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.
He rushes soulstealer, really? That's the build I use as well minus the snowball.

he doesnt
he only gets soulstealer sometimes, he probably sizes up the other team and decides if he can get easy kills or not or whatever.
I don't understand why people think Singed is such a good Tank. He's got no initiate exceot for fling and you have to get super close for it to do anything.

i dunno if he's good 'really', he's just holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shit ridiculous vs people who make mistakes frequently (ie everyone I play vs and probably at least a few people per game even in high elo)
then when he gets a few kills off them he goes into godmode incredibly fast, singed probably does better consistently off a little bit of feed than anybody outside of like olaf...
Unless you mean tank as in hard tank, run in, initiate, take all the damage off your carry, control their team, survive. Because he can't do that at all. He's bad at it. But he's a fantastic off-tank.
Kinda random but I was browsing around on the humble indie pack page ( http://www.humblebundle.com/ ) and apparently riot games paid $1,500 for the pack. Pretty nice gesture from riot games towards the charities and the indie devs.
drizzler should check out my profile, all shaco games pro build . wriggles -> heart of gold -> yoomu -> hexdrinker -> randuin -> brutalizer -> guardian angel
Singed is a good tank in the sense that his damage doesn't come from items (poison), he has a slow, a fling, super movement speed and regen. You can build tanky and do all these things. The same types of things are true for garen, amumu (though nerf make them blow now), rammus, udyr, shen, mord, etc. everything that is played as a tank.
I think rammus has the highest damage of them all, plus the highest mitigation, plus a taunt. Rammus is fucking insane.

Pro tip for getting out of ELO Hell - Either you or your pro duo queue partner play a jungler. Nobody in the lower ELOs, even in the 1500s where I am now, knows how to jungle for shit. I'd say I win about 90% of my games where my duo queue takes the jungle, and about 60% where we don't. One player can take a solo, and then the jungle just makes sure other lanes don't feed and actually understands something about dragon control, like when he'll respawn--which I have never had a random jungler know. Ever.

Can't really compare the 2 tho, both are top tier characters but their playstyles are the opposite of eachother.
Btw I am starting to feel the guilty pleasure of going wriggles on udyr if I get fed pre-lv 5. Dragon becomes ridiculously fast to kill, 15 min baron is safer and you heal when jungling without needing to dance into turtle. I still follow it with randuins and the usual udyr stuff but wriggles is almost a must have for junglers right now.
