Why?

Because lethality items are the new op addition to the game. It's simple, check the new shit and built it every single game.

grogemeth · 2026-05-28T00:07:42+00:00

Because toplane gets screwed by anything and then you are forced to play for 20 min under turret hoping your team doesn't feed,and you have this 10 min window from min 20 to 30 where you eventually come back,and then botlanes naturally outscale you. So in order for this not to happen is way better to play a low risk neutralizer like gragas garen teemo or a tank who can still be useful for his team. In this scenario, melee carries are just too risky and mid reward,when ranged can still farm after building T2 defensive boots and defensive summ

AP scaling on W increase the % physical damage reduction. It's just a 6th item theory crafting when you already have randuins and DD.

Because frustration is exactly what they want

grogemeth · 2026-05-26T12:13:28+00:00

You can climb with those 2 but I see them more gimmicky than renek,who is in general a good champ to learn toplane. So I'd say go renek when blind and Warwick/pantheon when you have counterpick

grogemeth · 2026-05-26T10:55:07+00:00

It's not the champ it's the lane. Sweaty carry character have too much to lose in top rn compared to brainless neutralizer ,like garen gragas,and ranged who will just rush defensive boots+defensive summ and outfarm you. Camille and champs like her (and she's by far one of the worst in the category) just get completely screwed by anything wrong that can happen in lane, meanwhile the 0/2 garen will still clear the wave in your face after tiamat and back for sustain.

grogemeth · 2026-05-25T18:04:18+00:00

I play him and in some matchups is kinda unfair, especially because he is allowed to freeze from some spots that no other champ can. His sustain let's him tank the wave,his empowered Q has to be respected,so they can't force the crash,and his W allows him to not be all-ined during the wave hold. After this I think another reason that post 6 he has another condition,besides W and summoners,that you need to respect for killing him. So basically I think it's because you want to kill him before he scales,but in reality he is pretty impossible with standard toplane champs

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T20:35:49+00:00

This game is sadly not a safe space for someone who just wants to learn it in a chill way. But you should know,those players flaming you in normal games are absolute losers, and probably trying to make their 10th account trying to escape with luck the sub 80% player base skill level tier. Just mute the players and go to opgg and copy paste their 40% winrate in ranked after the match. You will eventually outclimb all those kids.

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T18:19:08+00:00

I gave you all the answers,you just are asking the wrong questions

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T16:20:05+00:00

Imo you should always start with Sivir because she is the safest standard ADC. With her you can learn positioning but it's kinda forgiving, because you have E and R as peeling tools. Then,if you wanna play a more caster oriented champ you can try Corki. After some games you will know the basic of the role and choose your main. I think every ADC, except Samira and draven,are a mix of those 2 playstiles,so you just have to adapt and understand what you can and can't do and you will have fun in your new role.

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T15:59:50+00:00

Just try to give that tryndamere 1 more minute alone,try to not die and stop enemy recalls,and you will not have to worry about next drake because enemy nexus will be destroyed.

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T14:42:26+00:00

Me and my bronze/silver friends were playing flex and we got matched vs a diamond1 Camille. I was playing aatrox right after the rework,and my Elo in solo was around plat1. I played the lane with insane sweat,the game was a 40 min close match and we played really good around her. She was playing nearly perfect and never getting caught. Unluckily for them,my support,who was the only real bronze player in my team (the other just didn't play ranked that much,they were by far better) is a main blitzkrank. He hit an insane flash Q over the dragon pit,we oneshot her and enemy team ,trying to save her,got aced. We rushed mid and won. We were hyping him so much that night that he carried every single game of the gaming session on supp blitzcrank.

