IMO your team's main AP caster is usually going to be a better candidate to take blue. And yeah, locket prevents you from going OOM, but that also means you either have to get some kills/assists early, or drop going full-babysitter and steal farm from your lanemate, if you want to finish it in reasonable time.

sona is definitely the best candidate on any team for blue, unless your team has kassadin. kass is the *ONLY* person i'd give blue to before sona

But on a general note, if you have more than 1 of those must-have-blue casters just give it to the one who won't feed it to the other team. Which is usually kass because of his good early game and escape capability.

I find "won't feed it to the other team" is generally more a function of the player, more than which champ they're on.

Maybe that's cuz I'm a baddie playing with other baddies.

No I totally agree on that, I just mentioned kass because as a character he usually gets to the midgame in really good shape with 4+ stacks on soulstealer and is also less likely to die even in the hands of a bad player.

And really, it's extremely easy to not be bad at kass. Being good is another story but as long as you use your ult to run away and dont let it stack too much you're fine taking any buffs.

Doran's Ring viable for stacking on certain casters? They offer 3/4 of the AP or an ability tome along with 100 hp and 4 mana regen per 5. Of course the drawback is you can't build towards a high cost AP item that usually provides utility (Rylai's) or invulnerability (Zhonya's), but would be great for dominating early game?

IMO Cata is probably the biggest argument against ring-stacking, but it seems good if you don't plan on getting Cata.

Ring stacking>Zring has always been the way to go on Heimerdinger.

Now that they give less mp5 and more AP I think they're even better.

I disagree quite strongly. The health and MP5 are the primary reason Heimer needs them IMOIMOIMO

Yeah, I think the reason you Dring stack on Heimer is so you get efficient regen on Heimer without needing to have Tear or Cata delaying your ZRing significantly.

Well I don't own heimer so I haven't played much of him. I like stacking rings on Zilean/Janna while I mass buy wards since nobody on my team ever seems to know what they are. Boots and 2-3 drings make for a very solid opening, especially if you're letting your lanemate take all the farm.

AP casters =/= sidelane support

Janna does it because you don't need any farm, and when you only expect to actually play with 2-3k gold a game, with any extra going to wards, DRings + Mercs are pretty much going to be the best way to spend it.

As I said earlier, I dislike sidelane support Zilean, because if you go in saying you're not going to farm, you're basically going into the game saying "I'm going to let one-and-a-half of my abilities become useless" because you're not going to get significant AP/MPen towards bombs, hence losing their utility and half of Rewind's utility (if bombs are useless, then refreshing their CD is also useless). It's not like Janna or Taric where the non-damage component of your spells contains their real utility--Time Bomb is only about the damage, so you need to give it some scaling for it to stay relevant.
