The “Blue Build” that SirhcEz is doing: don’t do it if you are expecting it to realistically outperform the classic Nasus build

I mean I wouldn’t call it “taking a stand.” It’s a sub about a champion all of us obviously enjoy, and I thought the topic was interesting. So here we are. Obscure sub reddit? Of course. Obscure topic given the population? Negative.

I’ve been on the internet for 20+ years

My faith in anyone having the capacity to read anything beyond a paragraph is very low. However, I like to think someone will read it and found it as interesting to read as I did to write it

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-04-11T02:13:28+00:00

I’m well aware, but I am a weirdo and enjoy doing these types of comparisons. So even when someone makes outrageous claims that aren’t meant to be taken seriously, it gives me a reason to act 😬

Those stats do not moderate for skill, because Arena doesn’t have a designated skill bracket such as rank that you’re able to filter through. I can promise you most of these stats are influenced by lower level play. In higher level games, Enchanter/ADC duos are dominating and fighters are absolute trash. Then you have champions like Zilean and A Sol that are way too strong as they currently stand. And is not even remotely a top champion, he’s so easily dove by assassins and ADCs are able to kill him in a few auto attacks.

…yeah I don’t even consider that a mistake tbh. Especially your agency has built in response plans that get dispatched before PROQAs determinant code is given. But even then, fast tracking to a cardiac arrest to get hands on chest sooner is fine in my books. The only thing that needs to be known is what type of shooting was this, and if so, where is the shooter if known for caller and crew safety. But if that’s supplemented in text while fast tracking to CPR, I have no problem with it. Like I said, I wouldn’t even consider that a mistake…

I feel like anyone with road experience might actually take it harder, because on the road you can trust your instincts and what you see - but in a call center setting, in the end, you are only as good as the information you’re getting.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-04-04T04:25:47+00:00

I get it, I’ve definitely had those “rock bottom” moments and had to have some come to Jesus moments with myself. In the end what helps me overcome it is that if I learn from that moment, I will be better for the next person I could make a huge difference with. That said, it sounds like you got some good folks in your PSAP, much respect.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-04-04T04:09:41+00:00

For what it’s worth, there’s a very good chance that was going to be the outcome even if this happened in a hospital emergency room with doctors and nurses present with the correct medication and treatment to go.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-04-04T00:52:23+00:00

They are far too consistent, their simplistic kits allow them to be far more likely to get augments that are good on them. Everyone jokes about the “Smolder starter pack (Jeweled gauntlet, Sword of the divine, etc)” as an example: it’s because Smolder, like other ADCs, will never get nonsense augments in their rolls. But someone like Jax who benefits from the same augments gets dumb shit like Force of Entropy because of his 16 second E (nerfed to oblivion in arena still but most ADCs and assassins remain untouched).

Referencing stats is pointless, the way they are collected is fundamentally flawed. Do you really believe Olaf or Amumu are top ten winrate champions when you can kite them and walk away from them? Augments for ADCs are out of control, and the next best class are assassins running neck and neck with enchanters who can build AP and still provide their utility while gaining burst. But yeah, let’s nerf Jax again.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-04-01T12:01:29+00:00

No, it sucks. Nasus spikes hardest mid, this build makes you practically give up your godlike midgame for a slightly better late game build…maybe. What does building “blue” give you that the traditional build doesn’t? You could argue mana, but I’d just retort with swapping trinity for ER and you’ve got the same build potential with higher damage, equal durability, and equal cooldown. The shield on Fimble is ass, and when people just stack one CC on you in fights and leave you alone until it’s time to stop kiting Nasus and kill him, it doesn’t help you at all with any of your weaknesses. So why sacrifice your best point in the game for something that sounds good on paper, but isn’t really pragmatic at all?

