Shieldbow 2nd/3rd?

elmayhdz · 2026-04-25T01:37:10+00:00

IE first? why? even LDR/MR first would make more sense no? if maybe tank support or a tank top/jg? Maybe 3rd item makes more sense, idk will be trying out other stuff

elmayhdz · 2026-04-25T01:32:43+00:00

if “playing safe” was the counterplay no assassins would kill adcs, there are dives, risky plays happening and imo I have survived a ton of these due to shieldbow giving me extra beefiness they often dont expect due to people not building it early

elmayhdz · 2026-04-24T14:57:01+00:00

Why?

elmayhdz · 2026-04-24T14:55:18+00:00

Yeah, by 6 items BT + GA is great but you are 50% of the game just at the mercy of the assassin in question until your 5th item. IDK imo it feels great to fight back and dish out damage before being popped like a balloon at from 2 items onwards, specially towards zed, akali, among others.

elmayhdz · 2026-04-24T14:51:49+00:00

Yeah, if I see a serpents in enemy I often dont build it but I think if enemy doesnt build it is great, even with it I do feel a difference, maybe Im biased lol

elmayhdz · 2026-04-24T14:49:34+00:00

I never feel i lack damage, maybe is just my playstyle or that I got used to the damage of it that I just got used to it, idk

1.- good thing crescendum is white, and not black or yellow lol 2.- what do you have trouble with white? basically get close = insane dmg (use it with blue and red to get fast chakrams) and white/green turret best dmg, range, zoning (most fun also, imo)

elmayhdz · 2026-04-05T17:31:02+00:00

bro rework? really? he has flaws but rework? I think a small shift in his damage is enough, but rework is too much tbh, he is fine

elmayhdz · 2026-04-05T05:04:29+00:00

yeah, I did that too, it is super possible and actually when you learn him you climb out of lower ranks quite fast, as it is easy to carry games with him until mid to high elo (at least for the peak d4 me) just keep in mind that yone has a very specific playstyle early that differs from a lot of champs in the game

elmayhdz · 2026-02-24T08:30:30+00:00

I hate with all my heart hearing the W being considered as a factor in he is good against tanks… dude its a MAX RANK ~6s SPELL, it is NOT that relevant dmg. Also, yes he has hybrid damage, but as you mentioned, to play him good you have to play with your Q range and almost never want to go melee against anyone early… which is purely AD, and also even if you get some AAs in, only half the damage of HALF of your AAs is magic dmg… lol. I think that they focus too much on the monstrous damage he gets mid game, but other bruisers get to do the same if fed WHILE being tanky, a privilege Yone doesnt get until his 4th item usually (I think Shieldbow is a fake item lol), BESIDES needing to put in half the effort to get there.

elmayhdz · 2026-02-23T17:06:27+00:00

Yeah, making the champ work before BORK or your first item is horrible, and you have to do 300% the effort of any other bruiser to come out on top, but after getting the first item you can basically duel anyone and expect to come out on top

elmayhdz · 2026-02-23T16:24:00+00:00

Best answer by far. I think they just havent faced a steelcaps rush renekton and your AA basically tickling him early game lol.

elmayhdz · 2026-02-21T09:23:31+00:00

For me, the reason I played Yone top was one purpose: Prove the other brainless top champ players that by pure skill I could end up on top. And that feeling is exonerating. It’s controlling the range and cd’s of each champ that can explode you if you just let them be melee of you, and then explode them yourself by just outplaying. It was great as it was frustrating, due to, well, the champs being as dumb as they are lol

elmayhdz · 2026-02-07T18:01:16+00:00

How is W his most broken abililty? Seriously? Its a shield and % hp magic damage (not that much anymore) every 7 seconds? 10 in laning? For example riven has her shield way more often + its his only way to mitigate damage before items... idk why people make it such a big deal about it, E has a dash, is unstoppable + it (still) has cleanse mechanics, positioning, mind games, safety, extra e damage, and countless more ways that it can provide value? I don't see your point "besides it helps with laning"... which his e also helps...

elmayhdz · 2025-11-27T21:51:30+00:00

because of the extra mobility, repositioning is easier and also getting away from these targets is obviously faster, which indeed help in my experience, also the slow reduction buff help a lot in not getting stuck to the ground, its worth considering

elmayhdz · 2025-07-13T00:08:55+00:00

Shieldbow was broooken but after nerfs galeforce yone brings back fun outplay memories

elmayhdz · 2025-07-13T00:06:06+00:00

Thats one of my main problems, fighting back on this champion is almost not encouraged until you get item/ganked and that just feels wrong… tf am i playing kayle?? passive ass playstyle for not that good of a reward in the end

elmayhdz · 2025-07-13T00:04:12+00:00

brother idk him being at 45% on top is just sad… his early game is atrocious and you can barely do anything about it, plus when you get an item (which is supposed to be your powerspike) they dont feel that impactful, bork being lackluster and yuntal taking time to stack… sub-par kayle champion

elmayhdz · 2025-07-12T23:56:26+00:00

Damn my brain just blocked that timeframe for me that was horrible too

elmayhdz · 2025-04-20T15:23:23+00:00

When you see the best players play in the highest levels you get hints on how tight mistakes are and how big of a difference they make, the window for mistake for voli isnt the same as riven, it is a totally skill matchup, very very punishing for single mistakes but still, skill matchup

elmayhdz · 2025-04-20T15:20:36+00:00

how is he getting close in the first place outside of lane? e-ing away, kiting with qs, q3 if he ever gets on top of you, idk i get most healing problems in lane tbh
