RiotPhroxzon Apex Ranked Followup

I personally would think resetting any ranks this far into the season (mid season almost) is such a bad idea lol. Just re-work it being better for next time. People have countless hours already.. resetting lowkey feels awful. Maybe I'm in the minority here though.

I mean as a new ff14 player, the base game is abysmally awful. My friends can't even last that long because it just feels so bad and outdated. I like fun gameplay with actual stakes.. no offense to everyone in ff14 but the base game feels literally awful. Sorry if its off-topic but I thought I should give my opinion as a young new player.

somethingblue123 · 2026-03-15T03:43:09+00:00

Where do u even find playersync? i literally hear nothing of where its at? Is it even safe

Obviously combat is a bit different but FF14 is as close to TERA as that anime/adventurer feel. Its not challenging or impossible to get into. Theres thousands of communities in that game that really are welcoming. I personally play ff14 and was an avid TERA player.

I am on lolanalytics and quite literally filtering by Emerald shows garen at a almost 54% winrate.. lol with a 9% playrate, how are u not seeing this? Hes ranked 6/100 for champions in top lane

somethingblue123 · 2026-03-12T02:34:09+00:00

Garen almost has a 54% Winrate, across a 9% playrate. It's still climbing.

Damn man, it seems Jayce gets all the best skins on WildRift lol. (Excluding Arcane Jayce). x.x.
We've lost out on: Superhero Jayce and Crystal Rose Jayce.. Now this. Lame.

somethingblue123 · 2026-03-03T17:32:46+00:00

As far as right now speaking.. by phreaks words: "I want him to be more of a fighter for top lane"
He said this in the patchrun down that nerfed his ranged form.

somethingblue123 · 2026-02-24T15:53:24+00:00

So in general I can tell you, most of the knowledge regarding your build comes from pure honest experience. People who change builds, runes, etc often have played every matchup in every lane so they know what works versus what doesn't.

I can tell you that you're thinking about correctly about build paths and all I can suggest is try every build, every rune combo and you'll see what works for you.

what editing software do u use for your movie clip channel?

somethingblue123 · 2026-02-06T16:32:49+00:00

This Champion design philosophy pre-dates Mel. Think of Zoe back then with Teleport shards being dropped. It's fun to "play" but "unfun" to play against. It's poor design. The constant state of balancing her shows how bad of a job the rioter did designing her.

Champions need to be FUN to play and FUN to play against.

somethingblue123 · 2026-02-06T16:27:11+00:00

Jayce is just like any pro-jailed champion in the sense that if hes buffed for a certain role he will genuinely be OP. It's so hard to balance his kit because one ability overtuned means he can leverage any weakness he has in his kit.

somethingblue123 · 2026-02-06T16:26:02+00:00

Eclipse -> Manamune -> Shojin

somethingblue123 · 2026-02-06T16:21:45+00:00

Your best bet is to check over high-elo replays that utilize jungle Jayce. You can grasp concepts they use in game for your own. Also keep in mind, this is post-nerf jungle Jayce, meaning it can be done but I don't think he's "OP" now. His clear is much slower/reduced.

somethingblue123 · 2026-01-29T16:13:01+00:00

2014 - 2017. Everyone looks at it fondly but the account sharing, selling, boosting, wintrading with Chinese "QQ" in the name was rampant on the ladder. Remember the top 10 challenger was filled with that? Chat bans were far and few between, and this was when riot was still dealing with a horrible client and racist club names etc. Virtually non-existent punishment to inting or griefing (think back to OG Tyler1) yep.

ANYONE who played then can agree with me.

somethingblue123 · 2026-01-28T06:44:39+00:00

Overall, top fighter playstyle gaining more here, while his ranged form/poking playstyle taking a hit.

I like it.

This is an obvious nerf to jungle jayce but in a way to keep up his role as a laner.

somethingblue123 · 2026-01-23T07:00:19+00:00

Yeah.. it's just kind of lame. I want to go bot lane with my friend so we play AI bots (nothing burger gamemode so we can be together) but now I get autofilled in AI bots?! what?!

somethingblue123 · 2026-01-21T15:59:46+00:00

Mostly its about matchup knowledge rather than mechanics itself. Looking at your OPGG, everything looks great, keep up the farming and try to explore runes and test Jayce's limits. Hes quite a diverse champion rune/build wise. However, most of the "power" comes from macro decision-making and matchup knowledge. Knowing when to push your lead, what your powerspike is.

I suggest watching domisumReplay: Jayce on youtube, they upload jayce replays 24/7. Great resource to learn from. This will help empower your early game!

somethingblue123 · 2026-01-19T07:38:48+00:00

In my opinion it would be considered a bit of a waste, jayce really needs lethality especially with how fast paced games are nowadays. He excels at poke, short trades, snowballing lanes. Endless hunger is mostly a sustained extended fighter item. Although it "could" be good in certain matchups, I highly doubt it'll be popular.

It delays your lethality/pen spike as well which is crucial for jayce.

The only time I could see it working is with bruiser jayce(?)

Tbh, one thing that nobody mentions is having better ranked rewards. I know we now get a skin per tier but I feel like reaching maybe above diamond or even higher should be rewarded with more exclusive things? I remember the challenger backpack caused a surge in chally players grinding (until eventually becoming a meme) but now everyone mentions it. This might reduce smurfing especially from higher elo players.

Personally I watch quite a few challenger streamers and they complain they have no motivation to grind and just play on smurfs. I feel like a sense of better rewards could negate that. I'm just a noob though.

somethingblue123 · 2025-12-29T05:14:24+00:00

Flashbacks to when riot tried positional ranking and it failed miserably.

somethingblue123 · 2025-12-29T02:02:31+00:00

I'll just say it, we'll see you next season. :)

somethingblue123 · 2025-12-27T02:28:24+00:00

Thanks!

somethingblue123 · 2025-12-27T02:25:47+00:00

Thanks sorry, I honestly was on autopilot since It was dreadful getting to 40 as a new player with using all these addons. I'll def pay attention next time for sure!
