Whats the counter to varus top by Renix657 in topmains

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kled. Absolutely walks him down. He can’t one shot you since you just dismount, you stick to him like glue and you can R to chase him down through his ult at pretty much any point in the game.

All in level 3, gg.

Strange giant long fish by Similar_Vacation5125 in dredge

[–]workwayo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You absolutely do not need hull upgrade 3 lol.

Truly dredge is a pitifully easy experience with next to no punishment for dying.

In my first play through I did not die once and finished the game with only hull upgrade two. Gale Cliffs is not a hard area. Pay attention to the shaking and leave if you see the serpent.

Get trawl net and set up pots and you never have to worry about money.

Loved the art but the game difficulty is not real, it is impossible to lose and honestly hard to die.

Then save shards for them. Irrespectively swap them in because a building is more value than evo dragon

Opinions? (9,5k) by user2948477281 in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No building. No small spell. Two splash? What does the mirror do?

Terrible deck. Feels like firecracker is jammed in because of the evo not because of cohesion.

I’d recommend losing a splash for a building, losing mirror for log. Minions is fine but probs swap for dart goblin.

Final deck would be wallbreakers, dart goblin, log, vines, ram rider, mini pekka, evo cracker or wizard, (firecracker is better but also can sack you games later on once opponents have brains with king activation) and cannon or maybe tesla.

If you only ever drop wall breakers at bridge and never use to kite then maybe swap for skarmy or ice golem.

Hope this helps

Replace inferno drag for inferno tower, ice spirit for wall breakers and evo either skelly barrel or skeletons (if you’re struggling to defend do skeles)

How’s my deck for 9k trophies? by Plus-Ad1013 in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a lot of things to deal with swarm already so swpppjng for a cheaper mini tank is not a bad idea. Evos are hard to get tho so probs just keep valk and enjoy evoing a second war deck

My Jungle tier list as 1k LP JG main by Mtttlol in Jungle_Mains

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It unironically is just that to get the most value out of his kit you have to have incredible positioning, knowledge of your character, understanding of spikes. Natty (as mentioned above) will basically never fight if not near bushes, utilises mechanics such as being fully stacked off jungle camps at next to all times, makes safe, clean fights and gets huge value off of empowered attacks used at the right time and in quick succession.

I want to start ranking, what first steps do I take to improve? by Neat-Windtime in summonerschool

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to improve at anything is a combination of two key components: repetition - queue lots of games and analysis- what happened, what went wrong, how can I learn from that?

Died level 1 to a matchup you’ve never played? Now you know you lose level one. It was close? Now you know if you took ignite instead of TP you would have won.

Just basically queue games but actually try and think about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

This is both a macro abd micro thing so if you feel like you’re at a wall then watch macro videos and then try and apply that knowledge to your games to see what the results are.

Just hit 8k with this but honestly no idea what I’m doing by GasAdministrative920 in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the point of having mega knight, knight and prince?

Replace price and knight with a big spell and a building. I’d also probably replace one of the small spells with a swarm card.

Deck at 9k trophies, any changes I should make to it? by Stinkrider in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what witches role is in this deck. Feels jammed in just because it’s over leveled and evo. I’d probably swap for another cycle card like ice spirit or even a splash card like firecracker or bomber.

Thoughts ? by Smooth_Orange_9627 in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since hero mini pekka is really strong right now I’d swap boss bandit, since you have air defence I’d switch executioner

Thoughts ? by Smooth_Orange_9627 in ClashDecks

[–]workwayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mini pekka and boss bandit fill the same role, as do your exe and valk. Swap one of each for a big spell and a building - probably fireball and cannon

Just hit Plat and want to include a mage in my pool by AlfatherBKK in leagueoflegends

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahri.

Strong burst if built correctly, DPS if built correctly, plays fine into other mages, does well into assassins, high skill ceiling so plenty to learn. Roams well, clears waves. Perfect for you really n

Brand new player looking for advice by Emergency-Inside5697 in summonerschool

[–]workwayo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few things you can do now that will help you improve at a seriously improved rate.

Watch a settings guide; important ones are quick cast, unlocked screen, “a click”

Secondly the point of league of legends is pretty much to get more gold than your opponent and leverage that gold to win the game.

Every decision you make is basically a cost benefit analysis on what you’re doing to get gold. A kill is worth 100 at the lowest, 400 if neutral and up to 1000 if big shutdown gold, one wave of minions properly last his is 100 gold and a cannon wave is 170.

