For those who complain about getting coins/no items, take a look at this.

This is what you can do with low/no item drops in a game.

I know I know. Looks like typical Noble build. Right? Wrong.

I started getting nothing but Wild Cards along with the standard Yordle mix.
I didn't switch to Noble until a Round 3 Leona popped up, completing (3) Noble, 2 Guardian with Braum/Garen/Lucian/Leona/Darius.

3) Until Round 4, I had ONLY Carousel items + 1/2 of an item! Rest was PURE COINS. I literally could have 20 Econ'd before the first PVP round.

None of these champs has more than ONE ITEM. FoN Wasn't until the Stage 5 Carousel (Picked up 2 Spatulas from different carousels) Warmog's was a drop from Raptors, along with the 1 Armor that made Kayle's PD (Kayle came with the Bow) Lucian's Red buff came from 1st and second Carousel. Jinx's Static Shiv half came from the Raptors, half from a Carousel.

#Please stop thinking you cannot win if you get coins! You CAN!

P.S. This is bad positioning. I fixed it after the drake.

I'd rather not put the time and effort in learning 'the ways of the stacked deck' for a game that started out as something so casual.

That's not to say that people shouldn't play this competitively. I just don't find much fun in probability games like these.

Of course you can win but you need luck to not be eliminated till level 7 :)

You should have level 6 by the second Carousel no matter what you build. 7 shortly after, close to the third Carousel. If you can't survive that long, you're building horribly wrong, weak synergies, etc.

I was winning matches with just Lucian's Red buff.

{quoted} I was winning matches with just Lucian's Red buff.

The most wanted Lucian helped you to survive easy early game. I call this luck :)

I see 2 star mighty pantheons there, correct ? I wonder how many rerolls need to collect them.

One was available off the Carousel, but I opted for Kayle. After picking Kayle, the next store gave me 1 Panth, then about 7 rolls later after leveling twice, I got another. Got 3rd on round 5 Carousel and I was last pick (no one grabbed it).

Wait, why are there only 2 players left at dragon round? And why are there only 7 players?

IllabetheSep 2, 20191 votes

The 7 players is a good question. Game started with 8.

As for only 2 left: I eliminated all of them fast and hard. And, they were building anti-noble Demon/Void comps too. Most matches not a single one of my champs died.

Well you had some luck too. Lvl2 Pantheon, for example. And Kayle. I had a game when I got 4 early nobles, but got stuck after that. I got kayle at bird round, and fought once with full 6 noble buff. Needless to say, if 50% of your team is lvl1 after chickens, you are not going anywhere.

Most people who say this mismanage their econ. I'm almost always the first to level 7/8.

Panth appeared twice on Carousels and neither time was I first pick.

P.S. 5 out of 6 Noble games, I get both Kayle/Panth to 2.

Sounds like a few of my games last night. Only items came from carousel. I think raptors dropped a 1/2 item and that was my first creep drop of the game.. lol.. Wasn't something I could use either ofc.. <3 RNG
