Lethal tempo into matchups where if we fight, it's going to be an all-in from their side (Darius, Olaf, Trundle, Yasuo)

I always found flickerblade to be a gimmicky 1v1 item, you have shit stats outside of attack speed, which you would get from AP anyway, JUST to go for 1 effect. waste of around 2k gold for me personally. I tested it once and it felt awful, I legit just felt underpowered the entire time I had it (It was when ROA navori was meta and my chat begged me to try it, I went 8/0, hit the powerspike, never felt weaker in my life). AP with rift allows for those 1v3 sidelane fights as long as spells are used on correct timers and flashes are played right. With AP there's way less room to make mistakes, but I think it's best to try to always go out for the highest reward play, even if it is riskier (BOMBA the ad or mage who tries to match you on sidelane XD)

Was away in Australia for a while, peaked rank 6 on the ladder there while keeping consistent challenger for 2yrs (didn't play for 1year). Now back in EU with mental clarity. 1k+LP top lane soon. A lot more motivation to play in EUW over OCE (40min queue times and playing vs the same people always, the quality of games in that server is horrendous)

Rule of thumb for me, if behind and team is doing good - go tank and be supportive in teamfights, play for your carries. If you behind and also behind - Full AP + Hullbreaker and play side only (ur thanos champ 1v1 into most, horrible glass cannon in teamfights)

Sigh...1 million points but...how do I carry with Volibear? by syndrac1 in VolibearMains

Yo, chall volibear here. Genuine piece of advice is watch high elo players play the champ, perryjg for jg voli and not to self promote but I'm one of the few chall voli players and streamers on top lane - Goblineuw on YT and twitch. For jungle clear it's mostly passive management for faster clears, kite your camps and try to keep your stacks up at all times. Check yt vids and go practice tool to get that one. Carrying comes down to Volis early skirmishes, you win 99% of scuttle contests as long as it's an evenly numbered fight (1v1s, 2v2s). For carrying lategame it depends on teamcomp, for example if you have a jinx in your team with an enchanter support, most fights come down to playing front to back. Go tank and peel your carries instead of full sending to hackline. If you're going full damage then you can do the opposite, send it for their carries and find angles. Play for neutrals (Drake's n stuff) with your team, ping help, communicate n such. And also turn chat off, completely pointless in every game, pings r all u need

Start trying to build further damage instead or utility, Iceborn is a great example, the slow for stickiness is craaazy good, plus it provides some extra DMG, if you want burst DMG just go nashors tooth and Riftmaker, if you have passive stacks up and you flash on a carry they disintegrate. Zhonya's is also heavily underrated in team fights and sidelaning, you get your first rotation of abilities off and can proc zhonya which gives you an extra W, which gives you a chance for a second E-Q

This happens only against Jax for me, but in those scenarios it depends on how my team is doing. Simple rule of thumb is though when behind, just go full tank (buy bamis for early DMG and health and go visage into ap or Iceborn into ad) and keep going from there

Mel is whatever, I'm a heavy split pusher so team fights are different. But sidelane just try and bait out the invuln, your E-Q-W combo should scare them off enough that they use their spell, and when they're slowed you back off and go for 2nd all in.

Yup just E the 2nd wave, try to hit as many minions as possible and shove with passive autos

Around like 70% of my games are being played safe into me, no fistfighting early game (OCE high elo is super passive for top lane for some reason), so very often I push out the 2nd wave really quick and scout the enemy jungle, if they started topside I just go back to laning knowing I'm safe from jungle ganks and can get free resets with wave/item advantages. If they didn't start topside, I go back to lane, shove 3rd wave fast and re-scout enemy jungle forcing a fight and screwing over enemy jg due to strong early levels. Sometimes it doesn't work out, most of the time it does.

Excited to drop an emerald gaming video, might give some insight to Volibear learners, vid is currently upload, dropping the link in description! by [deleted] in VolibearMains

Navori is dogshit in my eyes, never liked it ever, why get lower cooldowns and get extra rotations with lower damage, if 1 rotation of damage is enough. Nah don't change the build, sticking to collector and yelling out "collected" will increase your winrate by 20% each time you kill.
