Yeah I wasn't talking bout lux in particular. Hats nice and all but honestly manaflow is practically mandatory for laning phase unless you want to flop about auto attacking

Or you can play midlane like before and actually manage your mana instead of blindly spamming spells

on lux you should 100% go Ultimate Hat because you want your ultimate to always be up on her and she doesn't have hideous mana issues lategame anyway.

Manaflow band is best on champions with enormous mana costs that tend to build huge mana pools and so benefit the most from the 8% max mana restoration as well. Like Anivia or Morgana.

Shaco seems okay right now honestly. His early ganks are pretty good with his mixed damage (ad shaco boxes hurt more now) and he transitions well to "erase one person" assassin.

I'm framing it from the perspective that a Shaco player will not do that and instead be a greedy idiot that squanders his lead.

I took Press the attack on MF and just took manaflow and scorch, felt much better. Also flexibile in that it works with both lethality build vs. a full squishy comp or Crit/AS build when there are significant tank threats.

Even if you go full Lethality build AS is still a good stat to have.

Morg's previous problem as a midlaner was two things: her waveclear kinda sucked, especially against cannon waves, and her utility in teamfights was almost entirely limited to landing a Q, dropping a Soil, and maybe running in and hitting R if you're feeling spicy. With the changes, waveclear is no longer an issue, and you can get 2-3 Soils rolling easily in larger teamfights, which is devastating against clumped teams.

dude her waveclear has always been among the best in the game, now it's just completely loving broken

She is still going to do the same damage with nearly no cooldown, so this does not change a lot about her offense and waveclear. Being that much more fragile will hurt her for sure though.

also, I was the Bard in that game. Klepto with sorcery 2nd (take manaflow and scorch) you do too much damage while also getting health and mana potions constantly in lane. He's super busted and it's trivial getting Frost Queen's Claim and Luden's Echo to just one shot their carries.

honestly early FF only matters if your teamcomp is focused on early or midgame winning. if you lose hard to a lategame scaling comp early you hosed up insanely hard and should probably surrender. If your team has a Vayne and Nasus on it then you are probably going to have to give up objectives early in order to maintain enough map control to survive to 40 minutes. If you don't like playing the long game then don't pick hyper scaling lategame champions and if your team does, then join them if you want to win.

So I was Azir in my last ranked match and had Nunu as my jungler. I was hyped to see the Nunu Azir combo but unfortunately he was too busy w'ing himself and chasing enemies in teamfights. Eh we still won but I feel like it is so hard to have any sort of teamplay in ranked.

The Nunu was a garbage player, plain and simple. Though, Nunu players are by default absolute garbage.

re: Probuilds chat, a lot of the time whatever they build might be in response to what the enemy team has. Too many bad players trap themselves into thinking they have to build a certain build every single game when certain items are more optimal than others. For example, in solo queue I had a feeding Vladimir midlane into the enemy Xerath that refused to build Spectre's Cowl when I told him it would help and instead opted to be worthless by finishing his Frost Queen's Claim asap. When asked why he said "this is what the pros build so I'm building it."

Don't be a goddamn mouth-breather. Use your critical thinking skills. Only the worst players go to shop without thinking about what they need.

If you really are as skillful as you claim you will climb given enough games are spent. Only advice is for you to look at what you are doing wrong because YOU are the only constant in your games. It's frustrating to have the team that dies multiple times beyond your control, but it happens and you just move on, hopefully learning something from your own play and improving it. No one ever truly masters this game or any competitive game, I'm sure even Faker learns about his own play and mistakes and improves upon them.

Like, my thresh pulling leona on top of me when both of us are at half health, or janna tower diving, midlane lasthitting in midlane while bot+jungle get assaulted at dragon etc.

Ill try this "carry harder" thing people talk about, ill let you know if it works out.

this mentality is a huge trap and part of why you will not progress. like we said, focusing on the mistakes of the 4 random people you get in solo queue isn't going to make you play better, because you cannot control with whom you are matched. you are the only constant factor in your games.

Champion winrate also matters more if the champion with a 55% winrate in question is being picked by 20%+ of players and hitting that 55% winrate mark, or the champion hits a high banrate (something like 40-50%+ banrate in champion select).

Nobody cares if .1% of players pick Mordekaiser and have a 56% winrate because it is highly unlikely for you to run into it. It's one or two players that only play Mordekaiser that are bumping up his winrate.

The 55% winrate Vayne mains that plague every other game if they aren't banned are a real balance issue because it negatively impacts the game when only one champion is so dominant.

You can do some off meta stuff but don't do poo poo that clearly 100% will not work, like the enemy Master Yi "Support" that went 0/6/0 in lane. I'm fine with stuff like Sion or Lux support because they do have the capacity to be useful.

Ivern support does not have the capacity to be useful because his laning is godawful and his stats are set such that he is much better off killing jungle camps than trying to sponge off a lane that is losing from level 1.
