Yasuo above jinx?
Vi on the same tier as kayn, yuumi, nilah/Janna if u have oath, tpk if buhru also feels weird
Eve is also way slower and more fragile than jinx
u should use the relic that gives 0 cost champion spell once lvl up
U should use jinx if ur using that as an argument against jinx
yasuo is the best defensive champ out there, especially when enemy has power that gives them overwhelm or "first time each round an ally die, give them tough overwhelm fearsome"
which is what jinx very weak against
OK but jinx has just killed all of those bosses before the mutator even matters
wdym kill did u read the latter part
Kill as in kill the nexus
chances are likely you'd die to the overwhelmed +4 / +0 enemies before u get even close to that
Wtf are you doing, jinx kills in like 2-3 turns
sometimes they do sometimes they dont
its very risky thats why i dont put it on SS tier
unlike the other SS tier units like eve
and yasuo that can pretty much hold every enemies down doesnt matter what their stats are
Buddy, jinx is not risky, jinx is the second most powerful champ behind asol, maybe third if we're counting scissors nid
nope for example the kaisa challenge, i forgot the number but its probably 24
thats not where jinx is good at, meanwhile any SS tier units is
especially yasuo
wait not 24, somewhere around 40s maybe 48
yasuo is the "trump card" for those kind of challenges
It's not a trump card, it's a specific counter for specific things, jinx is way more generically applicable everywhere
Which makes you higher tier than specific counters for specific mutators
Kayn and tahm are godly for formidable and tahm especially for the +2/+2 take 2 dmg every round
Does not make them generically better than other Champs
because formidable is easily counterable with elder dragon, veigar
most of the time challenges with formidable is not that hard
and yasuo is not for "specific things", hes good in almost everything
maybe not so much for irelia, but you can use eve for that
He is more specific than jinx is
Jinx is just the sledgehammer instead of the multi tool, she doesn't specifically counter stuff but just ends the game before anything else matters
jinx is a very risky choice for hard challenges, and you're gonna waste tries on that, and this tier list really only matters to players that dont have much champ so every single try is sacred
Wasting tries on jinx, ur either playing extremely badly or haven't tried using jinx honestly on harder challenges, she makes 99% of monthlies a cakewalk more so than most of ur ss tier ever could
or maybe you're bad on using the SS tier champs that u fail to see everyone there are literally better than jinx
Jinx is widely accepted to be top 3 powerful champions for monthlies, if ur asking for feedback and then keep paddling your narrow thinking due to ur own playstyle preferences then maybe don't ask for feedback on a tier list
i never said i will take into account bad feedbacks, you're free to say it but i believe i have better judgement
especially when you can't really cater a tier list to be liked by everyone

when someone says she's top 3 i just believe they dont have much champs to try
i mean, i could say the same to you, im not sure why you think yasuo is bad
there's literally no counter to him, therefore he's better, its that simple
jinx is counterable by heavy stats, overwhelm and the immunity to dying first time each round
thats a lot of counter
I never said Yasuo is bad, Yasuo is an amazing champion, but he's in no way, shape or form better than jinx for monthlies
and i listed to you why she's worse than yasuo
What part of that matters when the foes nexus is at 0hp?
Literally don't even need to talk abt 3* jinx
if thats your logic then why isnt she the best to beat liss?
all the liss mutators doesnt even matter then
Liss has a tough nexus, 99 hp and cost increase after 3rd card, none of which exist in monthlies
jinx needed the gas meanwhile yasuo and morgana can play it safe, doesnt matter what stats the enemy have
once she run out of gas shes just a sitting duck
not so much waiting when the enemies have overwhelm
also i've listed to you what jinx is really bad at, and shown to you the risks of playing her
There is no sitting duck moment, the foes nexus is dead before you've played out ur entire hand, which part of this are you not understanding?
