  • Super fast jungle clear.
  • Very, very strong early ganks due to Q and E.
  • High natural AD from passive (and at low levels everyone else has very low armor).
  • Hilariously difficult to kill.

It also helps that his E shreds a pretty absurd amount of armor.

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.


Yeah and who doesnt like boobs? ^^

Tristana is a lesbian? o.O


Read the backstory part with Teemo. This eerily resembles people I know from college.

Incidentally, not only is his jungle clear fast, his ability to counterjungle is high too because he can get there, kill creep in one second (almost literally) and then roll back out.

To be fair, the part with Teemo has been retconned like 4 different times since the champions came out. IIRC at one point the story was that they were in a relationship, but Teemo threw a hissy fit and dumped her when she got accepted into the League and he didn't.

And incidentally, it's insanely risky to counterjungle him because of how fast he travels around, and how hard it is to get away once you're spotted in his jungle and he powerballs into your face, taunts you for like 30 seconds with defensive curl up, and laugh as you helplessly watch his laners converge on you.

Rammus with flash is probably the scariest (and easiest to land) pre-6 gank in the game. Heck, his level 3 gank (can be 2 but it's really risky to skip W in jungle) is comparable to a level 6 warwick gank.

How can we change the metagame? I played a game with 3 supports Tryn and Anivia. Tryn and Anivia built Sword of the Occult and Mejai's and were unable to be killed because there was janna, soraka, and sona to save their ass if they got into trouble. Both got 20 stacks and the 5 man push just raped the enemy team. What about this double jungle i've always wanted to attempt but never have seen.

someone did the math, frozen mallet gives essentially the exact same damage (maybe even like 2 AD more). the cost of the extra XXX hp is returned by the 100% auto slow. they're completely comparable

I did the math on the previous page. It's 34 AD for FM+Atma's, 27.4 AD for Atmog's. The difference is 6.6 AD.

I agree, both are completely viable picks and in many cases are interchangable. FM also has the arguably better build path because Phage is better then Health Crystal / Regrowth Pendant and occupies less item slots so you don't risk hitting that awkward stage where you've had almost no power growth compared to someone with a more mid-game focused build-path.

That said I still prefer Warmogs over FM in most cases because it is the "tankier" option and you aren't building Atmogs or Atmallet to be top tier dps for your team, you're doing it to be able to soak up rediculas amounts of damage while putting out respectible amounts of damage.

Someone did the math and pointed out that it was wrong, why the hell would you point out it's wrong again and refer to a previous post saying it's wrong. Does not make any sense.
I don't consider 600hp and regen equal to a slow, especially not if you also get a FoN.

On most of the guys where you're going to be deciding between Mallet and Warmog's, you're very likely going to want the Phage and the Giant's Belt. So it's really not the greatest idea to compare the raw items, but rather what you'd conceivably get out of the Phage/GBelt otherwise.

The question is do your finances allow you turning the Phage into Triforce and the Giant's Belt into Warmog's? Mallet is a good way to consolidate those items if you don't feel your gold income is going to allow you to round out the more expensive big items that build from them. IMO if your gold allows it though, Triforce and Warmog's are both cost-effective enough to be superior to getting Mallet.

Eh, I think turning Phage into Mallet is a luxury. I'd buy Phage -> Belt and then ponder what I'd need, but ultimately the decision for me is really whether to make Warmog, Funfire, or Triforce at that point.

yeah, everyone should just listen to TheYango 99% of the time because he's usually always right/more insightful than everyone who's arguing with him

i like mallet on someone like renekton, who's already getting a buttload of HP for free from a skill (his ult in this case), and who drops off as a physical threat in the lategame. give him mallet so he's got more AD on his skills and a constant CC threat and suddenly your team can't ignore him like they could when he had warmogs

on the other hand someone like sayyyy mundo or yorick who has less innate HP but some sort of soft CC, and can make more use of the regen, i'd go warmog's. they each can be a threat without high damage (%-based damage and slow on cleaver, ult and aoe ghoul madness with yorick) while you wait on your atma's.

where XXX is 670? And it costs 250 less. Oh yea and 15 HP regen/second.

I dunno, I get mallet sometimes, under exactly the circumstances stated above (I have phage + giant's belt and I want item slots quickly to get a faster atma's).
