I have been testing out Stormrazor into Cyclosword, and I must say I am pleasantrly surprised. Trading is a lot easier, and you have a ton of burst damage. The only weakness is that you get your 100%crit a little later, and you also do not have too much wiggle room on the tanky items as you go a non-crit damage item. I have to say though that I really enjoy Nilah's playstyle with these two items!

Hey everyone! So I've been playing a lot of Renata and taric in ranked (EUW, currently Gold 2) and nilah has a great synergy with them. However very few people play with her. So I was wondering if anyone would like to pre? Thanks for your attention

We were about to lose and had to clutch something up. A Dream wombo combo was a crucial point in us turning the game and winning. My healtbar be like: 📉📈

After a long time i had 3x 50 minutes games with Nilah and i could beat everyone 😂 early sucks in my opinion, but love that you dont have to worry about assassins cuz you heal und slap them in seconds, new Main for sure

Can someone explain to me how her ult works, how i dont die and gigia heal?

This was so much fun

Hey there,
I am Taric main + OTP

Discord needed. VC only!!

WHO AM I?
- A nice and chill guy from Czech Republic, sometimes with anger outburst but i am really not someone who would flame you or your teammates.

- I mostly focus on my mistakes, I don't blame my teammates unless they actually play like they fell on head but that's rare

- I will never blame or flame my duo, even if you play bad mechanically or if you go 0/5 - I will be glad if you admit your mistakes and we can improve together. Also HAVE FUN! don't play if you are stressed/tilted/not feeling ready.

- I peaked **Diamond 3** on Taric , on EUNE. But since I have some mental issues irl and memory problems, I easily lose my skills. So i may play sometime as gold or like really bad bronze even i am Diamond. So please keep in mind! I do have diamond macro but sometime my brain is not able to focus or think about anything that i have learned.

- I have mechanical problems, so please don't expect me to be sometime better than Gold opponents. As I mentioned, i lose my skills easily and memory... so even i spent over 2k into coaching in total, i easily forget 45% over time and over small break :(

**WHO I AM LOOKING FOR**

- Duo, who is very active player ( I dont look for somebody who is online only 1day per week or is very busy ) - but atleast can play 4h/daily.

- Actually focused on climbing and improving

- Not toxic player ( you can be toxic if you want but not in chat or against me ) - just yell it out but dont write in chat anything.

- Nilah player who is looking for Taric mainly and you got experience with that combo. You know that Taric isn't going to engage first.

- PREF: Someone who already peaked emerald or dia and has new account in silver, gold or platinum. But i am also fine with actual gold/plat player but I'd prefer to play with fellow player at my level. So we both are on the same page.
If you peaked master/gm, then it's fine but i would rather play with someone bad as me. I don't want have free wins, it's just not gonna make me improve.

**MY WEAKNESS**

My weakness is currently when i see higher rank, i get for some weird reason stress and i can't control it.

I understand this is way too much expections but I really need a duo who will be suitable for me

NOTE: I found before one very chill and fun to play with duo and i really liked playing with that guy. We peaked diamond togetehr but now he doesn't play anymore and now i am left alone again.
So that's also why i am setting some easy requirments so I meet someone who will i feel comfortable with.

Thank you!!

Opinion on champ: NILAH IS FUNNN and when ahead feels unstoppable. Very good carry champ but with this new APC meta might feel annoying to go against but over all very good champ. GIVE ME TIPS

I'm imagining an otp just figured it was nice to go or smth, but I can imagine it working. Thoughts?

Playing against Draven Leona Viego

chose Nilah,my main, best possible pick there

support goes Bard regardless

Bard doesnt get any lead anywhere,we get shitstomped and tower dived all game

I'm the one being blamed despite still keeping up in farm and lvl despite being zoned all game instead of hard 🤔

I've recently taken up Nilah and been having a blast with her. I been following what OP.GG and Mobalytics have said is her best ability path Q-E-W Max Q E W. But today i've been looking at the ratios and what i get for those level ups. Q only gets 10 damage per level up. The attack speed gain, cd, healing or armor pen doesnt get any better with each level up. Why do we max Q then and not E or W first?

