He can pretty much harass with Q forever in lane, and since the CD is so short he stacks the mana so fast. Plus he kinda needs a large mana pool. | ||

As for Ezreal, he needs to become as big as soon as possible in lane. That means doran's blade, early red buff, whatever is necessary for him to push people away from creeps because he needs that to do his complete-shutdown gimmick (poking down people who would lose if they faught him, but who will get Q'd to death if they try to stay too far away anyways). Things go out of hand for ezreal really fast when both sides get higher up in levels as the mages will stop caring about his autoattack pokes and just nuke him. | ||

Me saying shit about ranged AD heroes will get me ridiculed, and my elo is arguably still lower than it probably should because I'm a lazy bastard. On the one hand, that's true, but on the other hand I'll still trust a say 2k player on a champ they rarely play over a 1200/unranked player, even if they play it a lot.

He can pretty much harass with Q forever in lane, and since the CD is so short he stacks the mana so fast. Plus he kinda needs a large mana pool. Ezreal doesn't need it. You're only going to W for stacks in fights, rather than as a spammed damage spell, and you really need to hold E carefully, rather than really spamming it. Q spam is covered by runing for mana regen. The one thing that needs to be recognized is that Tear/Manamune is NOT a sustain item. The amount of regen it gives is quite low for the cost, and it's not cost-efficient if all you need is long-term sustain (if you need just the regen component, Philo Stone costs less, gives more regen, and also has hp5 and gold generation). What it's good for is for champs that have high short-term mana demand (e.g. Corki can spam out all his mana within a few seconds) and can make use of the increased max mana it gives. Long-term mana demands can be handled by runing for regen/buying more cost-effective regen items. | ||

Regarding this: On September 01 2011 04:19 HyperionDreamer wrote: Urgot and Yorick are two that I can think of right away, Lamia was going manamune on Urgot non-stop at the most recent IEM. Lokan, I was thinking about our Skarner build that we were working on a while ago - we were just going tear, but manamune would likely work real well, no? AA > Manamune on Skar I've stopped getting tear, actually, for the same reason I stopped getting it on Cassi. Chalice is just better unless your name is Urgot or Ryze. When I first looked at Skarner, I felt like he was the hardest carry in the game, but couldn't place exactly why I was so convinced of this for a loooong time. But now I know. It's his passive. Skarner's passive is the most broken OP piece of bullshit passive in the game, stronger than even Poppy's I think. It may or may not make up for the rest of his subpar kit, but taken alone it is absolutely incredible. The reason: Skarner's passive makes CDR, AP, and Attack Speed scale multiplicatively. Let me repeat that for emphasis. SKARNER'S PASSIVE MAKES CDR, AP, AND ATTACK SPEED SCALE MULTIPLICATIVELY. Simply put, you can cut your cooldowns in half with CDR, and then cut them in half AGAIN with attack speed. Except with the attack speed, there is practically no upper limit to how much you can reduce your cooldowns. So when you have 31% CDR, 82%aspd and 148AP from masteries, Nashor's Tooth, and GRB, in a teamfight you can have your shield permenently up, refreshing something like every 3 seconds, Q about once per second, and E about once every 4 seconds. Needless to say, I think Sheen is a red herring. The optimum build is something like: boots 1 Chalice Nashor's GRB Zerks/Mercs/Swifts SV Wit's End/Bloodrazor, depending on the aspd cap, I'm not sure how many items it takes to max it out. | ||

First he dodged the question and then said it doesn't matter. Well i am never one to turn down some ingame harassement so for your viewing pleasure: EU West: Zalz ELO 1400 (1625 highest) I haven't played a ranked in ages but before i stopped 1625 meant i was rank 200ish. | ||

Chalice and Tear don't accomplish the same thing IMO. Chalice is primarily a regen/sustain item, while Tear is a max mana buffer item. | ||

Vlad W still allows Vlad to be affected by DoTs like Ignite. The Laser Bird is just an animation. It counts as a DoT for the purpose of mechanics. | ||
