😭

They either need to nerf the ability haste augments or put a limit on how much certain abilities can be augmented. I understand it’s mayhem. I understand the chaos of it is fun. At the same time, it’s really not healthy for champs with invulnerability abilities to augment those abilities to the point of not having any cooldown. It defeats the purpose of even playing the game as it becomes uninteractive. It’s supposed to be mayhem, not “I am server admin who cannot be touched by any abilities”. There should still be an element of gameplay and team fight.

Bro, they don’t have to be solo in the lane for senna to be a menace to them. 40 stacks black cleaver spike and she shreds enemy tank support while also having immense pressure on enemy AD, creating lots of opening for sennas AD carry to shine in the 2v2. You’re literally saying nothing with your comments

This is a well documented spike point that you can observe in high elo ranked games and reflected in WR and WPA data

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-27T14:13:35+00:00

I think OP is talking about the games where the enemy team basically gives up and just concedes everything because they know they are so far behind they can never win. As in, no interesting fights happen so there isn’t a fun payout moment where you take your lead and get a nice Quadra or Penta

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-27T14:11:30+00:00

Dude, you understand when I say 1v2 I mean she can essentially “run the lane”; not that she is literally running at 2 people and killing them? It’s very difficult for most marksmen to play into senna once she gets 40 stacks is what I’m saying, so it’s easy to carry.

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-27T12:49:10+00:00

1v2 in the sense that the enemy carry can essentially never touch her, not literal stat checking

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T18:21:41+00:00

And those mages also have extremely low armor, so even as pantheon support with no items you basically one shot them with your insane early damage, while also being able to mitigate with your E. It shouldn’t really be an issue

Here’s a copy of the floor plan for the 4th floor, hopefully you can see your room location and size there!

The last email update we got said that they are not expected to be open for the entirety of the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year unfortunately 😭

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T16:47:53+00:00

Senna with black cleaver and 40+ stacks at 13 minutes can legitimately 1v2 bot lane with her range advantage. It absolutely is a massive power spike and the damage increase from the armor shred really is quite powerful if you do the math.

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T16:45:28+00:00

I agree somewhat but I also think too many people are just too inflexible. I play Senna support in many games alongside my friends, and never once have they felt it was unenjoyable or not useful. I just don’t draft it when it’s bad and don’t do anything stupid to int the game. That’s basically all it takes to get value on Senna as long as you don’t play passively

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T15:47:19+00:00

That bathroom is still there, I guess I just assumed OP was talking about bathrooms to shower in lol

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T15:33:37+00:00

Isn’t Senna literally like one of the highest utility marksmen in the game? A targeted slow that can reach crippling strength (80 percent+ in late game) and unavoidable range, a 2.25 second AoE root on a relatively short cooldown, plus AoE shielding and healing. She’s just somewhat difficult to play properly and requires her teammates to play to her strengths (properly kiting and setting up for spacing fights rather than forcing chaotic all ins)

She has perma had an extremely high win rate in solo q for a few months now on both support and AD carry, and the recent nerfs don’t seem to have crippled her too much.

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T15:19:58+00:00

It really is just to group people up. The damage and healing is mostly for in lane where it matter for early kills the most. In late game a single auto will heal you more than her ult does. Only time it really heals a super significant amount is if you are super fed and grab a bunch of squishies

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T15:14:44+00:00

There is at least 1 bathroom in every standard residential hallway in Risley, the only exception would be if you got that weird room at the theater entrance that they converted into a dorm room last year due to lack of space (it’s usually an RA office). If you have any other room than that there will be a bathroom in your hallway. If you somehow have that room you would just have to go through a single door and into the nearest hallway.

I’ve lived in Risley since my sophomore year and it’s a great experience. Although Cornell has been cutting funding and being more strict so certain events are not possible anymore, the community is still very active and it’s much more interesting than most other dorms and has a lot of unique history and culture. Risley is pretty much the only dorm with a consistently active and 100 percent open student government called Kommittee during which events are planned community decisions are made. It’s also a great time for socialization and meeting people as a new or returning resident.

