Other strong things I could have mentioned but left out to keep the video from going over 20 minutes: Vladimir is right up there with Rengar in the perma ban tier, his items are ridiculously good. Cosmic drive / Liandries / Riftmaker are all so good on him AD Twisted Fate after recent buffs has become a monster, just needed more time to assess how good it really is but I am pretty sure it's completely OP Kalista in high elo / pro play is menace with BORK now proc'ing on the first auto and with items like rageblade and terminus being strong - however this doesn't apply to like 99% of players Katarina and Akali even after several nerfs to stormsurge are still really OP Karma just got buffed and every one is spamming her with Malignance for very low mantra cooldown. She is clearly strong but I think it's a bit overrated actually. Check out my stream :) www.twitch.tv/kellenexil
Yeah on the ad tf, I was convinced it was weak in patch notes, I started playing it. Then I realized I was playing it like AP tf and still winning games and fights. The more I play it the more I discover that the 60% attack speed on e is next level unbalanced.
Bard has been my main for 5+ years and the new trailblazer is such a good and fun item on him. I usually vary my build a lot depending on what the team needs but almost always take trailblazer, it just helps Bard do things Bard always wants to do regardless but better. It fits with tank builds, with dps builds, burst builds, roam builds, it’s great
this is such a sick idea man, can't wait to see the best builds of the patch without people trying to sell me a course! have you got any plans on more league history videos to come out?
@@Exil22 cant wait, vars has been trying to fill the void recently but the longform content is what i live for, your bard video got me into your channel
@@143tg its more just the constant commercial advertisement at every opportunity that interrupts me watching. Also the builds arent always great and they tend to show/say the wrong things a lot cause its hasnt been revised before being pumped out to people, which can be pretty confusing imo
these kind of videos are amazing! as someone who wants to improve, it gives such a good insight into what builds are good and WHY they are good. Knowing exactly why the build is good feels like its so much more important than just copy the build from a random site. Amazing stuff.
Took a 2 month break from League due to work and personal life, played my first games this weekend and loved it. This video was great timing, just hoping to hit diamond this season playing champs I enjoy so this vid was great - thanks Exil :)
I love, love. This video concept. I must admit I am a little worried about burnout on your end from doing it every patch, I think even every two patches would be plenty. But if your workflow works for it, I love this idea. Also: MY LIL MAN CORKI IS WINNING AND FOR THE SECOND TIME I HAVE PREDICTED A CORKI BUILD THAT BECAME META!!! :D
I hope one day old champions (or items) documentaries will come back on your channel, they were truly amazing, I’m still watching them after 5 years… Thank you so much man
I definitely will not be adding tiers - it's overdone and makes people think they can only play "S tier" I will just be discussing what is good and strong based on my experience
HoB Ekko was build for some time but almosy exclusively by ekko mains/otps. It was taken in matchups vs champs that had skillshot at lvl 1 (Syndra Q, Zed Q, Orianna Q etc.), you would take E lvl 1 and bait their spell, dodge it with E, jump on them, proc passive with HoB and run away with almost no counterplay for enemy.
I have a build I've been using on Wukong Jungle. Since lethality items have been super strong lately I tried it out. While not OP, it's a great alt. If you want that burst build on him. I rush Profane, get Voltaic Cyclosword, then Shojin. For jungle item, its up to preference but I get the green one for a bit of tankiness but blue if you want more speed. Profane has a lot of stats you'd want early on Wukong, Voltaic helps with chasing and burst, then Shojin helps you stick to your target if you haven't killed them yet. There are other lethality builds out there but this one works the best for me.
My pocket pick (that I started learning for collegiate Esports) has been maokai top. You build bamis then the op tank items. Your only issue is mana, which you can help fix with a 400g tear (and later a fimbulwinter,) or with careful proccing of mana runes. Into free matchups like Darius, I even take Presence of Mind
yeah I went nuts when I first saw how many items Ingenious Hunter worked with. There are 48 items not counting trinkets which is just an unreal number of valid targets. Part of what makes ingenious so good is that it gives you 16% CDR at level 1 right from the start of the game which gives you 33 seconds off of your ward trinket cooldown. Once stacked up you get 33% from just this one rune.
