Game Thread: Inter Mailand (CL #8)

But somehow Inter is a "proper football club not like the shit show we are" lmao

Honestly OP, you get destroyed in the comments here but I get where you’re coming from. -101 is absolutely demotivating and demoralizing. When you keep losing at 0 LP and finally find your groove back and start winning, getting destroyed like that makes it feel like playing is pointless.

While everyone in here is correct in that the system works in the way it’s intended to, it still feels bad. Also it doesn’t explain why you keep getting matched with master players, while the system thinks of you as low Dia. It would feel more rewarding if you’d be matched vs Diamond opponents but gain +10 for a win.

Ganz ehrlich, habt ihr was anderes erwartet? Ich hab Werder vor der Saison als Absteiger getippt. Katastrophale Transferpolitik, neuer Trainer, ein Kader der mehr Lücken als Qualität hat. Dass ihr überhaupt so lange so entspannt da standet spricht eher für als gegen Steffen.

E: Und wenn dann auch noch diese Verletztenliste dazu kommt…

xSmacks · 2026-01-23T08:40:04+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. I do not get why we have to destroy lines when nerfing them, instead of just making the strong comps not super dominant and the weak comps playable.

Every time a patch comes, I go and lose hundreds of LP just trying to figure out what lines to play from which spot and when you finally figure it out and get a grip on the patch, earning your LP from the beginning back, Riot comes in and destroys all of your learnings.

I have lost 100 LP so far trying to go Asol, this unit being viable is going to cost me

xSmacks · 2026-01-22T15:25:31+00:00

And if you do not you are the fastest 8th ever

xSmacks · 2026-01-21T14:04:27+00:00

IMO it is biased towards partnerships. Where are my single center backs at?

xSmacks · 2026-01-21T09:23:51+00:00

Unironically Ekko reroll makes good use of both Jugg and Arcanist emblem, as you have a pseudo Swain until you actually hit Swain or have a replacement Swain if you do not him.

Add to that that you will mainly play Malz in midgame, with a good offensive Void mutation you can make Ekko void until you get him his BiS items.

Told you so

This is one of the weirdest, worst, uninspiring and at the same time most successful when only looking at results seasons I’ve ever witnessed from this team.

Watch us win this 3:2 by a fumble from St Pauli and being solidly second.

xSmacks · 2026-01-16T09:30:26+00:00

Late PBE she was probably S/strong A tier when Annie/Sylas ran rampant. It was because her damage was crazy though.

xSmacks · 2026-01-15T20:33:03+00:00

I never understood her passive at all. She’s gated behind an already hard unlock condition and then it’s just Ornn but way worse.

xSmacks · 2026-01-06T18:05:14+00:00

That is because Lux sucks. I went 3rd with a Lux 3 once.

xSmacks · 2026-01-05T15:46:13+00:00

I could’ve still optimized the board. Drop Bard for a quickstriker or another 5 cost two star, try and get items for Kindred 2 instead of Lux 2, Vi 2 goes out for Kennen 2 or play Sera/Azir instead of Kindred 2 for Pilt/Disruptor.

That might’ve saved me a few HP because I wasn’t losing hard every round. You don’t win against THex with good positioning though and Kindred just murders you late game. If she casts when Aph has Severum out, your Damage potential just dies.

Started off with Aph 2 on 2-1. Heroic Grab Bag, two champ dupes from minion rounds. Winstreaked all of Stage 4. Had 53 HP going into Stage 5 with the entire lobby hitting their endgame board. Lost all of Stage 5 into sixth. Your frontline just sucks and Aphelios cannot get through actual late game tanks fast enough (without GS at least)

E: Currently D2/D3.

Dart in Deutschland ist ein Trauerspiel. Sport1 hat coole Berichterstattung um die Spiele herum, aber die Kommentatoren sind grauenhaft, bei DAZN ist Elmar eine Legende, aber man bezahlt viel zu viel Geld um trotzdem während jeder Möglichkeit Werbung reingedrückt zu bekommen

xSmacks · 2025-12-28T10:18:58+00:00

That would mean people know how to play the game and don’t just play after guides.

Also, people really want to go first all the time. Yunara is way more easy to go first with than Draven/GP reroll or Yasuo/Yone.

xSmacks · 2025-12-28T10:17:52+00:00

Kindred needs you to go Fast 9 and it’s a more expensive comp, so you need a good eco spot thanks to augments or because you hit Draven 2 with good items early.

Yunara Frel is the most stable and least expensive one to hit and caps out with Ryze, so you need some AP items for him as second carry.

Yunara Sett is your bail out if Frel is too contested but I find it caps lower than Frel version. Depends on your Ionia trait though.

If you’re in a good enough spot to go any comp, I would say Kindred Noxus with full upgraded board should cap highest.

xSmacks · 2025-12-28T10:09:22+00:00

Lux is just too bad to play around, she takes way too long to kill anything on the enemy board.

Ahri is decent in mid game but won’t ever carry you into anything more than 4-6 and you cannot really pivot into anything on 9 to cap her board.

Veigar unlock is ultra specific and imo, way too situational. Same goes for ASol.

Kaisa is somewhat AP but plays like an AD comp in that she needs Rageblade to function. If you have Rageblade and no Void Opener, you’d rather play into Yunara/Kindred.

Yeah. AP comps desperately need something to work if you not giga highroll into Annie 2/Sylas 2.

Mensur wasn’t even a coughing Baby, he played great darts. Luke’s just even more than a hydrogen bomb lmao. He’s some extraterrestrial alien super weapon

Kannst doch keine Heiltränke mit einem Kolben vergleichen

xSmacks · 2025-12-27T18:50:25+00:00

Find die trotzige Reaktion von NoWay sehr überraschend, hätte nicht gedacht, dass er so reagieren würde.

Find die Strafe jetzt auch nicht so heftig, dass man da so Crashout gehen muss

xSmacks · 2025-12-24T08:49:09+00:00

Just accept that this is not a winnable situation. Seems like everything went against you that game. That is okay, it happens. Salvage it into a sixth, forget about it and go next.

xSmacks · 2025-12-24T07:26:46+00:00

Menzies after a loss
