@@VictorGamingMontages yes, but exhaust doesn't even seem to be enough which is sad because it basically means that at no point does E become strong enough to notably outpace Exhaust. Ult + bubble tends to mess her up reliably though.

Sure, although I would be pretty sure that it can't be done unless you get slows involved since they screw with her so much.

@BadAtNami not sure if combining E slow will be enough

@@KiaraKawaii will be something I look at, combined with exhaust since otherwise if her regular dash at level 1 is too much for us it'll be a very short video :p

@@haaendaaz3619 message received, we're buffing mage items.

It's hard to say in general when it's ok to take an inhib, but since they do last 5 minutes before respawning, it's basically guaranteed prio for the next objective. If that objective is something meaningless like the second dragon, then there's no point, but if it's like 25 minutes and baron is spawning in 4 minutes that's still enough time to contest baron with inhib prio. The most generic of advice I can think of is to think whether having prio in that lane will matter in the next 5 minutes, if not then the inhib is probably not worth it. Just generally you do want to find a way to expand your lead though, be that through picks and taking the enemy jungle, inhib or not, since if you're not earning more gold than your opponent then every second that passes your lead diminishes. You're winning, take good fights and force the enemy in to lose-lose scenarios. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the sub, but to be honest I don't see more videos like this one coming. I'm too old and getting sort burned out on league, the only thing I'm going to do or the immediate future are videos on timing Nami Bubble on enemy champion abilities. If that's not something you have interest in, I get it, and thank you for the support either way :)

@BadAtNami disappointed that it took me so long to find you! Nami bubble videos are always welcome. I've been successfully using exhaust on split 3. I've also feel validated in prioritizing imperial mandate and turning my nose at heal & shield power as the end all, be all. I, too, am old enough to have a different relationship with League compared to the usual player base. I've always come back to League every couple of years, but I'm comfortable to admit being almost 40! I wonder what will be your focus moving forward? 🤔 You make good content.

I think that I'll probably continue on with the bubbles series for as long as I realistically can, but it'd still be another like 2 years assuming I do it weekly before I reach the end. I'm getting burned out on league itself so I don't know if I'll get there, but I think if I did I'd be happy to just draw a line under it having completed the series. My personal interests aren't really adjacent to league of legends (e.g. cooking, gardening, computing) so I don't see myself doing any pivot in to creating that sort of content, and I tend to only like making videos that have a purpose. There are thousands of other people doing videos in those areas, just as there are thousands of people doing videos on generic league of legends content. That's why I make things like very niche videos on bubble usage, or videos like these where I personally knew people who wanted advice on macro as a low elo player and rather than repeatedly tell the same things to different people I preferred to just make this that they could each watch and learn from.

@@VictorGamingMontages it sure was unexpected when Nami turned up and saved everyone at the council meeting, but I can't wait to see what they do with her this season. Not gonna lie, her being one of the mystery Arcane ASUs was not on my list.

@@BadAtNami "it sure was unexpected when Nami turned up and saved everyone at the council meeting" HAHA WTF XDDD Well, anyway I watched the first Arcane S2 episode on Twitch today, and it's so fk**g good as always ! But no Nami...

I can take a look at Yasuo, but I can tell you now that: * E isn't a question of timing/distance, even if he doesn't use a subsequent E to dodge, it's too fast just looking at the numbers * R location depends on where he chooses to ult according to the wiki (so no self ults) * While R is exactly 1 second, he can cast W when he lands to negate any bubble you throw There is potential there, but with caveats.

@BadAtNami thank u!

@@Quartapple glad to hear it!

It could be better, but being able to make her considerably unsafer after ult is definitely good.

no voice 😢

I know I know I'm sorry D: I had a busy day, and I got off work and completely forgot about it. I realised when I got a notification that the video was out, it's fixed now. I hope you like it :P

The problem with that is you'd need a significant degree of anticipation to make that work, and I prefer not to do those since with basically any champion in the game you could go "oh it's easy, just predict lol". When I do these videos I try to make them practical, reactive bubbles which you can use to have high confidence they will land. It makes this series easier to produce, and also I think it'd be wrong to say "predict in X manner in Y scenario", since how any given enemy will act is unpredictable, and enemies have the capacity to learn. If you consistently react in a certain way to an enemy, for example throwing bubble at the entrance of a tunnel whenever you see Rek'Sai approach it, it may catch her once or twice, but any halfway decent Rek'Sai player will change how they behave. Ultimately though, you don't have to only go for bubbles against the lengthiest of cast times, and there will be plenty of times where you might want to go for something such as the entrance bubble, because the chance of it landing would be better than trying to catch her after she makes it over the wall, for example.

