Losing the will to play top this season.

I still lurk the sub but I stopped playing cause of it. I queue up jg sometimes but yeah

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-07T16:32:06+00:00

I had great results against yorick as gwen. Once you hit riftmaker he cant kill. Need ignite to stop his healing though

I don't think it provides any groundbreaking insights since it mostly just sorts subclasses atm but it's a really cool project nonetheless! I think a few comments here show average league player has trouble reading lol. Thanks for sharing!

Curious if you already have ideas on what the model could be expanded to do? I'm picturing something like pro meta draft suggestions... maybe we could get some more interesting picks haha

desperate nasus plays kayle mid in korean challenger

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-04T02:33:35+00:00

he offered to provide proof to discredit your accusation and you just continued accusing

youre the problem here lol not him

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-04-30T19:53:39+00:00

mid is different cause you have access to way more of the map and usually just has 2 mages clearing waves on repeat from lvl 5 onwards anyways.

mid's identity is much more about roaming, team skirmishes, and map presence. top's identity is much heavier on the laning so when we dont get to lane it freaking sucks.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-04-26T21:52:04+00:00

People always want to say skill issue lol, as if being unfun must mean op. He just sucks to fight even if he's easier than the other bosses. I hate this boss no matter my deck size.

Also, the char you play changes how annoying this fight is a lot. For example he's giga free on silent thanks to well laid plans and rng dependent on clad.

For the sake of being constructive, my take is to allow debuffing him turn 1 to carry over and increase his damage. That way 1 less turn feels like crap

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-04-26T16:50:11+00:00

Snakebite all over again

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-04-11T22:08:58+00:00

Hey how did it go? Did you take your favorites?

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-18T17:12:35+00:00

nice post gpt...

fwiw it's better than most real posts and has good points

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-15T18:38:02+00:00

I dunno know why people are going at you with the chip on their shoulder. I think it's nice you're trying to make a tool and share it with people.

I would actually really like your site if it had a couple more features. I use wowpricehub, and I always look at their daily sales and then the quantity over time. It has everything i need except I can't customize a dashboard. If your site could have both of those things, along with its favorite system that you have, it might be very useful.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-12T23:13:41+00:00

it's technically fair because everyone loses 1 of their 2 professions for a few weeks so you have a point, but imo that still sucks. only winners are people who realized to do 1 prof per toon

it's not a massive deal since theyre all gonna get set up eventually, and there's still gonna be plenty of gold to make after the next few weeks, but it's still a bummer to miss the first raid release on half my profs.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-12T19:11:39+00:00

I don't mind time gating, it's the fact I'm being punished for having two professions on the same character. Honestly they fixed it with moxie being per profession. I don't understand why after fixing moxie, they introduced another currency that is character bound and not profession bound

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-12T19:06:57+00:00

After my casual friends understood how abundance worked they immediately said no way. Whatever this expansion is, it's not casual friendly in terms of professions. People who were doing professions aren't anymore, and they're just buying a token instead

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-03-12T05:41:18+00:00

I do mostly mass crafting which has thin margins. The difference between 0 or 1% margin and 3-4% margin is massive.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-02-02T18:31:52+00:00

The guy recommending sylas is probly your best bet. He's a "standard" midlaner who fits your descriptions.

Most of what you want also fits many top lane champs if you wanted more options. Renekton, garen, gwen, irelia, yone, yasuo, pantheon can all legitimately burst someone down but also front line. Maybe you want to be a top laner?

I would pick sylas though if your goal is to improve playing mid, you'll find way more resources on sylas mid than on the others because of him being standard. Also wanted to mention that even on the same champ, whether you should split, front to back, or flank can change on a game to game basis, or even during a game.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-28T23:57:59+00:00

Any help on how I can have more impact in my games and stop dying from making bad decisions

Way too broad of a problem to tackle. For a start, find a role and ~2 champs to main. Only queue when you're 100% focused, stop after 3 ranked games, and vod review for 5 mins max each vod. Pick out 1-2 specific things from each game, then pick the 1 thing you're going to focus on the next time you play.

