Craton there is really no points in arguing with Utah. Regardless if he's right or wrong he'll write big words and long paragraphs and crush you down with his English degree. (not saying either of you are wrong, plz don't paragraph rape me plz)

I don't know why, but on TL, Smash and Utah can convince me about anything very easily. They don't have the same writing style tho.

Is that really all about getting or not getting gp10s? Who cares, your top is 0-3 and mid is afk.

0-3? Psh, I could carry that. I think you mean your top is 0-6, your jungle hasn't even stepped into the river all game, and your AD carry wants to go mid with your AP carry.

I really don't know how you can argue Philo being worth 0 gold, even if you absolutely despise the item. Are you at <100% hp? If yes, Philo is helping you win. Are you at <100% mana? If yes, philo is helping you win. Even on Soraka(here's the part where it makes sense even). Soraka can keep herself at peak mana with infuse, those are infuses not used to harass because of mana conservation. Soraka can heal herself, those are heals not used on your carry(and thus, armor not on your carry) which is not as helpful towards winning lane. Don't even attempt to tell me you are never taking damage for this choice to become apparent, everyone knows it's a lie, trades happen.

You could make a logical argument based on how games actually play out, that really what Philo Stone needs to makeup for in gold, is 15 AP. It is superior in mp5, and superior in any situation where damage is traded at a non lethal level(the vast majority of lane phase, and for Soraka, probably most team fights). Even in a case where you were killed, you have to actually remove yourself from the moment and consider if 100 more HP would've actually meant you living. Were you at 100% hp when this engagement began(you may have been if you had philo instead of that DRing)...

Essentially my point is leading to what we all actually know: this game doesn't work in a fucking vacuum. You can't just throw out math and call it a day, this isn't a WoW DPS spreadsheet.

I tend to go most games without taking hits as Soraka, so... yes, I find Pstone utterly worthless. PGB school of glass-cannon positioning Soraka :< I mean as I said, it's hero-by-hero, player-by-player. I would much rather have a Kage's Pick than a Pstone (and have done so). Others may disagree. I just don't agree with the sentiment that "because all the pros get gold/10 it is a REQUIREMENT."

Also I guess my big fat disclaimer is that I'm notorious for building for the situation, and I have no qualms with buying like 4 small items and ending a game without ever making a big one.

... much to Neo's eternal chagrin.

especially soraka is almost allways at 100% hp and drops to X during a major engangement, let's say a gank or a dragon fight. HP regen isnt helping you at all there. I'ts like not even close.

mb you read the post again or sth.

+1, graduate students 2 stronk at arguing.

I find it funny that so much time was spent arguing over the LEAST important aspect of a support (you're not getting gold worth shit who the fuck cares what you build?) rather than areas in which a support can actually greatly effect the game (eg: how come EU supports >>> NA supports so hard?). For example ward placement/timings (when is the optimal time to place wards against all the junglers/lane matchups?) as well as optimal CV timings and placements (so many times you want a CV to cover for something and your support goes "nope just used it to check their blue that the enemy mid clearly has").

Turkey so troll that it happens without conscious action or effort, a butterfly effect of trolling.

I feel like assuming the charm + pots + wards opening is the best, the game should dictate what you buy as a support.
If there is a lot of fighting going on, I think the doran's rings would work better because you are more useful in fights. However, if it's mostly a poke war + farm fest, I feel that getting the g/10 items will benefit more because that's more income during that period. The reason most pro supports get g/10 is because there's not a lot of kills during laning phase, which means that spending the money to get items that provide good stats as well as increasing income for wards is better.

Thank you, I thought these were it.

What does it stand for Gold point 5? Or something?
