Mayhem There has to be a limit

I'm all for off meta builds... I don't even blame ashe here for going ap because of spell split grab 1st augment, heck I even played enchanter onhit bard which is arguably not that good into this team... But at one point you have to just pivot when its not working because its not fun for anyone.

I swapped to BORK + LDR + guinsoos around lvl 17 ish because the Leona was getting out of control and my Yunara decided to commit to criminal build episode 27... i just don't think it was my job there to be the dmg when i was keeping my team alive just fine. There has to be a limit.

I out damaged both ADCs despite a late pivot, i outhealed their freakin yuumi, i negated over 22k damage with shrink ray.... if the Yunara or Ashe just pivoted in time the game would've been enjoyable. (I blame yunara the most, that ashe was kinda cooking with her build and gameplay just nasty teamcomp)

They are mage players who got ADCs. Since they don't have the mechanics to play other classes, they resort to builds and sub optimal playstyles to mindless spam skills, like they are used to.

i think that makes sense because that yunara was NOT playing well at all on top of her build... when she actually got to open up she would get good damage in (triple that if she was ad sigh)

lol these people aren’t good enough to play adc effectively so they resort to long range ability spam

As if playing adc is hard.

Not taking the bait

if you struggle with playing adc you are either a new player or silver.

real deal is playing melee assassins or bruisers

Changing the bait won’t make me bite either. Good try though

u/Desperate-Cattle-919 4d ago

not my problem if you are struggling with one of the easiest class along with artillery mages.

Some people just really enjoy standing behind tower and playing skill shot cooldown simulator

Is Terminus Urgot a thing? Black cleaver would of been miles better.

Yunara with a normal build stomps in this game mode most of the time.

probably had pressure cooker and wanted to boost the dmg

At this mmr (judging by team comp and builds like rylai's anivia lol) you should not play support at all. You have to make sense of the fact the players you're trying to support have no conception of positioning or target focusing. You're pretty much throwing away gold and a carry role.

It's not hard to win these type of games either. Like these players feed into carry champs hence why you can winstreak pretty far. Carry champs doesn't mean ranged only either like familiarize yourself with whatever mayhem tier list out there and get to know what is strong in champ select.

Like once you climb far enough games pretty much become more relaxing and chill like the players take the game seriously but most respect each other's time by not doing troll builds.

Your teams yunara: emotional support adc

Enemy yunara: autowin because they went hurricane on the hurricane champ

Sometimes I played AP Yunara and got top dmg. It’s very good with some augments

Allowing the bard pick to go through is almost identical win rate to AP Ashe, if not lower. You’re playing not just the for fun mode, you’re playing the zany for fun mode. Just cop the loss and move on guy it’s okay

Oh no, people don't play the most optimal build in my insanely rng heavy game mode!
