    There is nothing wrong with playing what you want if you're a casual or 4fun player. Not everything has to be about ranked/competitive. However, if you want to climb and see improvement/progress in the long run it is better to have a champion pool to set yourself up for success.

    • @Zianni
      @Zianni  2 года назад +1

      Lux IMO is really bad right now as a former top 3 Lux player in NA. Her damage and mobility is too low to succeed in a tank meta with insane amounts of mobility. Vex at least has the ability to snowball and roam infinite at the cost of a little bit of range.
      Lux is only playable if your team is ahead otherwise you just get one shot dived even if you're playing a disengage champ

    You may argue that Kat and Akali are the same type of champions, however, I have put so many hours into Akali across 3 seasons and have recently found Katarina to be my favourite champion in the game. Do you think it is worth picking up a 4th champ for a control-mage option? Or is my pool fine?

    • @Zianni
      @Zianni  2 года назад

      It would be worth adding a control mage but I would not go past four champs. Your champ pool is unique because you have really good early game but also really good scaling on your champs (cuz they're broken). You could just pick Veigar here as a 100% safe blind pick that also infinitely scales, otherwise Viktor for damage since that seems to be your playstyle.

    So what would a jungler's champ pool make up of? Would you still go one for every major class because than you get a pool of 6-8 depending on how you classify specialists like graves and Fiddlesticks, and I'm sure that not everyone has to play ivern to cover a support jungler right?

    • @jakemertens8828

      Junglers tend to just play meta more than any other role because you champion unfamiliarity is less punishing since farming camps is less demanding than laning against an enemy. But if you want to keep a small pool anyway then stick to 1 AD, 1 AP, and 1 Tank

    I think I heard they are severely restricting dodging next season, and I can't wait for the update to be out.