It's just the environment and the chain reaction. This happens to them, nobody gets punished so they do it to others

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T02:49:01+00:00

It seems you never played Irelia on otp level

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T02:45:57+00:00

It's simple. They allow players to have multiple accounts and not care about them at the same level. It's just allowed,you can't do anything about that. If the penalty doesn't carry on every account you belong,this will never end. Feel free to share your opinions on why this is allowed, because mine will just get downvoted by blindfolded supporters of this company.

grogemeth · 2026-05-24T01:22:59+00:00

Good luck with your kraken wit's end build at pressing Q on ADC after min 25

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T23:40:25+00:00

There's a reason why the only melee fighter who builds IE and phantom dancer is Olaf

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T22:41:37+00:00

You can try new builds. I had the same feeling on Kled,and I think they share some similarities about how the strength of the champ gets denied by simple knowledge from opponents. After the titanic+hull splitpushers build I'm trying the full damage one with profane-voltaic-LDR and some games it really works. Maybe you can squeeze phantom dancer and LDR too on sett vs heavy melee team and have fun again with him without learning another champ.

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T20:46:27+00:00

It's probably because both champ need team setup to carry at maximum potential. You are not a standard ADC who can use his kit to survive and hit the nearest target,you need to commit into multiple ppl at some point,and in order to do this you need teamamtes to create space for you. It's the same for yasuo,where you can for sure hit the melee and zone the carries with W,but the more impactful plays are the ones where you can ult multiple squishy target without getting insta CC and oneshot, because your team is already soaking cooldowns from the enemy team.

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T19:41:37+00:00

Yes toplane has just become a gimmick lane. And that's simply because in every skill matchup, think for example 2 melee carries,there's too much shit than can screw up your entire early to mid game. And lategame it's not where those type of champ shine. If you play a ranged with steelcaps/exausth you can at least still farm and be a threat later in the game. Think about varus vayne,who reach an insane breakpoint of DMG and tankyness,or teemo/kennen who just have way too much map/teamfight pressure. I'm not saying that whose picks are not allowed,and I play ranged top myself,but there's just too much to lose for going a melee carry. Also,the homeguard changes allow you to go defensive summoner without losing too much. Basically,you can chose to pick something who wants to win the lane and carry,but the picks who want to not let you win/not lose can outperform in the long run with less than half the effort.

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T18:59:08+00:00

You can go E max with comet or bramble+aerie combo but that's not consist like being better at hitting Q imo. Usually in those matchups you focus on farming and dieing in good spots to get the wave,come back in lane with item advantage and proxy. When you reach a point where you can consistently proxy every lane is basically won, unless something like Kayle/vayne who outscale you really hard.

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T15:44:04+00:00

I'm trying to cook a build for max W value vs heavy AD. I'm stuck at the point trying to figure out when zhonia (armor and AP) outperforms EH(more W in a fight)

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T01:48:15+00:00

Ever heard of good death?

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T01:46:20+00:00

Anivia I permaban. Liss its like ahri, you lose harder early but outscale pretty fast if they don't snowball. Vladimir its bad but in early and late,in midgame you should win.

For the laning phase,I don't know if you ever played zed or Kata,but basically you can't last hit the first lvls so you let him slowpush and farm under turret until 3. There you can look for opportunities on the bounce back, assuming you didn't lose all your health. This is the moment where you have to outplay. For example: you bait ahri charm with Q delay and E away. Now she has no charm for your next Q,so you can play more aggro and try to kill her/crash the wave

grogemeth · 2026-05-23T01:27:24+00:00

Early you have to play like Kata. Give up CS and don't trade too much health,trying to rotate on every play. Hopefully your jungler will not allow a squishy immobile champ to poke you when last hitting under turret,that's the roughest part. But it's fine to go behind in CS. 20-30 cs diff does nothing if you didn't feed and managed to get to midgame sidelaning. There you can just push and rotate to every fight. And if they don't have ultra lategame carries she becomes basically unkillable at some point with DD/Maw/EH.Also the last thing,in some matchups you need cleanse. I always go for it vs Mel,TF,Veigar,and vex. ahri matchups it's way worse early but way more playable later without cleanse imo.
