I thought her W had an AP scaling. I guess I'm blind ^_^ Cancel the rageblade then...You get 45 AP+48 more when it's stacked, but I definitely wouldn't max E first since the armor debuff doesn't scale. You get stacks from using abilities so there's no way it's going to have 0 stacks.

I wouldn't want a Rageblade later on cause it just doesn't compete with the legendary items.

I wouldn't dismiss rageblade entirely. I do think the magic resist from wit's end is too important to give up but I think rageblade is a very cost-effective offensive option if you need it at some point. Its cost-effectiveness has always been capable of keeping up with legendary items.

Looking at how the stats benifit shyvana, I'd say between R, E, and E proc passive, you get the value out of the AP, and of course you get value out of the AD and attack speed.

I experiment a lot on Ez during the past year and.. meh..

I think the reason why trinity became more standard over BT on Ez is because people realized red buff just isn't enough on him to kite anymore, which used to be the main strength of ezreal (he used to be essentially a monster with red and half a champion without). That red buff nerf for ranged AD carries is fairly significant as well and a lot of melee junglers can make better use of it.

I wasn't trying to take a shit on Rageblade, just saying that I wouldn't replace it with Wit's End early game. I'm actually gonna try it out in a few games cause I think Shyvana could keep stacks up pretty well (she's gonna be auto attacking and spamming skills in like, every fight).

The thing is, after I get Wit's End I wanna get some sort of tanky item to help me survive fights. I'm just not sure if Rageblade would be better than like an Atma's or Trinity Force or something (it could very well be for raw damage but it won't have the defense or utility of those other items).

That's why I'm dismissing it completely though. I was considering getting it instead of Wit's End as my super awesome offensive item. After you tank out you might as well go for BT if you want damage. The extra 800 gold is no problem in the late game ^_^

Anybody who shits on people at level 1-3. Until Sion's shield actually shields him he's very weak. Garen would be my top pick. If you force him to stun you every time he wants to last hit he's going to go oom real fast.

Any super sustainy farmer where you can just buy a negatron and freefarm. He's garbage in teamfights later.

How do most people open with Ryze? I usually go Mana Crystal + 2 followed by Tear -> Boots -> Catalyst, but I find I'm very squishy compared to a lane opponent (let's say Morgana) that gets an early Catalyst and/or stacks DRings. Do you guys think Catalyst first hurts your midgame damage at all due to lack of Tear charges, or should it be a definite choice?

I say you should level Shyvanas E second (after W). Her passive is what makes E an actual useful ability and lets you trade for high damage. E->Q gives you quite a bit of damage because the Q double-dips the passive when you auto with E.

Once I get tear I mostly use spells to last hit to charge it, which you can do more safely. I play Ryze a lot, once you farm tear -> sorc boots + catalyst (which comes first depends) -> glacial shroud + negatron cloak you're a monster. It sounds like a lot but it really is only about as much as deathcap/sorc boots/d rings. You get comparable damage to other APs and you're tanky to boot.

I'm working on a super secret project related to own3d and LoL streams that I hope to finish in the next few days / 1 week, depending on my level of motivation / amount of homework I have to do. To that end, I need a list of all the popular streamers, including the stream ID on own3d. Just dealing with own3d streams, right now.

What are you maxing first? I was doing R > Q > W > E. You don't really want to AoE and push the creep wave with W and E is a one point wonder skill. You get plenty of movespeed from level 1 W to get away from ganks, especially after you have R. I feel like having higher Q would be more useful to the E -> Q combo, but I've already been completely off with the numbers so Seeing as Q has an AD ratio and E has an AP ratio I guess it depends more on what you build.

Erm, you didn't really address my question at all. What I'm wondering is do people go Tear first or Catalyst first? You're kind of implying Tear first although you don't answer directly.

I've always gone Tear first but I'm starting to think Catalyst first is better, it just makes you so much sturdier in the early game, which is Ryze's greatest period of weakness IMO. It makes you theoretically weaker at the point where you get both (since your Tear has no charge yet), but I think you'll actually be stronger since Catalyst first gives much better sustain + defence, allowing you to farm more and win fights. Needs more experimentation, just asking around for some opinions.

Tear first seems to leave you with this really awkward period around levels 6-9 where you have literally half the health of your lane opponent that has a Catalyst and a DRing. You can't win trades at that point even if your damage is much better, and all it takes is one Q to hit you (still working with Morgana here) and with the W follow-up you're in the kill zone.

If you are laning then you almost definitely want to max the E first. None of the other two spells look particularly good as something you'd want to use for laning, but I could be wrong.

The main appeal of E is that leveling it up helps your auto and Q scale as well.

Tear first on Ryze is better if you can get away with it, Cata first is better if you can't get away with Tear first. Loci gets Tear first most of the time. Choose based on your lane matchup.

yeah you want tear first unless you cant manage it, also its allows you to stay farther back in lane as you should be using Q to get some of the last hits after you pick it up.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.
