I hate these threads.

Just a guy bragging about stuff no one really cares.

OP lied about the vlad being diamond, lied about stomping, loses the game, and has the decency to make himself sound like the Yoda of league with wise words. I love the upvote farm threads.

Guy gets on boards just to say, "everyone look at me and how cool I am. I'm a badass that can take down diamonds." In reality, looks silly for assuming that FotM champs can't be mained by anyone but him. More so by the fact that it was probably against someone who was boosted.

Utility Veigar1 votes

If you look into his match history with the fiddle/vlad game, he clearly lied about almost everything. The vlad isn't diamond, fid got stomped, and lost the game. What a phony.

Bard

I loved him when everyone thought he was shit, and to this day I still get salty if someone picks him because he is my favorite champ. I had a close friend get into him a bit and challenge me to a 1v1 for the title of local bard master.

It resulted in him buying me cottontail fizz

"YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH VLAD"

He was just reworked. Your "years" of experience with Vlad don't really mean shit when he's different than he was during most of those years. And anyway, Fiddlesticks has basically always been known to have an advantage of Vlad in that he can drain through pool.

It was a bronze vlad and he went 5/1 and won XD

Oh yeah, I've been there many times. I've been playing since 2010 and I can tell you the worst times: DrMundo Just recently, when the Keystones first hit live; couldn't play him for a long ass time and had to hope he wasn't banned and that I was first pick. Gragas Been a lot of times Gragas has been in the spotlight; back when he was still in his pre-rework state, I use to run him as a tank due to Drunken Rage's original stats: it granted mana, an AD steroid, and percentile damage reduction over a duration like a mini-Alistar ultimate. Then people started playing him as a mage and he got banned a lot, then he got rework several times, to the point he's now almost exclusively jungle; that's my worst role. I've tried laning with him, but I just can't seem to pull it off, letting all my numerous Gragas skins collect dust. Malzahar Malzahar was my go to mid laner before the rework and for the longest time after his rework, I couldn't play him because he either got banned or someone else picked him before me. Its not as bad now of course. Singed Proxy Singed became all the rage, so he became a consistent ban; he's fine now, but he has very clear counters so I don't pick Singed as often as I want to. Urgot Urgot holds a special place for me, but then he's picked in the LCS and suddenly nerfs out the ass after a long time of neglect and him becoming a popular pick/ban for all the flavor of the month sheeple. Zed This one hurts the most; when Zed first came out, everyone proclaimed him garbage because he was hard to build properly and he just didn't seem to have enough damage. I loved Zed, his kit, his themes, I was determined to play him even if he did suck but then the next season rolled in with the new AD itemization with Zed quickly becoming a popular pick to this very day. As much as I loved Zed, playing a champion that everyone and their grandma plays is so annoying and boring.

In fairness, there's really not a great amount Vlad can do to Fiddlesticks as long as Fiddle has mana, but then again that's how you beat him :^).

Mana plebs.

I don't like Vlad being flavour of the month at all though. As amusing as it is seeing really shitty Vlad's completely fail with him, I feel like he's possibly gonna get nerfed (going by what Meddler said) just because he's more popular and experienced players are finding success with him. His rework was mostly an act of counterplay-loading onto him, which I'm fine with, but from as unbiased a view I can take I don't think he's deserving of any nerfs.

but what if... he was a main vlad that was ranked diamond!!! sinister music plays

taleofsonata1 votes

:V Then that means that he is one of those people who mains a champion but can't main them and sucks at them. COUGH COUGH

wouldn't that just make him a boosted monkey then?

This is me with Thresh.

The last time someone picked Thresh against me (when I was trying to go him), I was so salty that I turret dived and killed him at level 2. I let Ez take the kill for First Blood. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2207096071/214829958?tab=overview

I typed in all afterwords, "Thresh is MY champ" lmao

Me that mains yordles, I know their tricks and can use my own to take them down.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

I'm glad that I'm not the only person who mains a bunch of yordles.

JayHog19921 votes

Yeah, I'm trying to master them all when possible...

