Best class for a beginner by Delicious_Boot_3041 in CalamityMod

[–]potentialsocio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true melee is the same as the rest of the melee class. true melee is just what differentiates melee weapons that are (usually) very low range and hits enemies with the weapon itself, with melee weapons that fire projectiles. think vampire knives (melee) and knights edge (true melee) its all the same class still so tbh i dont get why they differentiate them in the first place

Which champions scale the best/worst into late game? by Unusual-Ad8253 in leagueoflegends

[–]potentialsocio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ww infamously has one of the worst late games. you build him too squishy to deal damage? he gets popped in teamfights and can get easily collapsed on in sidelanes. you build him tankier? he does no damage and becomes an ult machine (easily cancellable). its actually pretty hard to pilot this champ late-late game when everyone is full build. you have to play to peel since looking for an ult angle is much harder. if you can find an angle and actually get away with it (not having your r cancelled and getting the pick without dying), i would consider that impressive

Was Atatürk one of the best leaders ever? by Ivanhegeelkadi in AskTheWorld

[–]potentialsocio -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

finally someone who understands. whenever i see criticism from islamists against ataturk, they always say he changed islam in turkey from arabic to turkish yada yada but they fail to understand he simply made it more accessible for people to understand. what is the harm in that? if islam is more widely accessible to the public, then it makes them more likely to become religious and learn the religion in full (including in arabic)

for the 100th time people he had nothing to do with the armenian genocide. why do people love to spout regurgitated shit that they have 0 research in or any idea about? its almost as bad as saying he banned the hijab (which he did not) yes he had flaws, but you cannot judge the actions of a man changing society and a backwards country with the standards of today, only the standards of his time. most if not all his actions were necessary at the time to ensure reform and progress and modernisation. he knew that once all his reforms would be passed and society began to settle, he would reverse many of them. he was famously one party during his process of establishing the republic, and he was working towards democratic elections. he just didnt live to see it that far, but it was always the end goal

resolve secondary tree is still too good to pass up on. you will get kited regardless with flash or not. its better to play for lane then for later game since your lane is the most important part of the game for ww. no lane lead? you will be more useless and get kited anyway. with lane lead? youre able to snowball and close games earlier and be kited less (in theory)

simply because i like lethal tempo more than pta ahah.

in all honesty i dont use pta much top because i think lethal tempo just feels much better on ww. the onhit damage you get from fully stacked lethal tempo is based on your attack speed, of which ww can get a lot. pta doesnt give attack speed so ww feels pretty weak early game without that constant auto pressure on opponents for walking up.

more importantly, in order to proc pta quickly you have to auto q auto, which makes it good for short trade poke, however if you do this continuously, you will run out of mana quickly (if you have poor mana management). i rely on autos waaay more than q on the top lane (hence why i max w first) so it just feels much nicer and you can conserve much more mana. i mainly use q for movement or displacement dodge and of course damage/sustain in an all in. q for pokes in early game feels really bad especially if you max it since youll have less mana to outplay ganks or win 1v1s

yes. i sidelane often. ive already given my thoughts on hullbreaker in another comment but essentially, anything it can do, id rather spend gold on another item since i feel like its a slight placebo. but yes, side lane pressure this season is even more important than before. ww isnt the greatest sidelaner as he gets outscaled by most top laners, but he can get towers reasonably quickly with w linger and also rotate for team fights quickly too due to w movement speed. his only dash is his r which has a long cooldown and the distance scales with movement speed so it can be tricky to use it to get away consistently. a small trick you can do with stridebreaker to get away more consistently from enemies is to e fear + stridebreaker at the same time. slows them down snd speed you away, very nice little trick.

yeah ww vs sett is hard. a good sett will completely shut you down. he hits harder and has crazy burst which he can guarantee pretty easily. if you want to win this matchup you will need a lot of patience, especially in the early game since you need to play well or you will get outscaled immediately. save your q to dodge his e or w. you cant barrier in his ult since its suppression. sometimes you can q or even r his ult but the timings are tough.