and yet you couldn't stat why yasuo will play worse
other than "speedrunning"
sure it would take more time, but if it guarantees winning it's a fair price to pay
it seems like you think you can beat all monthlies in 2 turn with jinx
which is very delusional, very few applies
and you probably know you're lying
He doesn't have a stun every round, he gets removed easier on low hp things, he takes longer to get going in which some champs just easily overrun u and irelia counters yasuos whole existence in any monthly she's in

Tell me you haven't played jinx without telling me you haven't played jinx
actually sometimes yasuo can even beat irelia, when you have a bunch of his spells ready
also it's literally his power to stun every round, but even if it doesn't you still have his units that stun
or relic
Sometimes is the keyword there, jinx reliably beats all but maybe one challenge every month
Only on 3*s, and that's just one unit
yeah "take longer to get going" but it's a guaranteed win
meanwhile once you used all your gas on jinx and the nexus didnt die, you're dead
and its even easier to run out of the gas on monthly than the adventure
you seem to not be able to take it apart
the difference
Show me a single monthly challenge where you run out of cards on jinx before the nexus is dead, I'm waiting
i didnt say run out of cards, i said run out of gas
which mean the enemy has already built a board
Yes, same thing, I'm not talking abt decking out
It doesn't matter, there isn't one mutator on monthlies that kills you before you kill them with jinx
jinx whole point is to finish the game asap but you didnt, doesnt matter if you have 10 cards on hand, the enemy is already too strong to handle
and you cant defensively play against that
never saw someone beat the kaisa challenge with jinx yet
Where does this "you didn't" come from, I am telling you, show me one fucking monthly where you run out of gas on jinx before the enemy nexus is at 0 hp
have you played the kaisa challenge with jinx?
if you have the recording i'd love to see how "quickly" you kill the nexus, if that ever happened
and the funny thing here is you know you're lying
you can barely beat the challenge in 6 turns
i literally did
Blud, where does this you know I'm lying come from, jinx alongside asol are my 2 backup Champs I use on any challenge that I don't have a counter for/used up the counter champion before
I am done with monthlies, I don't record my runs for no reason
exactly
so how can we prove each other
im sure you didnt use jinx to beat it anyway
in fact you probably tried to, then lost
And depending on what challenge ur talking abt I may have used a different champion, but as I said, for general use case 99% of challenges jinx is miles ahead of Yasuo
what challenge will yasuo lose?
I have only lost one fight this monthly and that was Gwen vs scout ezreal on challenge 50
That one I can prove to you via my monthly score easily
how is that relevant?
i didnt say u didnt beat kaisa challenge, i said u didnt use jinx
So idk why ur so hell bent on me lying when the broad community consensus even without my personal opinion is jinx being a top 3 champion for anything but lissandra
how about this tho
Yes, because I have 3 uses of jinx, which I won't waste when I have other Champs to use as well
Most irelia challenges, the 2 azir challenges with overwhelm this month, as an example
just stun them?
You don't have enough stuns for the amount of sand soldiers
the yasuo's spell or the one that summon something while stunning
And yasuos champ spell is too slow to stop them from attacking before they make the sand soldiers on attack
actually yes you do, theres a 4 cost unit that stuns 2
and u can even tank someone since they're ephemeral
so it's not the end of the world to let some pass
4 cost, that's 3 turns in
yeah ephemeral
Neeko good, should be higher, maybe MF down a bit
MF gets the job done somehow most of the time though i will admit
And once again, I never said Yasuo was a bad champ, he's just not the literal killing machine jinx is
mf with luden and challenger relic just solves it
i wanna gonna put her at S bcs she even outperform S champs
Mmm I wouldn't go that far, but she can be quite flexible
Neeko definitely should be higher though
Youuxun, you mind adding in ur opinion on jinx
Jinx is fine
I'm feeling it would help prove a point
She's quite strong and reliable, maybe a bit slow sometimes
Very safe pick
Basically only loses to Tough / Trynd
Will hard disagree on this point though. I almost exclusively use Jinx on hard challenges as a safe pick
I actually agree Jinx is not top 3, but she does belong up there with the other high tiers.
:( no respect for speedruns
Not quite. Play Jinx as a control champ and the script changes quite a bit
Who would your top 3 be then?
Every character has their place, none are good in all
Esp considering 2*s as well, by the time you have plenty of 3 stars to choose from it feels less necessary to care imo
Probably Neeko in top 3 because I love her :)
Shapesplitter good
Plus you've got more data on that than I do, but how often does nexus is tough or trybdamere power for nexus even appear in monthlies?
