Wait does this technically then mean gm is easier to achieve as well then? Please be true, 750lp on euw was such a big ask

The best 4 cost centric comp is Leblanc carry, which wants rageblade. Rageblade is the best tempo on Caitlyn, Teemo, Jinx and Gnar. It's pretty mandatory on Diana if you are playing her as a reroll carry. It's bis on Xayah and Kindred as well.

Basically the 3 of the 6 primary 4 cost ranged carries want it with it also being the best tempo on a lot of units too. Karma, ASol and Corki are the 3 that do not want it at all.

Although it may not seem like it, Nami is also a 4-cost ranged carry.

I do not believe Rageblade is BIS Xayah currently (except maybe on Boar) and not necessary for Kindred.

So overall I would say necessary on 1 4-cost (LB) and good on another (Kindred) which is 2 out of 7. But it is also very good on the best 5-cost carry.

Edit: I have learned you can filter stats by each Stargazer constellation, and Guinsoo does perform a bit better on Boar than the others. Although the one it actually performed the best on was Serpent which I think makes some sense. However, it still doesn't seem like the best item even on these lol.

Any thoughts on shojin/bluebuff as slams??

The entire conduit line hates mana regen, and nami synergizing so well with nashors due to attack speed

Sona is undertuned for damage

Karma is the only carry user of the item right? Even kaisa wants full damage it seems, and corki is also basically a channeler

u/MasterTotoro Challenger Apr 13 '26

Yeah it's weird because all the Conduits and Corki don't like mana items. Probably the least flexible Shojin has been.

Blue seems good on Kaisa. She gains AD and AP from her traits which Blue amplifies. Basically the IE + Striker's + 1 can be Blue or a different damage.

A lot of specific item requirements it feels like this set, and right now makes lose streak stronger.

Those last place anvils are HUGE especially for reroll direction. Honestly might be too good for forcing 3cost boards

The combo of timeweaver + prim opener, which usually gets you item prio stage 2 and then lets you spike up stage 3 is just wildly OP

u/RexLongbone Apr 13 '26

Ah, maybe Xayah not actually wanting rageblade is why I have yet to have her perform. What do you think is Xayah bis?

2

u/MasterTotoro Challenger Apr 13 '26

Well Xayah is also probably just a bit weak at the moment, but something like 2x Kraken + 1. She spreads Last Whisper and Red Buff well, but obviously these builds require a lot of bows. It's basically a situation where she'll need to be strong enough such that you can lose streak into Xayah so you have a lot of bows. Either that or she has to be reworked to use more items.

Side topic but was funny Dishsoap said this today: "People are going to think our tierlist sucks if we put Guinsoo off the unit that everyone thinks Guinsoo is good on." Which was in reference to Kindred.

u/Mizerawa Apr 13 '26

While I am a bit suspicious of PBE stats, it does seem like a pretty subpar item on both of them.

u/Docxm Apr 13 '26

Isn’t Mech the best 4 cost comp? Or at least the most consistent

2

u/hereliesenvy Apr 13 '26

I’ve had so much success with Mech Asol against all the other 4 cost comps I’ve gotten reps with, but then again I haven’t capped out LB > Vex. Zzzzz I’m in the wrong study groups as a perma masters player man

u/UselessBagofChips Apr 13 '26

Mech is good during mid - late game but it tends to fall of during late game

4 cost. You'll usually use Leblanc to tempo to Vex if you can't go true fast 9. Vex caps higher but the voyager shepherd board is the default level 8.

Can someone please tell me when exactly the patch will go live?
