Armor reds or MR reds all the way huehuehue.

the opportunity cost of sacrificing 15% Attack Speed or 15 ArPen for 8-9 Armor/Mres is pretty hilarious to me. especially when you look at it and are like, "HMMMMM, free 420 gold in an offensive stat or free 150 gold in a defensive stat...? DEFENSIVE STAT, FUCKING DUH!"

I'd like to know who designs the character backgrounds for LoL champs. Some of these characters look like they've been designed by a focus group attempting to target every nerd in existence.

Take Ezreal, for example, he's basically some combination of a Final Fantasy and DBZ character. His backdrop is a "boy who goes exploring", this is every anime-thing ever rolled into one champ.

Tristana is even scarier. Her backstory is literally the backstory one of my friends in college had for her LARP group (replace gunner with archer and megling with half-elf and you're there). They even got the lesbian part right.

Defensive stat, fucking duh :> But you obviously knew I'd say that, so I'll leave it as is :>

Incidentally running the armor page on Kass lets me hang in a lane against Bruisers (as long as they didn't be like me and run full flat MR), lol. Although IIRC when I tested vs Turkey's Udyr he decided to be a right dick and massed MR items and I still hung in okay.

That's just because they semi-recently changed her to be more physical instead of split between all three types. It was magic for the longest time.

I've run both and I prefer Attack Speed. I might be crazy, but I just love more true damage procs and having a smoother attack animation in lane.

Besides, ArPen scales best vs. low armor targets and when you're getting more of it. Since I'm always vs. other high armor assholes with Irelia and never buying more ArPen, in theory it doesn't make sense to me to buy it, but I guess I might be theorycrafting my way into a suboptimal spec.

I thought she was supposed to be played more like an assassin jumping on the squishies and relying mostly on her Triforce procs than being a tank? I guess she could tank and go Fratma's using the frozen mallet to cc guys, but her kit only gives her one good cc for peeling guys off the carries, and it is only really good when you have the lower health percentage. Wouldn't the armour pen help more than attackspeed?

He's saying in lane.

In fights you want to go for the squishies, but nobody lanes any of those guys top. Top laners are always the guys that come to lane with Cloth+5pot and 70+ armor.

Frozen mallet gives less hp and damage than warmogs, not really worth getting mallet over warmogs.

I see what you're saying. You sacrifice a small amount of damage on your burst for more lane sustainability. Problebly transitions easier into mid game.

Yeah I figured you used attack speed just based on the animation in your stream. I guess with wits/triforce it doesn't make much sense but if you ever plan on going like atmas at some point arpen is pretty good. I'm never sure though one part of me says that you want to stack arpen but then I remember chauster saying that some combination of Arpen and AD is best since they scale off each other somewhat like crit and AD so if you ever plan on getting a lot of attack damage arpen helps a LOT on your Q and R.

Honestly the main reason I used arpen because if I want to play nasus or something attack speed is worthless but since I heard chaox recommend arpen on Irelia I thought everyone did it since they changed R to physical.

Warmog's gives more Health (1370 vs 700), but Frozen Mallet gives more damage (34 vs 27.4). It's not much more damage, but I'm a stickler for factual correctness.

Dude, they do too much fucking damage. I went 6/2/9 as sona yesterday I didn't play well at all and If I want a score like that on udyr I have to fucking tank everything and kill people who are using all their cc to get away from me. If you play sona you just run around with barely any AP just trol lolo lolo lolol spam W Q when theres anyone in range and blast with with your passive for crazy damage. And no threat to you since you can just stay in a safe place and use your spells from bullshit range any time its not safe.

He has one of the fastest first clears of any jungler in the pool. Coupled with having 2 great ganking CCs (one of which is also an insane gap closer and solid nuke, and the other which is one of the longest hard CCs in the game), he threatens strong ganks extremely early.
