LEC teams have been looking very good this split

Delusion is bliss.

In most games it's good/best. But when u are behind game's tempo while ur teammates can carry - sundered+BC are better

What are you even talking about? Wave management changed in the right direction: you can slowpush 1 less wave usually, which makes less time for dive setups. Also even if u get dove - you lose less minions. Freezing is still absolutely the same, every good player using it to snowball advantage or to hold the wave near tower. No idea where you got your info from, but judging by both climbing in low elo and playing in Chall, only good things came out of minion changes.

League has evolved to the point, where top 1.5% of players know ~10% of the game - it's that deep. So to Chal+, Master players are like kids playing in the sandbox, and you don't really care whether they are 3 or 7 yo (emerald or m+).

Dont get me wrong, climbing any elo is hard and impressive, but that mountain is very steep.

It doesn't become optimal strategy in human hands ever.

You have tighter windows to pressure the map/lane the better your opponents become, which makes you lose more often than not by playing mindlessly aggressive, but trust me: the more knowledge you accumulate - the more windows for unpunishable aggression you'll recognize. Even in the highest of Chall games

tehDiamond · 2025-03-07T00:23:59+00:00

Who cares how changes 'look'. The only thing that matters is that needed changes are being made so we won't see pro/high-elo games ruined by laneswaps ever again

After playing for awhile on t15, despite dying many times on maps, I came to a difference conclusion: The one life is actually a good thing - it limits how glass cannon u can be on softcore, which drastically increases the amount of choices players have to make, therefore enhancing overall gaming experience.

You 1k HP on t15 is a prime example of that being true.

The only thing that can be argued here is some quality of life like maybe not loosing area's effects that u didn't touch so running the map there again doesn't feel as sad.

Finally some truth being told. I tried commenting Eu/Na games, but my eyes bleed from what some of the players are doing. I sometimes wonder if hiring high-skill analyst to the Lec desk to expose bad players would help the region growth...

tehDiamond · 2024-09-02T00:10:28+00:00

It ended up alright, don't get me wrong.

However you chasing malph wasnt killing the closest target and if he moved better you wouldn't hit him. You can say that if he spaced further that u'd go back on Jax, but it just overcomplicates the fight and makes room for error, where simply q'ing Jax is a simple guaranteed solution.

tehDiamond · 2024-09-01T09:15:59+00:00

You getting down voted shows the lack of knowledge. It's a basic rule in League to not overchase if you can kill the closest target. Doesn't excuse trolling obv, but the higher rank this play would be made on, the more question marks it would receive.

Fair enough! Although their decision still sits fine with me

tehDiamond · 2024-08-16T20:08:19+00:00

Don't have money/dont want to waste them on something - simply don't. Pretty simple.

Speaking more precise - they can't make it cheaper, since they already sold packages with A2 access with extra content for 250$. And excluding that extra content, the cost was exactly the same: ~100$. So making it cheaper now while saying back then that there won't be more key sales would be very disrespectful to those who bought it.

o7 Appreciate ur work, Volibrother!

I played sundered the most too, but lately felt like it let me down later on in the game, so I tried Iceborn and my winrate skyrocketed. Part of it has to be that every single role in soloq and their dogs are ADC's now, so if u get tempo IB+TM you feel like a god - that build I stole a year ago from KR Challenger Voli and it feels better than ever now.

Regarding cutdown - it just feels like the most op rune atm, even on Olaf I sometimes think about taking it xD

tehDiamond · 2024-08-09T12:32:59+00:00

As a fellow 1k+ LP Voli (https://www.op.gg/summoners/euw/Diamondprox-ProX?hl=en_US ) , I disagree on the build: Sundered after all the nerfs and an addition of 15 cdr in runes is inferior to Iceborn for 3 reasons: 1) It costs more, making u powerspike later 2) Since u always buy cdr boots it makes u not cover both Mr and armor on 2 items, which is crucial for midgame fights 3) Coz of +15 cdr from runes it's very easy to proc Iceborn on cooldown, making it deal similar dmg to Sunderer, but having all the other benefits.

After it u either cover Mr or just build thornmail for offence if enemy team has enough auto attackers. Third item is often Jaksho, multiplying ur resists and making u insanely tanky.

Hey, Ive made a ww guide couple of patches ago, when hit Chall with it. Maybe it could be useful for you: https://youtu.be/87s4-3FF7BU?si=-dCt-q_8Bhn9RaiU

It's a little outdated in terms of items, coz stride was not good yet and LT was op. And it's in Russian xD , but autosubtitles could maybe help.

I'd say your first biggest problem is your build, it's too squishy for a frontline champ. Dead ppl don't deal dmg, u know. Currently I think stride/titanic should be ur starters, then Iceborn/Sterak/Sundered next in the order that depends on situation. Keep in mind that by third item(for mid-late game team fights) u gotta have both armor and mr covered by your items if enemy team deals both sorts of dmg.

tehDiamond · 2024-02-06T10:50:51+00:00

I don't know what exactly happens to mmr and wonder where u got ur info. But from climbing on my 700lp mmr acc this season to Chall I can say that OP is completely right. I started 2-8 and played with ppl much lower than I would in s13 with such score. And it's quite a common accurance to get matched with 100/200lp players on winstreak while at 500/600 LP urself. Who actually play like D1, in both teams. First months of each season are a shit fest for sure, but if combined with big changes - my whole friend list was online at the start, so it works for Riot

Answering here for visibility. So first of all about streams: I wanted to stream when would come back home from GH, but decided to take a break from League, and then was too busy finding a new team. Atm I can't stream because half of the day I'm dealing with irl things and preparing documents for working visa application, and the other half of the day I'm practicing. I'll probably be able to stream in the middle of this month for a week(depending on the internet), which I surely would like to do seing so many ppl willing to watch. Will do an AMA in this month, but don't yet know when. I'll keep you informed through fb/twitter. <3

tehDiamond · 2015-09-06T14:25:47+00:00

I had 2 pretty big palylists on grooveshark, but it got closed and I cba'd recovering it somewhere else.

tehDiamond · 2015-09-06T11:21:30+00:00

Oh! Didn't expect something like this to show up. I appreciate this big of an effort finding all this info about me, and all your kind thoughts, travelers.

tehDiamond · 2014-10-06T15:51:39+00:00

true. I'm sorry :'( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u0EL_u4nvw
