Edit: The item system works like this: Items in your inventory have their cost subtracted from the recipe that you wanted to buy. If you have a Ruby Crystal and want to purchase a Catalyst the Protector, you only need 850g instead of Catalyst's 1325 cost. Since you don't lose stats from combining, it's just a way to buy part of an item when you go to town instead of the whole thing. | ||

Several times I've bought items that i thought were different from eachother.. but it still replaced the current item i had equipped. Are magic/unique items replacing eachother? I'm just totally confused.. halp You probably bought an item that built from an item you already had. Examples: 1) You have a Doran's Shield and buy a Cloth Armor. You will end up with both items because they are not related at all. 2) You have an Amplifying Tome and by a Mejai's Soulstealer. You will now only have the Soulstealer because the Tome builds into the Soulstealer. To make up for the loss, you only have to pay the price for "upgrading" the Tome. If you want a Tome and a Soulstealer, you can just buy another Tome. In all but very few cases it doesn't matter if you buy items in one go or if you get the parts it builds from first and complete the item later. It costs exactly the same. 3) You have a Sheen, a Phage and a Zeal, and buy a Trinity Force. Now you will only have the Trinity Force as it builds from all 3 items together. If you were missing the Zeal, you would just have to pay that additional money to finish the Trinity Force. | ||

To above post: No Im pretty sure I bought one of these unique/magic items that replaced a previous magic item Was it beacuse they were both in the damage category? Edit: Ok I think I understand better now. Pretty much you cannot use an item that is used to build a higher tier item. | ||

The categories are just a way to find items more efficiently instead of having to scroll through a huge list. The items in those categories also overlap partially, for example Wit's End can be found under Attack -> Attack Speed and Defense -> Magic Resist You can just have 6 items. No matter where they are from. If your inventory is full, you can still purchase Elixiers (Consumables), and they will be activated immediately (they give a 4 minute buff to various stats). Yes you can use items that build into higher tier items. Again the Soulstealer example: You start off with an Amplifying Tome, and it gives you 20 Ability Power (AP). Later on you shop again and buy a Mejai's Soulstealer. Your Tome will be gone, but the Soulstealer will still provide the 20 AP plus other stats. There are only a few exceptions where stats are lost upon upgrading, but you always get something else for it. UNIQUE does mean that the stats after this can only be obtained once, even though you can have the same item twice. For example you can get 2 Brutalizers. You will get 2 * 25 damage, but you can only get the other stats once (10% cooldown reduction and 15 armor penetration). Unique does only apply to items with identical names. If you have 2 different items with the same unique stats, they will stack. Though there are exceptions, mainly the unique effects of Sheen/Lichbane/Trinity Force won't stack. | ||

also I tested manamune on shen to see if he'd get bonus damage based on 200 energy and the answer is no also, to myopia, that was a great find in ki strikeanf vopal blade. I thought it was irrelevant at first but upon further consideration and testing, not only will ki strike not proc healing from vorpal, but if you already have the vorpal heal buff in progress and you attack the same creep with ki strike and kill it, you'll CANCEL the heal you were proccing this isn't huge unless you're auto attacking but it is pretty annoying on jungle shen if you finish a creep with ki strike  | ||

Most people at low summoner levels are new to the game (or play like they're new) so you won't be out classed until you know what you're doing  Just remember 2 simple rules and you'll be godly: stay behind the guy who seems to know what they're doing (and this means the whole map, don't go closer to their base than the other guy) and never ever ever try to save someone from dying unless your whole team is going to save them. Other than that, you'll get the hang of it! I started with LoL as a newbie and have worked my way up to being almost average HA! | ||

Edit: For instance, SotD might be more cost effective in terms of ASPD than Pickaxe + Recurve (+25 damage +40% aspd) but with the latter you're halfway to Bloodrazor. Hmm. Edit2: or should I say just saying... | ||
