So the Koreans have started to play to and shyvana again. What's interesting is they build rageblade on them. I also heard xin Zhao carries low elo hard. I've been doing bad in ranked and haven't tried in a couple weeks. All 3 I did good on. I haven't been good with you since the tank Yi meta where you go devour, boots, rageblade and then you build tank. I finally got a pentakill with Yi and that's only the second pentakill I ever got. The first one was when I was in a game with a friend as Ashe and it just happened. I also did good in the other 2 Yi games I played. I tried rageblade shyvana and did good but we lost due to an afk and we forgot to remake. I played xin Zhao and did really good. I honestly thought I saw a good opportunity for a pentakill but the 4th kill got stolen and the last guy killed me. Also there's a trick I know where you can sell boots for phantom dancer and that's something I do on shyvana. You get 5% movement speed. Same for ludens trinity force and statik shiv on other champions. S Hi and shyvana are being picked alot in Korea. Yi is lower elo and shyvana is higher elo. Ive dealt the most damage in all of those games. So are these champions back in the low elo meta bad is rageblade good on shyvana.

I understand this but what I'm actually saying is are they good in low elo. You can go ad offtank Annie and still win. Don't try that. What I mean by good is they are easy and snowball hard if they get ahead. Yes high skillcap champions like yasou stomp low elo but are had to play. I consider Katarina high skillcap but she has a low skill floor and last time I played her, I cleared the board with 37 killa but that was a long time ago and that was just my second time playing her.

anything works in low elo to be honest i can solocarry as adc soraka or full ap soraka but yes the easier the champ the more they should be played in low elo

While these people are right they're not entirely right If you wanna know the secret-be able to have lots of map presence, force games to end early, and play champs with good engage and damage. There's a reason why I play supports that can roam or engage-because I know how to get things going and end them, pinging a lot and working together with your team is also a good way to keep things going, because even if team kda is screwed you can still make it stomp by getting really strong and getting your teammates to play around that.

So to answer your question-it depends. Do you feel you'd have lots of early pressure and map presence with them? Even if it were to stretch into late game?

Not alot with to and shyvana since they need to get lvl 6 but after that, I start getting my laners up and getting them fed. As xin zhao, that happens a bit earlier and I go for kind of a hypercarry build.

You don't need a penta to win, you just need the nexus.

Said no one ever because objectives win games not kills as proven by pants are dragon with this tryndamere game have played and he just backdoored after they got baron and they won. He used that game as an example on how to carry when behind.

These are the three items you need on Yi right now in the jungle (unless you're going crit, but I wouldn't recommend that). Get defense boots. Everything after that is negotiable. Some items I like are black cleaver, deadman's, randuin's, maw of malmortius, and GA.

Yi is back baby.

I actually did that but I also went crit when I did. Also if you do build this, nobody can solo kill you if your champion can use these items. I tried it on Yi, Shyvana, and Xin Zhao and that's what happened.

They are the kind of champ that will stomp low elo only if you are better than that actual elo.

If you are bronze 2 with the skill of a bronze 2, yeah they won't help you climb.

So yeah they might be great to help you climb back if you were Gold last season and are stuck bronze since the reset.
