| Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:49 PM PST Hello, Reddit! My name is Ben & I used to be a professional/semi-professional League of Legends analyst. I worked primarily in NA as an analyst focusing on items, runes, and masteries (RIP). But I also spent time in other various coaching, analyst, and content creation roles for challenger, collegiate and amateur teams. I gave up my dream of getting picked up full-time by a LCS organization when I got engaged in 2017 & thus retired to focus on my full-time professional career as...an analyst (Surprise!). I have recently been working on rebuilding my systems and updating all of my old data so that I can get back into Item Analysis for fun! As such, I'm here today to answer any questions you have about items & runes, as well as to answer general questions about build path optimization, item spikes, etc.. I'll be here for the next few hours and (depending on popularity of this thread) will continue to come back for questions that take a little longer to answer throughout the next several days. OK - That's all I have. Feel free to start asking questions! (If you'd like to ask about optimal build paths for specific champions, please include the following information: Champion, Role, Preferred Style of Play (aggressive in lane, splitting, etc.), & (optional) what you're currently building. The more info, the better, as I can be more specific in my answers - so if you're struggling with specific matchups, feeling useless in the mid game, or even just think you found the next OP strat, make sure to detail as much as you can so that I can help you to the best of my ability!)

| How to play vs Yas/Akali/Kata mid and assassins in general? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 06:56 AM PST As dumb as it sound these champs among s the other 'assasins' are making me wanna flat out uninstall this game. I'm still pretty new and like to play mages mid, anivia, lissandra,aurelion etc Vs other 'normal' mages/spellcasters I feel okay as I they seem to have actual cooldowns, and abilities I can at least attempt to dodge and have fun even if I lose my lane but these assasins/assasin style mids(?) are something else. They dash like 5 times within a span of 2 seconds. There is no way to get away from them and flash just feels useless cos they'll just dash again or use their flash. I can't land a CC cos they're all over the place even if I do, that measly 1 or 2seconds isn't enough for me to get away, and even then If I do get back under tower it doesn't do anything as they just dive me and get out with like 1 tower shot on them. Probably sounds like a salty rant but this shit is killing the game for me... [link] [comments] | ||||||
| What is considered good vision score (jungle)? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 10:18 AM PST I was recently inspired to improve my warding after seeing Jankos with 150vision score. After some practice I came to the conclusion that I should always have 2 control wards in inventory. Then I swapped eyeball for ghost poro. And after seeing that zombie ward is like 3 times better than ghost poro, I finally went with that rune setup. I have gotten 82 vision score at 40minutes and I'll try to keep it consistent. I was wondering if my vision score is on, say dia level. Obviously I can't even compare to Jankos. But just how close am I? [link] [comments] | ||||||
| I(Challenger peak, current GM fizz main) coached a plat fizz today. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 07:14 PM PST Yo guys, I don't really post much on here because most of my learning happens by watching pro games/analyzing own mistakes etc. However, I get some of you like to discuss topics on here to improve. I thought I'd share the video (1 hour of me coaching a plat fizz main) since it might help some people on here with macro/decision making stuff and just add a new perspective. Have played every role except support to high diamond in the past seasons but Currently like to main Mid Fizz :P. Anyway, a lot of the things in here are universal and not exclusive to fizz or mid and may prove helpful. I hope you guys enjoy/learn something new and for the higher elo folks, perhaps its a new perspective. heres the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9gGdLnB8RQ&feature=youtu.be Hopefully its not against the rules o.0 i'm not sure 100% If you'd like to discuss stuff from the VOD review or further questions, I can answer here but going to bed soon so respond to em in the morning. Current OP.GG of try hard smurf If it gives some credibility. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=GG%20EZ%2015%20FF Hope the video helps glhf Edit: I didn't know the language/flame was a problem for people (it was just a video of a guy coaching someone he knows who's with the banter lol but i guess i should have clarified that) still, having a better attitude ain't a bad thing so I can aim for it next time. P.S I'm NOT a coach, I'm a player, I just coach people sometimes xd Reaching me for coaching or other reasons: https://www.twitch.tv/lobex [link] [comments] | ||||||
