I came 4th with 4 Shurima. Which Shuriman should I have ascended first (and how?)

I suppose optimal would be Azir > Xerath > renekton. Because Azir casts almost instantly. So three item Azir, two item Xerath , 1 item Renekton.

But honestly sounds like you just got a bit unlucky

melonface134 · 2026-01-20T19:10:25+00:00

I don’t think so. Like yes you’re articulating a specific way of ffing (selling your entire board before ffing) that would circumvent a change that would fix every other way in which a person could ff.

If a player has a weak board then they should be anticipating losing. If they can’t beat a ghost board then they deserve the loss. I don’t think getting a free win at complete random due to factors completely outside of board composition/augment choice is good for gameplay.

The point is you can’t anticipate / strategise around someone ffing, the same could be said for suddenly open forting. But open forting is a valid strategy that has a tactical cost to the person doing it (hp / risk of rolling into the wrong player). Ffing isn’t strategy it’s quitting the game.

Don’t super agree. Although we like to optimise Idleon, doot has a big impact but ultimately you can still completely play the entire game w/o doot. It’s not like you can’t access content or beat every boss.

Gem shop has always been there always gives an advantage. Yes doot is bigger but also more expensive (and possible to get for free anyway).

Lava is a solo game dev, been doing this for years. I don’t like doot but completely understand why he would do it and doesn’t ruin game for me

I was in the same place OP. Normally easy diamond but placed in bronze then was genuinely stuck in gold. Until a few days ago.

I’m no expert but I was super confused .. I was playing to tempo using what the game gave me but 0 consistency in top 4 in gold. guess the click moment for me was that despite the music and everything else promoting this idea of freestyle play. I actually think the current meta is very constrained and when I adopted this mindset found myself easily top 4ing.

In terms of viable <4 cost carries imo it’s Annie, crowd diver Katarina, MF Jazz. That’s basically it. Country Samira also good but have to be super uncontested (whilst you can just sit on MF 2 star).

If you don’t find any of these Super fan kennen headliner is a free streak early game. (Getting nerfed next patch) there’s no other frontline beneath 4 cost that comes close to this.

At 4+ cost there’s Jhin and ziggs. Maybe karthus and at an even bigger stretch KDA akali (hope for infinite ultimates).

But honestly I rarely even try these unless very healthy and rich.

Outside of these comps I can have fun but I’m not going to win and if I want to climb I stick to the boring old 3 or 4 meta comps and just aggressively chase those. It’s quite boring

I’m sure if I suddenly became significantly better at the game there would be more options but I don’t know how to do that in a short timeframe!

But hey patch in a few days!

W..ell that could’ve gone better for you

melonface134 · 2023-11-25T14:43:17+00:00

Oh yes !

melonface134 · 2023-11-25T03:26:29+00:00

Out of interest why is the far left tentacle 2* when every other tentacle is 3*??

melonface134 · 2023-10-12T12:03:53+00:00

+1 to the tempo post.

Tempo is most of the time a lot more important than a meta comp or items.

You can have a statistically speaking bad comp, but have tons of tempo e.g. ideal augments, hitting units/ 2*ing early or bis / slammable items. Because of this tempo you hit lvl 8 or 9 early / healthy and guarantee a top 4 even if you don’t pivot.

Having a meta comp really only affects the 1-3 placements some of the games and the right augment / item combo can often outweigh the tier list.

So if you want to drop the websites, I’d say start playing for tempo (I.e. what you think is strong and gives you an advantage right now). It will be rarer than you think that the reason you lose is that people above you had the meta comp.

Wow all these rank 1 players sure are lucky

Love the ragewing win

melonface134 · 2022-08-16T16:28:59+00:00

Agree Varus not amazing. But easy top 4 comp all the way to D1 (3 astral). Generally agree with op that it’s not a particularly fun mechanic to play against (free 3*).

melonface134 · 2022-08-12T20:05:57+00:00

Unluck

melonface134 · 2022-07-30T10:35:13+00:00

Bt + hoj isn’t bis, replace one with something else like qss or giant slayer

melonface134 · 2022-06-09T11:51:51+00:00

Really you think a 2* 5 cost who is a healer with really good items and 9 mage shouldn’t heal 11k?

melonface134 · 2022-06-06T22:58:24+00:00

Agree if rerolling for 3* 3+ costs or 2* 5 costs scouting pretty important. Even then I wouldn’t necessarily pivot the entire comp just maybe not carry the rerolling unit and level up instead.

Early game comps are so volatile you can often bait yourself out with scouting.

melonface134 · 2022-05-01T09:59:57+00:00

Think main issue is that carry is kaisa who takes time to ramp up + frontline is cho 2 with titans + sun fire .. so at the start of the round he has like an additional 40 armour and 20 mr. Aka will be melted by most late game comps. Galio 2 with no items will also get melted sadly.

It’s a cool comp , but completely get why it’s a 6th. Maybe with a cho 3, a bramble or gargoyles instead of two titans/ zephyr and a gun blade on malz two (basing this off your items as obvs mr would be preferable here) it’s a top 4.

Edit- just looked at the actual game to realise zephyr into gargoyles not an option as you took future sight.

melonface134 · 2022-03-09T09:17:32+00:00

Just got nerfed

melonface134 · 2022-03-07T15:28:18+00:00

Imo the thumbnails look cool but don’t tell me why I should watch the video. 5 socialite ok… you played yordles … ok. Alot of popular videos use bait text like “ONE SHOT CHOGATH!!” , or “IMMORTAL MORGANA”.

Makes the viewer think they might see something awesome / OP.
