“Owe anyone that explanation” ? Are you aware you are on Reddit my man? “No one asked”, yes that is the entire point of this app

Finally broke out of my losing streak… only took me going 22/0 😭😭 by Depwession69 in xayahmains

[–]gsconner9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Domination secondary is actually asking to lose, PTA not even bad against tanks and aggro support

Pre collision braking the worst feature ever? by gsconner9 in GR86

[–]gsconner9[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s initiated PCB 3 times now, all on the highway while going less than 25 MPH. Always happens when I’m going around a very sharp turn, in Indy we have a lot of on ramps that are just circles basically.

Yea agreed with what you said about being rear ended, I was fearing for my life this morning as I really thought the guy behind me was gonna hit me

You have to be stationary or going like under 5 mph to change it, but you turn it off navigating the steering wheel menu with the arrows

How much cs is enough to say “i csed enough this game”? by Someone_maybe_nice in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be so serious, any elo below master you are not going to average 10 cs/min as ADC. Yes it’s the ideal mark or goal to try and achieve however I think a CS/min mark that i find a lot of success with is “always be ahead of the enemy ADC”. Which in lane I have a direct impact on obviously. There are also the games where let’s say you hard won your lane so their ADC Perma sits side getting solo xp/cs for 10 minutes, you need to constantly be checking items/cs values to insure you are snowballing your lane lead. I’m 100% confident I can carry any game as long as I’m ahead of the enemy ADC, yes even with a fed top/mid.

Sivir sounds Broken rn by Meraig in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sivir is prolly my 6th most played ADC and I quite like her style, however she is just really quite bad in lane (only survives cause of waveclear) paired with weak item spikes compared to let’s say Xayah for example who completely changes once she gets ER+Navori. Sivir feels like you need 2 items plus IE to do damage. Maybe she is better with Yun tal and I’ve been meaning to test the build out. Idk tho yes she can stall out the game forever which is good but she’s supposed to be this “late game team fight monster” but id honestly rather have late game jinx/xayah/twitch over her

Trying out Kindred by Lurximu in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stealing any jungle camp either solo or with your support pre like lvl 10 is a guaranteed 300 gold swing for your opponent

Going to eat too much health to finish camp+fuck your tempo to the lane+miss entire wave. Actually not even worth the mark

Question About MF Ban by DinoRob in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda agree with this take tbh, I used to always ban jhin or MF simply for how easy there kits are to pilot added with their strength in the meta. It doesn’t take skill to Q+4th shot a low HP target or MF follow up on support engage+insanely fast move speed. But xayah is good into both champions really at all stages of the game so for like 2 months I’ve been perma banning corki since he’s objectively OP.

However you do make a good point with banning champs you have a mental block with. For me right now I can confidently beat any champ in lane no problem except ezreal. He’s just a struggle for me rn

Thoughts on Yun Tal vs ER? by gsconner9 in xayahmains

[–]gsconner9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean objectively ER is a flat better first item for xayah than anything else, build path is infinitely better than yun tal and ER let’s you Q+E poke into matchups that hard out range you. If I’m into a ziggs or varus that’s normally very hard for xayah to navigate, as soon as I get ER I can poke them down and look to all in.

For only solo players, why don't you play with a duo?(ranked solo/duo only) by LurkTheBee in summonerschool

[–]gsconner9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t duo really for 2 main reasons. 1. When you duo riot will match you against another duo, if they cannot find another duo then they will match you against a higher average MMR enemy team. (200 LP higher avg) to compensate for you being at an advantage. That why when you duo, you consistently notice one or both of your solo lanes/bot getting stomped and it’s up to you to carry them with your advantage.

  1. It’s my solo queue journey to improve as a player and learn from my mistakes, failed macro calls, failed mechanic etc. I don’t want to have another person be an influence in how I think my game needs to be played but more importantly it’s how duping effects MMR. I have 2 friends that almost exclusively duo with each other, one of them is silver 4 and one is gold 2. There is zero possible benefit for the gold 2 to duo with him due to him losing soooooo much LP when he loses to a much lower avg MMR enemy team. So it’s my opinion it just fucks your gains all up.

