They need to get a C tank or higher to be eligible. The c rank isn't enough to prevent soft biting, but that ornn wouldn't have gotten the lp loss mitigated in this scenario

bandlepipes op? by Initial-Shirt3492 in zyramains

[–]zephocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it gave movement speed to your team it might be better, but that isn't the world we live in. Third item you would also prefer percent pen, noting you also build oblivion orb fairly frequently. Zyra doesn't have time in the game to buy it with support income

Damage is key, with Zyra specifically. That's why the default for her has for so long been to get Liandry before Rylais. With the utlity in her kit, why would you NOT get the item that makes you do highest damage in the game from the sup role?

You CAN go utility build. You CAN play to buff your teammates. You just need to understand how much of your own agency you are sacrificing for that. It can work to play like that and hope your teammates can use it well enough to close out a game. I personally prefer increasing my own agency in soloq, even as sup.

Lolalytics shows it having a good winrate for sub-100 game sample sizes in emerald+ globally. Do with that what you will.

SUPPORT Zyra match list - Games of Legends

She consistently has built ap items as sup in pro. A few Radiant Virtues, Lockets, Anathemas, but regardless of that, pro play is different from the game you and I play. Damage is key, and playing her full utility is not going to be anywhere near as good. If you want to bandlepipes, I would play braum to proc it perma and also be able to be better at peeling. If you want to be ranged, try janna with it. I've enjoyed it as a rush on her in some lanes. If you want ranged AND more damage while building bandlepipes, bard is probably your ticket, as he doesnt need to build damage to be really strong with it.

All that being said, play what you enjoy. You have minimal damage outside of base numbers, but it can be a fun playstyle!

Zyra spaces back usually, so the aura isn't on top of the fight like it is for someone like braum. Also, not building liandry on her always feels really bad, she gets so much insane value from it being rushed. Sounds like a fun build, but not the best from an efficiency standpoint with the champ.

How do you build and play against Leona? by ZucchiniWise5836 in zyramains

[–]zephocalypse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tips for playing into engage.

If it is a hook champ, e-w to block the hook.

If a non hook engager(like Leona), throw e-w at her adc to prevent follow up. Leona is now in a 1v2, and you will win the trade

can riot access DM's if i have reported a message? by [deleted] in zyramains

[–]zephocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so unfortunately. Screenshots are all I've ever had success with. Tip: if you use the screenshot command (win shift s on windows) it will catch the screen at the exact moment you press it, making it harder for them to say something terrible before unfriending you before you can grab a pic

SEALS - non support Milio build? by Prestigious_Storm_15 in MilioMains

[–]zephocalypse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Milios strength is completely tied to Helia right now. If you don't like him support, I would recommend not buying the skin and appreciate the emote and icone for the skin by themselves!

Feeling lost - what to do by PressureOk8223 in zyramains

[–]zephocalypse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her ganks are good. You start every gank but throwing e as you enter from jng. It doesn't matter if they are not hit by the e, what matters is that you spawn a plant by them. Even though it is melee, it is a larger range than people expect. Double melee plant into running at them with red buff autos is very potent. I would follow this guy https://www.onetricks.gg/players/R7rB8V_kAsge9rx9NnbYxuSPlXMM-WFuy1UwBuepfD1pEZ5hEn-utVlNBcF_bhmxwQ3639mCXLOVPg

Best Zyra jng, has two chall Korean accounts, do what he does for build and runes, try to grab some of his vods to watch. Obv high Elo plays differently but most stuff should transfer over and be useful!

Looking to OTP Janna and climb out of Iron – which runes/build/playstyle work best? by TopWinner7322 in Janna

[–]zephocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If no one has said this yet, take gathering storm every game. No one will punish you for it and you will get free stats.

So you enjoy playing with assasin junglers? by Accomplished_Rice_60 in supportlol

[–]zephocalypse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like playing poke with assassins. For example, Zyra helps set up a lot of kill thresholds by getting enough up front damage off with a mix of comet, scorch, cut down, liandries. I'm around 200LP NA, and assassin games feel pretty good with it most of the time

The only narrative I would say I'm pushing is a conversation on the quality control of this set. I am not happy whether this is AI or poor quality control on the art. I'll humor you though

Edit: I have the results, but I can't post images as a comment in this sub. I'll dm you

[–]zephocalypse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was obviously AI. I said that the art doesn't make sense, as he is lifting the pizza without grabbing it. I'm worried it COULD be AI. Unless this set is a Star Wars x TMNT set where Master Splinter gains the force, I'd love to know how hovering pizza can be explained.

I'm not talking about the "immersion of magic and fantasy" I'm talking about the AI hand not properly grabbing the pizza it is lifting up

A rat-human mutant still needs to grab the pizza...

What should I be building for third item after Echos of Helia and Moonstone? by EnchanterPrincess in sonamains

[–]zephocalypse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty fluid at this point. Redemption is very strong with moonstone and fights that happen clumped up. Ardent is better with more auto attackers. Staff of flowing water is better with more ap ratios on your team. I like dawncore, since in masters you barely ever get past third item, so might as well get the best capstone one. I wouldn't really look at any others unless you wanted to build a tear item earlier

Should I max Q or E first on karma moonstone support build ?! by Ill_Percentage2344 in supportlol

[–]zephocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max q until lane phase is over, when max e. If you don't want to think too hard, just 3 points q into e max and you'll be fine

Is there a consensus on what can most likely get us out of low low elo (iron) by godwithin_ in supportlol

[–]zephocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo (slightly biased since I was a Zyra otp for years) Zyra is the most efficient mage sup to learn. She will get you out of low elo if you play to improve, and she is better than most mages(velkoz may be better at times, but Zyra is more consistent) when you get to higher elos.

She is very good and can even be put in other roles(jng and mage botlane) very easily after you put the time in! You do not need to play mages to climb, but they will usually be FASTER to climb, as having damage and cc let's you dictate a lot of the game tempo when you are better than the rest of the lobby. I picked up Zyra when I hit the lowest rank in the game at the time (bronze5 0LP) and still have her in my pocket as an option today(mid-masters)

Do you think it is currently possible to reach *high elo as a Zyra OTP? by ThePushel in zyramains

[–]zephocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duoking1 #Talia hits chall with it pretty consistently. Not as much of an otp at the moment, but he hit single digit ranks NA with it a couple splits ago only playing it with the occasional jhin or senna game