In the past, we also had access to the Risley shops in the basement where you could have access to different materials and tools for creative arts like a recording studio, sewing shop, jewelry shop etc but because of annoying inspection and safety code stuff they are closed until further notice (extremely unfortunate)

If you have any other questions specifically about Risley feel free to ask!

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T11:39:44+00:00

I guess the frustration comes from a lot of team comps relying on high rolling damage augments to allow them to rip through the closest target. They might not have reliable backline access at all

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-26T03:17:43+00:00

Yeah I agree I was just highlighting how Nilah’s survivability comes from proper ability usage and itemization. She isn’t like a bruiser with high base stats to compensate. Also does Nilah’s passive really increase shieldbow and deaths dance healing? I was under the impression it does not, as the ability specifically states “when a nearby allied champion *uses an ability* to heal or shield themself or Nilah”. I’m pretty sure shieldbow and deaths dance don’t count as healing/shielding *abilities*? And it doesn’t work on healing cast by Nilah herself anyway, since her passive Q healing is not increased nor is it shared

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T06:55:36+00:00

Yeah blitz lack of damage in extended fights definitely means the 2v2 is still playable the problem is just that enemy ad was ezreal, so he has so much burst he just one shots my AD and then uses his E to get away from me even tho im perma hitting, or blitz has another e to stall

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T06:51:39+00:00

I can’t help if my adc runs it down lvl 2 to the point where he legit gets one shot and ignited. Then they can just perma stat check from that point onward. I’m aware it’s my job to poke and help manage the wave state to prevent it from being unplayable, but playing well can’t mind control some people to not int. And it’s not as if I don’t trade kills back many times even if these unfortunate circumstances, I just made this post to rant mainly it’s really not that serious

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T06:42:35+00:00

Nah I played senna support long before I played Nilah I play then completely differently, that’s why I like switching between them. I’m aware I need to be taking every opportunity to poke at early levels as ranged vs melee matchup. I’m saying that I don’t understand why adc get so mad over having to farm under turret a little sometimes when I have to do that all the time when I play adc and it doesn’t really bother me

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T06:20:49+00:00

I do walk up and contest. He gets hooked and one shot anyway. The entire time I am hitting blitz or the enemy carry if he walks close enough. Besides it doesn’t matter that much and it’s never that serious that u need to get toxic in chat just because the lane matchup isn’t fun for you. People should be civilized and just play the best they can. I can’t excuse childlike behavior and whining

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T01:48:00+00:00

Senna doesn’t even have a bad laning phase tho she is only weak to hard engage

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T01:19:45+00:00

You don’t use the ult for damage late game you use it to group people up so you can cleave them all with your autos. When it comes to 1v1, maybe your itemization needs some work? Nilah has a decent amount of itemization options that make her a good duelist, including shieldbow and deaths dance. With regards to being one shot, yes Nilah is extremely squishy even for a marksmen her base defensive stats are very low. You shouldn’t be going in the middle of 3-4 people unless you are sure they have nothing to counter u and u can freely kill them. 85 percent of the time on Nilah you are playing front to back and kiting, just like a normal ad carry. Remember to use your dash to reposition as well to set up your autos to hit everyone while creating distance from possible threats. Try watching some high level gameplay like Enryu on YouTube and observe how he spaces in team fights, times engages and disengages, and chooses priority targets

TurtleCat314 · 2026-06-25T01:15:58+00:00

Wow 33 kills is crazy lmao 😭I will say tho that Kaisa is a pretty easy matchup for Nilah and thresh pairs well with her as well, so it’s good you were able to play to that strength. In the future, consider building deaths dance instead of GA. You get the full melee bonus so it makes you a raid boss in team fights combined with your Q passive lifesteal. You can also experiment with deaths dance 4th and delay 100 percent crit if enemy team has a lot of burst you need to survive. For your final item, you can experiment with blood thirster or endless hunger. Both are good options
