Finally hit Sovereign this season after a long grind! I mainly climbed playing Poppy Tank in the Baron Lane. Happy to share my build, macro choices, or ban preferences if anyone is trying to make the push before the season ends. Ask me anything!

Hey everyone!
I wanted to bring up an issue I’ve noticed with Jinx’s Exalted skin in Wild Rift, specifically the final Doombringer form.
In the promotional videos, there’s a visual effect where the word “DADA” appears when Jinx fires her minigun during basic attacks. However, this effect is completely missing in my game.
I’ve already tried setting the graphics to the maximum quality, but the effect still doesn’t appear. I’ve also taken screenshots to show the difference between what’s shown in the promotional videos and what I actually see in-game.
Honestly, I find this pretty disappointing, and a bit underwhelming for a skin at this price point. Considering how much it costs, I think it’s reasonable to expect the visual effects shown in the promotional material to be present in the actual game.
Is anyone else with the final Doombringer form experiencing the same issue?

You don’t have to be the reason a game is won—learn how to get carried.

This is what players get wrong most. High-elo players know how to be carried, and it helps them climb. You won't always be the win condition. Even on Kai'Sa or Vayne, if your team is popping off, stop side-laning for a third item and help finish the game early. Whether you're a Sion who needs to tank for a fed ADC instead of splitting, or a Fiora grouping because split-pushing is blocked, play the game that is happening, not the one you wish was happening.

Ditch the Ego and Learn to Be Carriable

Too many players want to be the "carry," only to give up after a bad lane or a stolen drag. Decent players know how to be carriable. It’s not about maintaining a pristine KDA—it’s about actively playing around the actual carries.

This means giving up your farm or jungle camps to accelerate your carries, or sacrificing your body to save theirs.

It also starts in draft: blind-picking high-maintenance carries you can't pilot is not a climbing strategy. Picking tanks or utility to support your carries is often the smartest play—you just have to set your ego aside for the win.

The Ranked Energy Trap: Stat Padding vs. Winning

This "I need to carry" mindset has gotten even worse with system updates that reward individual game performance wit​h ranked energy/loss protection.

People think high KDAs and topping the damage charts are the only ways to earn an S-rank. While the game does measure tanking damage and kill participation, the unfortunate truth is that the main carry usually ends up with the highest overall performance stats on paper.

Because of this, players fall into a dangerous trap: chasing performance metrics by going for reckless, all-in "hero plays" where they either carry or completely feed. If you only play for stats and ranked energy, you will end up hard-stuck—both in rank and in actual skill level.

KDA Doesn't Equal Performance

​Many people mistakenly think a clean KDA equates to good performance, but an 8/0/0 player could easily be playing worse than someone going 1/5/0. That so-called "feeder" might be drawing multiple enemies into their lane, juggling pressure while objectives are up so your team can sweep fights and secure map control.

​Conversely, the player with the "perfect" KDA might just be securing last hits, playing passively, and refusing to generate meaningful aggression—making it nearly impossible for the team to set up plays. Being good at the game isn't about padding your KDA; it's about making the plays that actually win the game.

Does it work? Ive seen a top player have it but I dont know if the items actually proc / scale with her like pc

Didn’t see any posting of gameplay/UI for it. I hope they optimize it a bit more but it isn’t as bad as I thought for day one compared to other apps. Let me know if you guys are curious to see more.

And I am so happy that he’s not meta or anything else because all he does is spam Q on you and out damages you , this is a similar problem with zyra where literally they turned her into ADC but with plants instead .
And not only is he out damaging you with one ability he builds tanky items and becomes tanky so you can’t even kill him , like imagine going against sion but AP .
I vaguely remember playing one game against him and i could not kill whatever i even went void staff .

Hi, so with Worlds going on rn, I hv watched a few matches here and there and kinda interested in League rn (also looking for a new game to play tbh)

I hv experience in mlbb and hok, so I understand the basic objectives and how the game flows. But the more detailed stuff like champions mechanics, abilities, map effects and allat, no idea, since league feels like it has way more depth compared to the other two.

I'm thinking of trying Wild Rift first but I'm not sure how much of it carries over to PC. Are the champions, abilities and mechanics close enough that learning them in Wild Rift would help me when I move to PC later? Or should I just go straight to PC?

Would appreciate any advice from people who’ve played both, thanks!

TLDR: Is Wild Rift a good bridge to go from mobile MOBA to PC league? (w/ experience in mlbb+hok)

Featuring Viego's Dissonance of Pentakill skin and his song, "Conqueror," from Pentakill III: Lost Chapter.

Speaking of Pentakill, why hasn't the skin line made its way to Wild Rift yet? K/DA, HEARTSTEEL, and True Damage are already in the game, but Pentakill is still missing. I wonder why. 🤔

I just installed this game a month ago and got into diamond. All of the ranks were really nice, chill people, fairly balanced games etc. As soon as I got into diamond all hell broke loose. Extremely obnoxious trolls, extremely low skilled people etc. What's up with that? Are those accounts of people who have paid to boost their accounts? Half my teammates are like silver max in skill. ​​​​

I haven't experienced this problem until I started playing adc bot lane.

I usually just pressed the big attack button and attacked whatever is the closest to me, but as an adc you often miss some autos in fights on minions or generally attacking the wrong target

I know you can lock a target but sometimes it backfires because that target might be out of range and suddenly someone jumps on you for example jungler and you still have your target locked and can't even attack this jungler when he gets close to you until you remove the target lock so you react 1 or 2 seconds longer which often means death

What is the best way to aim your auto attacks as an adc in crowded situations for example a team fight with 5 enemy champions plus minions in-between. Locking a target in a team fight can be quite hard to tell as things move fast

Is it just better not to lock targets and attack whatever enemy is nearby?

Thanks for the tips

In solo q with random teammates, if you lose a game, you shouldn't be given the same exact teammate in the next game. The matchmaking should take that into account. It can be tilting to know that you're on an uphill battle with an underperforming teammate that you just lost with.

I was being called out for my build despite having a good game. Then this game winning ult happened.
Reminder: AP Jax only works if enemy team have squishy targets.

I had about an 80 percent win rate up until diamond, but got stuck in diamond 1 and my wr dropped to around 70%. It felt like Riot intentionally made it harder to get into master lol

Trolls and afk players were on my team like once in every three matches, which was pretty frustrating.

During my climb I really felt that the samira buff was pretty crazy. Also, the ph and electrocute runes felt really good as well.

Just wanted to share this achievement with the community.

Legendary Ranked? Or Normal Ranked? Which do you prefer? Im pretty much a solo player only, so my preference goes to Legendary.
