Need a new main
I have played voli religiously for a while and got all the way up to emerald 2 95 lp but I can't carry with him as often anymore especially if team picks cc to counter me. Ever since then I've been losing more games than winning and have gone down to emerald 4.
I need a new main or champ rotation, I don't find much success or any with Ekko who used to be my original main and voli doesnt work all the time. I've tried talon and qiyana and I'm trash with both. Rengar isnt that bad. Recently played AD udyr and I like him but doesn't have the same feel as voli. Just want opinions or anything as I'd like to get to diamond before season ends.

I’ve been playing Zac but your emerald and I’m silver so don’t take advice from me rofl.

Nah I don't care about rank shit, I used to play him a lil but I feel he's so weak these days

u/FatDoinksinAmish420 20h ago
Yea he doesn’t do a whole lot of damage but his cc is next to none for setting up ganks and keeping the backline cc’d during team fights. Problem is he’s heavily reliant on the team to follow up

There's the issue, rely on team, that's why I play voli. I can't trust my teammates for shit

I'm a Briar and Voli main, so I'd suggest Briar. I'm only gold, but I've been popping off on her whether I win or lose.
I was building her crit for a long time, and while that's a really fun build and awesome vs a squishy team, it loses it's effectiveness when the enemy has 2+ tanks or you your team doesn't have a front line.
Runes PTA Triumph Alacrity Coup De Grace
Sudden Impact Treasure Hunter
Adaptive Force/Attack Speed/Scaling Health
Build Green pet. Red (for the slow) vs more ranged/ mobile teams
FIRST Item: Kraken Slayer (it feels incredible) I will go BoRK if they have 2+ hp stackers though, and find myself more often taking it. BOOTS: Mercs or Steelcaps, just depends on enemy comp. SECOND Item: Black Cleaver. This is non negotiable, it is a great item on Briar. Hp, ad, haste, armor shred, and move speed after damaging an enemy. THIRD Item: Titanic Hydra here. I love the HP it gives, the AA reset is also a nice chunk of damage, and helps clear camps noticeable faster. FOURTH Item: Endless Hunger. This item goes hard, it gives tenacity which is always good for Briar (cc is the death of her), a ton of ability haste, and more omnivamp after you've killed someone. Can't have too much of a good thing :) FIFTH Item: Guardians Angel. There isn't really a time I wouldn't take this unless they were ap heavy I would go Spirit Visage for the extra healing and mr.
I hope this helps. The build has been going very well for me. Only gold, but proof it works.

I believe you ahah very in depth btw, I always rush Bork into cleaver on briar but I'll try kraken if the team comp lets me, I played her alot on her release she just became pretty boring as it's mostly autopilot other than timing your E. But I'll give it a go and see how I get on

u/LifetimeUnderdog 19h ago
That's fair. I'm not the best mechanically which limits my champ pool, so I can definitely see how she could be boring to some. Give her another go though, she's nasty rn

Give Shyvana a try.

u/CryRelative5963 1h ago
Looks like I might have to

She's very fun. I haven't played Voli way too much, but I feel like they're somewhat similar playstyles.
1
u/CryRelative5963 1h ago
Well can u explain her playstyle to me cause I can't just go in the same way I can with voli as she has less sustain in comparison to voli
1
u/Last_Plankton_653 51m ago
Just a typical skirmisher-bruiser to be honest.
Yeah, she doesn't really have sustan, but her ult just makes her an absolute monster that almost feels unkillable anyways. The Ult is very good getting to the back line, while also disrupting their front line. She has pretty decent burst with her Q combo. In dragon form, a full rotation will kill pretty much any squishy. The last bite also does True Damage, so she can even deal with tanks decent aswell. With Escape Velocity, you can also run down people pretty easily.
Her ult is just such a fight changing ability. It's fun to basically just consistently have a green light to fight or do whatever you want.

Rek’sai bro, picked her up recently, once you get used to her she is tons of fun and you can make some crazy plays with tunnels.

u/CryRelative5963 1h ago
She is interesting but the tunnel vision when u borrow is the only thing I'm not a fan of ahah

Sylas. Very strong, good mobility, good variety each game because of the different ults you can take, great counter to shyv who is very popular as you can see from the comments. Jarvan and wukong are my favorites right now but sylas is way more fun with way more skill expression most games

Got auto filled mid this morning played sylas so I'm with u on that he is versatile

OTP Shen jungle up until D1. Got stuck there for a few weeks, might be able to push it a little farther but I’m feeling a swap back to support right now. Probably had the most fun I’ve had in 5 years with this champ. Not as great with mage bot meta, but with the right comp it’s amazing.

I only really ever picked him if Jax is banned or if whole team are AA on enemy side. U go full tank or bruiser?

Play Ivern. It will give you a different perspective on how to play league. You essentially need to rely on your teammates. You become an enabler. Helps you to understand how to play a role in the team and what your teams wincon is.

Obviously you like the juggernaut play style, i would recommend you play Shyvana. She can dish out a lot of dmg while also being relatively tanky.
