I played an Arena match last night with a few friends, and our last match of the night was against a team of all guardians. Puke. I think it was
Bacchus, 
Ymir, 
Kumbhakarna, 
Artio, and 
Xing Tian.. the typical all guardian team..This was the second time I've had this happen.. I'm pretty sure against the same group months apart..
I was really surprised at how effective going full tank on
Fenrir was against this comp.. Usually I'd expect to get steamrolled, but with our double tank comp ( Fenrir, plus 
Geb) I think we ended around 40 or so tickets behind.That being said, we night've won if we hadn't queue'ed with a Loki that apparently had never heard of
Titan's Bane before... Lol he fed hard.Anyways, that's it for my daily rant. Enjoy your day.
Holy hell you mitigated a ton, Flaskers. And damn
Some comments.
- You were facing a full party, while yeah, that Loki was the only solo.
- You were actually 79 tickets behind at the end.
- In terms of account level, that other team's average was MUCH higher than yours.
Loki did in fact get 
Titan's Bane...but he also got a singular crit item in 
Deathbringer (of course). The rest of his build was fine.
Raijin's build was great.
- Your team's
Medusa needs to improve their build. DB as first crit item isn't good. Don't mix 
Odysseus' Bow with crits typically, and if seeing 5 guardians, don't go crit...go Qin's...that's an obvious one. Replace the 2 crit items with Qin's and either 
The Crusher, or get some lifesteal (early 
Devourer's Gauntlet or late 
Bloodforge).
- You uhh...didn't build MS. Always build MS. Also, most of your team aren't basic attackers...Geb's Shogun's alone is fine (but Shogun's shouldn't be bought early)...your better EARLY option would probably have been
Genji's Guard (due to added health and slightly higher protection), with 
Ancile replacing 
Shogun's Kusari (since it has power, and Fen's scaling is good).
Void Stones and 
Stone of Bindings. That's your free space for Boots.
All guardians can be fun. It's usually GameGeekFan that proposes these stupid things...we've also done all assassins and all mages. I've played against all ADCs, and we blew them away.With only one damage type to counter, and having that replacement I was talking about, I think you could have bypassed Lono's, since you would have 303 magical protection at level 20...that's a ton of mitigation, even factoring in the enemy
Yeah i found an app to look back on the match after i made this blog and haven't updated. As info, our teams Medusa is a friend of ours, this might have been his 3rd game ever playing, so we just have him keep auto items on until he picks up game mechanics etc. Also, I sold
I couldn't remember exact detail on a lot of it because one I got a couple items online
AHHHHH, okay, hahahahaha, that makes a lot more sense on the lack of Tabi. Whew.
It was one of the funniest matches I played, I recommend it.
Now I'm just picturing
Did your loki build crits?
Like you know it's gonna be bad when you hit your first buff camp waiting for minions to spawn and you see EVERY ONE OF THEM got blink and are on their way to teamfight before the match starts...
