am i just bad

[novel dune]

in my past (about 20) games i have been constantly maintaining positive kda, 1st-2nd highest damage and have refrained from losing lane. Do you guys have tips for escaping ranked divisions?

Get darkseal

And mejais

[novel dune]

ive tried and it doesnt really affect annie as much as it affects other champs

ig i'll attempt it again

[hexed ledge]

It does, it's even worth it on champions who don't go full ap like mordekaiser, zac,yuumi,nami etc

[novel dune]

when do u think is a good time to buy dark seal

[hexed ledge]

Just go dark seal on your first back if you're confident

[novel dune]

i'll prob get it after lost chapter

[hexed ledge]

Or start with it if you're sure you will get a lead

[novel dune]

nah annie doesnt have early damage for dark seal

[hexed ledge]

You want it as early as possible

[novel dune]

in my games, i usually start racking kills post 6

[hexed ledge]

So get it on your first back

[novel dune]

alr

[hexed ledge]

Only 350 gold and if you stack it get mejais

[novel dune]

will probably aim for dark seal and tome

[hexed ledge]

Also if you're ahead besides dark seal get rabadons second instead of shadowfire

Or zhonyas or whatever you go second

[novel dune]

ok

[hexed ledge]

And perhaps try to last hit better during the laning phase

[uncut drum]

ye ur just bad

probably

stats dont mean shit legit. i could go 15/0 every game if i wanted to. everyone can play KDA

roam after 3/0

[hexed ledge]

I want to see 15/0 every game with below 50% wr

[dry stratus]

rabadons second is such bad advice

rabadons is 3d or 4th item cus thats when you have enough ap to make it work

[swift linden]

@novel dune If you want we can review the game together to see what can be done better?

[novel dune]

yeah sure im down

[swift linden]

ill dm you

[novel dune]

alr

No it's good advice, hat is competitive for cost effectiveness at around 100 AP from other sources, so as a 2nd item it's competitive with other options. At about 200 AP which is reached after 2 AP items, Deathcap is undeniably the most cost efficient item you can buy (all the non-boot items being AP items), waiting till 4th item or last item is always a mistake on AP champions, the proof is in the math, AP is worth 21 gold per AP (based on amp tome price, blasting wand and needlessly large rod are slightly better deals), Deathcap provides 120 plus 35% of all AP (including it's own 120). Most full items are around 110-120% cost effective, give or take the exact value of the passive/active effect(s). At 200 AP from other sources, deathcap gives you a total of 120+(200+120)*0.35=232 additional AP (from 200 to 432). 232 AP is worth 4872 gold, for a 3600 gold item, 135.(3)% cost efficient.

^While that is all true, its missing some stuff like how valuable void staff can be, but thats more situational. Deathcap is undeniably one of the best buys for AP that gets overlooked because of the cost & buildpath

[chrome abyss]

but void staff second is lowkey grief because you don’t rlly have enough ap to make use of % pen like that anyways plus unless the enemy team isn’t stacking mr second item it can wait until a third maybe a fourth

[void stump]

play for fun anf play with friends ig

[hexed ledge]

That's a kda of 3

The difference between 15/0 and this is like challenger and a rabbit

[stable coyote]

You are the definition of being elo hell’d by your team-mates, stay strong young one

[uncut drum]

nah but u dont need to take the 15/0 literally, it was obviously unrealistic

[hexed ledge]

That's like saying you go 10/0 on yasuo every game while in reality you go 0/10 every game

[uncut drum]

no it's not

[hexed ledge]

Pretty much is

[uncut drum]

idk i think u dropped a bit

when u was a baby

Void 2nd is too soon in ordinary games, but that's partly because magic damage has excellent access to early flat pen (hello 6 magic pen from mythic+18 from boots and then more w/ items like Shadowflame and Morellonomicon (extra +5 from mythic passive too here). Lethality isn't in a comparably good spot, which together with how much better armor scales up with levels is why % pen 2nd is common on AD assassins.

[dry stratus]

you're trolling if you think morello is a good item

[uncut drum]

i mean, the results do add up and show accurately. in your past 20 games you've averaged 10.4kills/5.8deaths/6.5assists. so i'm led to believe you aren't spreading your lead hard enough and right off the bat the first thing i noticed is you don't buy sweeper on annie. annie is super super good at surprise plays out of vision, just sitting in a bush, you press your R and stun then they die, simple and easy.

so ye just looking at your op.gg the 2 things i noticed instantly were, doesn't buy sweeper on annie and dies a lot likely a byproduct of not spreading your lead correctly or doing too many low probability - high risk plays

[rotund night]

Most of the time Shadowflame will be much better, but the point remains, magic damage has excellent early access to flat pen, and is up against a much more limited amount of base magic resist than physical damage v. armor.

[dry stratus]

doesnt matter youre just trolling someone if u tell them to finish morello

[rotund night]

The item is not as bad as you make it out to be, it's the same cost as Shadowflame for only 10 less AP and no extra pen (it still gives 10) v. shielded targets or enemies lower on hp in exchange for GW. If you're really needing GW, it's not a bad idea to finish the item unless there is something else you really need. (say for example, enemy teamcomp is Aatrox, Warwick, Vladimir, Samira, Soraka, nomicon 2nd is actually good there)
