Out of curiosity - why Dodge Seals for casters? I was thinking of going MP5/lv Seals and Cooldown Glyphs. Is the Dodge really that much more useful than Cooldown, especially when you probably aren't going to hit the CD cap?

I use MP5/lvl. I think most people defaulted to Dodge because it's the strongest survival rune in the game (against physical DPS), but nyeh.

I use Mp5/lvl for both Seals and Glyphs for pretty much every hero that uses mana, nowadays.

Edit:
The biggest downside of forgoing Dodge runes is that you don't get the free blocks on Gold Card...

Any one know if Riot is thinking of adding a way to save masteries per hero? It's annoying changing masteries every time I play a different hero.

Dodge is unmitigatable. 10% dodge is a 10% damage reduction, and nothing can get around it (other than one item, but if you force them to waste 2000g on an item to get past your dodge, I'd say you're doing pretty well).

It is my opinion that dodge is a broken mechanic in the game, because you can't balance around it (unless you add in something like hit, which would be stupid).

Considering at least 50% (I'd actually say like 70%) of damage in this game is spell-based, I don't think Dodge is that great, but oh well. >_>

Edit:
It's great for making TFs rage, though.

The question isn't "does the item help Fiddle", it's "is it cost effective and are there better options for doing what it does?"

Unrelated random question: against who are Banshee's Veils particularly effective?

No, Cho actually gets hulk-smashed by the majority of competent mid players, including heroes. As has been numerously mentioned in this thread, TF after his rework a month or two ago is a dreadful, dreadful solo mid. So dreadful, in fact, that he even loses to the nerfed Sivir, who is on my list of top most worst heroes to go mid.

Cho should never beat Trist or Ashe, both of whom outrange him too much. Not to mention the Ezreals and Kats and Nidalees of the world.

He's hard because it's hard to balance being a threat and actually doing "his job," which is to tank. You can't tank if they don't attack you because you're not worth attacking. And you also can't tank if you die in 2 seconds.

It's why I mention he's a "whatever" hero, in that he's neither ranged DPS, a ranged nuker, nor a tank. He's essentially an off-tank nuker support, which is okay but in comparison to other top-tier "support" heroes he's got a lot less utility.

Edit:
It's also why I keep saying the biggest pro of Cho is his massive AoE silence that can swing a teamfight if you nail a whole team in it.

That's not to say he "sucks" per se. Just yesterday I had a Cho (granted, I laned with him with Janna against a stupid solo Sion who got his face bashed in) semi-carry us to a win. It happens.

Edit2:
I guess my big pet-peeve is how people argue a certain hero is viable mid because they smash TF. Newsflash, guys. For at least the past month or two, TF has been one of the single worst laning heroes in the game. Congratulations you defeated a terribly weak hero in laning phase!
