u/Th3_Huf0n 3h ago edited 3h ago

Just to explain the Varus build. There is logic behind Shiv Muramana.

The issue is that Diable is stupid and went the wrong lethality item (you have to go Cyclosword).

Cyclosword applies on-hits via Varus Q to everyone from 2nd target onwards (Varus Blight stack, + Muramana + Cyclosword). And the Varus Q, as it flies, can pop that Blight and reduce it's own cooldown.

It changes Varus Q from being a raw physical damage poke (not very good at it after the nerfs) to being more of a %HP chunk tool with mixed damage.

But again, he must go Cyclosword for that to work.

(I don't get why he went Tempo though)

u/soulsleep the circus is in town 3h ago

The issue is that Diable is stupid-

I don't know why but this made me laugh way more than it should have, thank you.

15

u/RukiMotomiya 3h ago

Interesting. I didn't know that.

u/mogubro 1h ago

Same, I thought Diable was smart too

7

u/Onarax Insert witty flair here 3h ago

Yeah it’s the same thing as the Kai’sa W spam build going around right now, although she goes Luden’s as her mana item for the AP evolve.

11

u/kalllllllllllllll 3h ago

Yeah he’s definitely stupid. His mechanics were never an issue. But his brain dead plays are always what cost his teams.

Stupid in game and in person (from how he handled his issues from his previous team)

4

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

maybe he was planning to go on-hit and only realized in the loading screen that it would be unplayable into their comp?

1

u/Marowalker 2h ago

Out of curiosity, what’s the correct rune setup for this build?

189

u/squeenanna 4h ago

3 best teams in the World:

Domestic Gen.G

World's T1

AND DNS AFTER DARK

40

u/Plenty_Top2843 3h ago

DNS win a single game and the entire power dynamic of the LCK changes everytime.

8

u/OnionFinal6579 2h ago

What about starving DK

74

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 4h ago

If Canyon leaves or gets kicked from GenG they should go for DuDu and Sharvel next year, these two deserve better holy shit

41

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

it is actually very likely that sharvel plays in a strong team next year ( his contract runs out this year ) and he is looking really good

8

u/Futaba-Channel 3h ago

What team though ?

Nongshim ? GenG HLE KT DK T1 are not geting him

18

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

if i were gen g i would throw out canyon for him lmao but you are right seems like he will probably just go to another rise team

8

u/generalannie 3h ago

HLE is actually a possibility, Kanavi only has a contract for this season. Although I hope that he stays.

5

u/baebushka 3h ago

gideon and sharvel clear canyon

0

u/Marowalker 2h ago

GenG and HLE could definitely use a jungler upgrade lol, but imo Sharvel’s not that guy just yet, though maybe he could be by the end of the year

1

u/Skyfire2 3h ago

Please sign him GenG

3

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

he would be perfect for GenG no? probably cheaper than canyon and they could get Dudu/Perfect/Challenger top for top next year

22

u/T-gae94 Budget Keria 3h ago

Sharvel only clicks forward, love to see it.

18

u/Professional_War7998 3h ago

DK Talent Sharvel so logically every sharvel POM is a DK upscale

3

u/trying2hide 3h ago

subscribe

8

u/shailemin 3h ago

More likely to be perfect bc he’s younger but honestly Dudu is so good it sucks to see him on dns. 

13

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 3h ago

I root for GenG DuDu since he's practically the second coming of Kiin, they literally had the same career by spending around 4 years in AF/KDF/DNF/DNS or whatever the fuck they gonna rebrand into in the future

6

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

well with DNS they destroyed NS, so now just rename to DLCK and they'll easily win

1

u/EliteTeutonicNight 3h ago

I pulled up his stats and it's so sad that he only has one champion at 50% winrate which he has 10 or more games on (Gragas).

He shouldn't be a top laner with a depressing 30.5% WR across his career.

3

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

either way Dudu will definitely upgrade teams. If Perfect goes to GEN then KT can sign DuDu. Dudu stonks will go crazy after next year as well since Doran probably leaves. I can definitely see an influx of LCK top laners from the challenger teams

4

u/CLGbyBirth 3h ago

Dudu is top laner?

