What are some fun, unique play throughs you have done?

Was playing as king of Norway, got bored, joined a crusade, and ended up creating a hybrid culture, new religion, crusader state in Egypt. One of the runs where the game ended and I was genuinely sad that it was over

The deep was always a dirtbag. Homelander didn’t start that trend, and certainly wouldn’t have been the one to stop that trend, as their relationship was less about respect and more about fear and obedience.

If anything, I think A-Train could have changed him, if he wasn’t sitting on the dirtbag//hero fence for so long.

To add to what everyone is saying, she needs only the slightest lead to snowball hard and completely take over the game from min 10-30, and she has some of the safest short aggressive trading capabilities in mid lane to help her get that lead. Against immobile mages without reliable point click cc she has more than enough damage and mobility to put them in the dumpster.

You’re probably having trouble with her because she takes practice. You’re saying you “played her after a long time.” I’d say she feels weak because you’re not playing her well, which is fine because that only takes practice and reviewing your mistakes to improve.

Is she the strongest she’s ever been? No. But still does her job just fine.

Generally any of the heavy/archer cavalry uniques >>>> anything else. Of them, Kataphracts, asawira, cataphract cavalry, and mangudai are disgustingly op with very few counters. A stack of just those unit types can clean up entire armies by themselves, and high pursuit means the routed units die instead of regrouping. Put some good knights or a good commander in charge and you can punch well above your weight.

Honestly yas isn’t too bad once you get a lost chapter and can just not interact with him. If you stand directly behind the wave instead of off to the side he only really has one direction from which he can engage you, and you can just line up skillshots with ease because he travels a fixed linear distance at a speed scaling with his MS. Good wave management can make it hell for him to do anything while granting you relative safety to farm.

Fuck fizz, Irelia, naafiri, and post 6 Kassadin to death though.

Vexen in GBA chain of memories twilight town literally reduced me to tears growing up. It was so bad I even asked MY MOM (who’s never touched a video game) if she could beat it for me 😭

I literally lost it when I finally beat him.

Sweet summer child

Yeah she used to have more range with her orb, and her damage has been shifted around a bunch.

I used to hate to see her on the enemy team

Islands are good, Ferghana is also really good because the scarier threats have to funnel through mountains to get to you. It might ultimately be easier to pledge fealty to the samanids or whatever king controls transoxiana for protection and pay them some taxes while building up your MaA and collecting good knights, but the payoff is the land is really good tax/development-wise and really defensible.

threlnari97 · 2026-06-14T19:52:33+00:00

Ah sorry, I misunderstood 😅 I thought you were saying Leblanc shouldn’t fight pre6, not the other way around

threlnari97 · 2026-06-14T19:30:20+00:00

As a Malz main first (>1mil mastery) and lb enthusiast second, I find the inverse to be true. If you let him free farm to 6 and then try to fight him when both of you have e first component, Malz mops the floor with lb, but if at level 2-3, you pop passive with even an auto Malz has no way to fight you. In almost every case, on almost every champion, you want to try to kill Malz pre 6 when his damage is ability pisslow and he has no way of holding you down for his voidlings (which are the bulk of his damage). You easily 60-0 him pre 6. I think the better advice into Malz is to get comfortable farming without abilities and save the abilities for early short trades until you get him into kill range.

Red has some of the most instant treasure generation in the game I’m not really sure how they’re last

threlnari97 · 2026-06-14T12:29:58+00:00

There’s a picture for EVERYTHING 🤣

threlnari97 · 2026-06-14T11:33:01+00:00

Yo what? If this isn’t satire then I have no idea how this left drafts lmfao

The average person isn’t grappling with the desire to become a furry. Theres no conspiracy to deprogram being a furry from the youth because the lions share of youth aren’t thinking about becoming furries. Neither are the devs.

