taking mid between jungle minion spawns makes you level faster, this has nothing to do with olaf.

Good point, didn't read the 1v1 part. Also, Olaf can kill any carry 1v1 if they let him get close. NO FEAR! mwahahaha. Maybe I was wrong for discounting olaf's jungle after the patch.

Why Trinity Force over Lichbane? I've seen a few Akali players do this now and I'm trying to understand the appeal.


How much AP does it take to make lichbane cost efficient?


The math is kinda dicey, but I believe Lichbane is always the better choice for Akali (even though Triforce best item) In the screenshot, Akali has 190 AD and 404 AP. With Triforce, the proc deals 190*1.5=285 bonus damage. With Lichbane, he'd be doing 404 - 30? (from triforce) + 80 (from lichbane) = 454 bonus damage, but then you're not getting the +30? Triforce AD. Triforce also gives HP, more ms, and crit chance, but doesn't give as much AP, which would boosting Akali's skill damage. Zhonyas makes Lichbane's AP go even further.

In short, Westrice goes

dblade/sorc boots/ss/rylais/lichbane/zhonyas

so I do to.

Isn't Triforce only 150% off your base damage? Basically around 140-165 for everyone at level 18, with slight variations for each champ.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Alistar is probably one of highest base damage champs, 120 at lvl 18. Trinity force for damage is terrible. Its additional source of damage, which is diminished by enemy armor. If you dont have any penetration vs 100 armor champion Alistar with triforce proc will deal 90 extra damage.

Correct. Both Sheen and Triforce work off of base AD so the difference between Lich Bane and Triforce in this particular case is ~300 damage per proc.

Well shen and rammus are the best tanks atm, so both are viable bans still. Ban 1, grab the other, and you've got a good tank that they can't have. Lots of people have been banning eve and pantheon b/c they stomp pubs who are really bad.... -_- Actually Kass is kind of a pub stomp character too. "omg he's so low health!!!" *runs at him and he tele's away, now you're in the middle of the opponents team*

And with locket removed, Sona got a huge indirect nerf. I'd say Janna's a pretty good ban for a support. She's better than soraka imo and Sona kind of got shit on because of all the nerfs. I've seen a revival of Taric too atm actually.

Malz has also been the FotM and Malph and Gragas kind of are too atm. :/

Kassa is really annoying to lane against, specially as any caster or someone with a nuke/stun, not just his blink.

Rammus fast red gank is retardedly (spelling?) good and infuriating.

Is it me, or does the quality of your team's tanks (particularly as the game drags on) determine the outcome of a game more often than not? Yeah, a good runaway jungler/carry that is fed can control a game and end it by the 25-minute mark. But, everything else being equal, it seems like the tanks and their ability to disrupt the enemy team make more of a difference in teamfights than anything else.

They mean a lot. If your tank is too pussy to initiate correctly then your dps can't do much of anything. Tanks that don't know/can't initiate well make them weak tanks, or simply bad players, depending on the situation. >.>
Like I hate when I see tanks just jack off when we can EASILY ace the other team and push to win if he was man enough to just tank the hits for us. Sadly most people think of KDA ratio far too much. Omg, he died!!!

Sivir is the only real mandatory ban right now. Eve gets a ban from me because I hate playing against her and I think most people agree. After that it's pretty much whoever I feel like between Janna/Pantheon/Corki/sometimes Rammus.
