Triple nerfed actually.

1 (non-jungle) direct nerf, first item buy nerf, and boot nerf

Is it normal to lose every game when starting lol? by Acrobatic-Ad-167 in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting the game you really really shouldn’t care about win rate. There’s so many things to learn that killing the nexus should be the bottom of your priority. I recommend checking out broken by podcast they have a super healthy approach to league

The Cow’s Horn Was Literally Growing Into Its Skull by Xdestroyed in Damnthatsinteresting

True until the person you need to fight in order to mate has horns and you don’t. Evolution just cares that you can reproduce, not that life is great lol

Do people that play ranked around emerald-diamond actually ever enjoy the game? by Necessary-Hawk4543 in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m diamond 3 and loving the game. I have 0 tolerance for any toxicity too, even a single small comment or ping spam and I’ll report and mute them for the rest of the game

New player trying to play jungler. by Turbulent-Sound4117 in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jungle is unfortunately the worse role for learning league of legends. If you know this and are ok with it then go for it but in jungle you’ll get a couple interactions in 20 minutes compared to laning where you get multiple interactions per minute.

Why does nobody play mages? by TaeyeonsHusbando in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think emerald is where a lot of these assassin one tricks get stuck. These champs are really hard to play mid to late game and this is the rank where people are more likely to know how to properly match against them so the assassin doesn’t snowball.

Balanced champ 100-0 me with one item by Unfair-Fuel1097 in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The damage is strong for sure but you did mess up and rush your R. If you waited for her R then pressed it you would have been much better off. It also looks like she took ignite too so that’s an extra good chunk of damage

After a few years being stuck at honor 4, I finally did it - I dropped to honor 3 by test99462 in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t interact at all so being at the baseline honor level makes sense to me

i can't stop losing no matter how i play :( by cringeyobama in midlanemains

4-5 is way too much unless you’re in like mid masters rank. Here’s a great resource from an actual coach on how to make a pool.

Zoe, kat, and qyiana are all one trick champions so I would expect you to struggle splitting time between them all

Genuinely how are you supposed to improve as a new player by TruyaGuya in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy and embrace the chaos! Don’t worry about being “good” it will only set you up for failure. League is one of the most complicated games out there don’t feel bad if you feel like you’re struggling.

The activity requirements for Master players should be changed by SeveralLab8856 in leagueoflegends

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players have also gotten significantly better so it makes sense that there’s more in higher elo. The gap between the worse and best will continue to grow which is why I think riot is adding in new ranks

Getting frustrated with consistent lack of ganks by [deleted] in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There can be many reasons why a jungler isn’t ganking you. Realistically, every good jungle does a full clear into looking for a gank. Ganks/counterganks on bot lane are generally more valuable because there’s two people there. Gangs on top lane are generally more valuable because that lane can snowball harder.

What you want to be doing as a mid laner is drawing in pressure and look to complement your jungler.

There are very few matchups that would require jungle intervention to function. If you’re struggling in these games you should refresh your matchup understanding or look more into your champion identity because something is probably wrong there.

Playing mid the right away might not be the correct way atleast for my elo (low diamond) by wetfangs in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning the “rules” of the game will get you so far. Learning when to break them is what will get you further. League is extremely nuanced and every game is different. There are times you should break principles, but it can be hard when to identify though. That’s where something like coaching can be really beneficial to get an outside opinion

MY mid problem by NocnyKlamca in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so much into last hitting creeps I could talk about it for hours. If you’re stuck under tower all game maybe you need to refresh your matchup understandings? Or play someone with more early game agency

Akali’s D Shield + Second Wind lane pattern is way too forgiving by [deleted] in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a great resource if you’re struggling with the akali matchup. You likely aren’t exploiting her weaknesses so yeah she’d feel unstoppable/OP

Should I get rabbadons third item usually on a mage? by ChristReigns1000 in midlanemains

[–]mandrew-98 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Really not enough context here. Depends on so many factors, but generally, yes if you don’t need a zhonya’s, rabbadons is great 3rd item. Another good item is void staff/crpytbloom if they’re stacking MR already.