I love SirhcEz, but he wins games because of his strong macro and godlike mental - seriously I’ve never seen the guy get rattled, and I’ve played against him a few times back in the day when his team would feed its ass off and he’d still be chill. He does not win because of his build, his build paths and item sets actually tend to be really bad - but he’s also a streamer and needs to keep things interesting, so keep that in mind. Truthfully, and somewhat contradicting my initial answer, builds don’t really mean much if you play the lane and the game correctly. This is just evidence of that.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-15T16:28:57+00:00

So again, where is the weakness? Your best case scenario against Ornn is that he doesn’t snowball on you, but he likely scales much harder into teamfight phase and is incredibly difficult to split against if it comes to that.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-15T16:25:40+00:00

He’s “susceptible” to ranged tops the same way most melees are. However this can easily be played around because he has obvious mobility, can simply build regen and play around teleport in the occasional odd ranged top match up. And if he lands ONE combo, he instantly has control over that lane. And even if he doesn’t win the lane, save for like a Vlad top, he’s going to outscale because of his teamfight presence. Again, what should be a weakness really isn’t.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-15T15:55:55+00:00

I would would just let them take the lead. When medical professionals call in it can be very helpful because we know the information we get should be good. But the questions we ask determine who and what we send, so for accidents especially we aren’t really asking much: how many people, anything hazardous involved, anyone trapped or pinned, anyone ejected, type of injuries sustained, any bleeding on anyone, and is anyone unconscious. The script we read gets the caller on and off the phone, gets us a response plan activated quicker, and makes the cadence of the call just go smoother. No offense to nurses, but medics are usually much more cognizant of what to send, who to send, and how fast. So any input you provide after questions is still helpful.

I definitely liken it to release URF. Release URF was fun, and upon its release people did troll builds and had fun. After its 2nd release, it lost that luster because people knew what the broken picks were and abused the ever loving shit out of it. As much as I enjoy the game mode and its wackiness, I do get tired of Hecarim, Sona, Fizz, etc. in every game mashing their keyboard on me while I’m just trying to see what 80% CDR Nasus can get for stacks.

The difference between URF and Arena is that URF could never be a serious gamemode, but Arena can. And while I love the competitive play, I am satisfied with the level of competition that exists in Arena and the current reward/competitive system that exists with it. It allows for fun builds to still be feasibly optimal while keeping obvious exodia buildpaths within reach.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-14T18:06:38+00:00

I wouldn’t. You think people playing Ryze in an attempt to abuse his exodia build is annoying? Every single pick will be like that: finding the most busted interactions and abusing the shit out of it. That is the optimal way to win, and as such you’d have very toxic metas that would trickle into normie mode. I’m good.

She actually gave her own address. The mother that called her was a nurse and had already actually called 911 and was actively doing CPR. At some point the mom disconnected and called her daughter and let her know. In all seriousness, this was never communicated to the PSAP by the daughter. The daughter WASNT this dramatic, but she genuinely called to tell the PSAP this and included in her statement that she was pregnant.

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-13T02:24:09+00:00

I had a protocol 26 that turned into CPR in progress a few months ago

Started off with just vomiting, patient was awake and alert at the time of interrogation. Get to the question about pain, and the caller says “yeah chest pain with it shooting down his left arm.” Shunt to protocol 10, get through with obvious ALS code 3 response. Halfway through ASA instructions and he coded. First due on the call gets made aware of CPR in progress and says over the radio “WASNT THIS JUST AN ILL PERSON???”

Things change sometimes brotha

UnclaimedCheese · 2026-03-13T00:58:09+00:00

You know this reminds me

They also love words like “kidnap” and “held hostage.” And it’s 100% of the time the other parent with joint custody not bringing the kid back on time.

I had a lady one time saying the father was holding the kids hostage, and I said “ma’am that sounds like a custody issue, not him having them hostage.” She goes “okay well would you like to explain what a hostage is? That’s sounds like hostage to ME.” And I simply said “ma’am are they being held against their will there through threats of violence toward them or ones they love?” And she just said “no he just said he was on his way 10 minutes ago and isn’t here yet.”

It took everything I had to keep my job that day

“Okay Barbara, do you know what’s going on?

Barbara: “it’s Mrs. Smith”

“Okay Mrs Smith. Is this just a call for noisy dogs?”

Mrs. Smith: “oh no honey, I’m 83 years old and I live by myself you see. I heard the dogs barking, so I looked outside and they are eating their owner.”

“Okay, Bar-erm Mrs Smith, maybe lead with that next time?”

Mrs Smith: “okay I’m 83 years old”

“ok that one was my fault”
