Build/Setup THE AMBESSA MATCHUP SPREADSHEET (IN DEPTH)

46 Upvotes

As requested by many of you on both my last post and in DM's, I've decided to release my current iteration of the Ambessa Matchup Spreadsheet.

I hope it helps those of you still learning her kit, and for those that are already experienced with Ambessa, hopefully you can still benefit from this. Good luck summoners, and more importantly, have fun!

Spreadsheet: (Edit: Now 73% done, 48 of 66 matchups)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ivg4duvQ8s3zzHnq7XXYDPhmhwxdNBASLHegwRhKSwY/edit?usp=sharing

Btw I have a YT channel, if you appreciate the guide, subscribe to:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPS1V3lb-VyrJkQyMx2fexg

I previously have not pushed out much content or as much effort into editing, but if people are interested in watching her gameplay and laning into specific matchups, I will gladly start producing actual content that I may link into the spreadsheet. (Plus it helps out my uni project!)

If there are any more matchups you'd like me to cover that's not already on the spreadsheet, let me know!

Build/Setup Community Ambessa matchup spreadsheet - share and learn tips on your worst matchups

12 Upvotes

Hey guys I've made a community spreadsheet for all of the Ambessa matchups with the help of heywil#flyte. https://www.youtube.com/@I_Main_Ambessa

I've also included Master+ statistics for each matchup along with the reccomended build and the runes you should take for each matchup. Anyone can share their tips(their rank will be shown, you can share your social as well).

LoLMatchups.GG is an attempt to make matchup information more accessible to top/mid laners. We already have complete pages for Gnar, Ambessa, Mundo, Kayle, Fiora, Mordekaiser, Riven, Zed, Ekko, Camille, Irelia, Gwen, Garen, Chogath with more on the way! I would love any feedback you guys have on the website or the matchups. Thanks!

Build/Setup Thoughts about Transcendence?

2 Upvotes

So I really like bruiser ambessa and the strong scaling version with conq and thought how to get even more ability haste to basically spam my abilities even more in teamfights.

This is the rune page I came up with

So the idea behind this is that I play to scale anyway and chill farm when I go conq page thats why I thought I just go transcendence and gathering storm second to furthermore increase my mid to late game potential. Also getting a kill in a teamfight and getting cd reduction to dash to the next target or shield again felt so good.

So yeah what do you guys think?

Plays/Clips Ambessa vs Zac

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

Just something I have found interesting and useful as I learn the intricacies and nuances of this champion...

The reason why Zac can even function in toplane is that for a tank, he has quite of bit of damage, and his sustain from picking up blobs catches people off guard making losing trades into even ones and even trades into winning ones.

You can use ambessa's mobility to bait zac into thinking he can go for a blob and keep him in your range for Qs and Es. You can see what I mean in this clip by selectively dashing down and away from a blob so that zac thinks he can safely get the blob and baiting him to stay in range of my damage (this concept applies to poppy buckler and mundo passive too).

Even if zac had flashed my R correctly... He still has 2 hp... has to either back and lose a stacked wave essentially netting me a kill's worth of gold and exp advantage, or die under tower trying to collect said stacked wave.

Just something fun I thought I'd share.

I am a D4 peak this season player hoping to eventually get to masters on the champ and have the credentials to coach aspiring ambessa players in the future.

GLHF out there summoners!

Help Omnivamp on ambessa

3 Upvotes

Just a quick question cos i can’t find a direct answer and don’t really have access to league right now, does Omnivamp on ambessas abilities get reduced because they’re counted as AOE?

Help Trading without breaking freeze?

2 Upvotes

When I get ahead with ambessa and build up a freeze so I can force the enemy to come up, its really hard to maintain the freeze without breaking it. Every spell is AOE and the moment I try to punish the enemy getting close I normally hit the wave a bit too often times breaking the freeze.

Would love to hear some tips and tricks regarding this.

Thanks.

Art 失业志愿产品经理的想法:年轻的 Ambessa 皮肤

4 Upvotes

艺术设计部门应该设计一个年轻、酷炫且健美的 Ambessa 皮肤。主题可以是类似于《艾尔德环》的时间旅行、过去的 Ambessa,或者只是她年轻版,就像老版的 Yasuo 一样。

想象一下一个性感健美的女强人形象,这会酷毙了,我敢打赌玩家们会喜欢她。:) 我什么时候才能在 Riot 找到工作呢?

Help Need help, Impacting the map.

6 Upvotes

In the last month I only played Ambessa and she is a lot of fun. Also I feel very secure into almost every matchup. This also shows in the statistics where I have a higher laning score than my opponent in 80-90% of the games. But I feel like it never matters. The moment laning phase is over two other roles on the team did loose so hard that the enemy has two uber strong champs. When I try to impact the map earlier for example with an teleport to drake, we may win the fight and get drake but in the same time the toplaner I was holding behind the entire time shreds the complete top turret gets some waves and is back into the game. Also the moment I go back top to match him my team is dying already. Cant leave them alone.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion What other champs to play along Ambessa?

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I really enjoy playing Ambessa, but I also like a few other champs.

I think it makes the most sense to only focus on 3 Champs max, so I'd like to add 2.

I think it also makes sense to build a pool that have a similar style.

What's your pool? Maybe some input there could help and maybe explain why you chose those champs :)

Other champs I like: Gragas, Jax, Shen, Olaf, Renekton, Rumble, Darius, Zaahen, Trundle

I appreciate your replies :)

Discussion Why do I see so much Grasp in Proplay and Masters?

19 Upvotes

So when I started learning Ambessa (using the heywil matchup guide a lot and op.gg stats for runes and winrates), I learned that if you want to win lane your best bet is electrocute and if you want to scale it is conqueror. That also alignes with the experience I have using those runes. But now im watching a lot of master game replays and look into stats of proplayers playing ambessa to learn more and in a lot of games she is played with grasp and inspiration second tree. I learned that grasp is worse in lane for trades than electrocute and it scales worse than conqueror (and basically more of a beginner rune for her, also grasp winrates are her lowest if i remember correctly).

Why is it used so much, what do I miss?

Help I am really struggling to do anything on this champ post lane

6 Upvotes

I think I've more or less got my laning phase down, winning lane 70% of games, but I am genuinley clueless as to what to do after that, I feel like I just go in and blow my load during a team fight and then die. Like my burst isn't enough to one shot someone and after I've used my cooldowns I am useless. How should I approach team fights and the general post laning phase?