Once or twice on average
Cuz in my experience the trybdamere power for units doesn't really matter
Generally no, only once scargrounds drops
I mean in that case 2* jinx is even superior
Jinx is reliable, IMO not as inevitable as Yasuo, but they still belong on similar power levels
Both of you are correct
Idk, Yasuo, while definitely top tier, does not feel as reliably good into ur average challenge as jinx does in my eyes, he needs longer to get going in which case you get got from fast Champs sometimes and with monthlies not really having tough nexus or an increase in health over time I don't really see her being dethroned from a top spot anytime soon
Eve should probably be lowered a bit, she can take a bit of time to really get the ball rolling
Jinx is generically powerful even without her on board, but Yasuo can stall out games near indefinitely with him on board.
Is it likely? No. But it's a real situation. Misplays happen, RNG happens.
Both have their places and both have weaknesses
Tierlists in general have always been a bit of an * for me, because your resources tend to be limited
Eh, especially on 2* yas without him + GGC on board I find myself without enough stuns or long term removal more often than I'd like comparatively
The tierlist is in context of 3*
OP specifies
Neeko still deserves better than B tier.
Fair enough, but still don't see jinx scoring in any tier but the highest unless the highest is specifically asol + scissors nid
I personally use a different system
0-3 power, with 3 being miles away better than 2
And 1-3 in terms of specialized role
Yeah. Me too.
Yuumi is a 1 in terms of power, but a 3 in terms of her specialized role
I put her at 2 for power but definitely a specialist
Kindred and Lillia are a 2 in terms of power, but a 3 in their specialized role for Chronicle
Teemo is my go to Chronicle boy (woth Guardian Angel)
Hm, let me check
And share
Teemo for Chronicle is a popular option, too
I personally go Gwen
If I get to pick my fav
Gwen v cute
General monthly tierlist will vary person-to-person based on their relics, playstyles, star powers, and champ levels
Love Gwen, only sad she was my only loss this month
Yeah, I put Yuumi at 1
This makes sense
Damn, statistically objective tierlist

I do want to make a speed run tier list eventually
If I had scissors, I would have tried to compete with you
But my roster is not fully 30
And lemme tell ya, the builds I see? Yeah a huge gap, between the last slot being a common and a rare/epic
I have scissors, should I get started? Mostly 2* lvl 20s with few epic slots tho 
Complete game changer
Level 20 takes 40% of total exp
It's truly a grind
I always wanted to do a low star tier list
Master Yi is top tier there, level 18 Yi infinites
You know what would be a fun project
Level - star - relic
Technically I already did the level power spike part, if you look at my champ analysis
Like how Elder Dragon has 4 power spike
And they are all tied to the 2 cards that ramp
Eddy has great upgrades
Takes level 27 for Eddy to be able to better dab on enemies
I think it's fair to assume 2* lvl 20 for the Champ's, below that is mostly for very specific Champs, ig nami works below that stars wise and level wise it's tough because rng can entirely kill your run if you don't get at least one champ quite often below 20
Below 20 is pretty risky
Yup, that's what I mean, most Champs are perfectly fine below 20 IF you draw ur champion, but that's the big risk ur taking
Anyway, lemme
@glacial scarab
The Champ Analysis now has detailed info on my rating regarding a champ's power, and specialist power
Power 3, aka top tier, includes:
I love seeing Gnar there
A champion I actively use for speedruns
(He sucks and belongs at low tier)
Asol, Diana, Elise, Gwen, Jhin, Jinx, Leblanc, Lux 2, Yi, Morgana, Nidalee, Yasuo
Hm, maybe I should include Norra too
But I fear she can be too slow when up against top tier
If the attack token doesn't land on your first turn, you can fall off a bit hard
What is your speed run build
Oathge solves that issue 
Turn 1 0 mana Gnar?
Yeap + Beast Within
And delete an early stage?
How do u trigger the cost reduction t1?
5/4, Proto poro, Pokey Stick
Just literally half the deck
Impact poro doesn't quite count no?
