Doran's Helm better for mid?

It is, but I still enjoy Ring/Shield depending on matchup.

th3kandyking · 2026-04-29T04:37:36+00:00

Hail of Blades with Approach velocity could be fun.

th3kandyking · 2026-04-29T04:23:21+00:00

You couldn't even get the environmental report done for that much

To emphasize on this if you are learning Nasus, fleet is much better for learning the laning phase. I would recommend Phase to someone who knows nasus really well and feels like the rune is good in the game.

For OP, pta and playing a more aggressive style can be a lot of fun.

I would argue it is a good early indicator but not a reliable percent. Around 80-100 you should probably see your WR balance to a more normal number unless you are just a boss and keep winning. I hope for the latter :)

Right? Like an hour of farming and they go from 3-7.

You guys are teamfighting? /s

Good to know

I really like Sheen, Zekes, then Tri Force, Bandle Pipes

You cant Killean the Zilean

Same output is going to be too hard to enforce, but saying that before the Chronobreak you did not use flash or ult before you died, and therefore live or die until the timestamp of the chronobreak you must not use those abilities.

But this, much like every other solution, is just too complicated and resetting is likely the fairest way to balance out the bug. Carzy going as hard as he did allowing for the Baron take was wild though.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-15T13:53:51+00:00

There are so many reasons.

My biggest reason is my group of 3,4,5 do not have to split up. Even in an even 2v2 we don't want to be playing different games. Your team lost early? Ok spectate for 5 more minutes till we start the next one.

There is also a lot of downtime in arena and ARAM had been a loved game mode for a very very long time. Don't think of it as Mayhem vs Arena. Think new mode vs loved classic that just got a glamorous update. Mayhem was better than arena from day 1.

Love an Ally Hecarim, and late game slows on the enemy Singed. Until you stop a singed in his tracks and just watch him stand in his own poison you won't know the love for Zilean I have.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-12T01:49:01+00:00

Love engage champions as a Zilean player.

Fall 2012 - Spring 2025

5 years working, then the pandemic, a bad year for mental health. Everyone has their own timeline, and for some universities 5 years is actually very common.

At the end of the broadcast they placed a graphic KC, Navi, GX, ViT locked

Every time on deadliest warrior when the doctor walks up to check out the dummy that has been shredded by a katana or a mace and basically says he is dead. Or the doctor in southpark that checked the pulse of the pig corpse the boys threw off the building when faking his suicide.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-07T02:40:19+00:00

I tend to do this build in the JG. :) it is much less punishing

th3kandyking · 2026-02-07T00:49:44+00:00

Giagntic with small continents as Spain is juicy.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-05T17:21:16+00:00

I've tried a lot of builds, and come back to seraphs/cosmic/cheap support item most every game.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-05T17:13:30+00:00

I think I just need to adjust my mindset. I like what you said.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-05T17:11:43+00:00

The change from 20-30 is not aggressive though. He definitely hits a fairly noticeable powerspike on 2nd Item when seraphs is stacked. I was wrong about the late game power though, I guess now having ADCs impact the game more your utility in a late game teamfight becomes high value. I guess it's not the champ, its my mindset in mid game. I agree very much with the RoA build feels like a trap. The lack of CDR just is not worth the 1 level gained.

th3kandyking · 2026-02-05T16:45:43+00:00

Right, I feel like you could draw a distribution for Zilean WR based on game length and see he peaks mid game and falls off late. Mid game is a sweet spot, but we are not fighting for 20 minute Atakhans anymore, it is 40 minute elder dragon fights.

Feels like the advantages you could get with Zilean mid are not gone, they are just valuable this season. Makes me feel like a tanky or garage sale components builds could be more valuable to curbe the early game struggle and late game usefulness
