EPTIf you take sorc's boots and have ~11-20 magic pen from runes, you practically cancel out any inherent magic resist that champs have. Since you should be targetting squishies, all that's usually left is the merc treads that a lot of carries take. That 40% penetration from void staff comes in after the runes/boots penetration so at best it might be 10 pen that you're getting with it. I guess there's the chance of banshee's and aegis in addition to the merc treads but in most situations, I find just going for Zhonya's is better.

I don't even know what I did other than mass buttons when they came off CD. By very carefully controlling your cooldowns to chain stun people. Pay special attention to the passive on W because using it well is the key to stunning people twice in a row without even using your ult. During laning, hit someone with a shuriken, let your energy go back to full, hit them with passive proc from W, and then hit them one more time with an autoattack. Just as they're about to get out of range, press W to stun them, then rush over there with E right on top of them. Autoattack some more to get another passive W proc, then stun them with a shuriken. If you have exhaust and your ult, you can actually chain a third stun. Of course all of this takes way too long and impossible to set up in a teamfight. In a teamfight, abuse brushes so that you can avoid being focused too much. Try to stagger your stuns a bit, since it's really not good if their entire team is stunned at the same time, but you're mostly going to be doing E,W,R. Since R hits randomly, your stuns will end up staggered. | ||

Well they nerfed Sheen a while ago to deal 80% extra base damage on your next attack. It used to be 100%. It also procs on some moves that count as modifying basic attacks, such as TF's pick a card, and Poppy's/Ezreal's Q. Hope this helped, not sure what you mean by 120% and Kennen's Q, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding completely. | ||

I have a question for South-Light referring to his opening with Ashe. I was wondering what I do in an Ashe on Ashe with this setup as whenever i play ashe on ashe the other Ashe invests in mana so she can keep volleying me and widdle away at my health. I find this play style to be really annoying to deal with when I don't open quick mana because the other ashe farms faster than me. Now you said you go fort with 5 potions. I'm yet to try your build yet cause it seems like I'm just going to get outfarmed if I don't invest in mana. Clarification would be most appreciated and keep up the good work. :D Also my account is Athos19, so I guess I wouldn't mind being added to the player list. | ||

I was actually about to edit my post to clarify lol. Yes, when I said it procs with Ezreal/Poppy's Q, it does the damage as one hit (it procs on hit). This is why Poppy's Q can hit for upwards of 700 damage with simply a Sheen. | ||

Hope this helped, not sure what you mean by 120% and Kennen's Q, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding completely. He's talking about ezreal. Like, how exactly is sheen's damage counted. Logically, first sheen's 80% is added onto your base damage. That means your "temporary AD" is Base + 80% of Base + Whatever AD you get from other sources The 120% would probably be applied to the "temporary AD" thereafter. | ||

Ah, sorry I'm not sure of the exact formula, but you also need to take into account the enemy's armor; so if you get a bunch of armor pen, it will hit for more, maybe this is where the extra damage is coming from? Try posting on the official forums, they are usually pretty good about getting you the exact formula. | ||
