I doubt the thresholds are low enough that you could just do THE BUILD and meet all of the criteria, but you can probably fullfill the ap and aspd parts with guinsoos, nashor's tooth and void staff.

My hope is that the threshholds are balanced in such a way that only one of the Second Skin bonuses apply with any given build (unless you sacrifice your 5th slot specifically for a damage/ASPD item over Hexdrinker/Mercurial/GA/whatever). Thus, there's a benefit to going an ASPD build (Guinsoo's + Wit's or BotRK + Hurricane), a benefit to going an AD build (Reaver + Statikk + IE), and a benefit to going an AP build (Luden's + Liandry's or something).

For those asking me to post a replay for feedback: https://my.mixtape.moe/bmadsx.rofl This was a game where we had a decent early lead and then teamfights went to crap later on. I suspect part of it was me not doing the right things in those teamfights to deal with tristana, or peel or what have you. I found it difficult to deal with their front line and also deal with their high damage threats. Anyway - feel free to tear it apart. Thanks again!

With Wit's end in the patch notes getting 100g cheaper with +2 damage and going from 5 MR steal to 6 melee/3 ranged it made me think. Who actually builds wit's end besides ranged champs? I can only think of Kog/Kayle/Teemo/Varus and it's sometimes situational for them.

You're better off building straight crit on Varus in soloQ unless you're up against at least 2 tanks. Only other advantage of rageblade build is you spike at first item. At most other points you'll be worse off with rageblade.

Rageblade is an insane 1-item spike that helps massively in taking towers and makes his damage harder to itemise against. You can build that and a hurricane and be solid for damage most of the time so freer to build a Wit's End for fight durability and BotRK for more magic damage and lifesteal.
|
# ? Feb 21, 2018 17:41 |

I'd say "spiking at one item" in a meta with some of the shortest average game times ever is actually a pretty significant argument for always going Rageblade on him. Like, yeah, there's the possibility of the game dragging on to 40 minutes and crit Varus eventually outscaling Rageblade Varus, but wouldn't you rather just itemize to end the game before then?
|
# ? Feb 21, 2018 17:45 |
you will do more sustained damage in teamfights, be more survivable, have a cheaper overall build, a faster powerspike literally on-hit is superior in every way unless you're against 5 tristanas or something

Historically some tanks that have heavy auto interaction like Shen have, and it's the sort of item Yi might build if it's good. Shyvana and Jax also might work with it, except that no one builds AS on Jax anymore. Cho'Gath used to sometimes as a niche strategy, especially on TT, when E was a toggle. The problem is not a lot of characters want attack speed and not crit. Azir might build it but it'd need to be very overtuned.

I'm genuinely hoping and praying for another Weedwick situation with the Voli buffs where he ends up being completely out of control with new Wit's and hard smashes games for like a week before they hotfix him.

Monicro posted:I finally got around to playing new swain for a handful of games and i think he might legit be my new favorite champion Agreed. I liked him before rework, and was skeptical of the new version because he seemed a bit on the weaker side. Then I tried him out and thoroughly enjoyed. He's basically Tywin Lannister, and that owns. Anyway: how do you rune him? I've tried a few different setups. Electrocute + lifesteal + sorcery secondary (gathering storm and celerity) seems like a decent way to go about it. Lets you build some tanky AP items and still be a potent mage later in the game. Haven't tried aery or comet based builds. Done an unsealed spellbook build too.

Everyone built wits end 9 years ago when every top laner was mixed damage with no scaling and the item was 2k gold.

I will say with my on-hit build I did just end up in a 46 minute game where my damage was chipping at the tanks at best by the end but I was still relevant against the Xayah who had more gold than me because my build was cheaper so I ended up an item ahead without even trying.

I found it difficult to deal with their front line and also deal with their high damage threats. Anyway - feel free to tear it apart. Thanks again! Like the replay I did for the other dude, this will mostly be stream of consciousness:
My takeaway from this replay is that you're either not consciously thinking about what your next move will be, or you're simply unsure of how to play the macro game. You weirdly undervalued certain objectives (first turret) and overvalued other ones (a third Cloud Drake), you sat mid ARAMing with your team or following up on their nonsense dives, you angled for low value kills, and you didn't try to lasso your team towards the right plays during that game. The good news is that your early game was, aside from the forced return gank on Brand, completely solid: you pathed well, you responded to Xin's ganks appropriately, and you got off three extremely high-value ganks of your own. All you realistically need to do is start appreciating the importance of certain objectives like first turret and Baron and taking a more active role in pushing your team towards them and you can easily hit Gold. Only other thing to note is that your third item needed to be something different. Spirit Visage does next to nothing for Sej. You either want Knight's Vow (if your ADC is getting dove a lot) or Locket. Into Brand and a behind-the-curve Xin, I definitely would've picked up Locket, even if Leona already has one.

Probably the best patch of the season so far. Hit nearly everyone I thought should be hit, carved away some of the most troublesome rune combinations, gave some buffs to underperforming champs, and made changes to help ensure games close out in due time.

He's basically Tywin Lannister, and that owns. I've been running him Comet, Hat, Transcendence, Storm; Stopwatch, Insight because I'm endlessly amused by how abuseable some peoples ults are with Hat. Swain isn't really one of them, but as a standard thing it works fine and Comet gives Visions a better chance at actually securing that snipe on someone going back at a tower. I played against someone running Grasp that was monumentally annoying during laning but they ended up losing and not being overly effective later on, but it keeps nagging at my mind as something that might work if played better.
