Discussion Just hit Masters for the first time Playing Sett ADC. Tips/Learnings!

4 Upvotes

proof: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/Brown%20Flame-NA1

tl;dr:
#1) ghost/flash
#2) ask for engage supp for the best synergy.
#3) insanely fun! soak up damage, blast that E stun + W cannon and summersault that bih
#4) double positive as ADC -> scale damage + survive assassins
#5) GENUINELY GIVE IT A TRY ITS BUSTED (except against hyper carries)

Why Sett ADC?

Ranged ADCs are squishy and have little impact early game besides poke. Top lane has a million bad matchups for sett (gnar oof) but bot lane is freelo especially with an engage support. Sett actually has everything you need for a successful melee bot that doesn't die to the usual ADC threats:

  • healing/tankiness: insane passive regen - survive poke easily
  • damage: true damage (W) that can one shot and scales
  • utility: insane utlity with E stun + teamfight engage (R)
  • speed: builds swifties + Q speed boost and you catch up to EVERYBODY

Runes & Spells

  • Spells: Flash + Ghost
  • Primary: PTA
  • Secondary: Second Wind + Unflinching (Helps with Supp CC's) + Slow Resistant Rune

Laning Phase (Levels 1–5)

  • Levels 1–2: Soak XP, give up CS if needed. Do not get poked down for free. Let them push into you.
  • Level 3 Spike: Bush control is key. When they step up: E (stun off minions/support) -> AA -> Q (reset).
  • W Mechanics: NEVER press W early and try to wait for a stun if you can. Build full Grit ensures you can actually oneshot.
  • R - Fuck em up! Does hella damage and amazing if there's an enemy tank that tries to engage

Core Build (usual from geishu)

  1. Boots: Swifties - EVERYTIME
  2. Core Items: Stridebreaker + Black Cleaver + Overlords

Discussion The current problem with Sett, and why he's actually weak

33 Upvotes

Edit: I should note this all comes from the perspective of one tricking sett in high elo (masters+) for a couple years

Over time riot keeps exclusively putting power in setts W, they have forced his power budget into a single ability to apeal to lower elos without actually addressing the issues that make him weak

Even when you look at mid Elo's sett's win rate consistently falls lower as you encounter better kiting and peel through the ranks, the game sett was designed around has shifted and become more mobile over time.

And this doesn't just effect good players, it's baked into the system. An example is with the addition of t3 boots on mid quest, sett has become unable to stick on even the more immobile mages. even with the Additional help of stride breaker, an item sett is forced to build every game.

Another thing is his build, his stream lined power budget leads to a lack of any build variety for the champ. Check every good players build and it' always the same 4 items.

stride breaker, black cleaver, overlords bloodmail and steraks.

Forcing his W to be only part of his kit worth building for, forces him to build the same combination of move speed, ad and hp every single game. He has very little breathing room to build the stronger figher items that the rest of the champions in his class get access too.

His forced into weak itemization to play for an ability that severely limits his versatility in fights.

His W in my opinion does too much damage, it's eating the power budget of sett as a champion. Causing him to have less mobility and damage on Q. Causing him to rely on his higher Cooldown abilities, especially his E.

Sett's E has become an ability exclusively used to land W damage, it's become less viable to use it for gap close or damage because his W is so important. the rest of his kits play style then becomes about how to best get value out of a single ability.

He doesn't get to have catch out in his Q or E because it would make his W too easy to hit. Removing power from W would allow Sett to have lower Cooldown E's as him getting to use 2 in a fight is less of an issue.

It could also allow Sett to have more mobility on Q. And let's compare sett Q to other bruisers like Garen or Volibear, both their Q abilities have more move speed, omni directional move speed and longer movespeed duration. Garen even gets a slow cleanse on his while already have tenacity on his W.

All this utility that lets the champions function in modern league that sett doesn't get access too.

Discussion Bork & build order

0 Upvotes

Why does everyone get mad at me when I build Bork? Like I get that everyone loves to build W-centric sett builds, but his autos are decent. Bork helps with early game (especially against typical top picks) and mixes well with Cleaver.

My build is unconventional, though. I go Bork, cleaver, stride, heartsteel, warmogs, and jaksho. I know it's bad not to get boots, but I usually end up selling the boots for the extra armor late game. Maybe I only succeed because I'm low rank, but idk, I always seem to do better than Setts I go against because of how unoptimozed their build feels.

Also separate thing, but the standard build order is stupid. Stride first neuters damage output against tanks/bruisers, and only really works against squishies like teemo.

Semi rant over. Lmk if I'm crazy.

Discussion Off meta picks top lane against Sett

0 Upvotes

I don't know what the reason is but for some reason I always lose top lane when I am playing against an off meta pick. Usually I win lane or atleast don't feed but when I am meeting off meta then I don't know what to do, it is like my brain doesn't work even though I am a otp Sett. Is it just a thing for me or is it so for everyone?

It’s not exactly a "wow" play, but it always cracks me up how there’s always an ADC who charges up your W.

Discussion just played a game vs renekton.

0 Upvotes

im going to say this once and forever. renekton is the worst matchup in existence for sett. renekton is so unbalanced and broken you cant win. I swear on my whole family and my whole future family and everything i ever love, this is so stupid i lost one fight and then renekton 100 to 0s me under tower and i cant w. This champ is so unbelievable unabalanced its insane. if someone disagrees i wont listen to you, i play in high diamond and its impossible i perma ban him now never in my life will i see a renekton top, vayne, kennen, malphite, teemo is way much better.

Here's my op.gg if you guys have any tips/advice to give
https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/Nhifuu-NA1

Ignore the jungle garen games, Sett got banned one game and I thought I was being creative.
Also it's my chill pick so I'm not really kiting jungle camps or rushing for 3 minute clears lol

If you got a high rank account I'd like to steal your replays to watch!