Oh, you're assuming no token
Works every time 50% of the time
It actually doesn't matter if you have T1 token
I mean, you want Gnar to attack
So it doesn't matter that Gnar hits face?
Surprisingly, no.

It probably helps a lot but isn't quite necessary
If hp is low enough
Or cards drawn good enough
Going wide is more important than Gnar hitting face early
Gnar hitting face early is at most 5 damage
And see if there is anything worth adding
Well, ima try to finish monthlies in the first week next month to contribute to data
Tho ig I'll have to keep track of my used relics then
Smh having to do work
Add certain runeterran champs to your "cards from x region cost 1 less" mutators
Think she is the only champ I'm sus about
Hm, true
This definitely, there's a few I always keep circling back to checking the decks
Norra is a mixed bag, insane high rolls, god awful low rolls
A tier then
When I think about how she actually gets portals going
Well, RNG can easily give you nothing for your first 2 turns
She needs the specialized build so I understand why she's that low
Basically.
But 20 play speed damage is pretty good
I pray for Scissors
Only then can I smile
Also, this is my bias, but
I hate Warhammer lol
oh it's bad.
Anytime I see it, I wish I have Scissors
I just never had a reason to innovate until recent
How about a lil' tip? ๐
The Wild Fragment one?
Or the planner guide?
Planner
What kinds of adjustment?
You guys did an incredible job, and now I leech off of it :)
I wanna see if I can improve it and make it more user friendly
Also, did you see the ability to automatically choose which relic setup in the planner?
oh yeah. it's nice.
Select 1-3 and it's auto
I don't use it as much as a casual player but it's REALLY CONVENIENT.
๐
I will say this
Making the Notes section for the guide is annoying lol
It's basically making the guide for every stage lol, and I try not to half ass it
Having the ability to easily fill out 70 different builds?

So, I recall you talking about making adjustments
Can you tell me more? 
Data (Power, Guide) has been reduced to a pool of about 20-25 characters.
20-25 mutators?
20-25 CHARACTERS (champions)
Ah
I've specialized it to me (and various specialty builds)
The data is where I have all the mutators and enemy champs
And you filter it to only 20-25 noteworthy ones?
I filtered the counters portion
Ah, I see
Honestly, in due time I will add a section to that data
Called "Silver Bullet"
Handcrafted build to auto win
Put reptetion Neeko in there pls
True that
But I will put her in "good" cuz she is not straightforward
Oh for sure
Wait
Tierlists vary from player-to-player after all
Did I miss that build in the 6 Neeko builds
I don't follow the builds everyone else uses :P
Wait no it's there
I do have the gun + 2 Luden in the build section
But if League taught me anything, the most commonly used build/playstyle is not always the best one.
I do include a ton of builds
True.
Like 6 different ones for Lux Illuminated
Or 6 for Vex
Who really, really needs help
You even took some random's opinion on epic axe norra 
Chemtech Duplicator The Grand General's Counterplan Stormrazor
The Curator's Gatebreaker Riptide Battery The Grand General's Counterplan
Chosen by the Stars Hymn of Valor Lost Chapter
Echoing Spirit The Loose Cannon's Payload The Grand General's Counterplan
Fear-Cleaving Axe Utmost Despair The Grand General's Counterplan
Fear-Cleaving Axe The Beast Within Death's Foil
I swapped Beast Within for Bladerack
...suddenly the deck made a lot more sense
Basically it gives actual removal options
BW is just win more
Oh, you used Death's Foil?
Surprisingly, yes. But as a build against Liss and not for Monthly
Monthly doesn't need it.
Chemtech Duplicator The Grand General's Counterplan Stormrazor
The Curator's Gatebreaker Riptide Battery The Grand General's Counterplan
Chosen by the Stars Hymn of Valor Lost Chapter
Echoing Spirit The Loose Cannon's Payload The Grand General's Counterplan
Fear-Cleaving Axe Utmost Despair The Grand General's Counterplan
Oath of the Guardians Star Gem Star Gem
Easily interchangable with Stormrazor
Which build should I ditch for the Axe - Foil - Bladerack
Oath gem/gem
True
It's basically good on everyone
Lul
True
I'm leaning toward that Chosen/Hymn build though, just swap Chapter with Chemtech
That build is based on the idea of discarding your entire hand for Payload
And pew pew
Hm, how do I improve the idea of the Payload build
Vex with a ton of pow pow
Lost Chapter, Loose Cannon Payload and Dreadway Chase Gun in the proper order?
