if i missed anything in the video feel free to ask any questions below. I’ll make a guide on whatever the most liked comment says next! :)

[@calebjay9483]

When is the ambessa guide?

[@Aatreuslol]

@@calebjay9483 👀👀 i’ll probably finish up ksante guides before i start ambessa but they’re coming!

[@blipbloup7168]

W video, so much better than other guide cause u really explain the thought process behind the choices, but I realized that u nearly always take aftershock now not grasp or the bookrune (forgot the name) why ?

[@Aatreuslol]

@@blipbloup7168 it gives alot more value compared to grasp, i'll explain in detail i have a video for it coming :)

[@qsaka9366]

thanks for this guide! could you help me understand how to behave at the laning stage, during ganks and during team fights, because this is a very difficult moment, thank you very much for this great guide, it’s just that I have 47 games and 25% winrate, and I don’t understand why( U r the best!

[@XionTheSylveon]

Hell yeah. We're not yielding with this one ya'll! Also very thankful that you chose to get much more solid data over a larger sample size & period of testing on items.

[@Blackmagechow]

You’re the man. I swear the building on this champ takes so much more prep than any champ

[@jibbe7658]

Thank you for the information! Cant wait for more :)

[@suro8765]

Great video man. I almost wish it didn't drop, I instantly know the K'Sante is going to suck when he goes back and returns with a Sheen first item.

[@artpear7787]

you are a beast! thanks for this guide

[@CaseyOSorry]

Hello, thanks for the guide! Really appreciate how you're being so careful with the guide. I'd also love an in-depth rune guide; there's so much I could learn from it. I'm especially curious about why you go aftershock against melee champions. I thought the rune was good against ranged champions, but I default to grasp against melee champions. Do you handle the matchups and trading patterns differently according to these rune choices? How to choose between Revitalize and Overgrowth? Do you ever take Spellbook, or is Aftershock just better in any situation? When do you take Domination tree over Inspiration as secondary runes? How are sorcery and precision secondary? Thanks again for all the wisdom, your uploads make my day!

[@alessandropoussart-mulas]

Id love to see the answer to these as well :3

[@RizedTV]

We need this answers for sure, this is a good coment.

Amazing guide, thanks for this

[@aladin6816]

Could You explain or make video about how to play Ksnate in general, what are his pros and cons, how to play in early , which matchups are good which are bad, do splitpush or 5v5 etc . I know they are guides about it, but i want to hear that from best Ksante.

[@nampham1765]

Loved the guide, when do you take Overgrowth and when do you take Revitelize?

Yipi now i can int and realize it thanks to the guide

[@CreepyCat2001]

So, I am a new K'sante main, i'm Bronze 2. I Watch many Guides from creators like AloisNL, it helped me understanding Fundermentals of a top laner, Then i found you i worked with your tips, i always win lane like 90% of the time.. but i lose the game despite my lead, because i don't know what to do when i am ahead and I'm very slow at taking turrets.

[@8ouhl]

I love your content bro! Can you post more vods, or is there another channel for your full gameplays?

[@Aatreuslol]

vods are on my twitch, but i'll try and work towards pushing out more individual games/vods :)

[@8ouhl]

@@Aatreuslol Sounds good bro, love u :D

[@Ricardonesz]

finally

[@sadgirlapplesauce]

Love the content! Can you make a quick guide on combos/ mechanics for a gold player?

[@lightfall5308]

When grasp and when aftershock, and why domination runes for secondary sometimes. Ty for the vid Im from EUW and loved to learn about it

[@Aatreuslol]

rune video out tomorrow explaining it!

[@EndymionFRSmkII]

Huge

[@jamesthe6530]

Will you be making a rune guide?

[@Ricardonesz]

i think go aftershock every game its kinda nice

[@Ricardonesz]

atleast against ranged matchups

[@Aatreuslol]

yes! its coming tomorrow

[@JS0824-d3v]

I have a couple questions regarding K'sante in the jungle (I know not his preferred role haha!) Having played him in the jungle now consistently for the past 4-5 months I have found a lot of success based off of watching your videos for runes and itemization with taking aftershock, shield bash, etc. into inspiration. However, something that I would love to gain insight on is how to itemize in the jungle as K'sante because it seems like such new, or rather unknown territory. Do you build resistances for those enemy lanes that get ahead? Do you rush bami's cinder or sheen early for the clear time? I have found rushing the resistances to be quite strong when against a dueling jungler, but falling behind on camps due to not buying some sort of jungle clear item. If you have any insight into this I would love to know your thoughts.

[@Aatreuslol]

i have never played jungle ksante i could not help u my man

[@JS0824-d3v]

@@Aatreuslol No worries, just experimenting and figured would ask one of the best 👍🏻

[@Twoby]

I saw on synapse you’ve been trying Ambessa out. Are you liking her? And will you be playing her regularly or just testing cause she’s new?

[@Aatreuslol]

@@Twoby will be playing her regularly, she’s super fun

[@nooneatall5612]

When do you build refillable pot? I find when I buy it I often end up not having a slot open for magicalf ootwear

[@jakiii368]

i would just love if they gave him a hp scaling on ult omnivamp again and of course decrease the base omnivamp numbers to like 15% flat and 5% per 1000 bonus hp or smh and well of course some less armor and mr reduction in ult for an excanche of less cc duration on w and less e shield

[@tharkun3458]

10:52 in the magic resist build you dont put doran shield than me you start with the +20 magic resist item ?

