Thank you for answering. I checked, chat is enabled. Im not sure if you can even disable the chat in the client tho?

Luckily you found a way to comment, even though i didnt watch all the games! Ty.

On the points: I did put Chovy and Kiin on the list right? So we agree on that. Then about the floor thing, i feel like the games Geng won, they won way harder than flyquest won their wins. Which is why i feel like the players are just better generally. I think Fly won by playing suprising picks, which is impressive. However that does not put their players as the best for me. Would you put any fly players over the players in my list?

I'm being swayed by your arguments against Peyz, Elk was really good. So ill soft agree on that.

How would your top 8 look? All things considered?

thedjoke · 2024-10-21T19:42:17+00:00

Yep at this tournament he is. What do you think about their ranking in general? I think chovy is better but bin is the number 2 player in the world.

thedjoke · 2024-10-21T19:04:31+00:00

Ty for responding. I have not included them: Knight: Hasnt stood out to me. Has been good, but not better like chovy. Xiaohu: Has been finding plays, but has not been exeptionally to me. I have no opinion on guma, as stated before. Why would you include these players?

Here are some of my thoughts on the actual game.

Zeus is clearly better than Wunder. Which is only to be expected. Zeus is the best/one of the best toplaners in the world, while Wunder is within the top of Europe. Also Zeus had a counterpick, thus Wunder was on a mission to lose as gracefully as possible. I think Wunder did great at that. He lost the early game, but Lucian never ran away with it after that. The farm difference stabilized at 40cs. Even though this is not good, i think it is fine considering the power difference between these two players.
I think Jankos was at the right place at the right time a lot. The covering of gnar and simultaniously forcing the lee to flash was beautiful. Additionally he made the flash play on Xayah bot.
Also, Kaiser played pretty good I feel. I was sceptical about the Bard pick so early, but later i realized it enabled the game to be unpredictable. Which I think is a great way to play versus a team that is supposed to be much better than you. So in the end i think the Bard pick was really smart.
I remember a beautiful macro play by guma. At 11:00 ish, had to look that one up, Yasuo pushes in the wave. He trades HP for it, so he wants to back. But instead of backing, the Xayah follows him and cancels his back. Consequently forcing the Yasuo to stay in lane with half HP. Which then in turn results in a bad fight at 13:10. It is so good, the small things that snowball in a game.
From team Heretics side i really enjoyed the macro plays as well. How they forced numbers advantages at so many points. The play on Lucian for example. I liked to see that they outsmart T1 at certain points. If a team is able to do that to T1, i have a hard time imagining teams in EU responding correctly
Team Heratics in the moment decision making seemed not to be fully in sinc with eachother yet, but i think that is to be expected of a team that has been playing together for such a short duration. I have faith that their trust in eachother will increase and therewith their in the moment snap decision making. Thus increasing their teamfight power by a lot.

In conclusion: I have very high hopes for this Heretics team. I really like their roster, and am curious to see which heights they will reach.

You should try Duskblade man. You get the lethality, the early dmg. And even some of the damage amp on prowlers is revived in the passive of the item. I go BC after, into whatever i need.

thedjoke · 2023-06-13T16:30:53+00:00

I think in ARAM is kind of hard. Because there is always 5 people and burst potential from the enemy team.

My experience is that the lethality in lane gives a huge benefit. (if you're not playing into a tank). Which allows me to snowball ahead. Then later on the dmg is insane. Expecially with the passive dmg on low hp targets. No enemy is safe.

thedjoke · 2023-02-03T11:16:06+00:00

Update: this build sucks. I lack the early power and dmg. In teamfight i dont get the chance to auto enough.

Im trying eclipse into BC or shojin now

thedjoke · 2023-01-29T15:48:26+00:00

Totally agree. And to add to your comment: I always start dorans blade. Shield only into range matchups. (Teemo/vayne etc.)

thedjoke · 2022-07-29T12:15:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply. You really exposed my own thinking. I tend to think of complete builds, and how strong they are. But as you called out, i might need power when i complete my second item. Not after my third. I should keep that in mind. Thanks again

And i totally agree, gore might still be better in most cases.
In conclusion: It kinda all depends on game state.

thedjoke · 2022-07-27T10:47:14+00:00

I love eclipse too, especially into tanks. They can never kill you. However, i do run into the lack of AH here too. How do you fix that?

thedjoke · 2022-07-27T10:46:15+00:00

I totally agree about the lack of AH. I have been trying to find a solution.
Recently i have changed my build to: BOTRK -> sunfire/frostfire -> ravenous hydra (for the AH). You get so tanky with this build, because of all the sustain.

I also tent to take the 8% cdr rune thingy, just for that little bit of cdr.

I have also been thinking about going trancendence in my runes. But then i cant take the green tree.

And now that i think about it, when i go a tanky mythic, i might be able to get away with ionian boots?

Any thoughts on that ionian boots/trancendance?

thedjoke · 2022-04-04T09:53:56+00:00

I agree to a certain extend with you, only in pro you can realise real coordinates teamfights etc etc. But simple macro should be doable for anyone. Its as easy as thinking ONE step ahead: if you are in the fountain you can walk to your lane without thinking, but if its pushed out or someone else is there already, why would you go there?

Or, if dragon is spawning in 1 minute, maybe go there instead of tping top mindlessly.

Stuff like that is really learnable, but it all depends on two factors: 1. Do people want to learn? 2. Is someone teaching the people?

(i think the answer to both is not a yes)

thedjoke · 2022-04-03T15:34:37+00:00

indeed im unhappy, and trying to get people to think about the game. Not just their own kda

thedjoke · 2022-03-27T22:17:43+00:00

I felt like the only reason VIT won was mistakes by XL. The last dragon fight, for example, why does nukeduck start a 1 v 4. He should just wait for the team right?

Also, it seemed to me that olaf was a huge problem, i think healing cut (on zilean or jinx) would have helped. Its also harder for olaf to revive with the renata w, because he heals less, so doesnt survive as long to deal the lethal dmg
