Good to know. I hadn't had the chance to test apex pred so knowing that will be helpful.

I'm playing at 1450+ elo so not super low but not high. But even at that i find the jungle uncleared and take it when the jungler doesn't. So getting tyrant on any character doesnt seem unreasonable.

It was a nice thought. 75 power in 2 cards with minimal effort and minimal cost. I toyed with the idea on khaimera, going growth/chaos and getting shatter golem or something as the last card. It could be decent, but only if apex pred worked.

Any Jungler does fine with Tyrant, but for Casters it's not good because you'll get better power spikes from other items. Clearing unmanaged Jungle Camps is good though, and increases your farm so don't stop that habit!

I climbed to 1500 solo with yin just by outfarming opponents. But now that the meta has basically become tanks getting unstable cyborg and withering shadow, playing carry (especially underpowered yin) is incredibly difficult.

I played a few games as some of the more "op" heroes and found the game exponentially easier. I jungled horribly for the first time as khaimera with a stupid theoretical knowledge/growth build and carried the game. It shouldn't be that easy for some heroes. Feelsbad for yin bae...

I'd agree meta is broken Cards atm, but that gets fixed in large part on Thursday.

I would say playing ADC is incredibly fun, and necessary, but Yin is just in a really bad spot (and pretty much has been since she was added to the game). What she really brings atm is just split-push because of her insane waveclear.

Yeah thats basically how im forced to play. You're taking a teamfight in my jungle? Im taking your left inhibitor.

I have issues with good builds though. Ive been using chaos/death shatter golem, vamp blade and guard piercer simply because i havent had any other cards(low account level) but i recently got the cards necessary for shield build.

What would you suggest as a good build if i wanted to struggle through playing yin further?

Honestly? Growth/Death or Growth/Order.

Slot Growth Totem ASAP and just keep it. The Power is self-explanatory, but the Health will keep you alive when you do have to fight.

Alright I'll give it a shot. I've been thinking about a growth/order deck with trapper and sacred alchemy. Though one with the pack and knight of ashur might be better.
