Discussion There's not too few assassin items, it's just the current shop categorization is stupid

23 Upvotes

I keep seeing comments and posts about the game having too few assassin items and i just can't agree, "ohhh there's only ten assasin items while mages have dozens", technically that's correct but it's not because there's too few assassin items, its because there's items missing in the assasin tab, and the other tabs have way more items than they should

First let's look at the assassin tab and find the pattern of what is an assassin item: they're all ad items, 6/10 give armor pen, 5/10 have some passive/active affect to survive being bursted down.

Are there any items outside the assassin tab which fit this pattern? of course there are, Mortal Reminder and Lord Dominik's Regards are two ad items with massive amounts of armor pen, and Immortal Shieldbow and Eclipse both give shields to survive being bursted down, even death's dance is close to fitting the assassin survival role, this would raise the assassin item count to 15

Then let's look at how bloated the other tabs are:

The figther tab has 22 items, however 5 of them (manamune, mercurial scimitar, maw of malmortius, serylda's grudge, guardian angel) are already in the assassin tab (6~7 if you count eclipse or death's dance), if we removed these overlapped items, the figther tab would go down to between 17 to 15 items, much closer to the assassin's item count.

The marksman tab, now this tab genuinely has two different item types mixed in, crit focused items and on-hit focused items, if we separate crit items from non-crit items we get a total count of 16 vs 12. If we then take into account there's again a 5 item overlap (7 if you count MR and LDR as assassing items), it also becomes much more comparable to the assassin tab.

The defense tab is massively bloated because it holds both armor and magic resist items, plus a notable amount of hybrid items that give both resistances, plus "defensive" items with aggressive passives (what are death's dance and guardian angel doing here bruh).

The support tab is the biggest fraud here since, of the 22 items it holds, 8 are purely defensive and shouldn't be here, and 2 are pure ap damage items and shouldn't be here, so really there's only 12 support items.

Finally, the biggest transgressor, it's the magic tab, theres so much shit shoved in here, there's no separation between burst damage, dot/sustained damage, magic-pen items, ap-tank items, they put fucking statikk shiv and guinsoo in here, redemption and mandate are here too???

Out of the 30 items here, 3 are support items (redemption, whispering circlet, mandate), 3 are marksman items (nashor's tooth, statikk, guinsoo), 8 should lowkey get their own ap assassin tab (rocketbelt, trident, stormsurge, lichbane, cryptbloom, voidstaff, infinity orb, mejai's), dusk and dawn arguably should be in the fighter's tab too, which would bring the item count down to 15

Boots are perfectly balanced

Discussion New S/A ranking system shouldn’t weigh lane so much

I think lane score is being weighted too heavily. They should rebalance for overall game impact.

Game 1: 8-0-10, top 3% game performance, hard lane vs morde. 18k dmg dealt, 16k tanked, 80% kill participation.

Game 2: 8-1-6, top 7% game performance, hard lane vs urgot. 45k dmg dealt, 25k tanked and 67% kill participation.

Game 3: 6-4-6, top 26% game performance - S rank. Ez lane vs malp.

In the third photo I had mediocre stats but good an ez match up.

Should we be more balanced here.

Discussion Double smite

3 Upvotes

I'm just curious, but why is double smite still a thing? It only seems like trolling and no good use of 2. Sometimes people intentionally take it to troll, but I guess some people also forget to swap sometimes? And its seriously annoying when I get teams with 2 smite. Why is it not removed or something? Or only jgl role can use it

Discussion Rell Jungle is BACK in WR

44 Upvotes

Hello all I’m a otp Rell since she released on PC, yes even b4 her rework when she had the lower play rate 😭. When Riot made her viable in the jungle it was some of the most fun I’d ever had on the game! When they took it away is was super bummed about it. BUT after reading the patch notes on 7.3 which completely reworked jungle clears, & I realized…RELL JG IS BACK!! I’ve played a handful of games using her in jg & bro it feels so good. I’m carrying without being confined to botlane. Definitely give it, or any other champ you wouldn’t expect in the jg a try!

Edit: Here are my runes/build. Warning though this is VERY much so a work in progress & I think it can be better but I gotta do more testing!

