And Leviathan

How is leviathan trash, it's the only snowball item that makes you harder to kill.

The same argument could be made for Executioner's Calling ("Hey, it's the only item that reduces healing done to a target").

Personally I believe Leviathan is trash because most of the time snowball items aren't very effective, since if you get them when you start winning then you'll just win a bit harder, which is cool and all, but if you're losing, then you need to be outperforming your teammates enormously for your Leviathan to stay above 10 stacks (10 stacks is when it's cost efficient, but it should be higher than that imo, otherwise you could've just as well bought a giant's belt).

The reason I don't think Soto and Mejai are as bad Leviathan is because they become cost effective around 5-6 stacks while Leviathan needs a grand total of 10 stacks just to be as cost effective as a giant's belt.
Also Soto and Mejai's should mostly be used for champions that die very little (Kassadin etc.), but as a tank with Leviathan you mostly want to dive into the other team, in which case it's very likely that you'll lose some stacks from diving unless you have 20 stacks in which case Leviathan is absolutely godmode.

A case can be made for scaling items when playing champs that can escape with great ease but even then if you get them early (and you should) you are often still in the lane phase. A good opponent will not let you get away with wasting that much gold.


In my opinion the items are bad for two reasons.

1) They don't serve a purpose in higher skill gameplay
2) They dominate lower skill gameplay

And they ruin a lot of games for new players. What do you learn when an enemy has 20 mejai stacks? Uh you don't learn shit you just your face stomped and you can't figure out how to counter it when you are still new to the game.

People learn a little bit every game but you can't learn anything from scale items like mejai because they are just so ridiculously strong when stacked to 20 that they remove any chance to fight back.


In the end people finally learn to handle scale items and then they learned a lesson that they won't ever find themselves using since it's a shit item at the end of the road.

I actually use meja's to dump gold when playing sona. I'ts decent on her because you either get free stacks or they focus you which is good as well.

If you can afford Mejai on Sona you're not buying enough wards.

On the 'getting tear/archangels on caster debate', I'm finding it useful with my new account in China. I just bought Malzahar, but kept running out of mana at key times, which is a shame because of his long range spells, and benefit he gets from spamming them.
Without masteries/runes and with level 12 unreliable team mates who you can't count on for blue buff, I think rushing a tear is a good choice. It allows me to make life hard for my laning opponents, do great poking pre-team fights, and build into a decent item late game.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

If you can't afford Mejai on Sona, you're a bad Sona.

It's just better to buy things like Shurelya's Reverie in almost every scenario.

Can someone explain to me why Trynd is considered trash in higher levels? He's tough, has an invincibility button, sustain with a lifesteal, and does silly high damage when built even part way. Why don't we see more of him?

Exhaust, ignite and a possibly weak laning phase (and yet there are plenty of people who fuck up vs trynd and let him win), but he's perfectly viable in solo Q because of his ridiculous potential to screw up the game from the getgo if he becomes dominant solo top since you won't be able to stop him farming up.

I don't think too many people consider trynd trash tier tbh. There are some people out there who play ONLY tryndamere and they get good results.
