I personally think they should nerf the stats on Philo stone, not the cost. If a gold/10 item costs 1k+, then there's really no point in getting it at all 'cause the up front investment is too high. I think it'd still be well worth it if they just nerf the regen.

I think 2 is a good number, 3 is pushing it but maybe good if you get 3 earlier than 10 minutes. 4 is too many.

fknoobs making fun of my shit. I'm not actually trolling you guys, Philostone is legit straight up overpowered and I think it's crazy to not buy at least 1 on most laners.

I've actually been buying one or two philosopher's stones in every game where I'm not trying to rush Sheen, IE, or planning to rambo super hardcore. It's been working out decently, although sometimes I do regret that whenever I get barely killed due to not having 200 HP or whatever it basically kills your investment.
But why?

How can people joke about it's imbaness. Its clear as the light of day.

I get it on most of my lanes besides when I play AP carries or ranged AD carries. Will try it on them later but I think getting damage earlier and dominating your lane with them is more important.

On Tanks and Tanky dps and supports on the other hand...

well you know I've been pimping this item as the new op ever since hog nerf

I'm just saying calculating regen doesn't really work off pendant

Calculating regen off of regrowth pendant and meki is fine. Philo stone is literally the only item in the game where costing regen like that gives you numbers that at first glance seem weird (well maybe Force of Nature also), and that's because philo stone is OP.

Hm...

It is pretty efficient and all that, but I'm not sure who I'd get it on...

I mean, it does slow down my other items by 800g, and I'd probably rather just get a Catalyst on many heroes, which can then build to RoA or Banshee's, both of which are goddamn awesome...

I dunno...

even guys I get cata on, I'm still opening a single philostone now (like, singed for example). I mean, on a tank/bruiser/support with mana, I think you're crazy to not get at least 1. Casters are more debatable, but it adds a ton of sustainability to anyone in lane (much moreso than cata, for whatever that's worth).

using philo, you can now forgo all of your regen seals/glyphs and pick up the extra defensive stats (MR/armor/HP)

its a high sustainability item, allowing you to farm and harass more. The extra defensive stats from seals glyphs only amplify this. It pays for itself in g/10 in ~26m and when is your game not going that long (unless its completely one-sided and you surrender)

uh 90% of my games don't go 26 minutes past the time where I pick a philo up.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I guess my average game time is ~35 minutes, so it never feels like its setting me back

Had a game where our mid Kassa got 2 philos to sustain vs a Vlad. Worked out well vs hextech stack. He just spammed q/e on creeps and got similarly farmed. =D

I think when you get it by is still the most important factor.

Because the item simply isn't that good. It's overpowered but it wasn't good enough to compete with the oldschool of broken 'static stats' tank items. Reverie is not over 900 gold above efficiency not including the active. This method of calculation does not reflect regen item's actual in game value, it's worthless.

it's not worthless, just not nearly as good as 'math' makes it out to be.

regen as a stat is wonky as many people have said. worth alot until the fight actually starts, but then it adds almost no power to you.

Yellow runes give you 3.69 mp5. That's 221 gold worth of mana regen.
Yellow armor runes give you 12.69 armor, or 126 gold worth of armor.
However that tiny advantage goes out the window if you stay in lane long enough to get 4 more creep kills.

I always thought that at the end of the day mp5 runes were ultimately to delegate mana regen to runes so that you could rush deathcap or ie. Right?