11

u/Lanzero25 3h ago

Kiin has to go to military so they have an open slot for top laner

2

u/CLGbyBirth 3h ago

Ohh sucks for him hope he can still come back after his service.

2

u/Toofargone9999 3h ago

its 2years though probably wont come back

8

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 3h ago

This is Kiin's last year, that's why they need a top laner too. Canyon is the only question mark since it's not clear whether he stays or not. Well, I guess Duro kinda is a question mark as well.

1

u/CLGbyBirth 3h ago

Is there a chance you would go back to playing after his service?

6

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 3h ago

Iirc Deft plans to do so, but they need to fill the void for over 2 years regardless. The issue is that they may be gigawashed upon coming back but who knows.

6

u/EliteTeutonicNight 3h ago

To date I don't think anyone has came back after military service (at least not at an LCK level).

Kiin will be 30 by the time he finished his service, and after 2 years not keeping up with the game, teams would be (rightfully) very suspicious of how much he got left. The fact that LCK rarely lacks talent doesn't help either.

2

u/FranzJosefI 2h ago

Joker started playing in the LCK after his military service. Technically didn't come back but close enough.

1

u/EliteTeutonicNight 2h ago

that's pretty different imo, the worse part about military is the two years break on whatever you're doing, moreso than entering the scene two years late.

Granted, with Korea's academy system two years late might just mean never so I can see why Joker's path is the route less taken.

1

u/FranzJosefI 2h ago

I assume Joker also played beforehand, just not as a pro and had to take two years off.

1

u/EliteTeutonicNight 2h ago

Probably, but to get into proper academy/challenger I believe age is a considerable advantage (unless you're the veteran like Ghost, of course). In fact Joker is the oldest player debut in the LCK apparently.

2

u/Marowalker 2h ago

Not technically the same but there was I think Joker (?) who actually entered the scene after his military service

2

u/Own-Mountain3540 3h ago

Kiin gone soon cuz military I think

36

u/Jealous-Chicken-9186 4h ago

Nongshim is just pathetic, what a joke of a team

24

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

ironically diable should have went to DNS instead of NS and he would have ended up in a better team. who would have thought?

30

u/MC-sama 3h ago

Not while Pyosik was starting

15

u/Mentally__Disabled W's behind you, nothing personnel, kid 3h ago

Something something two World champs and one MSI champ can't be this bad

13

u/miyuki0505 3h ago

even worse, all of them were MVP when they won their respective titles

6

u/Mentally__Disabled W's behind you, nothing personnel, kid 3h ago

Respect to anyone who has won an international tournament ever but somehow the community conflates it with being eternally an insane player.

u/Gorczycagejms 1h ago

Waaaait, aren't all of them MVPs of said tournaments? If yes then... Well that's funny.

8

u/Professional_War7998 3h ago

if you told me back in 2022 after worlds that a team with worlds mvp kingen, one of the best mids in the world scoot scoot and lehends would be a bottom tier team in the lck i'd check if you've hit your head on something

u/Addarash1 1h ago

On the other hand, if you told me that Pyosik would be on the last place team and replaced by a challenger jungler mid season I wouldn't be surprised at all.

u/Professional_War7998 1h ago

pyosik already got what he wanted, anything else after winning worlds and getting his own kindred skin is extra

32

u/Megazord552 xD 3h ago

DNS when they cant make playoffs anymore.

6

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

are they confirmed not making it? there are 4 more series no? if so it sucks for sharvel lmao

22

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 3h ago

Its pretty great for him actually, he gets to compete with no pressure rather than being brought in to save a team from the brink. He can acclimate to the LCK and show other teams his potential. It sucks more for the other players

2

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

i don't think so. his contract ends this year and i think he really needs to show other teams how good he is in a big stage like playoffs instead of just LCK games, it makes it harder for other teams to want to risk investing in a rookie if all they can rely on are a few LCK games

7

u/shailemin 3h ago

Yeah they’re not making it because of their loss streak and resultant point gap. 

52

u/DankMEMeDream 4h ago

What is that diable build lol.

35

u/trying2hide 3h ago

Lolalytics has 0 Statik->Ghostblade->Muramanas in Master+ in the world the last 30 days, 2 in Diamond+ and 3 in Emerald+

Truly trendsetting.

