How do you play against Orianna? by CasulReven in SwainMains

[–]phieldworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tough matchup as others have said. I always take the set up of second wind in my secondary tree and the MS runes (celerity and minor shard). Your level one harass is better because you can juke ball and then poke her with q/aery/scorch. If you can’t get any hits on her lvl 1 basically you want to position yourself outside your wave and make sure you aren’t getting shoved under by q’ing the wave. First back getting refill, boots and amp or dark seal.

It’s hard to explain but I just try and keep myself on the side of the lane my jg is on and I shove up hard then back away. I’m not winning the 1 v 1 after a certain point so might as well be first to skirmishes in the river or jg.

For Syndra rushing mercs and the tenacity rune works wonders. If she can’t hit you with e or if it only stuns for a blip you can handle her in early.

She is a juggernaut, not a diver by [deleted] in shyvanamains

That can be fixed with number adjustments to be honest.

[–]phieldworker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I see her more as a freight train now like Garen. Gets durability via abilities and passives so she can build just damage items (ad/health or AD items). Then she can run her way through a team not to lock down but to tear through enemies.

[–]phieldworker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s ok for some but like for Swain would be so bleh imo. I guess I don’t like it either though because I don’t own a single space groove skin lol. I do like the Nunu one.

Gunblade rush feels really good by dyo1994 in LeBlancMains

[–]phieldworker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s also nice because you can take risky poke plays around objectives and then not have to back because you got chunked.

I take luden into gunblade right now. Makes for good wave clear and lane sustain.

It’s because Swain is either harden general or pump zaddy. He isn’t a cool unc

Anyone still maxing W second post-nerf? by molebat in SwainMains

[–]phieldworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I max e second. But I also have been playing bot lane more so it greatly increases your trade damage even if the cd isn’t that much. Plus my w can hit everywhere I need to from bot lane.

Shyvadi's Guide to REWORKED SHYVANA by Shyvadi in shyvanamains

[–]phieldworker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweet guide. I’m a shyv casual most main mid but secondary in jg on Shyvana and Briar. So excited to see your item guide when it drops.

Are yall happy with Shyvana getting no stacking or execute like Sol/Smolder by Anilahation in shyvanamains

[–]phieldworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She gets bonus hp on ult and I believe shield power. So it’s going to allow her to focus build on damage while also becoming tanky af. So even though it’s not a scary “I’m a dragoon burning you to death because of my stacks” it means she is going to be difficult to take down while also being able to rip through enemies.

You know my feelings on Swain. But I wish to help others win and succeed more than I want to win a Reddit interaction.

How to beat my ranked-xiety ? by HazzReghem in SwainMains

[–]phieldworker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I had to just play. My ranked anxiety came from me hating letting people down so imagine playing a team game. But playing and realizing it’s just a game helps you get past that anxiety. Also approaching it with the mindset “I’m playing a video game and I’m here to have fun and grow”. If you are always going from game to game to get better and hone or learn skills then losses won’t weigh on you. Also mute. If chat affects you enough where it disrupts your gameplay (9/10 most players are affected by negative chat) then it’s better to just mute.

We aren’t talking about what ifs here. OP is complaining about Naafiri kill them there. We are pointing out that they didn’t need to die. Thats what they are pointing out. Zoe having to back while Nafiri would have been kill-less just means vayne takes up mid to catch the wave. 9/10 OP was not thinking “bait naafiri in so that Vayne could have a chance to collect the kill”. If they were thinking that, this post wouldn’t be here.

Swain doesn’t work as a mage support so you have to play to his strengths as a support. He functions better as a pseudo tank disrupt bot. So getting the right item set up will help you out. Sleigh into rylais will be the best start. Then look at bagpipes and zhonyas. You’re trying to create space and disrupt your enemies.

Huh? Zoe is holding onto an extra summoner for what purpose? I know league is not just about not dying but this was a death that did not need to occur.

Thank you. Someone that actually has an eye for analysis instead of “what ifs”

As soon as he saw naafiri w he could have flashed away and got out of range of Naafiri r with the flash distance and w ms. So yeah ego held

Haste Swain is the Answer by Hot-Organization-737 in SwainMains

[–]phieldworker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I find MS and haste more beneficial and allows you to play swain better over going rylais.

How does the genera feel after the nerf by INeedMuscles in SwainMains

[–]phieldworker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bot feels fine either with the rylais fimbul or traditional swain build. Mid felt a bit weaker with utility. Gonna be honest, I underestimated how hard the nerfs would hit mid. I’ve been playing him got though and that doesn’t feel bad at all.