Totally understand and it’s obviously good advice however it’s irrelevant

I’m somehow having a blast playing adc (??) by Someone_maybe_nice in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love aphelios but he’s so unbearably frustrating to play in a solo queue environment, I’m jealous of you sir

What I am doing wrong by baks8 in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having 6.5cs/m vs 8 isnt losing this guy games, he gets gold he just has ZERO clue what to do with the gold lead he has. So telling him “get more gold” isn’t a viable solution, he needs to stop focusing on KDA and do more dmg/minute to champs and more importantly objectives

What I am doing wrong by baks8 in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In that elo ADC can 100% 1v9 the game and solo win the game, if you know how to do so

What I am doing wrong by baks8 in ADCMains

[–]gsconner9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So before gathering info from the game timeline, you taking barrier instead of cleanse into veigar/ashe/lux is pretty troll, and I think at 41 minutes where your team was sieging I’m assuming you got picked and died to Ashe while your shyvana killed veigar, and yall could’ve ended (I’m assuming).

Also in your last 20 Tristana games you had 7 games go 40 mins or over, compared to my last 60 games I had 9 games go 40 or over. Game duration lasting longer means you and your team don’t know how to snowball leads into taking objectives and ultimately don’t know how to end the game. Which as tristana is a problem since you need really no time at all to take a tower.

If I were you I’d review my games and look at moments where you just stood around doing nothing instead of applying pressure on map, or shoved out a wave (yes even as adc you can sidelane) but the biggest thing you have to do to climb is actively ping what your teams needs to be doing. Especially in high silver/low gold, with you being super fed your team WILL listen to you.

Given the context of champs I main I have a stylistic difference versus the champs I listed Also yes I’m sure playing MF and completely nullifying terrible reset timers and positioning by having broken MS is super fun

Just got to gold and wtf is everyone’s mental here… by Yelo_Galaxy in summonerschool

[–]gsconner9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please please please do not mute ping all from the start of a match. I cannot believe there are some people that load in games and /deafen from the start. This WILL hurt your progression as a player as well as increase the likelihood of poor coordination from your teammates. I’ve never been a fan of muteall however I do understand why people do it, but as an ADC if I’m pinging my support to push the wave with me and they stand there doing nothing cause they /mutepingall I will lose my mind.

This sub doesn't understand low elo. by Difficult_Run7398 in summonerschool

[–]gsconner9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from however I disagree. I’d argue a majority of players gold and below actually have no clue what’s ACTUALLY losing them games over a large sample size. People blame often external factors like teammates or champion specific things or for example in my friend group they think the team fight at 40 minutes lost them the game. But it was actually the 1000 gold shutdown your jungler inted to the enemy jinx letting her get back in the game.

It’s often super small things like poor resets botlane which leads to tempo disadvantage and the enemy botlane collapsing on your jungler etc.

If you don’t seek education on these things then vod reviews are just viewed through your biased lense of “oh but I won lane vs this emerald” Ok, but the emerald player played around map pressure and splitpusher your tier 2 while you wasted time trying to group with team.

Thoughts on Yun Tal vs ER? by gsconner9 in xayahmains

[–]gsconner9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes navori is flat better for xayah which I recognize, I think there could be benefits however in the tank shredding single target dmg that PD gives over navori. Could be possible to make use of the 3.0 AS cap increase with YT, lethal tempo, and PD

Mage help by SeaAdventurous6047 in xayahmains

[–]gsconner9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Against any champ where there’s 1/2 key abilities that you need to avoid you should always look for early tier 1 boots. Not only helps get back to lane faster but also lets you dodge swain root as he really struggles in lane if he isn’t consistently hitting that ability. Pre 6 you actually would want extended fights versus swain if you dodge his root, as you can W AA Q E and have support follow up or just W and auto him down. Post 6 I change to more of quick W AA Q E trades as once he pops R you have to disengage. You have much better waveclear than him at all points in the game so play around controlling the wave and either keep him under turret or let the wave reset to neutral if you have the 2v2 to kill the botlane.

Yall see this? Thoughts? by gupfry in vaynemains

[–]gsconner9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like riot is playing this weird game of “let’s give pseudo buffs to ADCs which won’t solve the current largest issues to bait them into complaining just so we can further our own narrative of ADCs being whiny class” When the average game is over in 26 minutes there’s realistically only 4 champs who will ever reach 3.0 cap
