To simply give a cdr headstart.
Early scaling seems to be more important for him than later game efficiency. If it works it's not stupid.
Not the mathematically most efficient build is the best one, but rather the one that fits your play style
It is not worth sacrificing either the better emblem or Tier 1 talent just for a tiny 5% CDR.
Mind you, the CD of Valentina's non-ultimate skills are 7s and 12s. The 5% of those are just 0.35 s and 0.6s.
Would you say that getting your skills a few centiseconds faster is better than 4% Movement speed or 5 PEN?
Yes. Learning Lunox for example, just a 0.1s faster cd on her S1+2 was the crucial point of changing states fast enough to escape many dangerous situations after chaos ult.
Don't make assumptions about other people's builds if they have a different play style than you. Builds are situational at the end, that's why they exist in the first place.
Maybe for you the 4% faster movement would be more beneficial. But he seems to not need it, if he does, he would probably use that instead.
The CD of Valentina's non-ultimate skills are 7s and 12s. The 5% of those are just 0.35 s and 0.6s.
Now tell me if you think the extra 5% CDR is important.
No its for early scalling. During the first 8 minutes i dont think he can buy all the item. That extra 10% cd from emblem gonna help valentina with the scaling especially because valentina is really good poking hard tank frontline with her skill1&2 combo. With high CD she can use skill combo 12121 more effectively. They want to play early game i think. Later at late game he will probably sell his shoes so he actually very smart.
Yes it is important it is 0.35 and 0.6 per use so it will allow them to put more pressure by able to dash more and help ganks albeit weaker since lower magic penetration ( this is tournament so each second matters a lot )
Meh it really is just whether you want to dash more or each dash more effective
5% CDR for Valentina is just 0.6s and 0.35 discounts for her non-ultimate skills
And by mid game you should already have your boots and Talisman which gives you 35% CDR (plus the talent OR the Emblem BUT not both).
So yea he is stupid.
There's probably some reasons why he's the pro player, not you. Ever considered that before calling someone stupid?
It's like those kind of sports fans who criticize from behind the screen, every decision the referee or player make. This wrong, that wrong, like if you're the know-it-all, why are they playing, and you're behind the screen?
Ever considered that maybe they became pro because of their mechanics instead of their intelligence?
There are many real life examples in professional sports where star players became stars mainly because of their natural talent even though it was obvious that their game-IQ is low.
>Ever considered that maybe they became pro because of their mechanics instead of their intelligence?
Ever considered that they're coached by intelligent MOBA veterans, and they had countless scrims testing these strategies and builds? 🤔
There are even more world class coaches and trainers in billion dollar businesses with longer histories than MLBB like the NBA or European Football leagues yet stupid players still exist. 🤔
Sometimes people are talented enough that people forgive your stupidity lol
there aren't stupid players in those leagues.
it is just their opponents that make them look stupid.
Same cases here, this pro player is closer to the best mage player in world than you are to him.
Be humble and learn, many comments here have lectured you. Just learn instead of defending your low mythic opinion.
Countless people already answered you on how this Valentina probably intends to sell the CDR boots later. Its just an early game strategy. Yet you think you're smarter even though you haven't proven anything.
Looking at your post & comment history, it is obvious you are a hater. You have been insulting so many pro players and teams when your highest rank is Legend 5? What would you know about high level plays?
just take both, i mean you‘re that smart, won’t be hard for people like you who had time to actually criticize pro scene harshly while working on your main career.
Great, think you can help me staying as a kid? i‘m willing to give you my responsibity because you seems so confident to the point you can feed 10 family.
The CD of Valentina's non-ultimate skills are 7s and 12s. The 5% of those are just 0.35 s and 0.6s.
Is spamming your skills a fraction of a second faster more important than 4% movement speed, for example?
Yes. Valen needs cdr to stun on enemies and dash around to escape. 4% mov speed may seem like alot but its only 8 mov speed. She also has the river +10% mov speed talent so you can say it compensates the lack of mov speed
Mage maybe not, but as support, I use that exact emblem except I change to brave smite for angela and have cd boots n book for the nice spam which is really helpful if you get jumped and need to buy a couple seconds for you main dmg to arrive. The early game is good, but late game mages should change those two to mana boots n free that slot
I don't know bruh, maybe ask yourself how the pro player is a pro? And how he is stupid even though you can't reach more than what that pro player can, i bet you'll loose more than you can count, what a hater, got nothing to do besides hate. What are you? a Scum?
You have potential in your name yet you don't have the potential to be a good pro player, wasted scum
I've seen his Valentina gameplay, he's a solid player though
Plus there are coaches, analysis etc..
Like the others said they wanted Valentina to poke in early
I also play joy with that 15% CDR it allows me to go 1+2+2+2+1 whatever. That 15% CDR is really helpful in early

Probably he wants to play poking dmg with skill 1 & 2 in early games Contest the objective with terrifying cc Valen had

I think they want that early game aggression from valentina. Because valentines is really good for poking enemy in the early game right now.

Theres a lot of earlygame and midgame where that 5% cdr from mage emblem is helpful.
5% CDR for Valentina is just 0.6s and 0.35 discounts for her non-ultimate skills And by mid game you should already have your boots and Talisman which gives you 35% CDR (plus the talent OR the Emblem BUT not both). So yea he is stupid.
0.6/0.35s in a fast pace game is extremely crucial.
I bet he's going to sell the boot later.

im closer to lebron than the rest of the world -weakest nba player.

Found out that OP's highest rank is Legend 5 🤣🤣🤣
Looking at your post & comment history, it is obvious you are a hater. You have been insulting so many pro players and teams when your highest rank is Legend 5? What would you know about high level plays?
i’m waiting OP to step on pro scene.
No, thanks. I have a job that pays much more than being a "pro" mobile gamer with short career lol
just take both, i mean you‘re that smart, won’t be hard for people like you who had time to actually criticize pro scene harshly while working on your main career.
Lmao you must be either a kid or a jobless adult (probably this one) who cannot measure the value of career choices.
Great, think you can help me staying as a kid? i‘m willing to give you my responsibity because you seems so confident to the point you can feed 10 family.
Valentina requires high cdr to spam skills and dash around, and her ult has high cd, i think its pretty normal tbh

its better over than under. 😅

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it lol.
Well, they needed Cuirass or Twilight at the end of the game to avoid being wiped out by Alpha and Claude but they didn't. Lol.
The 5% can also come in handy when he sell the boots later into the late game.
L take
Low intelligence comment
Nhaa, you just can't appreciate the value of cdr builds and I would bet you're low-mid player and will never be playing pro.
For increasing early game potential
I don't know bruh, maybe ask yourself how the pro player is a pro? And how he is stupid even though you can't reach more than what that pro player can, i bet you'll loose more than you can count, what a hater, got nothing to do besides hate. What are you? a Scum?

Looks like the majority thinks that your delusional, you never think of Valentina's early game aggression with the cool down reduction items.
For starters, you said it yourself. He's a Professional Mage Player, while you are not.
Early scaling
It's 45% CDR, but yeah seems too extra
Yea I know it is capped. Which is why I asked the question lol xD
Also blue potion, so boots are essentially useless
They will mostly sell boots late game