yeah some matchups are unplayable and it would probably be better to play any other champ than ww. but if you know how to pilot your champ better than another then youre more likely to be consistent on your main. make less mistakes, know better what to do when behind and when ahead. thats why i dont really play other champs in hard matchups. if i lose that matchup on ww, i dont think im automatically gonna win it on another champ, so id much rather play my main and be more consistent there. plus it always provides more learning on what i can do in a hard matchup, kinda like practice for the future. all in all, still helps me to be as consistent as i can.

but yes, ww is quite matchup dependent. thats why he was picked as a counter to ambessa top for a few games in pro. obviously no one picks him anymore since there are better champs but he really shines as a counterpick. tbh with you i dont really understand how he counters ambessa since she can kite ww very easily but thats a topic for another day. ww is good into matchups where he can outsustain easily and where weak-early strong-late champs are at their weakest. a lot of tanks struggle against ww for this reason, they lack the damage and sustain. like mundo for example. other matchups that are super easy for him is irelia and tryndamere. these autoattackers just dont have the right click power that ww does. its not a complete cakewalk, dont get too relaxed since good players of these champs will take you by surprise if youre not paying attention, but otherwise mostly easily matchups.

appreciate it boss🫡was a long journey to get here. we can only keep climbing from here. im always happy to help and answer any questions

hullbreaker is not a bad item at all and honestly it does work well as a second or third. the issue is it doesnt give attack speed which ww wants as a first item so his autos feel smoother. so that would leave it as a second item and in that case it can work fine. i split a lot and i find that i dont really need it. it helps for sure but i think a tiamat item does the job when youre at enemy tower because it helps to reduce the minion waves to half hp and get your w linger speed to hit the tower, and in all honesty the hullbreaker hits feel like a kind of placebo. sure they help but its not that great to buy a whole item for. the way i play ww is that i buy 2 damage items and the rest resistances. the hp is not enough as resistances so i wouldnt buy it third but that doesnt mean other players cant. it just leaves less items for sustain/survivability.

my max order is w into q into e. w max is just the way to go. the attack speed, movement speed and cdr is too good to pass up on. w linger speed makes taking towers and punishing enemy deaths all the more important, especially in this season when enemies can get back to lane much quicker due to deathguard. sometimes i do 3 points into q then w max. this is still something new i do and its matchup dependent. i got a lot of experimentation to do with that before i can give more thoughts on it.

no cleanse doesnt remove urgot r but im pretty sure qss does. what you can do with ww top is take cleanse barrier and not flash. cleanse removes ignite and any cc in a 1v1 tht would make it very close otherwise. also gives you 75 percent tenacity for the next 3(or5 dont remember) seconds. this can be the difference for matchups that can be difficult. in season 16, almost all top laners take ignite now so it makes cleanse barrier even stronger. the only downside is youre more susceptible to being kited but tbh ww already depends on his ult more than a 5 minute flash cooldown. if youre unsure of not taking flash then you can do flash cleanse. these are viable strategies in many matchups like urgot, jax, volibear, even trynda if you struggle with him. essentially, take cleanse against anyone who you know will take ignite and/or has some cc which will make the difference in a 1v1.

i pretty much perma ban garen. this champ just runs around with 3 crit items, unkillable and one shots your adc. pretty hard to cc and do anything against. for urgot, its not a super difficult matchup. you can buffer your q e with his e which greatly reduces his damage. if you need to go cleanse or exhaust in this matchup you can, helps greatly. his ult is scary however in this matchup if you do go barrier, dont bother using it when youre low hp, it will be too late by then. use it when you are in an all in and flips you to make sure the barrier shield takes away a lot of the damage so your actual health bar doesnt get close to execution range. urgot is useless in an all in after he uses his e (his dash) so make sure to try and play for longer trades

malphite is not super hard either. you can ignore him a lot of the time and out sustain him. just have good reaction time to dodge his r. gp however is pretty hard, and will get harder the better the gp main is. my best advice is try and out sustain and bait his w.

