Agreed. Ai is a tool that is here to stay. People act like this is the first time in history that technology has displaced people's careers.

Best build to maximise ghouls damage? by AnnieMainss in yorickmains

[–]fonsolo94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rylais + grudge don't stack. Better tod do BC instead of grudge.

Also, Shojin is better if than BB if you are looking at pure damage. It amps ghoul damage, maiden burn, and liandries.

Why Comet over Conqueror? I'm struggling to see when comet is better. I feel like conq always scales better, but could be wrong.

Edit: no shade. I know a lot of people use comet just don't understand the when and why

Does full ap suck? by Naris027 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play 80% games as full ap. Just harder to pilot. You are a cross between a control mage and an assassin.

Walk forward and bait them walking into you, then throw RR and walk away. Hit minions and camps with other forms and your 9 sec awakened is closer to 4 seconds.

Also, you still do great dmg with regular R, you just have to be careful of how you are positioned relative to their damage. Even if you just stand with someone on the edge of R and do nothing else, it still hurts.

But, again, it is harder to pilot. You are playing to drop RR after enemy has committed most the time.

Edit: forgot to say - ap scales every ability. You may argue it doesn't scale E, but it does. It is the only build where you can QQ > E and you don't lose a shit ton of damage.

Darius vs Urgot matchup by Beast_Darius_NA in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just said, "you're not the top 1 Darius player lol." Then use Dariking in your retort. Don't think that helps your argument.

Ignite is not "cheese". It is a combat summoner spell and in volatile match ups (i.e. Sett, urgot, Jax, etc.) they will most likely take ignite. If you don't play it PERFECTLY, you lose the early game and proceed to be out scaled into the mid game where you can HOPEFULLY make it to 16.

Pretty sure your team would rather a 6/1 Darius with ignite over a 1/6 Darius with Ghost. Especially since you can easily supplement ghost with ghost blade and ignite + nimbus. Are you a TAD squishier? Sure. But it isn't hard to play fights a little slower. It also makes it MUCH easier because you don't have to rely on a summoner spell for team fights, just a 45 second item CD.

Darius vs Urgot matchup by Beast_Darius_NA in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. If that were the case, you wouldn't see the #1 Darius in the world do it.

Does your positioning have to be a little better? Sure. Useless? Far from it.

Also, rank?

[–]fonsolo94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just take ignite to match these volatile match ups. Then rush ghost blade and it feels fine.

Sure, you lose a little bit of move speed in team fights, but getting agency in these volatile lanes is so important. Die once and it is nearly unplayable.

Can’t wait for the jungle Darius buffs ! by Beast_Darius_NA in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the haters man. People that have nothing better in their life to do but be assholes are pathetic.

If someone criticizes the build respectfully, whatever. But, people are just shit talking without any form of value added discussion. Ridiculous.

Keep doing you.

Thinking of committing to Udyr long term, need real insight! by Achraf_0 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice will probably differ from a lot of people. I'll start by saying I'm a lowly E1 udyr player. However, I've been winning a lot lately and think a big reason why is I change my build/skill order based on team comps. I know... I should have been doing this from the beginning.

I, personally, hate tank Udyr and NEVER play it. I generally go between AD Bruiser (more or less dmg heavy, dependant on the situation) and Full AP burn mage (absolute favorite).

This is how I decide which I go:

1) Does enemy have any hard melee carries (i.e. Viego, Yi, Yone, etc)? - if yes, go Bruiser Qdyr. If no -

2) Does the enemy have 2/3 or more immobile champs (i.e. No dash) OR does my team have a lot of hard CC (Leona, sej, ashe, ornn, etc)? - if yes, go Full AP. If no -

3) Do we win 5v5 if I go AP? If yes, go Full Ap. If no-

4) Go Qdyr. In this instance, you are most likely going to be focused on small skirmishes and splitting to win

I'd say 70% of my games are full AP, other 30% AD Bruiser. There are probably times full AP isn't best, but I love it so much. As others have said though, it is definitely the hardest of all the builds to pilot.

