hey learning love the content ive learned alot and have been climbing almost in emerald. also enjoyed the games from the tac trials tourny saw your perspective and saw you on frodans vod of the game great job in those games
@16:55 If he levels to 9 there he basically wastes that last pump of EXP from explosive growth that he gets on the Neutral round. Probably doesn't level so he has an extra 12 gold for his level 9 roll down.
Yeah, he's not played often, so isn't properly represented in the stats. It's starting to pick up steam at high ELO, though it's not a play from behind comp. The thing is, mage openers lets you play from ahead, so you can def transition into Hwei. Plus, vanguard is a natural transition. Here's the board on L7: tactics.tools/s/tUdMTQ And you can get big spikes on L8 and L9 with Ahri and Xerath.
@@junjulyaugust9 The 3 frost hwei reroll prob has a higher avp, lower variance, but lower cap than the 4 blaster version. Rolling for ezreal as well is a lot more expensive, plus you may not have enough items to properly itemize hwei 3, ez 3, and mord 3, assuming you can even hit all of them. I'd consider rolling for ezreal as well only on portals with lots of extra resources.
Great review since so many people content mage nowadays
Thanks!

Ah, great point, Ryan. I totally missed that!
Was just going to reply this but figured I’d check the comments first. Nice catch.
if im contested mage i usually pivot into gwen with jg and blue buff
Yep. Gwen is definitely viable, though much harder to hit her whole board since it's so expensive.
Hwei rr? I feel him pretty bad, even in stats he is not that great. Do you have a comp for that?

@@LearningTFT How does the 3 Frost Hwei reroll compare to the 4 Blaster 4 Vanguard reroll?

bump
Mana-reave diff.
Counters xerath too hard late game
Great point! I didn't even notice that. For those who want to see, 20:20 is the final fight where the mana reave is the diff