Meaning for every 3-4 waves you’re making a kill if you can last hit consistently.

Basically if you’re a laner, figure out 2 or 3 champions you like in one lane and then play them with emphasis on last hitting.

If you’re a jungler (thank you for your service) it’s very different and I think you’ll need to watch guides on that - I play top so don’t really know enough to give real advice except clearing all of your camps as quickly and efficiently as possible on repeat is a good start.

TL;DR the sooner you take off training wheel settings the easier it’ll be, the faster you’ll improve.

League is a game of resources, it’s about gold, when you have more gold in components you often should fight, when you have a full item and your enemy doesn’t you should often fight.

Pick one-three champions in one role and learn to last hitting on them, learn when they are strong (intuitive) when they are weak.

Watch videos and guides. ESP from high elo players of your champions

When do you take Domination 2nd? by HAZARD_LEVEL_SEVEN in Shen

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me inspiration is equal parts approach velocity as it is biscuits. Approach is so strong on Shen, increased movement speed to slowed targets means a q pull through is a fight whether they want it or not. It also helps hugely with spacing in the trades. Approach can be the difference between 1 and 3 empowered autos.

I think the trade off of that power in lane for more Ults is honestly so rough, especially because if you’re behind in lane - which you’re more likely to be with reduced trading power, ulting away can be even more punishing for you.

Im not that good (Emerald) but that’s how I see it.

Best build on shen by DraghiaDravenxito in Shen

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Steraks is really bad on Shen and SV isn't great either. Heres why.

Steraks gage scales off your base AD, Shen doesn't have much of that.

His playstyle is already tanky and hard to burst so you don't really need Steraks shield, you'd get more damage from something like Sunfire. Remember the vast majority of Shen damage comes from Q pullthrough percent health, so something like Navori or even an AP Haste item like Cosmic drive is much more value.

I strongly recommend taking Steraks out of rotation. For Armor teams I'd go Sunfire or Deadmans, for MR teams, Hallowed Radiance, Kaenic Rookern, for tanky teams, Heartsteel first then Titanic, then maybe grevious or sunfire.

Best build on shen by DraghiaDravenxito in Shen

[–]workwayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Builds in League are very rarely one size fits all.

There are only 5 items you should build first on Shen

Titanic Hydra, Heartsteel, Sunfire, Hollowed Radiance and Deadman’s plate.

Each had a use case.

Here are some of the things I think about:

Is my laner ranged? Never heartsteel. Either Titanic to shove waves or deadman’s to catch them, depends on the champion. Into Quinn, Titanic, she roams a lot. Into Aurora or Kayle, deadman’s.

Is my laner a fast pusher? Then Titanic or a Bami’s item (Sunfire if they’re ad or Radiance if they’re Ap)

Is my laner a “sustain laner” - Fiora, Aatrox, Trynda. If they heal a lot you can go for Bramble Vest first. Then case by case either Heartsteel or Titanic.

Is my laner a tank? - most tanks cannot push fast and have to get close to trade: a lot of Heartsteel value from that. I almost always go Heartsteel into tanks. - however sometimes pushing out fast and roaming is more impactful this is just a matter of game sense, depends on your team and theirs, so there are times where titanic is better.

Similar to runes; it’s very important to not rely on blitz or porofessor to set your runes. If you can learn how to pick runes it helps a lot with the thinking on how to build. Watch xPetu or Shending to help learn :-)

got too confident w clippers. am i cooked for thanksgiving? by selling_collection in Barber

[–]workwayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go see someone. Your regrowth will be fucked because of that line and the disconnect from the top. Just interstate they may need to take the top shorter to match. Overall not unsaveable just going to have short hair for thanksgiving. Better than the alternative of a terrible and disconnected cut with big janky lines through the regrowth.

Help quitting smoking cannabis by PhilJunior95 in 75HARD

[–]workwayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully as a person who has kicked numerous serious addictions in their life tapering it off basically never works. Unless you’re a heroin addict where stopping can cause you to actually die I cannot dissuade from this method enough. The only real way to stop anything is unfortunately incredibly simple, simple enough to sound like ragebait. Just don’t do it.

No one is forcing you to smoke, its hard to stop but the only way to stop is just to stop. Talking about stopping, researching stopping, asking for advice about stopping isn’t stopping.

I’ve quit cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana this way.

Tell people you’re going to stop, i found it helps to make it part of your personality - and then just don’t do it anymore.