I’m a Shaco main, specifically AP Shaco, so you already know I’m excited for the new AP items cause they feel so great on him (after all the bug fixes lol). And the QoL changes they made for him with his clone mimicking his spells are SO NICE DUDE!! But one build I’ve been absolutely falling in love with is First Strike hybrid Shaco jungle. First Strike felt really good because that extra gold income was helpful as Shaco is very item reliant. But you can also use dark harvest for scaling or even HoB for better early skirmishes. Also, you take flash with this build instead of ignite and you lose a little bit of kill pressure but you trade that for INSANE mobility. Flash can help you catch the enemy off guard as well as bail you out of situations where you’re a sitting duck due to your Q being on cd. For items, I rush collector and then immediately build malignance + liandrys and shadow flame. Early AD is much needed for Shaco and the collector especially is super nice because I’ve lost count how many times its execute passive netted me an unexpected kill. Your E actually deals execute damage and it feels insanely good. Plus, you get even MORE extra gold from collector as well. Come mid-game, with three items, I would be executing people from half health and they would be so confused💀🤡 the options for this champion’s build paths are actually insane. S14 is looking fun and exciting for sure!!
Cant imagine what its like to learn the game fresh in season 14… Personally I started in season 4 and am still dogshit at the game lol I currently reside in the hell I belong in… Emerald 4 😂
The lichbane attack speed was huge for my own ahri builds. I always played her as more of a discount APC DPS with riftmaker and glacial augment, letting other champs be the burst for the backline while I poured damage into whatever I could reach. With the lichbane buff, riftmaker becoming a legendary, and being able to pair it with ludens, my winrate with spell dancer ahri shot through the roof, not to say what happenes when I get magilance
I love this! I never know where to look what's currently strong and not good enough to figure out on my own, so having a place to get to know, what is currently strong und where the meta is sitting right now, is really nice! Please continue this.
As a Cait onetrick, that comment on her hit home. It's been a difficult season so far, although the Titanic Hydra build can be legit, thanks to it letting you duplicate headshots with the auto reset
I was an otp Hail of blade ekko for more than 4 Years now, but Hail of blade Ekko has been unplayable for more than 4 Years because of a bug, i have reported this bug to riot ever since, countless of times, asked friends to do it too, it never got fixed. I fucking hate riot games so much some times.
I love the items and I am so happy mythics where removed. They just need to tune the items which will take time, because it is hard to tell if the item or the user(s) are to strong. Currently just happily spamming Senna + Sion bot games with my duo, we just reached diamond with 73% win rate together with 26 games. (Senna seems also really strong right now, at least in winrate)
Amazing idea. I always love to watch your videos. They are so informative, interesting, well written and just amazing to listen to. Keep em coming friend. Can’t wait
Just to add, the new tank item and frozen heart works wonders for bard as well. The Bard OTP is R1 on EUW currently with it, and I've won 8/9 games so far :D
The HoB ekko is insane. The rune was in the game all this time, completely unchanged. Ekko didn't even receive any Atk speed buff's but nobody experimented, so it never existed, but was essentially this strong on him since S11.
13:15 Major cope on your part. You probably skilled W level 1 (bcs your probably not an OTP and think me can trade W haha) which you could optimize next game and take Q instead and block most of the DMG (if your goal is to preserve health as it should be). Also It's hard to judge from a far but most likely you had to respect it or Q it or even AA-W-AA which will delete most of his health bcs he probably was in your wave. Going Dshild also helps if you're really struggling. Generally you should never lose this matchup and blaming the rune is a hard cope and It's honestly pretty cheap. I looked at the game, you took the wrong runes, a suboptimal setup. Kassadin is just not good in hands of not OTPs (noobs). You started E which is a hard mistake in that matchup skill Q or W. ONLY skill E if you can last hit all 3 melees with it but in Ekko matchup dont take it at all tbh Q or W is so much better. Cookies are hard troll for Kassa and with cookies it makes even less sense that you died its a pure skill issue at that point with all that survivability you should have easily lived until first base (which is most important for Kassa). Going double Ap can be done but usally AP + Haste is better. Secondary runes are also messed up. Always go sudden impact+ Ultimate hunter for domination otherwise go resolve when u think you will die. Next time go bone plating and BOOM you win every trade.PLS dont cope if you dont know the champ. You had counterplay you're just not good and lack insight to Kassa. (rushing boots can be ok but honestly its troll in this game you will never out roam him especially if he has a lead on you. Your objective should be to keep him stuck in lane you dont need boots for that xd). If enemy has ignite your so far ahead instantly unless its some hard counter matchup like panth, talon... Remember Ignite needs to create value, Tp has value just by existing. Legit, just get 2 Good bases and you won lane. Kassa is all about optimization. If you don't know how to optimize, you will just lose.