@@progoldfish7441 actually, no. This is a series I've been doing for a while with different champions, rek'sai happened to be requested by someone the week before. Also I've been doing the ult one regularly so I knew at least that was possible.

Funny you should mention that! So my boyfriend (who helps with these videos) is going abroad for the best part of a month soon, so I was going to make 4 videos and queue them up, and so I was thinking about what champions to do. Rek'Sai was among them, since you have tunnels, her ult, and also you might be able to exploit her nearsightedness. But if you want, since I do take requests, we can just pretend that it's because you asked so you feel a little bit special :P

@@MrMagicMert what do you mean what happens? The same thing that usually happens when it comes to mage matchups, you normally struggle early if you're not careful, but if you can stabilise lane then you typically outscale them since you bring utility that they don't and have the ability to out sustain their damage. What do you think is wrong with the setup that can't keep pace with mages?

@@hhc553 the voice changing software we use at the agency is broken ATM, bear with us

Reasonable point, although if you have a genuine purpose for a pink ward then they can be well worth it. Usually what I like to do is buy one in the early game before I have wardstone, then another in the mid game to put on Baron if winning since it significantly bolsters your ability to force it.

It is very much something I'm conscious of, truth be told it probably didn't help that I did most of the video after work in the space of a 2 hour period on the day it came out, and when I listen to the audio it is with headphones in which probably makes a significant difference in the ability to hear the words properly. But yeah, the last time I narrated to any notable degree was back in March and it definitely shows.

Thank you, the trouble is that I don't do narration much anymore so it's hard to get it to be good quality since I'm not good at orating + I don't remember which filters I used to use to clean up the audio and make it sound nice anymore. It's why the subtitles are there, if I'm honest I don't think it's something that'd improve in future but normally I make videos where I don't speak at all.

@@ner0ide1 id disagree that stats wise Staff/Ardent are noticeably better, they each have different stats with their own advantages/downsides. Ardent gives no haste, but +20 AP and a bit of move speed. Staff has a higher AP cap but only 10 extra AP at rest. Moonstone has some of its value in HP, which I don't think is a particularly useful stat on Nami, but in effect has a massive 30% healing power for allies. I've tried Staff in the past and the issue I've had with it has been the AP is very conditional, you're struggling to maintain the uptime, and you're using your spells potentially suboptimally just to get value from the passive. Ardent has similar issues but it's even more situational, and gives you worse stats. Moonstone is generically strong, and allows you to go those items after and not struggle as much with spreading buffs. And then I dislike green runes just because you can't do the thing with free boots

​@@BadAtNami the thing about moonstone apart of hp many times being a wasted stat is that the passive can also be a wasted stat in scenarios where you mainly care about pocketing a target and avoid them from being bursted, also does not give heal and shield power compared to other items. In many cases staff of water can be procced instantly by e with aery on a lets say syndra or mages that are really strong atm, that gives a combined 1800 gold worth of ap between you and the mage which also will buff your w power much greater than moonstone would and more controllable target selection than moonstone. And haste after mandate and boots is not so relevant anymore and imo is not a stat that you prioritize anymore. Also green tree allows you to get stronger heals/shields and maybe the rune that heals on immobilize or boneplating.

The thing is though in fights, if you're trying to pocket a carry in a fight then there's usually an enemy to bounce W off which means that your pocketed ally gets the splash healing from the second bounce. I don't think that the AP on yourself is that important, you can better itemise it with other items like Mejai's or Dawncore, similar to Ardent's passive I think that the buff on you is fake and you're only really playing for your allies. Sure there will be times where the passives matter, but I think they're niche and not as generally good as Moonstone. As for runes, again, you essentially have 900 extra gold to subsequent items that you aren't spending on t2 boots which is notable even if it's just a component like a Bandleglass Mirror. And then the actual full item spike is incredibly strong, which is why I think that Footwear alone is better than the Resolve tree, Cosmic is just the cherry on top. Ultimately though if you like your setup, then keep running it. What matters most is you are having a good time, so do what feels right to you. This video was just about sharing what I like and explaining why.