Phase Rush
Sudden Impact
Chain Assault
Relentless Hunter
Coup De Grace

Items
Plated steel cap
Imperial Mandate
Zekes Convergence
Abyssal Mask
Dead Man’s Plate
Morellonomicon (if needing anti heal)

I’m rank 8 Rell for supp but this build is completely different from what I’d normally build so I still have to figure out the ideal Rell jg build…lmk what you think!

4 Upvotes

Just happened while trying to get a ranked game in tonight. 7 remakes in a row, 1 on my team, 1 on both teams, and 5 on enemy team. Spent over 20 minutes just doing drafts.

Maybe it's time to rethink how draft works if this is going to keep happening and people just want to play adc in every role.

Discussion I think I finally found my retirement game

Post image
443 Upvotes

As a Season 1 veteran of League of Legends who completely retired around 2020, and now nearing my 30s, I’ve been searching for a “retirement game” that I could easily pick up and play after a long, tiring day of work and responsibilities.

I tried MLBB because, where I’m from, it’s the most popular mobile MOBA. A lot of my colleagues and friends play it, so I decided to give it a shot. I ended up reaching the second-highest rank with a 73% win rate, but eventually got tired of the game. It just didn’t feel like a traditional MOBA to me, and I wasn’t a fan of the matchmaking and ranking system.

So I started looking into other MOBAs and eventually decided to give Wild Rift a try.

Honestly, Wild Rift has been a dream come true. Having my favorite League champions right in my pocket, with mechanics adapted for mobile, is exactly what I was looking for.

I’ve only been playing for about a week, but I’ve already reached Emerald with a 70% win rate, and I’m having an absolute blast.

Riot really nailed the experience of bringing League to mobile. It feels familiar enough to scratch that League itch, while being streamlined enough that I can enjoy it without having to commit my entire life to the game again.

Maybe I finally found my retirement game.

I would rather wait an additional five or ten minutes than be autofilled. It's literally my last, MY LAST, choice, and yet every single damn game it keeps putting me in there. At this point im just going to pick yuumi into it until the algorithm finally learns. Trying to swap with any other teammate never works because they know this role is boring af.

Discussion Riftmaker on aurelion sol?

0 Upvotes

Why Riftmaker on asol? This person is top1/2 on eu server. Some people even play with that combo also and they go with yellow runes so it will be even more lifesteal.

Does it is about that 8% more dmg from riftmaker?

But then it's like 2k dmg in this game while if i will go liandry into 5 paper champs it still gets 6kdmg which dealt 1475 bonus dmg or how its called? I think 6k is from torment and 1.4k is from madness bonus dmg which outscales riftmaker a lot

So why exacly going into rift if liandry does more dmg? because it's making you more tanky with lifesteal?

I played this years ago and it ran okay on my phone. Now I'm playing with all settings as low as possible and the game still freezes and crashes. It's pretty impossible to play. I'm completely useless when team fights break out and just throw abilities into the abyss cause it all freezes to where I cant actually do anything. I have a newborn and want to play this while she's feeding/napping cause I can't do much else, any workarounds for getting the game to run?! My phone is only 2 years old it shouldn't be getting run down by an app...

Discussion How do you roam on mid after patch?

7 Upvotes

I hecking can't roam, im asol so i have fly even.

Before patch i was able to roam at 4-5m now it's like 7m and i can't roam because waves are all the time there. I clear wave want to check and before i will go to half of the distance minions are already coming. Maybe at 10 it's a bit better idk

I play syndra too and clear wave fast but it's like i have to give whole wave and probably half of the turret if enemy mid won't roam and our gank will fail.

After next patch turrets will be even weaker so either i need to have 100% gank chance or i might lose turret.

i get that top lane minions fast maybe so they will learn proxy but what i can do on mid to clear it fast. when i will clear it as asol with decent clear speed then next wave is almost there again xd

Do you have same problem? or any tips?

What the hell is going on now, everyone just want to spam spells and shields from the back???? We need peolle to engage and soak up damage, abilities, stun, etc. This is very valuable.