What I find overlooked is Sejuani, she is secretly OP: buy sunfire/mr new sunfire, heartsteel, then abyssal mask or iceborn (depending On enemy team comp) and after those four finish with thornmail. Damn she has tone of damage this way, couple of games i finished with the most damage dealt in team, you can actively prey on carries
Udyr main here, and I'm here to tell you, you've not seen a tank Udyr yet this season. As R max archetype, run unending despair & fimbulwinter with ingenious hunter of course. Add jak'sho to add insane value to your unending despair & fimbulwinter & W heal and shield & awakened W heal and shield. Enemies need an absurd combined DPS to take you down because if they can't go over the threshhold where unending despair and awakened W heal you thousands of HP back up, you'll just never die with this build. Sure frozen heart and kaernic rookern make you a tough bastard, but they don't last you in teamfights that last 4 minutes long.
First off I love the series, I was wondering though when you mention champions that certain items do well with for example the top lane spear build that aatrox, riven, and fiora do well with I know it sounds weird but when you pop the images up it's easier for me to know what champs and to understand it better. Also I LOVE the series and I plan on listening to all tips/trick you end up uploading.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't Luden's Companion receive no benefit from Ingenious Hunter as it's stacks are not generated on cooldown rather a count up?
I believe this is correct yeah? However it does reduce CD of lich bane and cryptbloom. Ludens is just your best mana item for ahri, it's also getting buffed next patch. Generally though yes Ludens is pretty underwhelming
@@Exil22 I personally prefer Malignance over Luden's for the additional 20 haste on ult plus the DoT AoE with Resistance reduction, though I understand the Luden's means you're not obligated to all-in for the full item value.
Amazing video concept. A UA-cam i actually enjoy watching telling us about new builds! (Also riot please make crit items good again I would like to not see only lethality and mage bot laners for 10,000 years)
I honestly think that hubris feels so niche because someone like a talon does his job reguardless of the extra 40 ad hubris might or might not give which isnt enough fot him to kill tanks anyway. So items that actually help him are more utility based like ghostblade and oppurtunity or EoN
Good video! You covered most of the most important builds. Could've talked about on-hit ADCs being very strong partially due to new item Terminus. Especially Varus and Kalista
Can always expect good stuff from this channel. Although I’m not the most competitive player, I still found this video very entertaining and interesting.
Extreme quality video. I watch a lot of channels with this kind of content and I can say I'm impressed by the way you present information+ intro, transitions quality and content on point with what is really op and trends. Loved the malphite item after R, might gonna theorycraft it into other characters 😊. And yes Vladimir is broken, I tried it yesterday and healed 60%hp with a empowered Q and stacked Riftmaker, insane!!!
Whatever's good to climb currently, it's not as good as my Hwei. I've got a 90% winrate over 15 games, went from Plat 4 to Emerald 4 in a few days spamming him Mid. Sorc boots, Seraph into Shadowflame into Zhonya (Though, if you need more damage and don't have to worry about getting jumped, a Stormsurge/Cryptbloom can be done instead) has been carrying hard. EDIT : Although that Ekko build seems very bullshit, I remember fighting one and it had to be one of the lanes I had a hard time winning. (Did win in the end, EQ just fucks Ekko if you time it right.)
nah the guy is just majorly coping Kassadin cant lose that matchup he majorly misplayed. He started E and took cookies in runes just rly tells you everything.
Hey man, I was curious how you get your graphics to look as they do, specifically the fog of war and shadows? Is it being rendered afterwards or are you able to play like that?
What about the AP bruisers like Morde, Singed and even Gwen? Morde and signed finally got their liandrys back, rylais is still cheap, Riftmaker now is busted if you can get the passive going AND morde can now build Protobelt for only 2500g? They gave Mr.BrazilMan a dash for only 2500 (albeit you are wasting an item slot)
Firstly really nice video as usual :D, and i don't really have an idea for a build but i would love to know if you had some idea or seen crazy things with Ezreal. Considering his insane buff this patch (14.2) and Hubris still unchanged
This video is so much better than the regurgitated 'Build this for free wins in patch ###' videos that come out the day of the patch and seems a lot more fact based with some direction given instead of just 'do this every game and win'.
