GAMEPLAY TIPS
|
TIP 1
|
Ymir is all about making sure the opposing team is placed exactly where they don't want to be. Try to use Glacial Strike after you've done your Frost Breath on someone and then auto-attack them - you will hit harder because of Frostbite
CC into CC
|
TIP 2
|
Ymir is ALL about mind games. Muscle your way into the center of a team fight and stun as many people as you can. Put your Glacial Strike down on a support or a squishy mage to scare them off. It won't kill them and everyone knows that, but it will freak them out and force them to move in the heat of a team fight.
Focus Squishy, stun people and split the enemy team
|
TIP 3
|
The ult is the kicker though. You're not supposed to hit anyone with that ult. If you do, that's great, bonus points. But the ult is made to split a team into fragments so they can be picked off. No one wants to get caught in it, and everyone knows that they have the EXACT amount of time to get out of it before it goes off, but only if they pick a direction and start moving immediately. So people will often pick the shortest line out of the circle. Isolate people from their group, make their escape impossible, and push their team backwards to watch helplessly as they're murdered. THAT'S what Ymir's ult is for.
Use your ult effectively, as a support, not a damage dealer

Machups in the solo lane is the key to survival. Understand them, you'll win, underestimate them, you'll loose.

Please, do judge the guide, I'm doing it to spread info and, secondarely, to win the competition ^^). It's just cuz I wanted to make a twist on the whole "Guide Writing" ideal ;)

It was really easy to follow and helped me out alot. :)
Firstly, good job overall on the guide. I know you don't like "gameplay" sections, but think it's a good addition for any guide.
Your core is solid. For your alternative items outside of core, would like to see some other situational counter items listed...like anti-ADC and other things, if you think they're functional.
I personally like sort of alternating levels between Glacial Strike and Frost Breath. Yes, as Support, it's nice to lock down enemies for a longer time, but Strike offers so much damage, that it can really help soften enemies to secure kills...and it's great to clear camps more quickly when you're rotating.
If you can mention a bit of something for situations where you might choose Mark of the Vanguard as the starter, that would also be good.
Finally, in your section on BoV/Bulwark, maybe putting only the Bulwark symbol on the left and BoV on the right would be better...right now it looks like Bulwark is discussed on the top half, and BoV on the bottom, which is confusing.
Anyway, good job on the guide, and would love to see you maintain it.
in all seriousness, amazing guide, and it's gonna win.
seriously guides who have that item should lose points.
and the fact the author is the ****in best is not new to anyone here so
oh well, I guess Ill never be white knighted...
Update your guide, perhaps, so it shows up in the "updated" tab, bringing it to light a bit more. Although it might be a bit late to update...
-Really only useful for early
-Not even that inpactful early.

PS: For those wandering, the deleted comment was a comment saying "hmmm...."
Until this point, I was kinda comfortable, just updating my guide now and then, thinking "I've got this contest in the bag." And then...BAM!
Prism, may the best Ymir guide win. I might have to step up my game because of you.

I'm a little bit salty now, I wasn't ever recognized :/
First, ChaoticUdders. Then, Udderific. Now, CrazyMilk. Tomorrow, LactoseTolerance.
May the best win ! By the Old Gods and the New, may the very best win !
or more accurately,A Chill Challenger Appears!
I'd also say that the Ice Wall is both a pro AND a con =P At least when I use him, hahaha...ugh.
The ability videos are a nice touch, but I'd also say that making some quick looping gifs and putting them in their respective ability boxes (as a spoiler) would be better...lumping them all together as YouTube videos feels a bit out of place.
Also, as you already know, my ability leveling preference is different than yours. Won't hold that against you, as long as you provide sound reasoning (won't say if you do or you don't).
Never saw that Inuki vid before...any of his vids, actually...pretty entertaining.
Your items section is extremely unique. I like it just because it's different and it draws the eyes, but the organization and alignment is a bit weird here and there (e.g. Bulwark/BoV section).
Look forward to reading your gameplay tips and matchups. Solid start. Also good funny chapter, though as you comment, it's definitely not something that we would judge. Maybe that's a good thing for you =P
