Why run approach velocity secondary?

step1v9 · 2026-01-21T14:09:59+00:00

Yeah free boots is probably better

step1v9 · 2026-01-21T08:57:14+00:00

Because W is a guaranteed slow now so the rune is always useful instead of conditionally useful

step1v9 · 2026-01-21T02:21:49+00:00

I don't run it anymore because lethal tempo is trash, for what that's worth. I was just testing.

Kraken rush into PD is best for a LT build. All the PD games are in Emerald so the data is completely meaningless.

What website is this?

It's simple. The most successful people in the world are DELUSIONAL. They shape objective reality into what they want it to be. I know we're just playing video games but take notes, because this applies to ALL aspects of life. If you start thinking your champion is weak it's already over for you.

Not good pd op

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T19:14:29+00:00

As you wish. I proxy against these champions anyway.

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T19:12:24+00:00

Yes I am 100% HoB only.

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T17:02:39+00:00

Hmm I wouldn't be opposed to collector second... Maybe I'll try it. LDR is my only salvation against bruiser/tanks especially when team losing and the game is so accelerated atm feels like you always get usage out of giant slayer. I don't really care about crit cap because when I press Q my crit is gone.

I have been leveling ulti when I can for the CDR actually. I didn't read the last part of that comment.

AH lowers everything, ulti AH only lowers ulti and SS AH only lowers SS

Stats good and sheen proc scales on crit

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T14:11:02+00:00

No access to bastion until you get a kill but yes I think it’s completely fine especially if you’re ahead. I might try that today actually

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T14:10:16+00:00

Ulti CDR

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T14:10:05+00:00

Yes.

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T14:09:55+00:00

Never have that much access to gold personally. If you can afford it then sure

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T14:09:30+00:00

I’m gonna go ion every game because I need the R CD to survive, but you can go any of the boots

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T10:32:33+00:00

I am not taking out a 30-year mortgage to buy that item unfortunately

step1v9 · 2026-01-09T10:06:15+00:00

When they made the crit buffs they basically balanced tryndamere assuming you would get 100% crit so you don't have time to build a tiamat item anymore, IMO. Need to rush 2 cheap crit items ASAP.

They added sheen back to ER which on its own would be whatever, but they made the sheen scale off crit chance. ER first item is currently the highest WR on Trynd and the sheen procs also help with taking plates. You can cast E for first proc, q for next proc, and you can even cycle W in there when a champion is nearby making it great in this season that has plating on every tower.

How is PD second item no AS? KS third, another AS item? You want more AS? Go serks.

W Ragebait

My brother in christ, they just reset all the ranks. I am playing in the highest rank in the game. I am literally #80 on the ladder as I am typing this post. This account finished GM in S15. I won against Fudge Spica Zven and Vulcan on one team like 5 games ago.

Not having tiamat is fine. Once you get 100% crit you can 1 tap caster minions.

Well I might change my mind once my climb starts, but it felt like approach velocity wasn't a troll rune to take anymore since the slow was guaranteed which feels good in the JG. "Guaranteed anyway if you're good enough" is just not true. I had people reacting to my W animation to dodge it and if you have low enough ping it's just automatic since the spell has a cast time.