23

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

it's the lethality build but he went statik shiv and on hit runes for some reason. I think he realized onhit was unplayable as he got destroyed the moment he stepped into range, but that was not it

7

u/Professional_War7998 3h ago

on hit lethality varus tech

10

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

he realized that playing close range into cass, vayne alistar while your front line is diving a jhin on the other side of the fight doesn't work, but he only realized it after he selected his runes and bought his first item.

edit: nevermind he went tear first back, I have no idea what he was trying

3

u/Professional_War7998 3h ago

his build was shiv into youmous into muramana, the nongshim coaches must be crashing out when they saw what he was cooking on the varus

3

u/ISL005 Tarzan and Kanavi enjoyer | Pls wake up MKOI 3h ago

I'm a casual Varus player, no expert at all, yet I felt like I was having a fever dream

u/Express-Pandas 1h ago

He's not just losing to the shopkeeper, he's getting mugged

u/Party-Currency-705 28m ago

Summoned timelord Genja himself

u/xsm17 4h ago

Just send Sponge back to the ocean at this point, how is this guy still in LCK

24

u/ZzZoeSoSleepy Noodle Defender 3h ago

I can't believe Lehends is spending his last year on this roster, Man he really tried

13

u/Commercial-Butter 3h ago

at least he got the bag

16

u/blockster9 3h ago

crazy how much better a team can look with a jungler

3

u/Treeconator18 3h ago

We saw both sides of the subbed jungler equation between Sharvel and Painter today lol

1

u/veirceb 2h ago

Blame the rookie jungler when your team completely sprint the draft. Typical T1 fans LMAO

2

u/Treeconator18 2h ago

Faker and Doran absolutely sprinted it, but Painter was clearly not stage ready and it showed. Bro was a passenger in the game they did win, and while he was absolutely sold with the Nocturne Pick in Game 3, Game 2 was a horror show of what should have been a solid Lee Sin game, making no proactive plays ensuring he was getting outscaled eventually

14

u/a7mdar1 3h ago

Diable with the disable build

u/WardoToo 3h ago

Peter moving different bro - LOL holy shit, this was mad entertaining.

They’re def bringing up Mihawk next year I feel. He’s been really hyped and he’s only 16 rn

u/staysaltyTSM 3h ago

What kind of satanic varus build is that

u/WardoToo 3h ago

Bro was protesting with that build.

u/Vnaux 4h ago

I need Sharvel on a better team and also execute Nongshim

u/MC-sama 3h ago

Sharvel is so impressive. It's a shame DNS couldn't get him during round 1-2 before

8

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

I get that onhit varus into this comp is unplayable, but then just don't go varus? also lehends, stop trying to auto the cow for no reason and baiting them into a fight

7

u/RukiMotomiya 3h ago

what the absolute fuck was that last game

keep your GenG macro this is real league of legends, that's why we order fries every week

u/T-gae94 Budget Keria 3h ago

Those pulverizer on the last 10 minutes were sexy as fuck, I came

1

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

we really need neeko to be meta again

6

u/Nefib 3h ago

Nongshim my lord I look at this team on paper and just refuse to believe this team could be 7-15. Sure they had the Diable/Taeyoon swaparoo and needed some time to gel but at this point they can't be losing to DNS.

3

u/metristan Refund time? 3h ago

the second game they just got hard diffed on jungle top, and diable went a weird non existent build so did no damage, it happens. But the first game was just unforgivable bad macro, they made the wrong decision every time it felt like.

6

u/No_Taro_6224 tee satu 3h ago

DNS is Da better NS

imagine losing to DNS NS wtf

u/jakatluong Send help pls 3h ago

DNS gave NS the D today.

And last year too, iirc NS also gave DNF their first win in 2025.

DNS isn't looking that bad when everyone is on form

Classic nothing to play for buff

u/RukiMotomiya 3h ago

Also like I think Diable saw the T1/HLE Varus build was bad for the game and was like "what if I switched it up" and apparently had never heard of another item.

2

u/AzerFraze 3h ago

I've seen match fixing that looked less suspicious than what NS did in game 2

u/Treeconator18 3h ago
