I replaced my mp5/lvl with gp5 and I like it, but the lack of regen is noticeable at times. 7.2 gp10 at level 1 is pretty nice. | ||

Difference is skarner doesn't have a solid gap closer, nor any hard cc (until level6), while rammus has amazing gap closer and hard CC by level 4. | ||

I can see using gold yellows on soraka though, since soraka really has no reason to be up in front taking damage like taric and alistar. | ||

It's not that Rammus is bad, it's just that Skarner is so strong it's funny everyone wants to ignore him to ban Rammus. | ||

I replaced my mp5/lvl with gp5 and I like it, but the lack of regen is noticeable at times. 7.2 gp10 at level 1 is pretty nice. Because dodge runes are like the best defensive yellows for a support? You're not going to have money to buy tanky items much and dodge adds a lot of survivability throughout the entire game. Xpecial used dodge yellows on all of his supports. You shouldn't be needing mana runes on support THAT much when you open with faerie and aren't spamming your spells needlessly. | ||

Armor costs 15.55g/point 12.69*15.55 = 197.32gold 197.32/2.25 = 87.7 87.7/6 = 14.6 Therefore it takes 14.6 mins to make back the gold from armor -> g/10 g/10 seals will also give you 337.5 gold in a 25 min game. This combined with g/10 quints (+3g/10), and g/10 mastery(+2g/10) = 43.5g/min meaning with passive gold gain from mysteries + runes you can get 3 wards every 2 mins. Go Go support! | ||

I believe it may be useful if you can build stacks by hitting multiple minions on a cast. Hm, might be interesting to see if each Fox Fire/Ult laser gives a proc, or only one per cast. It specifically says 3 Fires, so maybe spamming that gives stacks faster. Each spell can give up to 3 stacks. So it's at least 3 spells to charge Ah, was that verified somewhere? If so, the passive is at least a bit better than I gave it credit for. Also, was it said anywhere how her Q works with that? Is it also capped at 3 charges, or no cap? If no cap, I can imagine throwing it into a teamfight or big wave for full stacks immediately by hitting out -> in, but I doubt they'd let that happen. It's capped at 3 stacks per spell. Assuming Q hits minions (it should) you will be able to get 3 stacks on each Q during lane phase and I'm also going to assume that W will give you 3 stacks per use if used on minions. The only thing is going to be if W will only count as one stack if all three fire foxes hit the same enemy (so if you use it on the enemy champion when no minions are around). Her E is single target so you'll never get more than one stack on it. In lane it might be better than I gave it credit for although you'll end up being forced to push the lane if you want to get your spell vamp stacks so even then... How useful her passive is during team fights depends on her R imo. If each time you proc her R it gives you three stacks then you'll be guaranteed to get spell vamp proc at least once, maybe twice, per team fight. But as someone else pointed out, how useful her spell vamp is will depend on how much damage her spells do as well as proper ordering of your spells. Like, assuming that R does the most damage you're going to want your spell vamp charge to come from it so you'd want to work your other spells around it. Or like, if Q is a powerful enough nuke and if the spell vamp applies to both the magic damage and true damage it deals you might want to ensure that it's your spell vamp spell. I like how Annie has to manage her spells. I'm kind of hoping Ahri will be similar in that I get rewarded if I think ahead and cast my spells in a smart order to get my spell vamp proc up. Then again, 35% spell vamp on one spell might not be a big enough of a deal to really plan out your spell usage in fights. edit: Ahri's not out yet. Comes out tomorrow. | ||

The opportunity cost of armor includes taking less damage from stuff, which is definitely not negligible, he didn't just mean a cost per point evaluation. | ||