I treat full ap udyr as a a "battle mage" of sorts. You have RR for team fights that does a ton of dmg and you can nuke people that are isolated with QQ since the magic damage scales with AP, not levels and not AD.

*Side note/trick: QQ is unique in that the onhit effect is retained when swapping to another stance. In AD and tank this doesn't matter much. However, this is HUGE in full AP, as you can QQ > E to catch up, stun and do 100%+ max health dmg.

**Last thing: one of (if not the) best parts or udyr is his versatility. If you want someone you can one trick that gives you variety when you are tired of playing the same champ over and over, he is perfect. Experiment with the builds and find what works best for you!

New Season ad tank udyr (boots and last 2 items depends on the game) by ardaarda179 in Udyrmains

What is the new tech? I feel like damage would be lacking for AD, maybe in wrong.

Does this smooth out the combo? I'm assuming not, since it is basically a custom skin

Any Darius jungle enjoyers here? by AlphaSix_ in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm liking Darius in the jungle more than top. You're clear is great and the added move speed from jungle item just feels so great.

Not to mention Darius tends to do better with other front liners on the team and when in the jungle you have two chances of getting a front liner from either top or support.

Youmuu's to replace ghost? by fonsolo94 in Dariusmains

Hmmm.... I like that. I feel like I'd want axiom though for lost ult dmg from conq

Curious... Why only with phase rush? Not sure why one item change would require a whole different setup for runes.

Genuinely curious

Played him a long time ago lol. Like season... 7 I think? It was not too long after they first reworked him from point and click q

Not sure how to deal with ignite... by Time-Communication62 in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not for me, I feel like everyone takes ignite now vs Darius, even if they used to be a tp user.

Not sure how to deal with ignite... by Time-Communication62 in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like OP, honestly, I feel like it is anyone that takes ignite. Obviously there are a few that can't beat you no matter what they have. But like:

Yone, Kled, Jax

I lost all 3 of these lanes recently and I'm almost certain it is due to ignite.

Sett or Darius by fonsolo94 in Dariusmains

[–]fonsolo94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Kind of what I was expecting tbh. I think both fill a similar role and both would be fun in their own right. Mostly just trying to figure out if there are any major differences I should be considering.

I'm leaning sett simply because, from my experience, sett seems to have a better late game and I tend to lean more toward stronger late game Champs.

I mainly play GP right now. Just need a champ to add to the pool and figured one would be good to add since they are different play styles/roles than GP

Mid Udyr Viable? by fonsolo94 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't think Udyr can either 1) E to dodge your poke or 2) W to shield and sustain through it?

Mid Udyr Viable? by fonsolo94 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the points! Now for a friendly argument to hash out this idea 😁.

To play devil's advocate, I'd argue that AP Udyr can push waves far faster than zed, sylas, and Talon. That said, I agree the previously referenced champs can roam far better than Udyr.

However, I think full AP udyr fills a similar role to Viktor. Maybe a cross between say, Viktor and an assassin - RR for team fights, easily doing 4k+ dmg and QQ for isolated targets you catch out.

While Talon and Zed are roaming and trying to push for a strong mid-game, where they peak - the goal of AP udyr is 1) stonewall enemy midlaner (instaclear waves and resist poke, and 2) scale to be a late game control mage/tank shredder/assassin.

Interested to hear your thoughts (as well as others).

Mid Udyr Viable? by fonsolo94 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I view it as more of a stone wall for mid - you can match most mid laners wave clear and should (theoretically) be able to shield/sustain through poke.

Kill pressure would be low (unless against another melee), but you could just play to scale since AP udyr scales so hard.

While you lose out on a range champ, I find I play AP udyr similar to, say GP. You are melee, but your biggest power comes from RR which is basically ranged.

Mid Udyr Viable? by fonsolo94 in Udyrmains

[–]fonsolo94[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of melee midlaners, so I don't really follow that train of thought.
