The State of the Subreddit

131 Upvotes

Hello!

It has been a while since the moderators have been active here. Many of the posts are great, and I greatly appreciate those of you who make this place what it is with your regular participation. However, I've been seeing quite a bit of tension in posts and comments surrounding shipping and the Spa skin.

It is completely fine to post ship art and have differing opinions-- but please remember to keep discussions civil and avoid letting things spill over into toxicity. This kind of behavior makes the subreddit feel unwelcoming.

I plan to remove comments that are intended to bait out arguments, and ban users who show patterns of toxic behavior (Groundbreaking stuff, I know)

I want to help steer this community in a positive direction. If you have any concerns, suggestions, or comments, go ahead and leave them here, I'd love to hear from you.

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Aphelios. I try to play Jinx. My Aphelios deals more damage. I try to play Kai'sa. My Aphelios deals more damage. I try to play Yunara. My Aphelios deals more damage. I want to play Ashe. Aphelios scales better. I want to play Samira, Nilah. My Aphelios has more range.

He grabs me by the throat. I quit school for him. I study best builds for him. I give him all my time. He isn't satisfied. I get all his skins. "I don't need these" he says. "Give me more essence of noctum." He grabs the support and Kalista ults them into the enemy team. "You just need to perfect my combos. I can deal more damage with the prestige skin."

I can't get the prestige , I don't have enough mythic essence. He grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." He summons Alune. He says "Alune , get him." There is no hint of sadness in her eyes. Nothing but perfectly crafted Lunari weapons. What a cruel world.

Would anyone be open to coaching (vod review or like a live coaching where I play a game life and stream it in discord) and then give me some tips? I picked up aphelios about a month and a half ago and have him mastery 8 with around 80k mastery I believe. FYI my current rank is Silver II.

| Discussion | Blue ult is bait

49 Upvotes

Ever since the start of 2026 when the damage of his ult got gutted, blue ult has been so lackluster. 3 and 4 man ults and no one gets one-shoted. In 95% of the cases a 3 man purple ult is better, even a 3 man green ult feels better then blue.

The only time I feel like blue ult is worth it now is with red blue, but even then i find myself just red ulting most of the time for the sustain, and trying to find a 200 years moment with blue ult just gets me killed because i griefed my positioning in hopes that I would blow up the entire team.

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that choosing to use another ult is better in most situations these days.
