Over a reasonable period of time, the cost of DBlade+Wriggle's will catch up to and surpass the cost of 3DBlade. You get more lifesteal and armor at the cost of 200hp. Additionally you get the passive which gives you the option of some unusual Dragon and Baron timings. Then, you get the fact that you always have a ward to use to guard your farm. I don't see how the DBlades are MORE flexible, if all they give you is the option to be more aggressive to take advantage of your larger health pool. To me, it seems as though Wriggles opens up far more avenues of play throughout the game. | ||

I just think that it could be interesting for another champ to have a click and drag skill. Janna Q starts from her original location where as for Rumble it can start away from him. Since there's a fixed point it has to start from (Janna's model), a click and drag would be even slower than just point and click. | ||

Because you have the option to sell a dblade for bigger items and you get their full effectiveness when you buy them; you don't have to wait until you complete the final item to get all the stats. What's not to understand? Wriggles can speed up a dragon or baron, but it does not change the timings of when you can do them. | ||

Unless you mean you could change the location where the gale is summoned, then that would be cool. Possibly horribly OP. | ||

Why don't Karthus and Anivia walls work the same way as Rumble's ulti? Empath's wall works like that in HoN. | ||

The main thing is that when you're building Wriggle's, you're pretty committed to building it once you have more than a Cloth Armor for it. Suppose you have Madred's Razors, and then a Dragon fight happens, and you pick up some kills/assists, and have enough for BF Sword. At that point having Razors is super awkward, because its absolutely not cost-effective for what it gives on its own, and you're probably not going to finish Wriggle's there over getting your BF Sword. Wriggle's is nice, but the components are comparatively underwhelming, and are certainly weaker while you're building it than having Doran's items. There are completely reasonable tradeoffs to using Wriggle's vs. 2-3 DBlades, and it's hardly black and white. There are benefits of both and its very much based on playstyle, matchups, and how the game is going. | ||

Abilities that can easily win you a fight should require more thought than point and click. Forcing people to pay attention to their positioning when using abilities is a good thing; rumble's ult can't be countered -- this is bad. | ||

If you have boots + 3 dorans + BF sword, that's nearly all your space. Especially once you go past your first big item, suddenly you can't hold more of those "builder" items, and you're forced into a tough choice between selling a dorans early vs pooling gold. I totally agree with you though that it's totally valid to do both, I just wanted to understand why Craton was saying it was more flexible. | ||