And someone downvoted me. Darn.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

I just started playing a bunch of yordles for no real reason. I just like all of their playstyles XD Gnar Amumu Kennen Lulu Corki Heimerdinger Rumble are most of my favorite champions.

JayHog19921 votes

Not sure if Amumu is a yordle. Reason I avoid him is that Riot doesn't 100% say that he is. So either I main him and waste his time if he isn't... Or I don't play him and someone calls me out on it...

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

I count him. He really isn't that hard to play, and it adds a pure jungler to your yordle pool.

JayHog19921 votes

I know he's good, problem is if he counts as a yordle, that's all.

I also have Poppy, Rumble and Teemo as junglers since they are nearly universal.

nobody plays taliyah cept me

taleofsonata1 votes

:V As someone who plays alot of Taliyah. Taliyah biggest counter is actually Singed. Taliyah sucks at chasing, Taliyah can't fight super speed champions, Taliyah has a very low base damage and low ratio, taliyah is very predictable, its easy to bait Taliyah spell by charging at her and run away when she E.

cuddlykitten45 votes

So you go and quote things from where? That being said, you claim no one can beat you with your main.....but then from the impression I get you're telling this guy all the reasons he'll get beat with Taliyah. I think you're really full of yourself, and quite frankly, one day you'll fight a non-boosted Vlad who's gonna slap you around like a red-headed stepchild in K-Mart. Arrogance tends to become stale and never advance. If you keep your attitude you're going to fall off as far as your skill goes.

the feel when my top of the top mains arent ever fotm

Akali Karma Zyra

i like 13 champs and only 2 are fotms, not because they're fotm, but because love their kit. i really love how kindred is a 'safe adc' cant really get one shot by bullshit assassin (unless they burst me way to fast and i cant press r) also i love tank ekko, ekko should be turned into a tank only champ, just kill ap ekko. the funniest kit a tank could have, tank ekko has

TurquoiseYoshi2 votes

The best part is that Zyra and Karma are top picks in LCS.

kaltenashes

Its not that they're top pick, they didnt get buffed or anything.

I think its all because wolf, skt's support, picked nami against alistar or braum in the lck finals against tigers.

After that, mage support were constantly picked by a lot of teams in MSI and are still being played.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

Top picks don't have to have been buffed. Top picks can just come from previously undiscovered build paths or playstyles, or off of other meta changes. For ranged supports, it's the lane bully playstyle that every single one can use, along with the non-necessity of a support tank with top lane tanks and some junglers in meta.

And some fact checking: Aphromoo (originally Bard) and Adrian (originally Soraka) started the ranged support meta, in the NALCS. Then when CLG went to MSI, Aphro's picks spread to the other regions. Wolf used Nami in the MSI finals, not the LCK finals. The Nami pick was unusual and the first of its kind, but with Sona pulled out by Aphro in the MSI semifinals, it wasn't all that crazy.

kaltenashes1 votes

oh yeah totally forgot about adrian's janna/karma/soraka

awww too many info to remember D:

YAY Look at NA shifting the meta

I don't even know how my main is doing so well right now, I know he's fine mechanically and those AD champ updates obviously helped him, but the last class update was for AP champs. How is it his win rate jump up to the #10 spot from an AP update? O_o

BluePolarizer1 votes

I think it's because he eats mages for breakfast more than even assassins.

Is Taliyah really FoTM?

MrBuffington1 votes

I don't think so, she's new and on free week, that's about it. She's sporting ~2% pick rate in plat+ mid lane, according to champion.gg

Zarkkast1 votes

Everytime someone picks Shaco against me I make sure they will never do that again.

I remember when Shaco's winrate went to like 53% or something in the pre-season. His pick rate grew a lot but it only lasted a few patches.

Good old drain VS vladimir

But the thing is if vladimir knows this interaction and matchup (99% people dont) he ll actually never reach your range and just outfarm / outscale you

Its not like fiddle can bully vlad unless he lets him

That moment when you're champion isn't played.

Then gets a comprehensive all around buff, and gets played a good amount along with some LCS match appearances.

Then the champ (being fairly popular now) gets destroyed by a rework for literally no reason and NO ONE plays him again.
