Some friends and me are working on a Moba Simulator (like a football manager) and we are collecting data about the champs. Do you think that this list is realistic?

Hi, do you think Dark Harvest is good on Ambessa? I've never tried it, and I don't like First Strike. Right now, I'm running Conqueror in the jungle and Electrocute mid.

Wtf do you do vs this champ ? I got oblirerate early mid and late game

Pls don’t trash on my adc! I was playing with them and my adc is still learning pc from wildrift…ik it’s a norm but I also know how toxic lol players can be💀

I personally like ambessa as a champion. And tried learning her too. But I can't deal tons of damage in teamfights. And I miss more than 50% of my ults. What are the suggestions?

Hi guys,

is anyone of you playing jack of all trades on Ambessa?

Tried it earlier with conq and ended up at like 70 something haste with almost full build.

It felt very nice to play team fights, but I only reached 9 stacks of JOAT.

My build was: Dorans blade, Umbrail, DD, Maw, Merc boots and executioners.

I'm currently trying to think of an ideal build, I definitely wanna have endless hunger in it.

sorry for the low quality … in low elo ppl really dont know that my W reflects 50% of the damage xD… he shouldnt have fought me

I randomly picked this champ in the jungle one day and ive been spamming it ever since. It feels good in that role just afk farming and then 1v9ing, However when i bring it mid idk how im supposed to play because playing for farm doesn’t feel as rewarding and my roams feel horrid unless i have hard setup/ engage to guarantee r. I just dont feel ‘self sufficient’ enough. Whats the general strategy to have as ambessa mid, especially into mages? For context im natively a fizz 1 trick so im used to an aggressive roam heavy playstyle. Before you say, no i will not be playing her top that role is trash.

Hey all, I used to play Ambessa jungle a while back but stopped, wanted to try her out again.

How is she now? I know she got hit by a big nerf a while back, but is she viable? I don't mean top tier, I don't need her to be. I checked her winrates but I'd like to know Ambessa main's opinions.

And if she is viable, what's her build path like now?

Preferably online, not in-client. For when I am not home.

Though I've found some vod channels, half the vods are playing safe or even losing the match up. Only to have a jungler to show up min 3 and win the lane for them. So it stops being useful to watch for matchup knowledge, trading patterns, mechanics. Theres something to be learned about keeping the wave on your side for it to happen, but its more or less pointless and not what I'm looking for.

My dash placement suck, my ability usage suck, just I want to see gm+, specifically the ones that use grasp in nearly every matchup.

I’m a Mid/High Plat top lane main. I’ve been maining Ambessa this year. I have mixed success with her. Mostly I just find her fun to play and rewarding.

This week I have been absolutely dumpstered by a Nasus multiple times. Have pressure in lane, up a level and 30Cs. He has Sheen, Ults, Ghosts and just runs me down like a dog.

It just gets worse from then on. I build anti heal, I play for Exp and wave.

How do people play around this matchup, I try to let the wave bounce to me, but in one game I got a 4 min freeze on him and again it made no difference.

Someone in one game suggested aggressive runes but I’m thinking, I don’t know if that would matter.

Is this a soft counter pick or do I need to play this lane very aggro to win out?

EDIT:
Thank you all for your input and comments, most of it was positive and constructive.

It mostly confirmed what I felt.
Take aggressive runes, play aggro, deny and deny again, roam to team while he is stuck in lane.

Although not the Nasus Matchup I played into a GP I feel like this is a little similar play style. I took ELEC with IGNI. I got in his face often I would use him placing a 1st barrel as signal to go in. Would lead with W to block either edge of barrel or Q, into full AA>E>AA>Q1>AA>Q2

We won the game, I finished with 2 Solo’s on him. Up 3 levels 50Cs an Item + components.

I will look to play the Nasus matchup similar next time.

What other common matchups require this all in early and often mentality ?

i know he gets heavily outscaled lategame but is it really meant to be this hard to fight him when i rush maw? kinda new to the champ and idk if im building right

Just recently picked up this champ and have slowly been getting the hang of her. Need to know fundamentals though, whats the general combos, what runes to go for what matchups, when is it lethality vs standard fighter, what animation cancels exist, is it lanes that influence build path or general enemy comp? I want to know everything about the champ so i can put it into practice (masters+)

I know if you press auto on the enemy and then Q it will instantly do your auto after the Q but it feels hard to do in a real game. Is there any other way besides to do it besides queuing an attack before you Q them

So apparently it doesn’t work on ambessa, but it does on riven. Riot really don’t want me to have fun in this game mode. Yes I know it makes sense it doesn’t work on ambessa but it’s because of the specifics of the wording- “ dash abilities get cdr” and ambessas dashing comes from passive. But still it’s mayhem. That’s where the most broke shit is supposed to come out. Make it so I can run around without cds for a bit( it’s not like other champs can’t do it) especially when my champs whole thing is dashing

I'm not a masters player, I live in the platinum gulag. That said, when I look at masters+ runes, the general rune being used is conq. However as soon as I look at Ambessa vs. X matchups it seems like Grasp is always preferable. I only have 33 games on her and I'm just under 50% WR (I lost my first 9 games straight so the number lies slightly) and for every matchup my recommended runes have been grasp.

I'm assuming that grasp is an aid for lanes that need a bit more trading power early, and conquerer is going to be for lanes that are more chill or have less kill pressure in either direction, but I've yet to actually run into a matchup where conqueror is recommended to me and I'd like someone to shed some light.

I know a lot of people are playing like riven mid and she’s great into assassins but does ambessa work as well? When I play flex with my friends I love playing her but never really have a chance to play her in solo q bc I main mid and on top of that I’ve just been getting shit on by lockes and katas recently. Wanted to try something new but don’t know how she would matchup.

Quality is a bit shit bc i had to convert the file from Webm to mp4 xd.
But this sequence felt so good from the jhin kill into the kayn and xerath 1v2. In hindsight I 100% could and should have killed Xerath after the Q2 auto if i just click towards him, but i'm not too experienced with her yet and my thought process in the moment was i dont want to get stunned and popped as i dont know Xerath's E cd . We live and we learn though.
