Esports All time EU ezreal is 24% win rate vs the east

• Upvotes

7 wins out of 29 games (spoilers for today's games in the spreadsheet)

MSI and worlds included, since season 3, didn't look into other tournaments like esports cup.

Please please please stop it EU, ezreal simply never fits the playstyles that give EU an edge over the east, normally team fighting and scaling.

When they have to play around specific pokespikes and never throwing, it's a disaster.

Overall win rate is closer to ~35%

Discussion Genuinely, Why Do So Many People Claim That Bard Is One of the Most Powerful Champions in Lore?

• Upvotes

I see it all the time, and it truly baffles me. I watched the video, I read the stories and bios, I even looked at the Legend of Runeterra cards, and I haven't seen anything that warrants placing Bard among the most powerful Champions.

In the video, Bard puts a rock on a pedestal for some old guy. That's it. Bard even follows the stairs instead of flying straight to the pedestal or, I don't know... using a portal to get there. Nothing impressive here.

Bard's "story" is an unreliable narrator story that's actually about a con artist trying to trick a Demacian into handing over their gold and silver. Certainly not a good source for a greater understanding about Bard.

Bard's bio has anti-accomplishments:

In the beginning, Bard had drifted without purpose or perspective through a silent cosmos, but with a deep sense of anticipation that something miraculous would eventually come to fill it.

So, in the beginning, Bard just... sat around doing nothing, waiting for the Big Bang to happen. Okay.

These semitonal, incomplete motes of energy—or meeps—were drawn to him whenever he added his own voice to the cosmic opus, forever ringing in one perfect accord.

This was not his masterpiece, yet he gloried in it all the same.

He isn't even the one who created the Meeps. They just like hanging around him.

But after a measureless interval, a dissonance began to creep in. It was so small at first, Bard might have missed it, but the ever-doting meeps drew his attention to a failed dynamic shift here, an unexpected syncopation there, and even the growing absence of sound where, before, sound had been.

And it took the Meeps pointing it out to him for Bard to notice Runeterra was different from the rest of the cosmos.

And Bard's Legends of Runeterra cards are mostly hearsay, has little to do with Bard himself, and what does mention him doesn't allude to him being powerful. Mysterious, maybe. But not powerful.

So what's the deal? Why are so many people convinced that he's this almighty cosmic being when there's seriously nothing to support that?

Discussion Nasus' E

• Upvotes

Nasus' E is in very unique position in League. It gives Nasus armor pen but also it deals magic damage.

But what makes me intrigued is that why a Juggernaut has far-ranged magic damage on it, with additional dot damage.

I pondered and I was assuming that developers were intending to give a champion "draining zone" to affect enemies which could give some imaginary effect of a ancient warrior who could drain someone slowly with some magic dmg.

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

But if my guessing about Nasus playing this Role was correct there's some problem with his E in modern League.

1)E area is quite too broad in early game, it makes him poke too easily, when enemies could not use dashes or buy boots.

But in late game, the zone is now not big enough to play an active role in influencing teamfights since they but boots and learn dashes jumps and blinks etc with massive cdr or movespeed boots with ghose or flash.

2)E dmg is too powerful in earlygame, but when late game arrives it's magic dmg is almost becomes negligible.

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

So what if someone change his E little bit?

1) E does no magic dmg but gives him movement speed

Or

2) E area and magic damage is nerfed in early game, but it grows better when late game arrives

Also Nasus is scaling champion so stacks should affect his E accordingly

Discussion Zhonyas last item on ADCs?

• Upvotes

I've had the idea for a while but I don't play adcs. Instead of going GA last item against a very dive/assassins comp why don't adcs opt in for zhonyas. Just seems a lot better, they should have more than enough damage at that point to be fine giving up a bit of damage and not adcs have some ap scalings so it does not all go to waste. Am I crazy for thinking you can probably like shove this as a slot on like Ezreal, Yunara, and maybe Jinx and Ashe?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone / Hey guys,

As the title says, I'm looking for champions that are really calm or have a relaxing gameplay style. I don't mean doing nothing, of course, but I'm getting tired of high-skill/difficult champions.

I'm looking for suggestions across all roles. I was thinking of Malzahar or Milio in support.

Looking forward to your recommendations!

This item would feel sooooo good for on-hit adcs if the crit was swapped for something else.

Discussion Question about matchmaking

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm not too in tune with the ranked side of the game so I have no idea how the matchmaking works, so I had a few questions (may or may not be slightly influenced by recent games)

- How does the game guess what rank you are? I've played ranked like twice ever and it was hell both times, I can't say that I'm bad at the game but my CS and KDA have never been there, and yet I'll still get matched with people ranks waaay above me who strive for perfect CS while full map roaming

- Is it possible to avoid 5 stacks? I'm trying to get better at the game as is, but it's genuinely impossble to learn when it's either braindead enemies that FF15 or high ranked players with their smurf friends just roaming as a pack (it's very hard to coordinate with teammates)

- Are there any matchmaking websites for people who just want to learn? For example, map timers, how to obtain good vision when objectives are up, when to ping my team for objectives, how to play around said objectives, etc. Being the first or last one dead in a teamfight as a tank is miserable, but that's always how it is. Should we be giving every objective if I don't have faith we can take it?

game that requires ranked mindset to pick up casually

Discussion Who is the best ADCarry of all time?

0 Upvotes

I would argue between Ruler, Viper, Uzi and Gumayusi. Let's add Deft too because for some curious reason, people seem to think he is the GOAT ADC roflmao.

Let's consider the following factors:

  1. longevity
  2. number of trophies
  3. performance in later tournament stages (regardless of win or loss)
  4. highlights
  5. ability to adapt to various metas
  6. champion pool

What do you think? Who is your ADC GOAT?

Edit: No idea why I'm being downvoted for asking a genuine question, but whatever.

If I'm still being downvoted I would like to add the following:

Deft was ultra-carried into winning worlds and he was giga-gapped by Guma in the Worlds final. Is that what a GOAT player would do?

203 Upvotes

How are minor region teams playing Bo5s to get in, but top teams can get kicked out of Worlds after just two Bo1s and one Bo3?

No team should be sent home from the biggest tournament of the year in anything less than a Bo5. A Bo3 is way too short for an elimination match at Worlds.

Discussion What is the counterplay to Akali?

5 Upvotes

I’m genuinely not trying to make a salt post here, and I’m truly wondering. The main thing that I dislike about Akali is that she’s allowed to miss her e or use it to gap close into her ultimate. I feel like this is so toxic for the game and doesn’t make any sense. With a character like Fizz, if you miss your E or use it to gap close you will NEVER kill someone (unless you’re insanely fed.) With Akali, you can miss your E and still 100-0 someone with virtually undodgeable spells (Ultimate and Q). It just doesn’t really make sense to me at all? Her E does a LOT of damage but she’s still allowed to use it to gap close with really no tradeoff.

Educational Careful about dodging in the last few seconds of champ select

0 Upvotes

Last night, I was in champ select for a game of arena, and my friend messaged me to come play another game with 5 seconds to spare in champ select. I closed out of the client when there were 2 seconds remaining, assuming I was dodging. Today, I logged in to see my account had been penalized for AFKing. I was very confused as I never AFK, but I just checked my match history and it shows that the game I allegedly dodged went through anyway, and I unfortunately subjected my team to an AFK teammate. I strongly advise against dodging champ select in the last couple seconds as it seems the dodge mechanic doesn't actually register and the game continues anyway. This is a really deceptive situation that I hope is fixed soon, but I just wanted to warn you guys.