| How to help a friend who was demoted in rank. Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:06 AM PST 10 months ago, I introduced league to a few friends. Only one of them really sticked to the game and kept on playing. We only get to play a few times a week because of work and schedules but he tried his best to learn from those few games he played and I had fun discussing League stuff with him. He set his sights to platinum as he play ranked games. He was gold 2 three days ago and he was very hopeful at reaching plat, but now, he got demoted back to gold 3. He said that players become very good all of a sudden (which I suspect some sneaky boosting accounts). He seems very depressed about it. I duo'd with him when he got demoted and he just lost all energy in the following games. As a friend, what can I do or say to help him. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| The real step for improve from d4 to something better Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:56 AM PST Hi guys, i have 2 acc in euw atm : tmaaxel984 (d4 2,5k+ games) and xrxiris (250 games d4 too), for me reach this rank isnt a problem honestly (i reached it first time on my main acc on late summer something like that and still here), my smurf got demoted some days ago to p1 75lp and i did again the d4 so easy, after is the problem, what i have to do for improve from here? i have some problem of vision for the rest idk what is my others problem (ofc i have some bad games like all but i cant carry 90% of my games like in plat ecc), i play my favorite champs and try my best, where and how i can learn to get better? sry for my bad english isnt my first language.

| Why am I so incredibly bad at Top, compared to ADC? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 11:36 AM PST I'm not even sure what else to say. After being autofilled top and feeding one too many times, I decided to start queuing top and learn the position. But...I just get curb stomped almost every game. I don't understand what is so different from playing bot lane that I am this much worse. I get being a bit worse, but this is just painful and confusing. I'm currently Plat 2 (hit diamond a couple years ago, haven't played much since). [link] [comments] | ||||||
| SoloQ Ranked End Of Season In Diamond+ Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:32 PM PST Hey guys, I just have a short question. People talking always you should not play at the end of the season because there are many smurfs and elo boosters in this period of time and people are getting reall quick really upset in the game. Does this also apply to Diamond+? I mean im pretty sure if you get to diamond or master it gets harder and harder to "smurf" because the people are going to be the same rank as the actual smurfs rank. Greetings to all you summoners out there! [link] [comments] | ||||||
| Is Taste of Blood actually any good? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:20 PM PST Looking at the stats that Taste of Blood is supposed to get, it seems fairly worthless, even with the higher scaling it has for AD characters. The other runes on that tier seem to be much more worthwhile, whereas ToB doesn't look like it'd be worth taking even for heal-based characters like Aatrox. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:30 PM PST Hey guys, now I know this sounds like a stupid question but I really can't figure this out. I'm fairly new to this game (less than half a year) and play nasus top, and am sitting squarely in silver. I take conqueror and ghost because of a guide I read that recommended it and have been having success, also I haven't had as much success with grasp. I feel like a lot of lanes I can't use grasp at all if I have it. Such as renekton, mordekaiser, darius, kled, jax, camille...if I get in auto attack range I am automatically dead. But grasp has to be the most common choice for a reason, right? Am I doing something wrong? I'm still not very good at the game, so I'm not sure. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| What is the best way to evaluate your performance Posted: 05 Nov 2019 08:07 AM PST Hello all I am a jungle main who is ranked silver IV. I love the game playing in normal mode, however somehow I have a win rate of 25% in ranked. My win rate in normal is around 60%. This low win rate is obviously because of my skills which are not great. But the toxicity and flaming in ranked isn't helping either. However lately I am wondering whether I should reconsider my role choice. I play jungle mostly because I loved heroes like Warwick, Xin jarvan Vi. I am currently thinking, maybe I should just try too and see what it does with my winrate. Or is there something else I could use to evaluate my performance. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| How do you comeback after losing early? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:06 PM PST I'm Gold right now, and I've noticed a common pattern in a decent amount of my games. Usually, one team gets a few kills and a few towers early game, and eventually the losing team just holes up in their base and bleeds out until they lose the game with little to no towers taken all game. Now I've been on both ends of this and I was just wondering what the best thing to do in this situation is. Would a good idea be to split push and maybe sacrifice your life to get a tower?