Chemtech Duplicator The Grand General's Counterplan Stormrazor
Dreadway Chase Gun The Loose Cannon's Payload Archangel's Staff
The Curator's Gatebreaker Riptide Battery The Grand General's Counterplan
Chosen by the Stars Hymn of Valor Chemtech Duplicator
Fear-Cleaving Axe Utmost Despair The Grand General's Counterplan
Fear-Cleaving Axe Death's Foil Laurent Bladerack
Yeah, these 6 should look distinct enough
Replaced the Counterplan in Despair build with Beast Within
Should cover all the bases
@glacial scarab thanks ๐
I should make a reddit post for Vex
Saying "Yeah, she sucks, but try these to help"
I agree neeko is pretty underrated, what relics do u usually use
Almost any. It depends on matchup. But you can always mix and match to fit to counter almost anything.
I use 2 guardian orb bcs it procs with shapeshifter
Repetition Neeko is Echoing Spirit + Dreadway Chasegun + Luden's as a turn 1 victory as a counter to Repetition or Mirror Mage mutators that lets you win with 50 damage without even having the attack token
Echoing Spirit + Scissors + Guardian Orb creates 6 Neeko clones and 18 random epic items as early as first token
Each Neeko is 4/2 with Impact
So that's already 30 damage if you miss
Bonus points for Echoing Spirit:
Every additional Neeko on board decreases your champ spell by 1. Means you have free Shapesplitter with 3 Neeko on board.
Me using chameleon bcs i dont have echoing spirit
you may think it's the same, but it isn't.
The cost decrease means winning on T1 vs T2
Not Dreadway Luden Luden?
no
Update time
So, which champ is your Price of Progress one?
I recalled hearing about Janna, is she still your go-to?
The Silver Bullet
no
it is also Neeko
:)
neeko good
I'll get to work on a Silver Bullet list for all mutators
And see what's up

And let you know
Actually
@glacial scarab how many champs have more than 1 silver bullet build for you?
Like for example, you have 2 Neeko builds for monthly
The answer is both yes and no
For each given month, I'll stick with one build per champ
That one build can change
I see
Sticking to 1 build helps speed
But being too stiff in what the best build is IS detrimental in the long term, indeed
Especially as new relics come in
Why is Jinx not SS? She deals 40 damage by turn 3 if you use the right relics
I've already explained above I'm not gonna write it again
435 msgs.
God Damn.
Can you give a short answer? I don't understand how can a champion that deals 40 by turn 3 be below stuff like Evelynn
Like what criteria are you using?
That never happens though...
Has it really happened to you?
What relics were you using?
You're talking about challenge 39, right? According to PetiB's sheet, 2 people used Jinx there, LehmonNation and PacificShadow
Champion Uses
Gwen 11
Nidalee 10
Morgana 5
LeBlanc 4
Thresh 3
Aurelion Sol 2
Jinx 2
Kindred 2
Varus 2
These were the champions used
I can check that ๐
Undying Rage appeared 4 times this year: 1 in January, 1 in February, and 2 in April.
Fortifications ("The Foe's Nexus isย Tough") appeared 2 times: 1 in February and 1 in April.
Yasuo can stall out games near indefinitely
My biggest problem with Yasuo is that he decks out sometimes. Having "Draw a card" in his champ spell means that you're on a clock. I almost decked out this month in the "Round end: Kill all units except each player's strongest" node. I just couldn't deal enough damage in time.
Good to know, thanks!
Not 39, its 48
Also "uses" doesnt mean their winrate and that sample size is way too small
Two people again: "Kansugi" and "the last of big time spender"
Most people used Aurelion or LeBlanc
But yeah if Kai'Sa can kill you before turn 3, then you die as Jinx. But it's not like Jinx is unable to kill them by turn 3 like you're saying either.
