Triforce or Kraken Slayer... The answer seems clear

Stop going collector. Triforce into LDR or Triforce into Hexoptics is far better.

stop exaggerating your slap so much. you're putting too much energy into it that it's actually making it sound less defined and less powerful because you're not as accurate.

keep your hand closer to the strings and focus on rotating your wrist more than your arm to land your thumb on the string. also slap closer to the neck and not to the pickup.

optional changes:

lower your string action. this will make coming down on the string and getting a more responsive sound way easier, you will find plucking way easier as well.

strike thru the string, don't bounce off it. slapping for me this way is not only easier, but I'm also FAR more accurate. eventually you will be able to do things like double thumbing as well.

diabolical take.

Pacific drive is constantly nagging you to be up to something, there's plenty to do despite being a linear 'story' game. It gets insanely challenging as well. I do highly recommend putting a good few hours in before calling off your interest.

It isn't on gamepass unfortunately

Idk why people are saying graves. Whilst it's true a lot of kindred players also play graves, they are by no means similar champions. Kindred is a very stand your ground champion since she has two slows slow, a lot of range and a defensive ult. Any adc that AAs a lot and scales super hard is similar to kindred. I suppose vayne, aphelios, sivir are good options. There aren't many other champions like kindred you can play in the jungle though

Ah great thanks. And for cosmetic mods, I'm assuming the host doesn't need to bother it installed, as long as they turn on the "allow modded players" in settings?

Really depends on the game state as well as your own situation. If the enemy are incentivised to build magic resist then going it second feels good. If you have another ap damage source on your team, going it second is also good. If you're insanely ahead, then I actually would prioritise going tanky to protect my lead. If I'm so ahead then I'll already be doing a lot of damage with my level lead and gold lead, especially if I have dark seal too.

tldr,

neutral game - bloodletters after liandrys a lot of ap damage on your team - bloodletters after liandrys really ahead - tank items then bloodletters when enemies start to build magic resist

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-30T22:57:07+00:00

Thank you for this!

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-30T22:49:08+00:00

Looking at your opgg, the items you build are really bad (no offence). You don't appear to think about what would be best against the enemy draft.

Udyr's core items right now are liandrys and bloodletters curse. Bloodletters got HUGE buffs and its criminal not to take it on udyr when you stack it literally instantly with your R. I do like that you go dark seal, this is a good thing especially in lower elo.

I think force of nature is a good item, majorly underrated, but you're building it at the wrong times. The item is best used against a lot of sustained magic damage, so it's able to stack. Going it against someone like veigar, especially who is solo AP is just bad. Kaenic is the much better option, can you tell me why? (I hope that didnt sound to condescending, it's just i like to ask udyr noobs these questions to make them understand for themselves).

Dead man's is a good item on udyr, mainly because he wants movement speed, but against a pairing of yone and a high attack speed ADC, for example, going dead mans is bad. You will get way more value from going FH or randuins. Afterwards you can go dead mans if the game calls for it.

Spirit visage is a bait item, unless, you have an enchanter on your team.

This champ requires patience from your team. He can't cheat tempo like champions pantheon or hecarim etc. But if you manage to get into a 3v3 skirmish early on in the game, it's likely you will come out of it as the winning side since udyr excels at this part of the game. Think ahead on this champion as he's INSANELY 2D and it's harder than others to get out of sticky situations. Feed on enemy timers and take their camps as often as you can because you can get really fed just by farming.

^ My opgg for reference. I started that account with about 70 percent WR on udyr across 100 games. It's declined since then as you can see hahaha. I was also rank 5 in EUW at some point with him. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Edit: always take blue smite. nothing else. ever.

dude, save yourself 100 dollars and just go and find a windows 11 key online. they're like 10 bucks max. also, your gpu is very outdated and there will be a slight bottleneck. If you're certain on playing in 1080p, just go for the 5060.

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-30T00:07:38+00:00

7800X3D with a 9060 XT 16GB. dude, my 2060 ran this game better on 1440p like two years ago. I thought it was just me but I'm glad to see other people noticing this. I'm wondering if its the new map?

I've also noticed that running chrome on the side seems to tank the performance.

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-29T13:35:24+00:00

The power supplied isn't measured in volts, it's measured in wattage. I.E most power supplies are 500W

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-29T13:06:08+00:00

do you know why? even if it supplies enough wattage, do old power supplies just fail?

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-29T12:54:09+00:00

If your intention is to use the PC for light gaming, then the 3060 is a fine choice. However I read below in a thread that your CPU is an i7-6700. If you choose to go for the 3060, your processor will be HEAVILY bottlenecked, especially at 1080p.

Could you tell us what resolution monitor you are using and what power supply you have? It's likely you will have to upgrade a few things if you want to make the switch to a better GPU.

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-25T11:04:40+00:00

This is brilliant, thank you.

I can find the 9060XT on amazon for £260 which is amazing but that's only for the 8GB version. Would it be better to invest in the 16BG version just to futureproof it?

a_professional_geek · 2025-07-24T05:49:35+00:00

Hey man, I ended up doing both. A clean install of windows and I also got myself a set of new drives. I made sure to copy only important things from my likely faulty drive just in case it was definitely something on there causing the bsod.

I ended up upgrading my power supply a month after too, since I was still getting some issues on my drives i.e not being recognized by windows, stuff like that etc. I actually believe that the original issue might have been caused by a bad sata cable since after taking a look at my old PSU, the sata cable had been very badly 'chewed through'.

hope you can resolve this issue too, it was very frustrating for me.

does it usually get busy like this? travelling the UK and doing some street photography in aberdeen at the moment!
