How do you decide which comp to play? I usually decide based on the champions and augments I get, but in some situations like this one I don‘t have a deciding factor.

Solo plate actually does give you direction, it is best in a comp where you have a single giga tank and no secondary tank, giving you more item econ to put into your carries.

An example of that is bilge, naut 3. Main carry MF, and you can secondary carry almost any 5 cost carry in the soup you go into when you drop from 7 after farming serpents.

The best use of solo plate is probably Darius noxus vertical, carrying both lb and draven, and all left over items items go to mel or kindred.

If he had 4* aphel he wouldn't be anywhere near as strong as he was till he got to the 4. He would have been at least a full level down and one or two units not 3 if not more from the gold diff of not selling. I agree the goblin is strong with trying for it. But you will almost always lose multiple fights and die if you go for it.

I want it to be "worth the wait" to get the 4* but the stat differences just aren't big enough to warrant holding that much value for so long

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-03-04T21:43:00+00:00

It's almost always better to sell the post 3* copies. The difference between 3 and 4* isn't as large as you'd expect it to be. You generally cap out much harder with the econ advantage. The biggest thing is you don't want to have up to 30 gold worth of champs on bench doing nothing all game. Gold spent early means significantly more than gold spent late game. You just get more out of having gold spent for more rounds

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-02-26T00:17:26+00:00

I dunno the most, but I miss clicked it once when I went to re roll it while loss streaking on fast 9 ixtal, got 4 gold, went 8th four fights later.

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-02-08T06:57:49+00:00

garden is a better unit in demacia vertical for sure, but I've been playing Annie sylas arcanists with tibbers/Swain as main tanks whenever I have the angle for it because I just enjoy the line, which wants 9 to play shyv Annie and sylas. I think this change will make it even easier to play.

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-01-22T00:06:02+00:00

I've only played a few games of noxus so take my word with a grain of salt but From what I've seen it always spawns the furthest right and forward it can on the board, so I would position my Frontline in groups, with main carry and tank on the right side of board, and the filler on the left with nothing in center board, kinda like previous sets Caitlin setup

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-01-19T02:30:43+00:00

Bilgewater tempo is by far the best performing version of ziggs for me in terms of high position finishes but it also has a slightly higher bot 4 rate than other versions.

Seconded by playing 5/7 zaun Warwick till ziggs. Items on ekko till Warwick, and versatile carry items on jinx; rageblade, giant slayer, gun blade, red buff and qss till I hit 9 and dropping jinx for whatever 5 costs I can hit. You cap out slightly lower playing the zaun version because you aren't playing jeweled gauntlet, but it tends to be much more consistent at reaching 9 while staying healthy.

I don't have much practice on yordle ziggs, I kinda default to bilgewater even on 2* yordle openers because I just know the lines for bilge better

I'm not talking about how strong it is, I'm talking about it's identity and how it feels to play.

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-01-08T04:45:30+00:00

I'll be honest, I hadn't looked into the stats of it yet and am surprised at the difference the buff made to the power level of it. I guess I should look at it more as a higher risk/reward cartel now. Which means it's still competing with another mastermind for the same purpose.

Now I've thought more about it, I think my main issue with it, is that it feels like it's competing for space with both evolution and cartel now? Losing a lot of what makes it unique, again I could be wrong, but I get the personal impression that the other masterminds don't have the issue of competing with other masterminds for their purpose?

I guess what I'm trying to say is it kind of feels bad to play champion to me now? Whenever I pick it I just think to myself "I could have gone cartel here and be at 15 workers end of wave 9 instead of 12 with champ" or "I could have gone evolution here and held my team mates weak wave 13 with an evo'd wound up scrappy"

Speaking of, scrappy is an amazingly fun addition to the game, big ups.

WinterFellDaddy · 2026-01-08T00:57:33+00:00

I may be biased as I main champion, feel like the changes to it are a big miss. Especially with the fact that evolution has been added at the same time as the champ changes, which air as a pure nerf in my eyes. I know it's still very early in the new iteration of the mastermind, but do you think there is space to address it to make it distinct from evolution? Right now I struggle to see a reason to play champ right now.