The conversation was basically this:
- Jinx is top 3, she deals 40 by turn 3
- Nope (refuses to elaborate)
nowhere in the spreadsheet says they kill them by turn 3
also idk if you purposely left this out, on that same data u used, someone lost with jinx
and the point was she was risky to use
thats why i dont put her on SS, none of the SS units are as risky
What relics do you use on jinx?
powder payload dreadway
Where? I didn't see that
exactly the point
you can't see who lost with it
so how is pointing to that "data" really brings anything to ur point
if you search how many times i use the word "risky" its always about the winrate
...You could have just said "We can't tell who lost with Jinx"
But just for the record PetiB does have a tab for deaths in his sheets. Below is the one for January.
Thats not even this monthly's
We still cant see whether they would have won or lost had they used jinx
Especially for specific challenges, like this month's 48
@worldly otter so what is your point regarding Jinx?
Its not as op as people make it seem to be
Shes S tier but there are far more consistent and reliable for hard challenges
For example eve with 2 or 3 crests can make her attack big stats enemies with double strike, or remove spellshield of that said enemy before striking
Yasuo with typical relic build can reliably defend while you're building your board
Same with morgana
Nidalee is far better aggresively than jinx and can bait the ai into doing stuff
Ausol is best bcs he's him
So putting jinx with all their high tier champs doesnt fit at all
@worldly otter do you use Payload for her
Yes
All you needed to do is scroll up
What relic u use on eve
Echoing Spirit, Tempest Blade, Crownguard Inheritance, the default
It takes you a 2 empty turns to get there, and you can be disrupted
Bro what is that shitty ahh build
Just use echoing spirit and 2 crests
Thats why you think shes weak
What, are you going for Starforged Luminous and Tempest
So she comes out 1 turn faster, and still has the stun?
This is the best build
And this is the reason why shes the 2nd strongest champ
You dont even have to stun the enemy if u can kill the enemy, and that spell also removes spells targeting her
So shes fizz on steroid
She can literally never die
Ever
Got challenged? Crest strike on the enemt attacking
Bigger stats or he has spellshield? Well good thing u brought two
Spellshield/barrier
Theres no counter to her
I mean if u doesnt even use 1 crest on eve you're already playing her wrong
You can opt for 2 or 3 crest
uh huh, sure
But i think 3 is too much so i use echoing spirit
Simply bcs u can save up the spells for next round
And guaranteeing to draw her as bonus
Builds I've collected for Evelynn
Some are meme fun
Yeah, your build is one of the recommended ones
Deceiver go brrrr
And gotta have level 25 builds for people out there
67% of total exp for level 25, and 100% for level 30
anyway, since the topic now shifts to "Eve so cool" vs my point of "Jinx is cool", I'll stop with the debate
Jinx is cool but not that cool
I wouldnt rely on jinx to get hard challenges done
I would rely on any of the SS
6 champs, thats 18 trump tries
Hard challenges arent even more than 10
Your call
As I say, every character has their place
There are even fights I wouldn't pick ASol or LeBlanc that Jinx is better in
There are fights where Jinx sucks and I'd rather pick Teemo
It's unhelpful to say that character X always is better than character Y
Teemo is so bad and vulnerable
He has good moments. You don't use a hammer to screw
Monthly is where you find the right tool for the job
Some tools are super versatile, but often even those have a limit
Chances are if that challenge is good for teemo, its probably also good for darius
So they're both as good as each other
nope
Chronicles of Ruin is a mutator Teemo is good at, but not Darius
Who gets hard countered by it
Next argument, if there's one
If your argument is about how a screwdriver is better than a hammer because it can sometimes act like a hammer, then I'll say it's a silly argument
Especially with the matter of limited use, 3 uses of a champ in a 70-challenge Monthly
It can act as a hammer but isnt as good as hammer
Thats why tier list exist
If you're saying teemo is good then you'd be saying darius is as well
Uh, yes
He's good for his role
That's why I have 2 spectrums to judge a champ by
Its power level, strength, and its role as a counter to specific mutators
yeah their role is to use up their tries on easy ahh challenge
i mean, have stupid takes, win stupid prizes 
Name one stupid take
Jinx being anything but top tier
How is S not top tier
According to the tier list shes in top 8
