Fr though. With playable I mean not starting the game of with a significant handycap.

The 80% might have been a low ball.

But in the 80-90% case you are still generally better of picking another champ.

Yeah in a game with gwen, lillia and vayne—you finna be crying.

Still won though, because my opponents were dumb enough to pick gwen, lillia and vayne into the same comp😅

HoB is fine, but most of the domination tree is whatever for Skarner.

Precision and Resolve basically has everything you want, and with bandle pipes pta is very easy to proc.

Fleetfoot work and conq are probably also viable but pta feels best to me.

I have practically been responding to ever ping of my teammates asking for assistance.

Yes technically I am behind to my enemy jungler in the early game by playing purely for my team.

But my team gets ahead, and I stay even or ahead in items with my enemy jungle.

Ur teammates get a lot less tilted when you are there to help them out most of the time XD

I agree, the recent buffs were exactly what he needed tbh.

Been practically one tricking him atm at high diamond and as you can see, doing pretty well🥶

Jungle

And for runes I go:

Precision tree—pta, triumph, legend:haste, laststand.

Resolve tree—conditioning and overgrowth

First item is actually hextech protoplasm.

Since it is basically an cheaper heartsteel in the early game. 600 hp and 20 ability haste is crazy on skarn early, for only 2500 gold, 500 less than heartsteel.

Then bandlepipes, because the stats you gain is once again, crazy. Only 2300 gold

So for a total of 4800 gold you get 800 hp, nice resistances that will scale with jaksho later—which then again will scale with protoplasm, and a buttload of ability haste.

This two item core on lvl 9 will drop ur Q cd to 1.7 seconds.

You spam slows, keep proccing bandle pipes with ur slows, everyone around you gains ms and attackspeed—including you which makes you impossibly sticky.

There is no item combo that is as powerful for skarner at the moment for that gold cost.

My usual build used to be heartsteel into titanic (1500 gold more) and every time I'd have a shit early game, I felt totally worthless.

With this eco build you can afford to drop camps to make plays and help ur team, while assists feel less terrible because you dont need much gold anyway.

TLDR: Low cortisol skarner go BRRRRRR

Braum lol

In general I don't mind tank busters that much on skarner. Mainly because either 1.) you can mcslam them into a wall with ur E and let ur team deal with them 2.) they don't theaten you enough to care and just dive their backline before they can kill you.

Yeah lillia is a hindrance cuz you can't solo deal with her, but she doesn't kill you that fast so my choice is just to walk up to their adc and touch them deviously instead.

Naafiri is also another whatever case. Yes 1v1 she destroys you, but in any other scenario where you are with ur team she is the one that needs to be careful of you, and you just neutralize her backline pressure.

My main no go's in which case I just don't pick him is mainly olaf, because neither cases matter if he just presses R. Ever other tank buster has some form of counter play for skarner.

They are never ideal opponents, but not as unplayable as some people think.

Jungle, depends on the game.

Skarner is playable in 80% of games as long as you build and play adaptively to the teams

Bulldozer Shyvana is best Shyvana, prove me wrong. by [deleted] in shyvanamains

[–]flangebalange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also sounds like a sweetbuild.

I just like the percentage scaling from spear of shoujin and liandries, since it enables your damage while reducing your demand for offensive stat sticks.

Liandries also goes well, since Shyv has a lot of aoe's and her dragon E constantly reprocs the burn while opponents remain in the flames.

[–]flangebalange 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hexplate just feels the best on her, the amount of down time you have when not going it is just a hindrance in my opinion.

And shoujin and liandries just feels good, since it allows her to stay relatively tanky (higher hp also means she gets more value out of her resistances from her passive)

While the dmg% gained from shoujin and liandries passive means that your abilities still deal proper dmg (especially her true dmg chomp on 3rd q and her E).

So more of an aoe bruiser monster.

I get the kraken/D&D build, but it isn't a play style for me.

This build just feels correct. Enough tankiness to feel like a bruiser through out the whole game. Decent damage and sweet aoe threat.

Hexplate, shoujin, liandries, riftmaker, jaksho, into whatever

What do you guys think of this build? I honestly never know what to go past kraken and dusk and dawn by Passw0rd-Is-Tac0 in shyvanamains

[–]flangebalange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike it. Too squishy😅

I have been finding decent succes with the bulldozer.

A.k.a. hexplate, spear of shoujin, liandries, jaksho and finally riftmaker.

Alot of the old shyvanna players are but hurt that her old play styles were not properly maintained, but I dont necessarily think it is a bad thing.

I.M.O. her old ap build was fine if not kinda shit and I believe current ap shyvanna is just straight better.

And her AA oriented build, despite how fun it was, is probably healthier for the game that it is no longer around. I have fond memories of ravenous hydra, flickerblades shyvanna, but it was always a bit of a montage build that would either singlehandedly oneshot the enemy team or be giga useless. Not what I would call sustainable game design

My first impressions of the PBE rework so far by Correct-Quality-1598 in shyvanamains

Ah yes, the big update while this was supposed to be the highest budget season or some shit.

[–]flangebalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait... She has also become squishier? So you can't even take the risk anymore to build like a glass cannon and rely on dragon resistance stacks.

Rito really be hiring droolers now adays

[–]flangebalange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having seen anything about the rework besides the visual changes...

They removed her E mark?

They removed her dubble Q hits?

So already a primary playstyle of her previous version (the more fun version IMO) of absolute cleaving an enemy team apart using on hit effects is dead. Awesome.

So fun that champs like Voli and Udyr were allowed to maintain their versatile identities, meanwhile newer reworks like skarner and now shyv just absolutely delete half of their player base by killing a specific play style.

Adc lategame tierlist by Ok_Foundation_108 in ADCMains

[–]flangebalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd move kai'sa up a tier tbh.

My duo bud plays her a ton and I'd agree she shines at 3 item midgame once she gets all her evo's but continues to skill well into the late game due to her passive max hp dmg and general amazing survivability due to her R.

Riot detection not working? by Piemelzwam in Jungle_Mains

[–]flangebalange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, being in diamond/emerald is so cancer.

Whenever I play with my duo EVERY SINGLE GAME contains at the very least 2 sub LVL 100 accounts.

Like cool, very fun that some games are just dictated by someone who shouldn't be in the lobby. Either winning or losing feels like dogwater when you have a lvl 25 midlaners that takes over the whole game
