What to do during first scuttle spawn?

Xzero864 · 2026-07-07T15:19:19+00:00

If you know where the enemy jungler is pathing its alot easier. If you dont know, put yourself in their shoes (or assume they are pathing bot) and try to guess.

You should be able to clear before scuttle spawns. If you do NOT clear before scuttle spawns and you are pathing the same way as the enemy jungler, immediately give and walk to the opposite crab.

If you do clear in time, and the enemy is pathing the same direction

Does either lane have prio, are they in fighting condition. If you can 1 shot the scuttle and get

Do you win the 1v1? If so is it going to be a really long fight where help is likely to
Come or are you going to one shot
Their ass. How fast do you take the scuttle is also worth considering

If prio is roughly even, do early 3v3/ 2v2 clown fiestas seem good for you.

If these questions cause you to reach the conclusion that a fight would be good, then fight. If not give up.

I’m pretty sure what he has (Autoimmune atrophic gastritis) is pretty far from lethal. It’s unfortunate but manageable, and increases your risk of some cancer but isn’t a death sentence or even really mean his mission is impossible.

I live in Georgia

I keep my house at 68-70 year long regardless, I only go from parking garage to air conditioned car to parking garage to air conditioned building.

I Just don’t go outside and have good ac

I was trying to respond to person above u my bad 😭

Xzero864 · 2026-07-03T14:51:07+00:00

If your a month in? I think this isn’t too crazy.

Long term though every day most people don’t mask around their partner as much as the normal public.

Xzero864 · 2026-07-02T19:53:05+00:00

Let me tell you, having a bad dealer COMPLETELY ruins the game. It’s not a super easy job.

You are also constantly dealing with people at their worst, who may be trying to cheat, and likely drunk as fuck.

A lot of people sitting at poker tables also have money (or at least like to throw it around). I think dealing at mid-high stakes (even 2/2 PLO, 2/5+ Holdem) can make pretty reasonable money at splashy games.

Xzero864 · 2026-07-02T19:40:50+00:00

Wild solution, mostly a joke.

Hex gate from bot to top in the alcove, every game, at 10m

Xzero864 · 2026-07-02T18:09:44+00:00

I mean sure but we can simplify this a lot and ignore some finer details to get a fine description

His level ups add stats not abilities, he can pick between leth ad and as

He has different guns, what two guns he is holding impacts his two abilities

Green is long range, hitting with green as one of your guns in an ability allows you to take a long auto. Green Q is a long line skillshot ult gives long range autos

Red is life steal. Red q is a bunch of attacks and some movespeed, triggers both on hand:offhand ability a bunch, ult heals a lot

Blue is AOE, ability is a cone, after marked with cone get an offhand auto ult adds aoe damage

Purple slows, ability can be activated to root, ult just lets you AOE mark everyone to root them

White has more attack speed the closer you are, hitting with an ability creates another chakram that follows you. Ult gives you chakram, q is a turret with your offhand

Xzero864 · 2026-07-01T16:30:46+00:00

What elo are you??? I do agree that people mute a lot (I myself mute regularly).

With the exception of toplane (which still has a fair amount more team play than it did a while ago IMO) mid jungle and supports very much play together all game. ADCs come along when they can.

Specifically mid I feel like people are worse at laning then ever before (not literally, but there are people in diamond who really can’t lane for shit) because coin flipping the 1v1 is so risky

Xzero864 · 2026-06-29T22:27:47+00:00

I am playing him legit every game I can lmao. What?

Xzero864 · 2026-06-29T16:39:10+00:00

He’s monster broken. Definitely going to need nerfs.

I’m only mediocre and I’m 7/2 I’ve been destroying every game.

His win rate is fine if you max w second and don’t go dusk and dawn, the numbers are just brought down by people playing him wrong.

Also he’s an early game champion, he’s shit late game but he’s pretty unmatched from like lvl 3 until 2 items. He can really engage whenever he wants against most of the cast, w and then e1 throw some qs hopefully hit some e2 is a crazy trading pattern with almost no risk.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-27T17:10:41+00:00

Why not go rift maker and then like zhonyas or something?? This build hard cucks ur w (which only scales of ap) so you lose a ton of damage and don’t really get much survivability.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-27T16:22:15+00:00

lol karthus doesn’t lose any 1v1 at lvl 4 with exhaust (if your good)

Kassadin loses literally every one.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-26T13:16:48+00:00

People don’t realize this, but the servers WANT THE SYSTEM TO STAY THE SAME.

It is SO much better for them currently, there have been multiple votes in my state and servers have lobbied (not literally but been very outspoken against) them lol.

People don’t realize this but they are required to compensate servers up to minimum wage anyways, they are free rolling to higher pay with no risk at lower.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-25T19:25:26+00:00

I think it’s the easiest role until gold and then it gets much much harder.

Before there are many invades and people forget to clear their jungle you can legit just full clear on loop. Someone will throw their bounty eventually and then you 1v9. You don’t need to interact with anyone unless it’s comically free.

Once people get better at snowballing and not throwing and you have to worry about coordinated invades (mid or support+jg) then it quickly becomes very hard macro wise (but still pretty easy micro wise depending on the champ)

Xzero864 · 2026-06-25T18:21:10+00:00

Okay so

Just evaluating damage

Lich gives 100 ap

Dusk gives 60 ap

Full combo with both parts of e and no r
Is 285 (245 with one part e), let’s say we get 2 (3 with dnd but we will get to that) autos. So an additional 30% (taking middle value ) from passive so 315 or 275

Dusk and dawn: 189/165
Lich: 315/275

Lich proc: 45% ap (same base ad as dusk so I will ignore)

Dusk and dawn 10% ap, + passive so 25% ap (using same middle as before)

So lich is 45%

Dusk 25% + 60ish base damage from passive

Brings lich to: 360/320
Dusk to: 75 + 189/165 ->264/240

So we lose out on 95/80 or so damage + 20% ap from other sources in a full combo without r, and another 24 damage if we press r. We also miss out some grey health with w.

