I get you dude. As a high diamond/low masters player, from my own experience, the league player base is comprised of the absolute dregs of humanity. People are so insanely toxic it really makes you wonder what these shitheads are like behind the screen.

Makes you lose faith in humanity, frankly. I’d feel a little better (not much) if it was mostly kids, but league has been around for a long time so the player base is getting older.

This comment section is a prime example.

What can riot even do? If they actually took action on the disgusting behavior of the player base, half of players would be banned.

She’s solid and better than her win rate suggests imo. But as other commenters said, somewhat difficult to play. It’s best to play a farm heavy playstyle as she’s weak early. I would definitely recommend hubris over profane, can’t think of any reason you’d want to go profane first. The AD scaling on her is crazy.

At these numbers it’s still comparable to and probably better than the other options. It’s definitely not dead on ranged champs. Consider how much easier it is to get stacks on ranged champs than melee.

Like the other commenter said, Graves wants damage above all else. Ghostblade and Umbral are more high elo situational picks in games you think won’t have a lot of kills IMO.

Feels like people have such a knee jerk reaction to nerfs. A small tap down in power and people think something is totally dead.

I think it’ll be situational between Hubris, Ghostblade and Umbral. I have a feeling Hubris might still be the best. The nerf isn’t that bad.

He’ll still he fine. These nerfs are no where near enough to drop playing him. People just catastrophize whenever they see their champion nerfed

Yes

From what I’m hearing, you don’t like conqueror/bruiser because you die too quickly. As bruiser, in the later parts of the game you should generally be protecting your carries, not diving on theirs. So you can usually stack conq easily and black cleaver provides massive value.

I agree fights are over quickly but maybe the switch is just not trying to dive carries. You’re absolutely right, any moderately strong ADC will melt you late game. I don’t think lethality build will help much with that though. Even if you land a Q you’ll be half hp before it lands and probably instantly CC’ed.

Carry on with lethality as you like, just sharing my thoughts.

I don’t share your experience about Lee’s dueling. I feel confident against nearly any champion 1v1. The only exceptions are the top tier duelists like maybe Briar, Darius, Trundle. But you can beat them too if you stall the fight by ward hopping away and get 2 rotations off.

Surprised to hear you mention Xin, it’s hard for me to imagine Lee losing to Xin on even footing. Once he E’s you, you’re free to ward hop out and he can’t follow. So if it’s winning you kill him, if not you safely leave. If he doesn’t E then he has no attack speed boost and can’t win 1v1.

I think your idea is interesting though. The nice part about electrocute is it will benefit from the lethality and AD you’re getting (mainly the lethality as the AD ratio is low). Sudden impact is nice too. I will say I can only see electrocute being good into squishies. Probably best to go conqueror against 2+ tanks.

Also, taking electrocute is bizarre. Can’t see that being the optimal rune choice ever. Dark harvest would be better imo, you can proc it on Q poke in the mid/late game.

Agree. It’s so easy to completely int a game as lethality (not a low elo take, master player here). The margin for error with lethality is 0. As bruiser build, you have an incredibly strong early game (Eclipse spike go brr) and late game transition to more of a supporting style champion. Great chasing, great play making potential with R, and landing an E slow on a cluster of champs can be game winning.

I get the lethality appeal, and it is definitely good. A lot of challenger Lee players run it. But you better be playing out of your mind to make it work consistently, in my experience.

Your take is the weird one, what he said was right. Lol

It doesn’t seem good. It’s weaker on ranged users and Graves doesn’t have the ability to proc it often due to short range. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Btw, the win rate doesn’t matter much when the pick rate is so insignificant.

Strikebreaker is an expensive item that’s really only worthwhile on champs that need the sticking power. Lee has mobility on 2 spells and an AoE slow on another.

Think about it this way - which item would you switch for it? I think eclipse beats it every time in first slot, cleaver beats it in 2nd, DD beats it 3rd.

Yone/Yasuo inherently counter Ambessa because they have extremely high sustained DPS and mobility. Very difficult to land your Qs on them.

You’re either ragebaiting or being intentionally dense. I gave you the best reason that came to mind in my initial response to you, which you haven’t addressed at all.

