Don't build the same 6 items every game

This video is on the importance of adapting builds to matchups, focusing on one particular game with Nocturne. I discuss the common builds everyone goes for on Noc followed by the unusual tank build i'm forced into based off the matchup that my team is in. Now I'm not perfect so there are a few mistakes I make. Trying to assassinate or duel people on a tank build which I cover. Wherever I played tank nocturne as intended we won every skirmish and end up winning this particular game.

The most important lesson here is to never blindly build the same 6 items every game, adjust the build based on your matchup and more importantly adjust your playstyle to suit your new build.

I had a 10/2 Ezreal who my team would not protect in team fights. I build item 3107 item 3190 on support and got flamed by our mid Annie for not building a full damage because "all Brand offers is damage".

The only real adapting I tried to ever tell my team was build banshee veil to counter say teemo lb Annie. Noct . You get the point. Like magic I built it on when I adc as varus and all of a sudden I didn't have any issues killing him . He got pissed due to blind not affecting me

Always this one fking guy who thinks he's a "professional" MF Support, when in reality, he's just an LCS-fanboy who copies w/e shit that has been going on in LCS matches.