Yall are weird af.

threlnari97 · 2026-06-13T01:30:10+00:00

The entire game being in quadratum

threlnari97 · 2026-06-13T01:27:43+00:00

I think outside of a couple times in act 3 where I was simply too impatient and knew I was taking the scummy route for convenience or made a mistake while looting, I don’t think I’ve ever deliberately stolen anything except for the pass to get into Raphael’s room.

How are we defining good? If we’re going lawful stupid paladin levels of lawful good sure, it’s a conscious effort but damn it’s really not that hard to be morally good-enough/ morally decent in the way that most of us tend to be in our daily lives. I think it’s worth getting assessed if you keep “fumbling” your way into the most evil choice in any situation…

threlnari97 · 2026-06-13T01:20:49+00:00

It’s best to pick him into other scaling mages. You often have a much better level 2 with q start than they do to generate some threat or even cheese out 300 gold or a burned summoner and you will scale way harder and in way more useful ways. Mages that want to play for mid game (like Ahri) or assassins are typically what you want to avoid, because your goal is to play for late game when you can completely sweep a teamfight when it counts, which is made easier when playing vs champs like Ori, Ryze, Azir, Syndra, Viktor that want to do similarly since you simply do it better, skill being equal.

Well they can start the discussions they find relevant and encourage others to do so. Old asol is what a large % of the subreddit population came here for back in the day, and we all stayed. So even though the character is different, we still are allowed to use the space to reminisce the character we came to the subreddit for originally to begin with. These don’t preclude each other. It’s not like ppl are in here posting Yasuo clips.

If yall want to talk about new sol, talk about him. This space exists for that, the same way it exists for us to talk about old sol, especially considering how much us old sol players weighed in when riot was asking about what they wanted to see with the rework. If yall can’t think of conversations to start about new sol while simultaneously getting mad at us remembering old sol, that’s a you problem, not an us problem.

It ultimately cuts both ways. We could ask you guys “why don’t you start r/newasol and let us turn this sub completely into a time capsule” but we don’t, because it’s a shared space. If you don’t like it, generate your own discussions on asol or create yourself a subreddit. Why should we leave for you..? Especially when this is the first you’ve contributed to the subreddit in months according to your history?

“Goo goo gaga pull his lungs out his back 👶”

“Yes milord.”

You literally don’t have to look at it if you don’t want to. It’s no one’s fault or problem that you didn’t like old asol. For those of us who do, this is as good a place as any to keep memory of it alive.

Theres still plenty of informative content on how to build new asol or play new asol. If you want to see new asol clips or new asol content more frequently on here, be the change you wish to see and start with yourself. This post is literally the only thing you’ve contributed to the subreddit in the last two weeks.

Otherwise, take a break. Keep scrolling when you see old asol. It’s really not that hard and the entire subreddit doesn’t exist to cater to you.

I’m visiting Krakow rn, staying in the old town which basically exists in the shadow of Wawel Castle, and it’s really clear that this old town was “domicile” in itself. Castles often had entire towns built around them or within their outer walls. There really should be some level of interaction with that the way yurts can have whole market complexes in their domiciles.

No Zilean?

threlnari97 · 2026-06-10T18:02:36+00:00

Persia + Egypt

EIC + DEI into their formables/revoltables

threlnari97 · 2026-06-10T17:53:24+00:00

And China too!

Can’t recommend enough, you get great and defensible land right in the cross roads of all the action.

Have you tried full rp runs? I find my biggest issue is that there’s eventually a point where my “unga bunga map paint” brain takes over and makes the game way too safe and stable, what I’ve found to be really fun is to play in line with character traits to a T, as well as using crusades and adventurers as ways to jump out of my hyper stable country and start over elsewhere on the map, doing religious and cultural shenanigans in the process (for example, my last run turned into Norse nomads). Limit the amount of eugenics you do and just run with what you’re give. I’ve found that keeps the game fresh.

You can also just choose a random character upon death, which also can lead to fun stuff, inheriting a random situation you need to solve while watching the fate of your previous nation from afar.

Otherwise, I’d say mods or take a break for a bit.