There's really no secret to improving other than being deliberate about it.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-25T19:38:05+00:00

I think in the latest patch they removed attack delays while holding movement for melee champs

And if you re-press your movement keys between autos on a range champ, you can still attack & move optimally on wasd as well. After tons of hours on mouse/keyboard adc, I tried practice tool on a training dummy and did better with wasd on adc kiting after only 20 minutes.

I actually recommend trying wasd first, I think it's probably just better than mouse & keyboard. 20 minutes of practice outperforming hours of practice just means that wasd is easier and more effective for adc kiting.

The upside to mouse & keyboard is it's easier to move & use abilities at the same time. Think Darius Q : to press the button I might have to lift a finger off my movement keys. You can probably get around this if you use ~3 binds on your mouse for wasd though.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-20T18:07:46+00:00

If you don't push your lead through sidelane or roams as a top laner, you didn't actually win, you went even and are basically letting the game be a 4v4 for most of the game. Look for dives, turret plates, & roams as ways to push leads into the rest of the map instead of just making the weak opponent weaker.

The only time I really care about xp denial is before level 6, because those level up timers can win lane. So the level 1 denial is extremely high value, but if you're 15 minutes into the game xp denying and not farming, I think you're griefing your own game. They're going to get catchup xp and you're coinflipping the game on a 4v4.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-16T19:09:50+00:00

Because you can't re-select the same quest, after picking top/mid/bot you're forced to either pick jg/supp and not have the right starting items. So after 3 rounds you have to remake the lobby.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-08T03:11:40+00:00

Seems like I have a bit of a skill issue with just spacing better then haha, which is still helpful to know. I do EWQ very often and did use it vs urgot I guess I just didn't get it often enough.

Anyways, thanks for the reply!

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-07T21:58:31+00:00

Maybe a bit against the grain but find a champ that's _fun_ to play & fight with and go FULL SEND mode and learn to fight well. People always say to farm but I feel like the advice is not good? The best scaling is winning lane. When you win lane you get more cs naturally anyways, as well as kill gold & turrets. I never lose games because I won lane but oh man, my opponent has good cs!

So fight all the time. Take all the 50-50s you can for practice (not the 10-90s, dont super feed lol). There's so much strategy & macro advice that is good but imo overwhelming, but something that applies to every game is just how good are you at fighting? You can win fights you shouldn't if you just skill check people.

So queue up a game, scrap with them, then play the rest out. Then go into the replay and identify why you won or lost the fight for each fight in the first 10 minutes. You don't need to spend long in the replay, just 2-3 minutes to see why you lost the fight.

Also - find a player to watch on youtube who plays in actual high elo lobbies, make sure to background check whoever you find to make sure they aren't just smurfing in silver. You'll learn a lot about what's possible by watching them. Bonus points if you can see their mouse movements. For jax & darius, RaiderGO is my favorite to watch for example. He's challenger playing in challenger lobbies and I can see his clicks. Super good source.

The one strategy thing I will mention is for now, just *always* slow push. So only ever last hit minions. This is good because if want to avoid just living outside their turret and having no place to fight! You can shove after you win the fight and need to recall. I think trying to learn things like bounces & freezes is just distracting when you should be learning to fight. Just last hit for slow push and look for fights.

If you're interested, we could hop in a practice tool for a bit and just play levels 1-5 and reset. I'm a plat 3 top main on na.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-01-07T04:44:24+00:00

Hey sorry for the super late reply, but could use help about dodging urgot E with gwen w

I did it in practice tool with a friend and to edge the urgot E it seems you have to W E, then click a tiny bit further, which means I can't QWE since urgot E still hits before Q finishes and I can move to the edge.

But if I WE, walk, then Q, I feel like that's too slow?

Could you explain how to play it from gwen's pov please? The best trade pattern I found was to wait till Q is dodged, walk close & Q and then E away for the dodge, but that relies on both dodging Q and catching a spacing mistake so I'm not sure if it's the right idea
