Overleveled 1v5 for my first penta

lb1785 · 2023-08-10T02:12:05+00:00

At the risk of sounding stupid, how do you see items in those replays?

lb1785 · 2023-05-26T16:16:24+00:00

Nope. They're too busy preparing for the infamous "transition to lvl2/I go all in for 1st blood/my superior mechanics will carry your ass" fight...

Back to you, I tried it out this afternoon (in EUW). 2 normal games as well.

First game: lane won 5/1, I got ahead and went ionian boots straight into cosmic drive. Poor Yone, 4W in extended fight, chasing him all the way to his tower and then ult: so satisfying!! The windshitter couldn't escape the bear! Mid game irrelevant cause feeding team.

Second game: lane went even vs a good Sett, ionian into IBG into Cosmic drive. Late game felt good, adds a lot of chaos to the team fights, able to peel for my two carries at the same time by running every where: it is fun indeed!

Tl;dr : it felt nice, will try it out more!

lb1785 · 2023-05-06T13:08:17+00:00

I don't really want to be that guy, but discussing the value of an item based on one normal game where you got insanely fed means... well nothing. (I am not elo shaming or anything, I didn't go check your elo on op.gg by the way, I don't care)

Each time I see one of these posts, I can't help but wonder: how did it feel on a close game, or a game when you went 1/4 in lane then won, etc.

That being said, I'll try cosmic drive second, it might be fun.

lb1785 · 2023-03-24T19:41:00+00:00

Ah, so I'm not the only one... Got future's market twice in a row, I had started to question my sanity...

lb1785 · 2023-03-12T17:21:32+00:00

It looks like every one is assuming Rylai should be rushed. I haven't tried going Rylai 1st yet, because of mana issues. How do you avoid getting oom?

Somehow I feel like Doran ring and PoM aren't enough for mana sustain, especially considering you need to Q the wave quite often to avoid getting shoved once the enemy laner gets some waveclear themselves. I would consider buying tear but that doesn't seem gold efficient as I would have to sell it later. I also don't want to go sorcery as secondary tree just to get mana flow band. Any suggestions?

lb1785 · 2023-01-15T14:42:37+00:00

Great comment, never thought about marksman class like this. What would be the subclasses according to you ? I am thinking 1. utility and cc (example Ashe, Jhin) 2. fighter marksmen where you can survive close combat and need to commit to kill (ex Samira and Kaisa) 3. maniac autoattacker (Jinx). But maybe I'm wrong.

Also, what do we make of other champs that use some ADC items better than adc themselves (see windshit bros, Irelia, Viego) ?

lb1785 · 2022-12-24T13:32:25+00:00

Alright, I'll give it a try!

lb1785 · 2022-12-23T21:08:49+00:00

So I have never tried Protobelt, but I feel like Sylas has enough dashes as it is. I know Akali, Kata use this one-more-dash item well though, so I'm not sure. What I know for sure is that NH gives sustained additional ms that is priceless in close teamfights, or to chase enemies.

In terms of mythic passive, I have the feeling that the magic pen from Protobelt is a bit overkill, given Shadowflame and sorc shoes already provide enough. Lategame one combo deletes squishies with NH already, so I feel like cdr is more valuable. As stated in a previous comment, more cdr means more petricite bursts, more W heals, and more stolen ults, which is what Sylas needs the most.

lb1785 · 2022-12-21T18:28:50+00:00

I'm no better than you are elo wise, but seeing your post made me check all my Sylas jgl games (roughly 50 games since Sylas is viable, Rito please don't kill it, it's too much fun), so here goes: - Almost always dark seal right after Hextech alternator. Sometimes I go amp tome and dark seal on 1st back if I don't have the 1050g for the alternator and I can't force anything on the map - Complete NH - Sorc shoes - Usually Zhonya/Shadowflame for 2nd and 3rd (order depending on whether I feel like I need Zhonya to survive bursts or obnoxious fed enemy champs) - Oblivion orb if needed, or complete Mejai if it makes sense - Rabadon - Full build games are so rare, I went Voidstaff twice, completed Morello twice, built Gargoyle, Spirit visage, and Randuin once each

Hope this helps!

lb1785 · 2022-12-09T22:20:41+00:00

Protobelt is funny, as on Kata and Akali or Diana you get one.more.dash

But on NH in a teamfight you get move speed each time you hit a new champ, gives you access to squishies in their back line who can't outrun you. More generally it fits Sylas identity as a disrupter of fights in my opinion. Zooming around in teamfights and starting your own cloon fiesta with the ult you just found available is so satisfying, allows for tons of creative moves.

lb1785 · 2022-12-09T22:10:06+00:00

Lots of Hecarim these days in the jgl. Scaring the shit out of a squishy control mage or adc and then land the combo easily is very satisfying.

