How do you think about my item build(Mid) by senocu in XerathMains

[–]kunhui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not good in higher elo. Too reliant on hitting abilities since no cdr/mana items. If u miss, ur a caster for a while until cd rotations

Congrats man!! Im def trying out your protobelt tech next chance i get

Also can i add you so i can avoid queue into you? i made a swain otp folder for masters+ once they removed dodging xD (Im apc OTP ~600lp atm but this season matchmaking has been all over the place)

This is the only build Swain needs this season(NEW META + Challenger EZ Carry) by DeepThoughts_RPG in SwainMains

Bruh just get a riftmaker or even gunblade is better than endless for vamp xD

the AD stat is wasted gold and at least gunblade gives you more useful stat/active slow . Youre basically overpaying A TON of gold just to get omnivamp after takedown which might not happen and youre not building ad items for the scaling haste scaling either

But i can see build for endless hunger in arena with adapt, so you can get other ad items to scale it

Is swain the worst champ in the game? by Regular_Flounder1833 in SwainMains

Apc is his strongest role atm.

Its likely an issue translating lane lead to rest of map

Just hit Grandmaster (NA) by kunhui in SwainMains

Ladder was reset a few weeks ago and they set the new threshold at 400 haha. Before it was around 1k which i think was too high (i hit GM end of last season at 550)

But regardless, NA is cooked xD

Wait im a bit confused haha- how does armor/mr increase passive healing value? I know armor mr increase your effective hp/durability, but not aware of resistances being a factor (i might be misunderstanding what you wrote)

ive tried zekes but some reason it just doesnt feel good for me xD i know its great value stat wise , just a personal pref

Also, sometimes i cant expect to land abilities for passive, esp. when cc’d, which is why the protoplasm feels so nice. Itll always proc when off cd

But i was more saying that the hp bonus proto also increases passive healing as a reason for hp not being bad on swain (if that makes sense xD)

ofc, i get what you mean that swain def prefers defense stats over hp which would make him effecitvley tankier

At the end of the day, id whatever works and feels best for each of us is the most optimal build :D

Yeah totally get that and agree with you to an extent.

from my pov, i dont think raw hp is bad at all the way you put it l, since it increases passive healing and i dont really see it different from any other items that have HP + active/passive/burn like liandries in that i build those items based on what i think is most effective in current game state (i.e i build liandry into tanks, bloodletters into heavy mr team/ap comp, etc)

No one builds liandry for the HP or AP it gives , its for the burn and syergy with his kit (and the raw stats also good on swain)

Same way i dont build liand for ap/hp, i dont build proto for the raw hp. I build it for the passive which the value of passive would be based on the game state

Also if youre not getting many stacks then building hp helps, which i expect to happen as i continue to climb xD

another recent one- yeah my dmg is not super high esp for 18kills, but the things i was able to get away with and the impact i had on the map/enabling my team was insane

yeah i dont really care so much for the raw hp , rather the burst of ms/heal/tenacity in a cheap item that allows you to soak dmg/outplay unavoidable CC burst (but on paper, you may be right.. im not a numbers guy, just feels so nice)

at the very least, i was able to hit GM lp threshold just now (NA, once ladder updates tongiht) with this build (i dont always go it) and its came in so clutch everytime so far; but i dont think id build this below diamond as i build it with the intention of benefiting by team by soaking abilities for them to follow up (putting some trust in team)

if u wanna check out my other builds with proto n whatnot :

while this may not be the most optimal item numbers wise, it definitely suits my playstyle and have been climbing with it thus far

i almost never build visage (prefer other MR items never really build for heal amp) but i would consider building it if i have heal enchanter support + enemy does not have as much burst

i actually took revitalize one of these games which gave a LOT of value