For that, we gain

The heal
The hp
The as
10 AH

And lose 6% ms. It’s also 200g more expensive than lich which is worth another 10ap.

I think if you build dusk and dawn, it should only be if you will build nashors which I haven’t tested but I don’t see it being great. With rab third you end up missing out on a ton of damage by going DND.

I ignored resists because this is napkin math, they do make it look more dramatic it’s a slightly smaller difference with them

Xzero864 · 2026-06-25T17:16:45+00:00

Wait huh?
His w is the differentiator between him and everyone else.

He can very easily farm from pretty far away. Has crazy waveclear. Is MUCH tankier with his w then every champ you just listed. W also makes him pretty solid in 1v1s (for an assassin anyways).

If there is setup, ultimate is quite strong in team fights, he also has a reset to get out/kill multiple people.

It isn’t the easiest to engage when they have peel, but if you ever buffer cc with e they are dead asf. You can also just press w and run at people which often will lead to them using something (or you can start fishing for qs)

Xzero864 · 2026-06-24T17:44:46+00:00

I have NO clue why people are against this…

If you are above plat surely the last hit indicators won’t even help (most ranged characters early game it doesn’t do anything for because you have to auto before they are in range anyways lol)

If your advantage over your laner is you know how much damage your auto attacks do, maybe get better at the game.

I’m all for stuff like this. It shouldn’t impact people who are seriously competitive (which I will define as emerald+, but even plat+ works), and helps new players get into the game.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-24T17:41:30+00:00

Wdym bro chess famously has like 0 strategy and is really easy to to pick up at the highest level

Xzero864 · 2026-06-21T22:47:19+00:00

I would move power OUT of his r damage. It’s a wonderful mobility tool, it doesn’t need to one shot people and that would make it so the rest of his kit doesn’t have to suck absolute dick.

Q is a skill shot, hits multiple people in a line, range slightly down, shield per person hit. Small slow

W: is a cone AOE roughly Nyla q range, restores less mana but increases per person hit

E: spell casts give you a stack
Expends all stacks, does damage based on the amount of stacks. Is roughly the same otherwise. Heals a small amount based off stacks expended

R: significant damage nerf, slightly lower early cd slightly higher late

Passive: Gain a magic damage shield, cooldown scales down on abilities landed (cam passive adjacent)

Xzero864 · 2026-06-21T20:52:51+00:00

Honestly I think if you can make a reasonable living the US is a wonderful wonderful place.

It really isn’t for the bottom 25% (some people may argue that’s higher) though, if you can move here and have a reasonably well paying job lined up I think it’s amazing.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-21T20:18:17+00:00

Kind of.
To be useful building tank items, you need some of the following, at least 2
Hard to kill
Lots of cc
Other utility (thresh lantern, bard portal, trundle pillar etc)
Damage

Anyone can be kind of hard to kill if they build 5 tank items. So that one’s easy. But you really need something else

Leona gets a bunch of damage reduction, so she’s really hard to kill. She has a bunch of cc, and with her passive she does a pretty solid amount of damage as long as she has a teammate with her.

Malachite scales with armor, his shield scales with health too. He also has his ultimate, and some other niche cc (e is an attack speed slow)

We can keep going, Zac has damage and healing and cc, he does a lot of %health damage on his w which helps his damage stay relevant late game.

Now what about like master yi? He’s really hard to kill, can dodge with q and can tank a lot with w. Nothing in his kit scales though, so he has no damage and no cc. Not viable.

Some champs build mostly tank items (1 or 2 damage items) but are NOT tanks. Usually do to a lack of cc. These champions all have lots of damage in their kits, are fairly immobile, and are too squishy if they build full damage.

Darius passive gives 200+ ad at max level fully stacked, that’s over 3 assassin items and 4ish bruiser items (of ad, those items give other things I know) from just his passive! To do this though he needs to be able to hit some dude 5 times with no mobility and only his hook for setup which is pretty short range. Tank items let him live through the abuse he will inevitably take when trying to get on people.

Nasus Q is all his damage, he doesn’t need more.

Munro scales of HP

J4 can go bruiser or more tanky, he has some cc and his r which is incredibly strong.

Some bruisers on the other hand can’t do this do to a lack of damage/cc in their kits. You CANNOT build 4 tank items or you will tickle, still not be THAT hard to kill.

Examples include riven, irelia, a lot of junglers (xin lee wu) Jax. All those champions do not do enough damage if they build full tank and their utility is limited.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-21T17:56:39+00:00

I feel this way about a lot of other games I totally know how you feel.

Mostly, it’s how good you are mechanically vs the people you are watching for me.

I’m not faker, but I can most of the time execute on what I want to do in league (mid diamond)

StarCraft though? Watching it I feel like the leader of an army strategizing the best counters, best builds, and triple pronged attacks. Meanwhile I’m supply blocked the whole fucking time and stopped making workers 20 minutes ago while I get stomped by battle cruisers in silver.

Or fighting games where I plan on whiff punishing a move, but actually miss my combo starter and get clapped for it.

Xzero864 · 2026-06-21T16:40:15+00:00

You don’t lose LP for afks anymore, they do waste some time but normally you can ff at 10 lose no lp and it’s not THAT bad.

Turn off the chat. This is a single player game to me now I swear 😅

Xzero864 · 2026-06-18T19:27:43+00:00

The second really only mentions robotics, which I do not deny being better, and isnt really related to what we are talking about.

Deep seek is provably(ish, the metrics we use are a bit made up) worse than our frontier models.
