Want to rage about your latest loss? Use the QQ thread. If you whine in GD, you'll get warned. ===== + Show Spoiler + If your [Stream] thread was moved to the general TL Stream subforum (aka SC stream land), find your thread and PM it to me and I'll move it back to LoL territory. I can argue with staff that moving a non-SC thread into a SC subforum is just asking for that thread to get buried. - Neo, Dec. 15 2011, 6:33 KST I have admin approval. I'll be moving LoL streams back to the subforum. Stream name will be based on Summoner name. - Neo 7:07 KST | ||

Sona actually does a crapload of damage through her Q and passive. I remember one game I was playing arranged ranked 5s with some friends and I got a quadra by accident -.-; and ended up like 8/2/22 or smth ridiculous. We won. | ||

Don't even need boots anyways. | ||

1- Occasionally someone WILL get away. It happens. And it never should. Always go for the kill, no matter who you are playing- the cost of trying to give it away and having a flash or tp or something flukey isnt worth it. 2- I can spend the extra gold better than anyone else in the game. I have seen way to much stupid shit in terms of builds from other people to actually trust them doing something smart with the gold, wheras I know exactly what it needs to go to. | ||

Except wasn't the mentality in DotA to feed all of the kills (or as many as possible) onto one character? People seemed to actually really try to leave kills for specific carries in that game... | ||

People seemed to actually really try to leave kills for specific carries in that game... They don't do anything resembling that in pro Dota, at least not recently. Supports in Dota arguably need more gold than supports in LoL because of items like Scythe of Vyse, Force Staff, and Blink Dagger, which when put on a support increases their ability to do stuff by a huuuuge margin. Also, due to TP scrolls, it's much much easier for a hard carry to afk farm all day long and get all their gold that way rather than through kills. In pretty much all the pro DotA vods that I've seen recently have supports/semi-carries getting all the kills while the hard carry only ever gets like 1-3 kills before the 30 minutes mark getting gold pretty much only through farming or assists. | ||

It's different in cases where there is no jungler and mid is AD, so I don't know what circumstances you're playing with but from my experience with AD carry/Support Bot, a mobile AP mid, a top with teleport, and a jungler if they pink the brush and you don't pink to remove it, then you can't go past river anymore because anytime you could get raped from the brush without vision. Whoever has more wards wins bot lane, unless jungler are incompetent or if there is a gold gap more than 1k gold. You can't be aggressive anymore + the fact that they can be = free lose lane. EDIT: also the fact that the person with first hit wins encounters if there is no overwhelming advantage, so you can lose a lot of encounters by having to facecheck even if jungle does not gank bot. EDIT2: I would recommend buying boots or pink wards if you get a kill early, because basic boots increases your speed by like 20%, and if you move faster you can escape from ganks easier allowing you to be more aggressive and zone harder, and pink wards deny vision, so while you may not actually have "real" pressure, there is a fake pressure from the simple possibility that the jungler could be the brush, for example, if the enemy does not have CV and you know that they have not warded one of the brushes, they cannot get even close to EXP range until they ward the brush again, and then in that case you can just kill it again with your pink. Overall my point is, buying philo for faster shurelias is useless at 4 minutes because you won't even need shurelias until like 20 minutes and the gold gain from philo is negligible. The only time I would buy gp5 items is when there is absolutely no kill potential (games with soraka in them  ) or when waves are constantly pushed to our tower and we have absolutely no pressure, and are completely focused on farming. | ||

I have seen way to much stupid shit in terms of builds from other people to actually trust them doing something smart with the gold, wheras I know exactly what it needs to go to. 1) is good, but usually I won't stop attacking until it's 1 auto to kill and I know flash is either down or I'm between them and their escape so even if they burn flash they're still down a summoner along with dying. 2) At least from the perspective of when I'm playing support is all the more reason to let them take it IMO. Yes I can take an extra 150 gold into a much bigger advantage than most solo q ad carries, but if a kog is deadset on a lw first, I'd rather him hurry and do that so he can move onto a better item than having higher stats on a champ that shouldn't die where even with such fed sustain we never leave lane, w/o good damage we're still no threat bot lane unless the other team tries to tower dive (which is more relying on them being dumb). Edit: spelling | ||

As for a few other objections- I dont give half a damn if someone looks like they should be in an inescapable situation. I am not willing to take the chance that my ally isnt going to derp or the enemy isnt about to do something insane. Again, ITS 150 gold. Its not enough of a difference to justify crazy shit happening. Again- Im sure other people think that they can spend the gold perfectly as well. Only I have seen Rumbles who refuse to get a wota. I have seen a vayne go Sotd into phage. I have seen some REALLY stupid shit. Again- it isnt worth backing off and risking a derp over. | ||

I've started preferring it as a source of lifesteal on Ezreal, since it reliably provides me with 20% lifesteal (vs unreliable 25% from a fully stacked Bloodthirster) and more importantly increases the effectiveness of the two AD bruisers that are almost certainly a part of my team.