Great Video, but one question: you said that voidgrubs are so important, but are they? it feels like saving one ore two autos on a turret isnt that strong or if u are a splitpusher u dont need the dmg anyway, for me they are the biggest questionmark of the season: are they strong or bait?
with multiple voids you can push in turrets really fast, the win con for me high elo games is ace at baron or dragon and push hard, with grubs stacks you can do this so fast that you can win the game and snowball very far ahead with just a few teamfights. Grubs=tempo and money!
Seraphs or ludens Shadowflame and cosmic are good 2nd items but my personal favorite is horizon focus Cryptbloom is always better than void, haste is too important His late game still sucks and doesn't have enough damage or mobility to carry fights. Too hard to position. With that being said you want to buy defensive items last and let your team carry you if the game goes late. I don't like dcap for this reason. Surprisingly, utility items aren't bad. Mandate and shurelya are viable
Funny how they're calling it the AD Mejai's... *Rocks back and forth, pipe in hand* Aye... I remember the last game I played while Sword of the Occult was still in-game... That enemy Fiora showed us no mercy. An item that must never be brought back.
Welcome to League of Legends, where Riot STILL has no idea how to balance their game, instead focusing on making insanely overpowered or overloaded Champions.
I personaly think varus got a huge buff with the item changes, as he can build close to anything (not encanter ofc) and the fact that he can go 1 dmg item (botrk) and full tank after then is just dumb.
Had a run into AP Jax as Pantheon.. there is no counter play early game that I know besides microing better. His E damage just melts and stuns me for too long. Anyone know how to counter it or do I just lose lane early even if I got a first blood.. I just lose every trade after level 2. I've been trying some on-hit Pantheon around his W as well instead of your typical Lethality or Bruiser items and it melts squishies it's funny. Especially when toplane has been a shitshow where you can see any champion regardless of class from Quickplay.
Other strong things I could have mentioned but left out to keep the video from going over 20 minutes:
Vladimir is right up there with Rengar in the perma ban tier, his items are ridiculously good. Cosmic drive / Liandries / Riftmaker are all so good on him
AD Twisted Fate after recent buffs has become a monster, just needed more time to assess how good it really is but I am pretty sure it's completely OP
Kalista in high elo / pro play is menace with BORK now proc'ing on the first auto and with items like rageblade and terminus being strong - however this doesn't apply to like 99% of players
Katarina and Akali even after several nerfs to stormsurge are still really OP
Karma just got buffed and every one is spamming her with Malignance for very low mantra cooldown. She is clearly strong but I think it's a bit overrated actually.

@@143tgit is annoying that the top 4 results will cover it and say theres more information behind a paywall so its not even complete
@@143tg its more just the constant commercial advertisement at every opportunity that interrupts me watching. Also the builds arent always great and they tend to show/say the wrong things a lot cause its hasnt been revised before being pumped out to people, which can be pretty confusing imo

Love this type of content. It's so refreshing to see analysis that isn't in tier list form.
I definitely will not be adding tiers - it's overdone and makes people think they can only play "S tier"
I will just be discussing what is good and strong based on my experience

As someone who rarely watches your videos.. I want more of this. I think this video idea is 11/10
Thank you :)
These series better be kept up for every patch I swear haha, love the vids.
Just to add, the new tank item and frozen heart works wonders for bard as well. The Bard OTP is R1 on EUW currently with it, and I've won 8/9 games so far :D

Legit, just get 2 Good bases and you won lane. Kassa is all about optimization. If you don't know how to optimize, you will just lose.
timestamps and this video would be one of the best free guides on yt
Love the vid, one suggestion though, chapters for each champ/build would be super helpful

Man didn't talk at all about Titanic Hydra Double Headshot Caitlyn and Jhin smh my head
Season 14 could've been so good and so fun, but they just really dropped the ball with the insane amount of damage. Classic riot I guess
Udyr main here, and I'm here to tell you, you've not seen a tank Udyr yet this season.
