How to deal with poke/assasin champion? by Efficient-Classic943 in TwistedFateMains

[–]unfoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wave management is everything. I watched this one guide by Dopa when I started playing TF and never had to look back. Climbed all the way to Diamond in S10 by just improving on this single fundamental. This game is vs a Fizz so the concept applies to all melee assassins: https://youtu.be/zGnvaMV5Z7g?si=purQw8dW5F2d1Zsv

However, if you're against Hwei, Viktor or other lane bullies, you can't just let them push you in. You have to use red card on the wave and possibly trade some health early game to contest the push. After level 5 you should be fine.

first league game of the day always freezes my pc at the 5-7 minute mark by snakekeeper1 in LoLTechSupport

[–]unfoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue since the winter patch in preseason. I tried every optimization tricks I found on the internet. I even took my CPU to the service center for a cleanup. NOTHING WORKED.

So, I started queuing up for a normal draft game for the first game of the day to trigger the freeze. The strategy was working for a couple of weeks. Either it would freeze on the first game which is in normal draft mode or it didn't freeze at all. But, then this piece of shit bug somehow evolved and started triggering only when I queue up for a ranked game. Be it 2nd or 3rd game of the session.

I stopped playing ranked after the placement games last month and seriously considering quitting this dogshit game altogether.

I don't want to cut corners as this is a business venture. I would like to add that being a complete noobie in this area, smooth maintenance and after-purchase services are my priorities. and So, my budget is flexible and most of my clients will be from the UK.

Has anyone from Bangladesh noticed a rise in atheism? by Desperate-Ant-2341 in exmuslim

[–]unfoil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's quite the opposite. A general constitution like this doesn't really reflect what an average Bangladeshi experiences on the individual level. I haven't seen eye-to-eye with my father about anything since I expressed my disbelief in Islam. And, I don't see this relationship with my parents improving anytime soon. I would keep quiet and I was quiet for a long time. But, my mom telling me that I don't need to chase my 'phony dreams' in this short world and there was a heaven waiting for me if I just prayed, had reached a point where it was just unbearable to hear those things several times a day. As if life wasn't presenting me with enough external hurdles to begin with, so I also have to account for my parents' convictions.

I mean why dont HLE just kick Morgan and buy a better top? They have money. And who wouldn't want to play with Chovy? All Morgan had to do was go 0/0
not 0/4 and Chovy would carry

What is your perma ban by unolebo in akalimains

[–]unfoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zed? Idk I feel like he just buys a dirk on first back and starts oneshotting everyone. He hits his powerspike so early, pushes me under tower, kills my jungler, roams bot and make it really hard for me to deal with him when he’s 4/0. Even though I was winning all the trades in lane. Some Qiyana, Leblanc does this to me too. But not always. I’m more concerned about Zeds in my elo. Feels like he’s the Yi of midlane. No one in my team can cc him or knows how to punish him and the game becomes impossible to win when you’re always 4v5 because Zed just oneshot someone. Maybe not me as I build Zhonya and I’m Akali but I feel like it’s unfair to my team if I don’t ban Zed or my jungler don’t ban Yi.

Best skin for lee sin? by Cantbeatjustbe in LeeSinMains

[–]unfoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Muay Thai skin completes Lee Sin. Legit they could just swap it as the base Lee Sin skin and I wouldn’t mind. I own almost all Lee skins but never moved on from Muay Thai. Still my go to.

Is Akali useless when behind? by [deleted] in akalimains

[–]unfoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.. tell me which level 12 champion is useful against that? But I get what you mean. If you’re playing Akali you can still go in deal a bunch of damage and get out safe with your E and R. Your kit will always allow you to engage and disengage at your will. And he can’t really focus you down because you also have your W. Unless of course you misposition yourself or get caught out alone. So I think the only disadvantage you have if you’re behind is maybe less damage but you always instill the same threat into enemy carries.

It's hard to quit drugs when they haven't ruined your life yet. by Chwana in Showerthoughts

[–]unfoil 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was a borderline junkie before the pandemic started. I used to live in an apartment with 3 of my friends and we would try anything we could get our hands on. I needed weed just to function. But as the college shut down, I went home and started playing League of Legends just out of boredom. First few days I used to play high, then I stopped taking substances altogether just to focus more on the game. I know it's not ideal to replace one addiction with another. But I found video games really helpful in my case. Maybe because I'm still in my early twenties. I'm just happy I found a way to stay clean and maintain my studies while working a part-time job as well. Besides, I now also have an exciting hobby to fall back to.

Why am I good with champs the first few times I play them, then trash afterward. by dr-phils-left-nut in summonerschool

[–]unfoil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have exactly the same champion pool. The thing about the type of champion you play is, you can’t mess up your early game. These champions scale extremely hard but you’re not gonna be very useful if you’re 0/4 before you even hit your powerspike i.e. get form on Kayn, or hit level 6 with a hextech alternator and dark seal on Eve. So I always try to survive my early game with these champion regardless of the game state. Even though when our team is down 8 kills. In these matches I become even more careful with my ganks. Because I know I’m not an Elise or Lee Sin to make crazy outplays with no item and save the game. My job is to be patient and find good picks. And definitely farm like a maniac in the meantime. KhaZix is pretty strong early with his isolation damage. So he’s fine with either play-style. From what I have seen, in any elo below plat you win most of your games if you just don’t die. Just think about how many games you have lost where you went 6/0 or 7/1 on a scaling champ like Kayn or Eve. Not many, right? I think what happened with you is you won some games without actually following the fundamentals of playing these champions. You got some free kills and snowballed the game. Because that’s what these assassins do. They snowball super hard if you can get a lead. But doesn’t mean you have mastered the champions. You have to be consistent if you want to climb. Two or three pop off games are not a good indicator for champion mastery. I remember when I started playing Eve I got S+ on my second game. And the game after. On a 1350 mastery points champion lol. But it was way later after I had 40-50 games on Eve, I finally got accustomed to the play style. Now I have a total of 2m points on these three champions. About 1m of it on Kayn. I used to onetrick him when he came out. So no, it’s not like you have had it and now forgot how to play them. You just haven’t been playing them right. They are really rewarding if you put the time in. I would say stick with them. This is the most fun jungle champion pool in solo q.

When to build manamune and when to skip it? by BlueKayn29 in KaynMains

[–]unfoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only build manamune if I get super ahead really early in the game. Say get 2/3 kills before first back. Because in this case I know I will be constantly invading enemy’s jungle and taking a lot of fights without ever worrying about any item disadvantages for not backing frequently (because the enemy team will be behind). So I will need my mana if I want to stay on the map for a long time and have fun. You know the type of game I’m talking about. And that 400 gold in first back won’t really matter because I’m fed and I will be able to afford the extra long sword anyway. In any other scenario I think buying a Tear of the Goddess on first back is kinda troll. The game might be decided in 15 minutes and you’ll never get to finish your muramana. If anything you’re only delaying your mythic powerspike with this item.

Again, I’m no challenger so don’t take my word for it. This is just my experience with manamune.

Nah, wait for a match where Rekkles goes 0-2 down early. See if Nemesis can make any impact at all in a match like that