[@SurinamElephant]

Is Jaksho worth for just the dmg ? Just had the Game: Ksante, Gragas, Varus (Mid), Jinx, Rell Malphite, Zac, Ahri, Vayne, Pyke My 4 Items were: Mercs, Jaksho, Fimbul, Desapair, Spirit. Would you go Iceborn or Jaksho here ? I felt like Jaksho wouldn't do too much bc of Vayne and Ahri True dmg and Iceborn could theoretically help with sticking onto them, but building Iceborn feels so weird. I was thinking about frozen heart or even force of nature for movement speed but yeah.

[@broyooo1009]

And should you build force of nature into burn matchups ?

[@VacioBizarro]

what heals you at 0:14?

[@rohangaming4475]

Unending despair

[@elektron1x]

What’s the best item/rune build on Ksante vs Morde? I had the worst game of my life, I wanted to throw out my pc

[@Aatreuslol]

rune video will be out tomorrow :)

[@LT_I_AM]

Why is Fimbulwinter a good item on Ksante? In my mind it's usually MR/ARMOR = All Out damage

[@pokenoobmx3445]

when i sit on 3 components, then my boots pop and with the doran shield it gets a little difficult to really finish items, any tips?

[@herbikin]

So considering the shield build is this good, in what type of matchup is it worth delaying by building in gauntlet?

[@Tartiv]

lmao Pobelter shook

[@zeflin2110]

Thoughts on scorch? On second tree

[@Aatreuslol]

scorch is solid but not as good as other options in my opinion

[@daqqahlikirep]

When can we expect the ksante rune guide ?

[@yucca7286]

have you ever tried deadmans platea on him?

[@broyooo1009]

if your at very engame and get cloudsoul is it worth to sell boots and get another mr/armor item?

[@felixbelanger-gingras723]

yo whats up aatreus i cant copy the item set into league. Could you help me with that ?

[@VegaMK2]

Why is E max better?

[@jago1996]

I love how awkward he speaks. "well.... I'll tell you why"

[@vroomvroom4031]

What’s the reasoning for going tear second back instead of first back? Want to understand to have a better ksante

[@Aatreuslol]

i like to back on alot of resists, it kind of just depends how much gold you have, for example if you have 1100 then go chain cloth but if u have 1200 then chain tear is ideal.

[@crazysans3311]

Is jakzho not necessary anymore? I sometimes see you go jaksho and sometimes not, what sort of thinking process do you take when deciding to get the item?

[@Aatreuslol]

if enemy team damage is evenly split, it’s a nice option

[@lupuz3269]

are we ever getting an aatreus sett video?

[@Aatreuslol]

when hullbreaker meta is back sure

[@gong3075]

I wonder how to choose the boot and is that early boot help better for stack resis in early game?

[@gong3075]

And when u buy tear and when dont

[@stefanmantz1851]

i go shield build if i have at least 1 enchanter on team and if the enemy doesnt have a lot of dps

[@Aatreuslol]

its a pretty reliable build aslong as enemy team is mostly melee!

[@Tartiv]

whos mans

[@aaronsandoval2910]

I don’t understand how you manage to survive so long I use the same build / runes (sometimes grasp instead of aftershock), but I feel like I just get deleted in team fights no matter what and do no damage , I’ve watched your videos and I just can’t get it down. I faced Gwen top and just got destroyed.

[@painxsphere1943]

Maybe you didn't play well mechanically or have bad resets

[@aaronsandoval2910]

@ most definitely was on me. I’m just not on that level, ksante is one of my favorite champs but I’m terrible at playing him

[@painxsphere1943]

@@aaronsandoval2910 is fine to play him bad mechanically at first but make sure that you learn how to do his combos.

[@idivant1470]

why you dropped grasp?

[@Aatreuslol]

vid coming out on runes very soon but basically aftershock is much more value

[@idivant1470]

@@Aatreuslol ty

[@tharkun3458]

So e is a better max than w ?

[@Aatreuslol]

yes, e max gives more value compared to w max.

[@KZ-sx9ew]

How come you have a tear every single game? Why not just take a mana rune instead of magic boots and effectively save 100 gold while being able to build boots earlier. (really strong into spacing mu) Also why finish fimbulwinter? it doesnt give any resists and rarely gives you better ehp. (it admittedly is really good into max hp true dmg mu though)

[@temps9097]

how to play into illaoi?

[@Aatreuslol]

stand behind minions, trade with her when her e is on cd.

[@temps9097]

@ yeah i mean, I know that as well but is there any counter play when she hits E? like idk its better to run or trow her away or so

[@terceljiminez1556]

This is why K'sante is so unbearable to play at low elo. There is no standard to him! He has to adapt to literally every single game he plays, which makes him such an unstable champion to try to climb with.

[@Aatreuslol]

he takes time to learn, but you’re heavily rewarded for doing so

[@bleh8407]

playing tank generally bad in low elo even if you win lane you dont have damage enough to do 1v9 you still need to peel crayon eater adc not to mention you have to play a game where your teammates go aram fight die,repeat while you have to answer enemy cringe yorick,garen,tryndamere split pushers even if you kill them in lane 5 times because your team has zero macro knowledge