As R max archetype, run unending despair & fimbulwinter with ingenious hunter of course.
Add jak'sho to add insane value to your unending despair & fimbulwinter & W heal and shield & awakened W heal and shield.
Enemies need an absurd combined DPS to take you down because if they can't go over the threshhold where unending despair and awakened W heal you thousands of HP back up, you'll just never die with this build.
Sure frozen heart and kaernic rookern make you a tough bastard, but they don't last you in teamfights that last 4 minutes long.
I was playing hailing blades ekko years now, it was always op

I love this a lot. Really looking forward to the next videos. I love playing new stuff so can't wait.
Ingenious on blitz has felt really good, with his low cd ult, Zeke's Convergence becomes crazy good and also low cd supp item + locket
Kellen this is an incredible series idea thank you 🙏
wait, k'sante could die before?
That tengas build looks like a good idea the statues stacking with his passive.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't Luden's Companion receive no benefit from Ingenious Hunter as it's stacks are not generated on cooldown rather a count up?
I believe this is correct yeah? However it does reduce CD of lich bane and cryptbloom.
Ludens is just your best mana item for ahri, it's also getting buffed next patch.
Generally though yes Ludens is pretty underwhelming
@@Exil22 I personally prefer Malignance over Luden's for the additional 20 haste on ult plus the DoT AoE with Resistance reduction, though I understand the Luden's means you're not obligated to all-in for the full item value.
Damn how chill and informative you are. Thank you. You've got a new subscriber.
Amazing video concept. A UA-cam i actually enjoy watching telling us about new builds! (Also riot please make crit items good again I would like to not see only lethality and mage bot laners for 10,000 years)
I honestly think that hubris feels so niche because someone like a talon does his job reguardless of the extra 40 ad hubris might or might not give which isnt enough fot him to kill tanks anyway. So items that actually help him are more utility based like ghostblade and oppurtunity or EoN
Good video! You covered most of the most important builds. Could've talked about on-hit ADCs being very strong partially due to new item Terminus. Especially Varus and Kalista
I was literally just theory crafting on notpad 2 days ago about Corki and Malignance.
I liked this, subbed. Keep up the good work
Dude I have very cool idea for arena mode, that involve some restémoste rice that you have made, do you wanna hear it?
What about ekko jungle? Would you run hail of blades too there ?
great video as always !
can you bring more ADC builds and enchanter builds please? talk about void grubs for example?
Can always expect good stuff from this channel. Although I’m not the most competitive player, I still found this video very entertaining and interesting.
Extreme quality video. I watch a lot of channels with this kind of content and I can say I'm impressed by the way you present information+ intro, transitions quality and content on point with what is really op and trends. Loved the malphite item after R, might gonna theorycraft it into other characters 😊. And yes Vladimir is broken, I tried it yesterday and healed 60%hp with a empowered Q and stacked Riftmaker, insane!!!
Whatever's good to climb currently, it's not as good as my Hwei.
I've got a 90% winrate over 15 games, went from Plat 4 to Emerald 4 in a few days spamming him Mid.
Sorc boots, Seraph into Shadowflame into Zhonya (Though, if you need more damage and don't have to worry about getting jumped, a Stormsurge/Cryptbloom can be done instead) has been carrying hard.
EDIT : Although that Ekko build seems very bullshit, I remember fighting one and it had to be one of the lanes I had a hard time winning. (Did win in the end, EQ just fucks Ekko if you time it right.)
nah the guy is just majorly coping Kassadin cant lose that matchup he majorly misplayed. He started E and took cookies in runes just rly tells you everything.
we need more league meta videos like this
Hey man, I was curious how you get your graphics to look as they do, specifically the fog of war and shadows? Is it being rendered afterwards or are you able to play like that?
Ive been playing skyrim recently so it didnt even hit me that the background music was skyrim music until 4 minutes in
:) 😂
I love this, can't wait for next patch's video
:)
@@Exil22 what happened?
love the format keel doing it
Yes! Cant wait for this series! Great idea
Glad to hear it!
great video idea, possibly goated music
great video but it just needs time indicators for the champions/roles you talk about, so it can be used as small guides
Lich Bane Shadowflame Katarina is dominating China right now I believe.
Great video, i suggest breaking it into sections though
you forgot tankkoz, but nice video !