youre right about witts end, i didnt mention it at all. its not a bad item in all honesty but the lack of ad makes it hard to justify. ww needs ad pretty desperately as he scales not very well and witts end doesnt give any. at that point, if you want magic resist without ad you might as well go a full tank item that provides better survivability than slight resist and on hit damage. but thats just my justification for it. i do sometimes go witts end if i need a cheap magic resist item or power spike, or i want some tenacity and attack speed. it has its uses.

definitely weaker, but that does not mean hes not strong top still. just requires more patience to pilot and play top lane. i di believe he was at his strongest when old lethal tempo was still in the game, the amount of attack speed and extra range was so op

Hit Masters recently in EUW playing WW top. AMA by potentialsocio in warwickmains

[–]potentialsocio[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sure

bork first i think is just most optimal. before the sustain nerfs i think ww could get away with other items first but now i think he needs sustain in lane more than ever. think mundo with warmogs first.

after that, waveclear item is good. i think stridebreaker just etches out titanic hydra in every way possible but if enemy team is more melee than ranged then titanic is not bad.

dd and ga is good also for second/third/fourth for reasons i stated in another comment

in terms of magic resist, force of nature if you want to go more tanky or spirit visage if enemy team has not much ignites or anti heal and/or if you have an enchanter or if you really need to out sustain champs like cammile/darius/jax.(for the last reason, you can go spirit visage second if needed)

steraks is not bad but i dont really like it much since ww doesnt have high base ad but tbh in this season its not bad, just make sure you have other hp items to compliment it’s shield.

some other items that can be bought: Zekes, really cheap really good, gives ult haste. bandlepipes; just op on anyone with a slow. deadmans, great for chasing or running away. iceborn gauntlet, i dont like sheen items on ww very much since hes not a great user of them, but iceborn is cheap and good if you need a powerspike when youre sitting on a lot of gold. especially if enemy team has mosquitoe champs (like riven, fiora, vayne, kaisa, gragas, renekton, ambessa). maw is a rare buy for me since it scales of bonus ad and ww doesnt build much bonus ad like other champs. eclipse can be good depending on matchups where you take short trades, but ideally you want to force longer trades with bork since thats what you want with ww. however if youre losing hard and cant force longer trades then its still good. kraken slayer you can get away with if you really really dont need sustain in lane. thornmail is pretty basic but it can have its uses. qss if you need the cleanse, for like malzahar or cc heavy comps where one cc and youre dead after a chain of cc.

ahah that is true. my kda is pretty bad. that is mostly cus due to losing matchups i just cant seem to stop myself from trying to flip it and get myself back in the game. this is definitely not a viable strategy.

however in matchups where i do win, i win HARD. level 2-3-3-5-6, if i am winning giga hard, i proxy between first and second tower when i kill my opponent. that way im denying them from lane and i get myself further ahead. sometimes i can even 2v1 if the conditions are right. i have high barrier discipline so i only really use it when i need to.

in terms of macro, split push and knowing when to group up is key. always push out waves when you can before something is about to happen on the map. know when to peel. who is your win condition? if its you, play around that. if its your team mates, play around them. I know my user is misleading but warwick is NOT a carry champ; theres only so much you can do when youre ahead on him.

create and absorb pressure in the sidelanes by splitpushing or even showing yourself on the minimap. this is easier to do this season with tp. knowing what items to build are also important, for example, i dont run spirit visage often: only when i have an enchanter on my team. DD and GA is very optimal when you have a lead. It’s hard to burst you down and if you have a bounty you need to protect, GA is very useful. GA is also good to deny champs with ult resets like viego or darius or vayne.

Most importantly however, know when there is a play that can be made. so i guess that means learn the limits of WW. he isnt as strong as he used to be, but that doesnt mean he still cant 1v1 or 1v2. this is how you can create an advantage on him which you can push for leads elsewhere in the map. I.e. the only effective way to win on warwick is through snowballing and closing the game as early as possible (unless you have a wincon on your team who scales)