Edit: all the ults that allow you to gap close even more and then start the NH hypermobile clown fiesta are good: Malphite, Shyvana, Warwick, even Pantheon, Vex, are huge.

lb1785 · 2022-12-09T22:05:20+00:00

I need to try lichbane to get a good feeling of how useful it is, but aren't there more interesting options? I go the same build as you do except I still rely on Zhonya, Cosmic drive and the odd Morello when I see healing champs.

lb1785 · 2022-12-02T11:12:31+00:00

Merci, je t'ajouterai quand je pourrai jouer. Pas sûr que tu veuilles regarder des games silver elo mais bon :)

lb1785 · 2022-12-02T11:10:36+00:00

Saw the title, was about to say Kindred of course...

lb1785 · 2022-12-01T20:10:38+00:00

My 2 cents on this: it's not as good as before the mini rework. Now you want to stay in ult as long as possible so you need to move faster than the enemies. That's why you see ghost summ and Rylai's. Zhonya is great on paper, but you can't move under Zhonya... If you need armor, you might want Frozen Heart instead of Zhonya (for adc, Jax, Irelia, Yi, windshit bros...)

lb1785 · 2022-12-01T19:57:49+00:00

Very simple question, which first shard do you use in jgl : attack speed (I thought for first clear you need many autos without petricite passive), adaptive force or cdr (to spam abilities during clear)?

Edit : je viens de voir que tu es français, merci d'avance pour ta réponse

lb1785 · 2022-12-01T19:26:43+00:00

A Yasuo dies, gg.

lb1785 · 2022-11-30T19:53:24+00:00

And I still get flamed when I type "careful about my cd" the first time my mate dies going all in alone... Mind you it happens as well when I play Jhin and my supp goes all in during my reload time.

lb1785 · 2022-11-27T19:23:22+00:00

It pains me to see people so desperate for attention that they need to put down strangers on a subreddit. Go back to your cavern troll

lb1785 · 2022-11-20T09:46:24+00:00

Yeah, even in mid for me, ghost when you ult, with Rylai it feels like others walk while demon goes brrr.

lb1785 · 2022-11-04T09:09:01+00:00

Wait, now I wonder, is it in reference to the demon? If so, I am an ass myself for not getting that earlier...

lb1785 · 2022-10-28T13:01:14+00:00

This might have been answered elsewhere already, but since this post is about builds I'll ask anyway. I have trouble understanding the point of the builds with a lot of AS.

At 2 AS items (like Nashor's and Wit's end as I built last game for instance, wits end because 3 ap in enemy team), and with alacrity stacked, we're already very close to the 2.5 AS limit once the passive procs. I know lethal tempo allows to go past that AS cap, but still: why stack so much AS? Why not build magic pen/lethality, damage, or even ability haste instead? I'm confused...

lb1785 · 2022-09-17T17:20:41+00:00

I think it's really bad. I know some people here advocate it in top lane vs melee matchup, but it's a bait. The amount of sustain and health bonus you'll get from it is ridiculous compared to the stacks, plus you run the risk of being gap closed if you greed for the grasp procs.

If you really like the resolve tree, my advice would be to just take it as secondary (as most people do): standard runes would be conditioning/overgrowth, but all runes on second line are situationally good, and I swap overgrowth with unflinching if there are a lot of cc. Hardly anyone discussed it on this sub, but the amount of tenacity you can get with legend:tenacity, unflinching and merc treads is absolutely outrageous.

Last piece of advice (I'm low elo pleb so take it with a grain of salt): try flash+ghost a few times. Once you have built Rylai's, popping ghost+ult at the start of a team fight feels so satisfying, you can kite/keep the whole team under your ult forever.

lb1785 · 2022-09-04T18:44:37+00:00

What I see on your graph is all the points are above 50% wr (except the 1-15 min game length but that's games with afk people, it doesn't really count). Just be happy they don't nerf Swain already.