What about the AP bruisers like Morde, Singed and even Gwen? Morde and signed finally got their liandrys back, rylais is still cheap, Riftmaker now is busted if you can get the passive going AND morde can now build Protobelt for only 2500g? They gave Mr.BrazilMan a dash for only 2500 (albeit you are wasting an item slot)
Firstly really nice video as usual :D, and i don't really have an idea for a build but i would love to know if you had some idea or seen crazy things with Ezreal. Considering his insane buff this patch (14.2) and Hubris still unchanged
This video is so much better than the regurgitated 'Build this for free wins in patch ###' videos that come out the day of the patch and seems a lot more fact based with some direction given instead of just 'do this every game and win'.
would hebris work on senna?
Great Video, but one question: you said that voidgrubs are so important, but are they? it feels like saving one ore two autos on a turret isnt that strong or if u are a splitpusher u dont need the dmg anyway, for me they are the biggest questionmark of the season: are they strong or bait?
Very strong. Not bait at all
with multiple voids you can push in turrets really fast, the win con for me high elo games is ace at baron or dragon and push hard, with grubs stacks you can do this so fast that you can win the game and snowball very far ahead with just a few teamfights. Grubs=tempo and money!
so i guess key is to get 5 or 6 right? for the extra spawn of these little thingies@@BloodDrenched-y6i
This was pretty neat, I don't play LOL at all but still neat. Cool to see your doing more videos hahahaha
:) thanks for the kind words
Any suggestions for hwei? I see so many variants, from burst to stuff like cosmic,seraphs builds
Seraphs or ludens
Shadowflame and cosmic are good 2nd items but my personal favorite is horizon focus
Cryptbloom is always better than void, haste is too important
His late game still sucks and doesn't have enough damage or mobility to carry fights. Too hard to position. With that being said you want to buy defensive items last and let your team carry you if the game goes late.
I don't like dcap for this reason.
Surprisingly, utility items aren't bad. Mandate and shurelya are viable
Wow, surprising. Thanks for the quick and insightful response 🥹
A suggestion is to go over the nerfed builds of the previous patch that you covered last episode
Ekko has been an elo generator since he came out. Champ is busted everysingle way
Funny how they're calling it the AD Mejai's... *Rocks back and forth, pipe in hand* Aye... I remember the last game I played while Sword of the Occult was still in-game... That enemy Fiora showed us no mercy. An item that must never be brought back.
love the video, but some graphics showing rune pages, and a few small 'pop up' item builds/core item graphics would go a long way
Trailblazer Bard is interesting, since it seems the #1 Bard in the world (Lathyrus) does NOT recommend it at all.
What about ap toplaners like rumble gwen or kennen? I think they‘re amazing
2:50 Caitlyn from Arcane be temping me 😳
Wow my account made a cameo @3:50
Welcome to League of Legends, where Riot STILL has no idea how to balance their game, instead focusing on making insanely overpowered or overloaded Champions.
Its an impossible job
i mean i bet lost chapter into lich bane ahri would be fine, lost chapters a pretty good first recall
its honestly pretty rough playing on hit adc's atm :(
13:30 Poor Azzapp did not have a lane...
Refreshing content my friend
Do you have a custom map? Why does your map and fog looks so weird?
its just effects added during editing
I personaly think varus got a huge buff with the item changes, as he can build close to anything (not encanter ofc) and the fact that he can go 1 dmg item (botrk) and full tank after then is just dumb.
8:16 i think riven is so broken right now
Had a run into AP Jax as Pantheon.. there is no counter play early game that I know besides microing better. His E damage just melts and stuns me for too long. Anyone know how to counter it or do I just lose lane early even if I got a first blood.. I just lose every trade after level 2.
I've been trying some on-hit Pantheon around his W as well instead of your typical Lethality or Bruiser items and it melts squishies it's funny. Especially when toplane has been a shitshow where you can see any champion regardless of class from Quickplay.
Btw convergence can proc fiora marks, including the ult
Wait, really?
already fixed
The corki malignance build is so powerful also because of eclipse 3 item because corki R + malignance proc also procs eclipse
Great Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Well i guess we dont get a video like this every patch 🤣🤣🤣
excellent work
RuneScape has some of the best in game tracks I’ve ever heard.
Great idea👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