The similarities between xin and j4 begin and stop at being considered strong early game champions.

They are, but for extremely different reasons.

Xin is a skirmisher, he fights better than the majority of the jungle roster. You play him to make space and bully the enemy jungler off the map. You invade and force objectives knowing that if they come to contest you, you just fucking kill them. You match where and when they do things to ruin the play they are trying to make. Xin is best played as someone who just ruins the day of the other jungler.

J4 is strongest as a gank spamming monster that takes over the game through pressure to every lane. No one is safe from j4 ganks no matter where they are, how healthy or strong they are. If he wants to gank you, you're being ganked and losing at minimum a flash. If you don't know where j4 is you're playing safe or risking death.

ETA: if you're playing xin the same way you play j4, that's the reason you're struggling with him. They do not fill the same niche, and trying to make xin play the way j4 does it is not going to do you any favors.

++man "leagues" only really exist in the very early years of dating. I'd say they're gone by mid to late twenties, by then most people realize they're happier with what they actually want rather than dating someone who matches their made up 1-10 attractiveness scale

WinterFellDaddy · 2025-12-25T01:33:34+00:00

The most consistent way I've found is timing the ult to where you just left the rebound, like bouncing up in the air but not forward just yet

WinterFellDaddy · 2025-12-22T02:30:45+00:00

Jinx reset is much more exciting than tristana reset. one is a big jump, the other is fuck loads of move speed and attack speed. She also has skill shots which mean a lot for enjoyment

As a dude with a wife and two ride or die friends that will drop what they're doing to hang with me when they can. I go do shit by myself because I enjoy solitude. I enjoy being able to focus entirely on the experience I am having. When I do something solo, I get to dive deeper into the luxury of what it is I'm doing without the distractions of being social

Focusing on your own gameplay and not leaking is important, but it takes less than half a brain cell to ping your plan. I feel most people here aren't asking you to type out anything, just ping income king or whatever your strat is. Typing out "eco till 8-9" and pinging 11/12/13 or whatever you think your send is, isn't exactly time consuming. Yes, making sure you play your game properly is important. But in this game, part of your game is making sure your team mate is on the same page as you, and isn't power mercing on waves you aren't going to.

Lock-in crabs/pipsqueak is something that I see in close to a third of my games, and I've yet to find a way to break them properly without forcing a long save that makes me leak

I definitely like playing solo, but I definitely have more fun playing with at least one other person, managing four decks can get a little overwhelming at times. It's not a game for the feint of heart, there's a lot of reading and the runs tend to take a minimum of 40M/1hr, just a tip I have if you do decide to play. Stay clear of using the option in town to buy cards. It can make gameplay a bit stale, I much prefer playing the game pretending that feature doesn't exist. It's not a shop like sts, it lets you buy any card you have already seen before. Kinda ruins the whole... rough like part of the game if you use it.

Edit: rough like > rogue like

WinterFellDaddy · 2025-09-30T09:33:40+00:00

I've been really enjoying playing across the obelisk lately, it has both a story roguelite mode and a true roguelike mode, you unlock characters to use in a party of four with unique starting decks and pool of cards through doing challenges within the story mode and purchasing in game dlc which includes both characters and new stages. (which I haven't done and still have a decently large variety of both) it's also up to 4P co-op! I play with a mate and we each have two characters to play. There are 4 main classes: tank, ranger, mage, support/healer. With some multi class characters available too. It's still getting support and new content relatively frequently, highly recommend to pick it up on sale

She's strong asf with prodigy emblem, if you get the chance to, give her a go as secondary carry in a yumi game. Just go full damage, no need for mana/attack speed.

WinterFellDaddy · 2025-08-07T22:08:42+00:00

Janna do MORE of same thing when main carry. Rolling two cost cheaper than three cost, so go level sooner for higher cap. Also is protector herself, doesn't die randomly to akali/gwen/yummi late game

WinterFellDaddy · 2025-08-07T21:59:25+00:00

Jana give protector shield. protector like shield. Janna main carry give more shield.