@@BadAtNami I agree on boots and cosmic insight are really strong, just meant that there are cases for both specially to keep uptime on staff or stronger heals. ardent is more of situational and the buff on you ye it aint so great but stats on item are better than moonstones. staff in the other hand is way to easy to get value and in teamfights and even with like varus or lucian it is far better than moonstone getting that buff on both of you. I just see chall sups in my games inting builds left and right and ye many builds work but they normally do not look at every game and use cases for builds. not just supports but ye normally I see korean do this so I copy... And you did not argue why moonstone is better in any way seem a personal preference which is fine, I just looking at stats and passive does not justify the purchase. Health many times useless, haste is not priority at second item, low ap and like I said the passive not very reliable and since you heal who gets focused anyway it does not make much of a difference unless tank gets that heal. I see moonstone mainly being good on soraka, ivern, and sometimes janna or karma or if you got no better buy options like you got 1 ap that you never see and jhin with assasins that ardent is not good with. you having more heal and shield power plus staff ap being accessible with e or r someone as fight starts makes it more reliable. It is like kraken pd and leth jinx, it is good but not optimal, i have spreadsheets of every jinx build damage outputs and ability damage and it makes no sense to build like that, just more often than not people autopilot or default to certain builds.

You don't get the buff from Staff for your first cast, and then in order to maintain uptime you would need to use your spells suboptimally and stagger their usage. That's a problem that it still sort of has even after Moonstone, however with Moonstone at least the splash healing combined with W bounces refreshes the duration. I've had phases before where I try to rush Staff, and iirc I had a game at the start of the season where I went it first item. I think it is heavily overrated, you have much more impact by having significantly stronger heals and letting your allies have extended fights. I might consider it if I have an allied mage that is the wincon, but I think in general it'd be more impactful to have raw healing power or to remove counterplay for enemies with something like Mikael's. I do agree that the HP is usually wasted gold, and normally I feel that Mana Regen is a dead stat out of lane, but even with that I still believe that the raw healing power of Moonstone is that strong to justify it's purchase. I don't agree that Haste is a wasted stat, for one we're not buying the T2 boots to reach the point where you say we have enough Haste (even though Lucidity boots are giga nerfed too), but also fights nowadays take multiple spell rotations, it's always nice to reach the 84 Haste breakpoint to have permanent uptime on E, and Haste is just generally good for teamfighting. If you're an ADC main I kinda understand where you're coming from, I've duo'd with some in the past and they'll have times where they swear blind about how broken Ardent is, or how OP Braum is and beg you to abuse it, not realising what you're giving up to do so.

@@VictorGamingMontages it's unfortunate I know :/

@@Tim2g my voice is ok, these are just easier to do since rather than come up with a script, narrate, and match the footage to the audio, I just write what needs to be said. I don't think I'd be able to do these as often as I do if I went to narrating, and I think my time playing league/making these is limited (I'm 29). I'd rather do as many of these as possible than do fewer before I give up. I don't think I'll make it through all the remaining champions, which is kind of why I've started trying to prioritise the more interesting ones rather than making a video saying the obvious for someone like Karthus or Janna.

@@imonseii right back at you! :)

@@VictorGamingMontages eep!

@@KiaraKawaii well the cast time is less than 1 second so it's not a timing issue, it's about whether there is enough time to reliably catch her. As examined in this video, I don't think it'd necessarily reliable, but it's a question of how much MS she has. She's not always going to have 4 Q stacks, she might be slowed by something, or she could just mess up and not click correctly during the cast time to dodge. This series is about figuring out what does/doesn't work, but it's not the be all end all since bubbles can be landed even without cast time setup.

@@KiaraKawaii I can take a look at Zeri next week! As someone that plays her though, what I would say off the top of my head is that her MS affects the dash speed, but I think it's one of those ones where it has a base amount of speed so even if she has like 100 extra MS compared to in lane it's not that much faster.

We truly peaked as a species with gachi remixes

I can give both a go, but I have a feeling there won't much there.

The honest answer is I don't know. I do think it's strong, and part of the reason I tried it in the first place is I've been pretty underwhelmed with enchanter items first (Mandate, Helia) so I don't think you give up too much to go it. That said, I haven't worked out how much of Warmog's Nami is Warmog's being broken in general and how much it is a good fit for her. I think it might be something that you opt in to against high damage teams or if you lack frontline, but also if you're not finding it working then that's fair enough too since it is a different play style that enchanter mains might not be comfortable with.

This is a common misconception, as we saw in the video, if the fish is stupid and lazy water can indeed hurt a fish

Perhaps for April fool's day or something like that, but there isn't actually something to bubble even if you do end up in a mirror matchup.