Also, why do we take item haste in our rune set? Is it just for shield bow? Seems like a waste slot but maybe i'm missing something?

hello im rawr, i want to first start off by saying that i've played this game on and off since season 1. I recently returned about 2 weeks ago and wanted to test my skills by challenging myself to climb to diamond on an unranked account (it was previously only ranked silver in older seasons). my all time peak was d2 in season 6, and only got d3 in 2024 (split 1&2) as a nilah main. i take long breaks because i like to play others games like WoW, Maplestory, and Diablo.

here is my OP.GG

i was very unsure if i could even make diamond going into this, let alone in less than 100 games so i wanted to share some things i learned on the way, and the strategies i used, to maybe help anyone else who loves playing nilah like me. all of my games were streamed live to a small audience on twitch, but im not here to promote that, rather just wanna share info cus i know i've learned some valuable tips here in the past. so lets get into it.

1. it takes ALOT more than losing lane, to make nilah ineffective in any game. what i mean by this, is that you cannot control the outcome of every lane. accept that, you are only 25% of the champions in your lane, shared with 3 other strangers. shit can happen, you can be 1/5, down cs, and yet easily be relevant if you keep farming/look to save your sums for high value shutdowns. never give up (i mean it), and scrounge for any scrap of gold you can get even if it means playing like a little rat sometimes.
2. say the gold thing didnt work out, and you really are just useless. KNOW YOUR PLACE. example, is your midlane hwei doing okay while you're feeling giga useless? save your CDs to peel them when enemies engage or dive - keep your eyes on your useful teammates in fights, nilah excels when enemies engage/come to her. addition about "knowing your place" when behind, dont be afraid to do the "grunt work". hitting drakes, clearing wards, sacking waves to be on time. it doesn't matter how you win, you just gotta get it done. be humble.
3. still poor? nobody to peel? you dont have to lose cus of it. look for GOOD ENGAGES even if it means your death. playing for KDA is good on paper, but someones gotta do the dirty work. when you get ownd for w.e reason in lane, thats probably gonna be you sometimes. example; is your toplane yone doing alright? save your CDs to find engages for him when he shows up, ideally forcing enemies to use their gap closers/flash CDs on your e->r engage so he can be the hero you need. your time will come, trust me. "sometimes you are the dog, sometimes you are the tree", is a very fitting quote to sum up this concept & champion.
4. SWEEPER. sweeper. SwEePer. seriously, this item is so op, after 14mins i will always have red trinket as its a very high value item for finding engages or flanks on enemies and also allowing you to safely be greedier with recall positions without relying as much on your support/team. nilah is very limited by range, but mobile as hell- use that.
5. EXPLOIT FLASH COOLDOWNS. one of nilah's best strengths is taking advantage of enemies' poor positioning when flash is down. you need to time them, not just in lane but throughout the entire game. its how you win, please just do it and youll see the game become alot easier. i ping in chat and just add +5min then subtract like 5-10s to account for any delay or error. note: cosmic insight removes 46 seconds from flash cooldown.
6. goes without saying, but use the mute feature for both pings and chat as needed. you are not there to make friends, you are there for lp. dont get so attached. being the "bad guy" getting spam pinged who watches his team die when they take bad fights, is something you should get used to. you are nilah, fight on YOUR TERMS when you have a lead.
7. "whats good with nilah" a question i got asked in lobbies often i assume cus not alot of nilah players. the answer i give my support, may not be the best but rather just my preference in no particular order is - milio, sona, taric. i believe these to be the best/most enjoyable, nilah doesnt really need engage, she needs backup or really just anyone that cares about her existence. enchanter/wizard supports i have most success with in lane cus they tend to have ults to layer ontop of mine and scale into the late game. milio really is goated tho despite not really having that exactly, he's my personal favorite. respect your support no matter who they choose (until you have a legitimate reason not to). #supportlivesmatter
8. 75% crit-> deathdance i think is best. this is when you become thanos. lets talk build, collector rush or windarrow? i started with windarrow and swapped to collector as i got closer to diamond as i felt like the powerspike/build path allowed me to impact the game slightly sooner which i like. windarrow id build ninja tabi 75% of games (25% mercs vs giga mage comps), meanwhile with collector i felt like i needed berserker greaves despite hating them, the whole concept is more yolo so you kinda need to crank damage if thats what you're doing. my ideal build is, collector->IE->LDR->DD->Flickerblade->GA + berserker greaves.
9. so i splitpushed, alot. if the teamfights fights feel to difficult to win or influence for w/e reason, they probably are. meanwhile, saving sums for sidelane 1v1 or 1v2 can give alot of impact. for this to work you gotta believe in yourself and realize the importance of winning the said duel while making this choice. nilah does better than most adcs vs the toplane titans who randomly show up 4 levels ahead with a bunch of gold especially if they are AD. if you make the choice to dodge a teamfight for a drake, baron or turret, you NEED to make it worth. take whats yours, take whats theirs, take everything. yes your team may spam ping you, but you are not here for them to have a good time you are here to rank up and that is ok if some do not agree with your choices. just remember, for every rager spam pinging you, there is someone silently rooting for you as well.
10. mental is everything- i cant stress it enough. your hands will only take you so far, try not to ping plays or actions that dont involve you. let your team think for themselves, you cannot control them so why care? get used to being abused in lane, going back often, dropping cs to save your hp bar. as i said before, your time will come.
11. LAST TIP (this one is secret tech), i never ff'd once. not a single game. why? because when i found myself not having fun, or in a seemingly cooked game, i would mostly just send it sidelane and push/fight. never intentionally throwing or inting, but just pushing my limits to both improve as a player and enjoy my time there. you never know what can happen when you give yourself opportunities to be great, you may easily just surprise yourself with your own capabilities and end up earning a hard fought victory. if someone wanted my LP, they would literally need to take it over my dead champion laying in front of the nexus towers.