| Jungle Shaco guide (88% win D2 KR) Posted: 05 Nov 2019 11:55 AM PST VIDEO CAN BE FOUND HERE! Hi, I am LuckyGnom and today I am presenting you a guide on jungle Shaco. Hopefully you will like the guide and it will help you to get your desired rank in the last weeks of season nine. At least, in my case copying this player helped me a lot. In this video I've analyzed gameplay of a korean player that was able to get d2 with 88%-win rate by one-tricking Shaco. You will get all info you need in order to start playing like him: runes, items, summoners, jungle path, his playstyle features. If video will get enough interest, I will also make an full analysis video of one of his games. Good luck on the rift! [link] [comments] | ||||||
| Posted: 05 Nov 2019 01:09 PM PST So I started playing League a couple of months ago, I picked up Shaco just because I thought his kit looked interesting and fun and here I am now as a Shaco one trick. I was placed Bronze 3/4 initially and I've climbed to Silver 1 so I feel i'm developing a decent sense of the game / mechanics / etc, but I wanted to seek out some advice for unfavorable match ups. I played a game today and the enemy team consisted of Malphite, Dr Mundo, Azir, Volibear and Xayah. I have never felt more useless in a game, it felt like I wasnt doing any real damage to anybody and so, what im asking is, if you play Assassin oriented characters, and run into a predominantly tanky team, what should i be looking to do? I usually play a bit more passive until i feel like its an appropriate time to Q in, but I felt like during those fights that time never came. If anybody can offer me some insight as to how to combat these teams / match up I would be very grateful. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| How to play against better lane opponents? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 03:14 PM PST Context : I'm going to compete this week-end against friends. I don't consider myself very good at the game, I main ADC and enemy botlane should crush us. Comms with all my team. How to play against people who're supposed to defeat you? I play strong characters in the meta but even with practice and confidence, I can't find out how I'm supposed to win this. They're usually playing champions with good all-in/follow ups or with a lot of poke. I don't think I perform well enough in lane to win it and struggle to play from behind in mid game. Advice appreciated ! [link] [comments] | ||||||
| How do I stay relevant in the late game as an early game champion? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 05:41 AM PST So, I've been playing Elise in the jungle for a while now, though I'm still unranked. She's been an absolute blast to both play as and learn, she feels very nice to play as, and learning to get creative with rappel and using the web shot effectively has been a great experience for me. However, I've found a problem. One thing I've been trying to figure out, not just as Elise but as pretty much any champion that is strong early and falls of late, is that I eventually just become a burden and fail to really do much of anything besides getting the odd pick. I don't know if this is all I can be doing, or if I should be doing something else instead, and could use some advice from someone with more experience. [link] [comments] | ||||||
| How do I team right with assassin's Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:00 PM PST My laning phases are usually pretty smooth. I almost always win in farm and maybe get a few kills as well. But whenever fights start happening I start to struggle with stuff like Akali, zed, talon and more. I eventually run in and die 8 times till I either lose or my team wins. Any tips? [link] [comments] | ||||||
| Posted: 05 Nov 2019 01:43 PM PST So I'm fairly new to the game. Looking at domination tree, I see a lot of builds recommend eyeball collection. I'm trying to understand the similarities between the three. For ghost poro and zombie ward, do the stacks (the 10 that you have to build) go away if the poro/zombie go away? Or are they permanent stacks like eyeball? And if they're permanant, why should you use eyeball over the others when it provides no additional utility, while poro and zombies give extra ward utilities? [link] [comments] | ||||||

