I don't know if spell vamp quints are THAT good on Kennen. For the first few levels, when your base damage is low, 9% is worth about 5 to 10 hp/5 if you're constantly throwing Qs, or pretty similar to hp regen quints. It's only later on that it really make you impossible to push out of lane, about the time that you would get a revolver anyways.

Granted, you'll be extremely obnoxious if you have revolver and the quints, but I think Kennen has a pretty dominant game right from level 1 and AP quints lets you really abuse it. I think the spell vamp would be better on someone like Vlad who just wants to survive as long as possible until level 7 or 9.

You sure? I think that's very dependent on what champion he is laning against. I also think the idea of having the extra vamp stacked onto my wota sounds pritty nice.. but I dunno how much 6% will really change things.

It's very matchup dependent, but I find that against mana based champions, a lot of people don't want to waste mana trading level 1 spells with you when they could save mana for trading higher level spells later on. Having the AP quints makes it more painful for them if they take free harass.

Ever been in that situation where you just barely died?

Kennen likes being in the middle of the fighting, and the extra oomph provided by AP quints is marginal at best, having that little bit of extra survivability will be nice indeed

Just about as often as I've been in that situation where something just barely didn't die.

6% spellvamp is only about 5-10 hp from low level Kennen Q's, so its early laning effect is marginal. Later once he starts doing real damage is when the vamp really kicks in. Flat AP is geared more toward earlygame, but it's really been the only viable option for mages for some time. It strikes me as a choice of early strength vs mid/late strength.

Does it occur to you that sometimes when you report somebody, you get the pop-up that "a mail has been sent, blabla" but the icon doesn't turn from red to gray as if you didn't report at all? Do you know if the player's still reported when that happens?

Mordekaiser is #1 spell vamp quint candidate. Why is everybody leaving Mordekaiser out of this discussion about vamp quints?

I'd still rather movespeed on Ryze. Champs that would consider spell vamp are probably the ones who don't use mana, just to maximize their obnoxiousness. I'm looking at you Vlad/Rumble.

Vlad, rumble, and kennen were my first thoughts too. Akali kind of needs the flat AP quints for her passive though. :<

Clearly Spell Vamp quints are the way to go on Ashe: Heal with Volley ftw!
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I'd rather stack vlad with the new %health runes than spell vamp.
You get revolver on your first blue pill anyways.

AP mid is a volatile lane and a lot of the time having the extra burst damage during a gank or simply being able to kill the other person first or at least the threat of it is what wins the lane. It's sort of the same reason that you need ignite.

I can see vamp quints working on top lane AP champs like Morde and Rumble where any extra sustain is really welcome. I would take the spell vamp going top as Kennen also, but for mid I think you really need the AP. And Vlad is a special case since he works a lot like a top lane champ.

You run hp/lvl seals on Vlad anyway. AP quints are outright better on vlad than HP quints. But spellvamp might work too now. Don't know until you really try it out. We're just theorycrafting here right now. >.>

% health is just mathematically dumb atm. They're really shitty runes from what I can see atm. =/

Considering that she used to be the unquestioned #1 champ in the game(immediately after first rework) I'm going to go ahead and say no, she's not anywhere close to 'as viable as ever.' Even if you are of the (wrong) view that she is a 'strong' carry right now, 'as viable as ever' implies she is currently at a state that matches her best, which is certainly untrue.

Of course I could've just laughed and pointed out how she's really not in a good place right now, but that's less fun.

She was pretty strong up until they reworked her and made it so nobody ever played her (again), lol.