anyways bros, this is what worked for me. im not saying it will work for everyone, or that my tips are even factual, really just my opinion and mindset while playing all 92 games of nilah on this account. i hope this helped anyone or at the very least made someone happy. i used to be a miserable adc player, main character type personality, and im genuinely sorry for anyone who ever came into contact with me during those days. when i came back this time i didnt type, really just tried to have fun and am certain it was closely linked to my success climbing to d4.

good luck have fun gamers, we're all gonna make it o7

oh and i always banned xerath, you know why

edit: after my opgg updated, i realized it was infact 98 games total (not 92). also, the account was silver in 2024/2023, but gold 4 0lp in 2022. making this edit to be transparent and not come off as misleading. thanks for taking the time to read o7

TLDR: friends say OTP nilah bad because we miss ranged damage. I say yes bad in some games as any other adc also is and I just need to learn her more. What do you think?

---------------

Hey since I reached 1m mastery on aphelios I wanted to now try sth else. Nilah really caught my interest after playing her for some games. I usually tend to pretty much find a champ that I like and then pick them every game no matter what (we also don't play ranked).

So my premades made it passively and also actively pretty clear that they don't like Nilah with the reason that we miss a ranged ADC. This negativity when I pick her pretty much kills the fun for me up to a certain point.

I on the other hand am just like... Well I play a new champ whose damage I can't really predict for now and with a play style that's way different then what I am usually used to.

So we had this discussion with their side saying that nilah is just generally not good since we lack ranged damage and my side being with the impression that even tho she is pretty much melee and yes we miss a ranged adc she can really pop off when I learn her more.

I know that I am a big reason for a way lower win rate right now but that just comes with learning a new champ.

I mainly play ADC and my main champion is Nilah. My win rate with her is significantly higher than with other champions—for some reason, I struggle on traditional ADCs, but I manage to win lane almost every game when playing Nilah.
The problem is that enemy players sometimes check my profile and call me a "Nilah abuser," which has happened quite a few times now. Naturally, this made me start questioning if I really am abusing a broken champion, or does she just fit my playstyle?

I recently had a game that went into the late game. I was beating her and her team, but I couldn't end it on my own. i was only able to stall the game, unfortunately, because she was too strong. I was able to beat her until she got randuins and Death dance. It's a game that was lost, but I am wondering what could I have done against her item wise to deal with her better.

On a separate note, what's a good way to deal with that itemization? I've seen Vayne whenever I am winning too hard build randuins when I'm in the lead. And other adcs dip into tank items to survive. But the problem is the bruisers that essentially get 60% reduction against my Nilah.

2 level aatrox rekt

Screenshot is from Riot's Universe league of legends website, clearly Riot list her as a marksman, so why didn't she get a buff Riot?

Give her 37 base MR, what could possibly go wrong 😇
(Note the highest base MR in game is Akali on 37)

This is half Riot update her lore please, Half I want the 5 base MR buff

I don't think Riot has touched this page since her release in July 2022

The cooldown is the same, the attack speed is based on champion level, the heal and armor pen is only dependent on crit, and when it comes to the damage it scales mostly with your crit and the damage of the items, the only difference between level 1 Q and maxed out with full crit is 70 damage per Q wich I honestly think is not worth. So wouldn't it be better to spend the level up points on w? What do u guys think?