| Posted: 05 Nov 2019 10:42 AM PST I am a gold 1 jungle main and I like to play Zac but I can go for other junglers but Zac is currently my main guy, anyway I wanted to know how to improve on jungling in the early game, specifically when to ignore farming and focus on ganking and the other way around too. I can master champions easily, well to a certain degree of course but at least I know how my champion works and the most efficient way to jungle with him like for instance I know that I can do both Blue and Gromp at the same time with Zac. But my main problem is the mentality in jungling as a whole and when to gank and what to focus on like should we take dragon, should I focus a lane, should I push a wave with my ally, what to do when I gank but don't get a kill? What to do when you are obviously smashing the enemy jungler and when he is smashing you? those are my questions and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am from Croatia so English isn't my main language so sorry if the sentences sound weird... kek :v [link] [comments] | ||||||
| Friends give up on games too easily, how doni convince them to try? Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:59 PM PST I play leauge alot with friends and when they think the game is unwinnable they dont try. One friend he is the real problem he mains teemo and will go afk under tower when he get "cheesed" or has a bad laning phase. My other friend tries at least but keeps on trying to convince me a game is unwinnable. They type in all chat calling me dumb for thinking a game is winnable and at that point im fed up with them. My motto is "everygame is winnable" i know this is not true all the time but i like to think that way cause its good to have a good mental What are some things to keep track for in a game to help convince my friends to atleast try?

| When to choose to go for CS and when to choose to forgo CS for a random fight Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:58 AM PST I've always fallen victim to the trap of just joining fights whenever I can instead of trying to look for the best way to maximize CS in a game so even if my CS is alright during early game, it tends to fall off later since I'm not focusing on managing side waves. This isn't something that's been hugely impactful on my main as a jungler but I've been playing ADC on my alts to help with this. I've been consciously taking the choice to not go for fights that have a lot of variability and instead going for consistent CS. Now I did this in a recent game and I felt like it did impact the game quite a bit (My decision to farm instead of joining a fight I felt shouldn't have started in the first place) but when thinking about it, I would choose the cs over the fight 10/10 times since it was easily 3 waves worth of CS that I would be giving up to the tower. I did get flamed the whole game for it and proceeded to get ganked nonstop after it so it looks even worse but I'm not sure what I could've done there after the whole fight (other than maybe not E'ing into them during a certain tower push lol) Here's the replay file if it's possible to use this to check my game, the fight happens around 8:35. I checked the fight around the time that Lee jumped onto leona and died after and figured the fight was lost anyway, especially when I saw Yuumi die on my kill feed. If I was there, I'm sure Renekton and I could've sweeped them easily but the fight had so much variability that I felt it wasn't worth it. If this happened in a game, what would the optimal decision be given no foresight? Should I have just let the wave crash and go for the fight? When I was climbing to Diamond as a jungler I would normally just forgo clearing camps to be at every fight possible because I can't trust people to win fights by themselves. When I watch guide videos from players like Saber, he preaches going for consistent plays and I felt like the CS was a more consistent choice than going for that fight. Here's my op.gg if that helps with anything too fyi no flame please I'm not a great mechanical player and Australian internet is shit (I get random ping spikes that last for 5 seconds that I can't control) xd I normally just play Rek Sai, Nunu, Kayn on my main lmao [link] [comments] | ||||||
| A question for bot mains: How do I play around passive support players? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:13 PM PST I started to main bot (ad) about 2/3 months ago (used to play mid). I'm really good at reading ganks & playing up. So whenever I get a support that plays passively it really frustrates me. Since playing passively lets the enemy do more than they should be allowed to, like getting uncontested vision/cs/winning a lane they should lose etc. So my question is what can i do to win or at least break even if my lane partner won't contest anything? Should i play passively as well? Should i try to freeze the lane? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||||||
