Muramana build still viable? Looks fun

sheeeesh

why take lethal tempo instead of conqueror?

(1) |

Early is way stronger, however conqueror is better on most games now, need to update guide!

It looks like even more people are dropping nashors for cosmic drive or even demonic embrace or deathcap second. What’s your take on this?

Yeah agree with you, but I don't think the OP is going to indulge us lol. :/
But also the take of LT instead of CQ is crazy to me. ;)

thx

What do you think about Cosmic Drive? I see some people going for it over Nashors, is it high elo only thing?

This isn't my guide but I really had to respond to this. Nashor's Tooth should ALWAYS should be built on Gwen. The stats she gets from Nashor's fits almost perfectly in her kit. Cosmic Drive is a decent item on Gwen because it helps her chase down opponents to reposition her Q's or autos but it should never be valued more than Nashor's. Picking up Cosmic Drive on Gwen isn't a bad thing but it should really only be built last because other items can offer her more in different situations.

Why level her Q instead of her E first? Her E wins you so many trades early game

Hey, My bad it was a mistake in the guide, thanks for telling me!

No problem! Also a question, is there ever a situation where going Conqueror would be better than Lethsl Tempo, or do you always prefer the latter on Gwen? I thought most people would go Conq so i'm curious

me encanto

I have a question (2 really)
-Why you can deny Darius's E but not Sett E and w
-6 point on Q?

Nice guide btw,

(1) |

Hey, If sett is out of your W yes you can deny his E and W
ALso de 6 point on Q its mb xD

So Sett is not an extreme threat? Is the same as Darius? Cuz i found Easier Sett than Darius.
Maybe is just powerspike.

About Volibear countering Gwen extremely hard is something I strongly disagree with. First off, you can easily dodge his E if he stuns you then uses it. If he uses it to engage you can easily just back off and dash away. More importantly though, you can Q before getting stunned. If he didn't E to engage and he used it after stunning you, that's direct damage to him and not protected by his shield. Afterwards, you can dodge his E and dash behind him then start kiting him around with your auto attacks. He is a pretty big threat if he can land his combo, but its easily avoidable, and you can turn bad situations into good ones easily. That's just my opinion though.

Also, what do you mean she has no mobility in teamfights and is an easy target. Her E is on a 3 second cooldown in teamfights and her Ultimate slows which helps her close gaps. If she needs to disengage, she can use her other Ultimate charges to back off and heal. Gwen definitely isn't an easy target, her W forces a fight with herself and the enemy front line. She can completely negate the entire backline for 5 seconds which is enough to burst the front line. Again, she has a 3 second dash which makes her extremely hard to hit with skill shots.

I do agree that voli is kind of a skill matchup atm, when i wrote the guide i didnt know the matchup well so i thought it was a counter.

Hey, I have my own Gwen guide, here, and I was wondering if you could help me out. Not even necessarily with my guide but just some of the questions I have with Gwen in general. For a start, why do you max Q first? I know that for when you jungle with Gwen you max Q first for the clear speed but I personally haven't had any problems in terms of wave clear to think about maxing it first in top lane.