Beyond that, I’m trying to help you with some deductive reasoning to come to the conclusions yourself. That’s what all of my responses have been geared towards.

You seem more interested in living in denial than having any sort of intelligent conversation.

You’re the one that came here and wrote this post about your constant rumination. I was trying to help explain why your intuition is relaying those thoughts and feelings to you. If you want to live in lala land with everyone else commenting here saying body count doesn’t matter, go ahead man.

The point I’m arguing is that a woman’s body count matters, and that’s why you’re subconsciously feeling what you described in your post. A higher body count is bad for many different reasons.

What do you mean the burden of evidence is on me? I gave you several reasons why it matters in my last reply. You’re welcome to debate me.

Someone wants to have sex with strangers because they have sexual needs and can’t find a suitable partner. Ok… and I want to eat junk food because my brain craves it. But I rarely do because I know it’s bad for me.

Casual sex isn’t good for anybody, men or women. Your biology doesn’t want you to have sex with people you don’t know or trust because of the reasons I mentioned before. This is moreso true for women because they face much steeper consequences than men.

There’s no GOOD reason that a woman has a lot of sexual partners. Sorry, but there just isn’t.

Whereas with men, while there are still consequences, having a lot of sexual partners at least means they’re probably attractive and sexually successful. There’s no parallel for women; women can have as many sexual partners as they want because men are much less selective biologically.

I challenge any of the bots in this thread to respond with an actual intelligent comment or argument. It’s baffling to me how this entire community has become brainwashed into thinking body count doesn’t matter.

People will argue it doesn’t matter until you’re purple in the face, but how would you feel telling your friends the girl you’re dating has a high body count? What do you think their honest reaction will be?

I could list a dozen reasons why it matters, but I’ll just give you one. Biologically, sex has serious consequences (kids), especially for women. After having a baby, women become very dependent on the man they had it with (again, biologically). If a woman will have sex with whoever whenever, that shows a lack of self esteem, impulse control, and responsibility.

Think about how that baby’s life would be. How likely is that guy to stick around, who wasn’t properly vetted and deemed to be trustworthy, reliable, and like he would be a good father? Hopefully this goes without saying, but kids with absent fathers have good outcomes.

There’s a reason religions outlawed having sex outside of marriage.

You seem like a good guy who genuinely just wants this to work out - I empathize man, I’ve been there. The brain has a way of masking all of someone’s flaws in those early stages when you’re infatuated, but eventually, all those flaws become apparent and really start to matter.

Again, I’m not trying to sway you in any particular direction. I don’t even know you. Just trying to share some knowledge and help you make an informed decision. Best of luck my friend.

Yes, incels are notorious for being selective of their partners. Oh wait…

The person you choose as your partner is one of, if not the most, important decisions of your life. How is their past “none of your business”?

Are you an actual human or do bots automatically post whatever the hivemind has decided Reddit’s opinion on a topic is?

The reddit hivemind is unhinged on this topic. Body count absolutely matters. The people here saying it doesn’t/shouldn’t are coping or in denial. Notice how nearly all the commenters have female pro pics…

What’s happening is your intuition is telling you something is wrong, because it is. People have 30+ partners for a reason, and none of those reasons are good.

I’m not telling you to break up with her, I just wanted to validate how you feel.

Where are the Hecarim changes?

I’m in the situation now where we have a serious underperformer on my team. He’s a remote employee and he does hardly anything. He does the bare minimum on one task and stops and asks for guidance at the first sign of difficulty. I raised this to my boss, he thanked me for bringing it to his attention but nothing has happened yet.

It is demotivating. If this guy can do hardly anything and get by, why would I put in 110%?

I would say no. It wasn’t a great item on her before the nerfs so it almost certainly isn’t worth taking now.

Congrats!

What do you feel like Ambessa’s strength and weaknesses are as a top laner? What are your favorite matchups?

I’m a high diamond Ambessa main but I play jg. I’ve played her top as well and I like it, but I dislike the bruiser build. I find it’s wet noodle damage unless you’re very far ahead, and you aren’t that tanky either. I find assassin build preferable at all stages of the game. Which is why I take her jg, because assassin is too vulnerable to bring top lane imo.

Curious what your thoughts are.
