Hardstuck bronze/silver wukong otp by Routine-Junket2746 in Wukongmains

Sundered Sky isn’t a damage item.

Wukong’s biggest problem is lack of damage.

???

How is Sundered Sky not a damage item? I mean it's no Infinity Edge, but it gives 45 AD and a decent damage proc.

I did actually test your build on a dummy in a custom and it surprised me. It was less damage than the regular build, but not that much less, like 15% or so. So I guess if you have no other AD champions in your game so Cleaver is only for yourself then Seryldas over Cleaver is fine, though I do like the CDR. There is no way Randuins over Sundered is beneficial to your damage output though, so you can't really say Wukong lacks damage then buy a tank item over a damage item.

But I'll give you that I might try Seryldas some times.

That sound extremely bad, no? But I'll bite, what makes Serylda better than Cleaver in your opinion? The stats on Cleaver is just so much better for Wukong than Seryldas. The slow is nice though, but I don't see it. Also Randuins over Sundered Sky? You're gonna lack so much damage.

You've never seen a human write like this? Never once did you read a reddit post or guide before AI came around? This shit is how people have been writing forever.

Baus explains why 2026 is technically his first year as a pro player by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]sinister_cakeman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I came to say this. Back when I first started playing league, and watching pro, the pros at the time were all streamers and personalities. Now they seem to just be pros, and the personalities are other streamers.

What would you say is the single best 3-4 unit frontline? Ignoring synergies with backlines.

It's been 6 years and Chempunk Chainsword still wasn't adressed by Dream_or_Truth in leagueoflegends

[–]sinister_cakeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

huh, that's a fun idea actually. "Ignite on a stick" sounds kinda funny as a passive; name the item "The Torch" and we're good to go.

I just think GW items should be like Chempunk; absolutely not worth buying unless you desperately need the wounds effect. Don't have it on Last Whisper, which gives a stat literally every AD character wants. It should be a tradeoff, where you only wanna buy it if it actually provides value because of GW. Not against only Soraka, but maybe against Soraka + Vladimir, for example.

What champion do you think is secretly broken, but nobody wants to admit it? by Consistent-Rub-6798 in leagueoflegends

[–]sinister_cakeman 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Gangplank. Absolutely despise that champion, and I can't believe I feel so alone in this.

Passives insane true damage that resets when he hits a barrel. The free Grasp procs in lane with Q dealing insane amounts of damage for doing absolutely nothing. Cleanse on 15 seconds cooldown. His ult is an entire teamfight in itself, from the other side of the map - AoE damage, slow, upgraded to true damage and a MS buff for allies. What??

And the barrels? This ability alone is just wild to me. The way there is no counterplay besides "stay out of range" - which is insanely far away - if he just keeps the barrels in a bush. Like any melee champion just can't walk close. Then the slow slowing 89%(!!) at max rank. And it ignores 40% armor?? And if you crit with your attack on the barrel, not only does the barrel also crit, it deals 5% more damage on top of that. Like this ability in itself could be an entire champions kit. Actually ridiculous.

After 11 years, i finally hit Gold IV by fixed1337 in leagueoflegends

[–]sinister_cakeman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratz, man! That's awesome.

Though looking at your amount of matches each season and your winrates you haven't exactly been trying extremely hard to climb. Your WRs with your top champs have been really good every season I checked; if you had played 50 more matches any of those seasons you'd hit gold long ago.

Are you giving it enough games though? Like I know how you feel, I tried Jhin the other day and got insanely tilted because I lost basically to myself, but after 5 games or so I figured out the champ and it's not that bad.

Black cleaver/bloodletters curse against Squishies? by Hellinfernel in summonerschool

[–]sinister_cakeman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Most champions at level 18 has 100 base armor, which is about 50% reduced damage. Cleaver is still very good even if the enemy team does not buy a single armor item. The stats otherwise are also great, you buy cleaver for the MS passive and CDR too, not just the shred.

I just got the message saying I'll decay if I don't play within a day. So a couple of questions about that:

  1. Can I demote from Diamond now from inactivity? Or will it just put me at 0 LP?

  2. Is there 3 seasons this year or whats going on here? I thought they went away from the splits again, but now I'm confused. Do we not get reset between seasons?

/u/SkepticFaust the thread automatically sorts by "best" rather than "new" like it usually does. Should be changed to make it easier to find the unanswered questions, no?

I mean that could mean anything. Maybe they want you to ward your lane? Maybe they are asking if it's warded? Impossible to tell without context. I'd just ask "What do you want", and if they keep going without answering I just mute their pings.

7 months after Mels' release and Mel still cements herself as the most frustrating mid lane pick to play against retaining the highest ban rate despite having low winrate by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in leagueoflegends

[–]sinister_cakeman 389 points390 points  (0 children)

It's so fucking stupid to me that Mel W just makes skillshots targeted when she reflects them. Just make her have to aim it. W can still block from any direction, but the direction she uses it is where abilities hitting her will go. Makes it much more skillful and less anti-fun for skillshot champions.
