I'l have to practice a bit with him before i put him into my ranked roster, but what i've seen so far He is really good if you can land the skillshots. Also bought cryocore. Was thinking of vandal, but then I saw the ingame model and didn't like it. Coolfact: if brand can land all 4 skills and ignit ewith a few autos mixed in he can kill the other champ most of the time if he has low mr and low base hp | ||

RoA doesn't make you tanky enough because you still lack the Armor/Mres to tank their entire team when it comes to a teamfight. The other problem is that you don't have enough single-target burst, so you can't pick off their AD like other AP champs would. He is indeed super fun. And his ratios are amazing, BUT he has only 1 (2 with ulti) damage spells. His Q is totally useless in team fights. (superb for securing objectives tho). His W is obv. super awesome for your carry. His E has some nice ratios but is his only reliable damage skill and the range is real short, but well, at least it slows and unless you are empire you should always eat an instant stun or smth when you channel your ult. So your team relies on either fighting in brushes or your carry being so fed that your W can decide the fight. | ||

Super cho build if only you could fit in some attackspeed.. | ||

Banshee is trash since you pay a lot for the Mana, Abyssal is very expensive, Wits doesn't give that much MR if opponents play double AP, FoN is balanced around paying for a lot of health regen, QSS is nice but still a «low tier» item... When on the armor side you have Randuin, Frozen Heart, and Atma, the MR def looks kinda lackluster. | ||

Throw in all the free mr that champs get from abilities and mr isn't a huge problem Fon is the best single item mr slot. After that just stack negatrons if you need mr but not mana Also mr isn't the only or even the best counter to magic damage. Since magic damage is typically more bursty than sustained compared to physical, hp is very strong against magic damage Aegis + chainmail + negatron is the most cost efficient way to get all good defensive stats iirc. It's just bad item slot usage (yango confirm pls) | ||

Yeah there isn't really a single item as a good source of pure MR, although I wouldn't consider QSS a low tier item. Either stack negatrons or negatron + hp item and then finish your other items. Atma is not highly defensive but provides a nice amount of armor WHILE being cost efective. And for QSS/Negatron stacking, I'm more looking for single slot effectivness ! So hard to itemize MR >x> | ||

I used to generally ask my team what they want to play to avoid banning them, and went for Vayne or Graves (if requested by our AD carry), Riven, rest junglers (Rammus if the opponent didn't, Skarner, Lee Sin). I've started banning Sivir since she's been picked a lot and generally dominates people during the laning phase, and Riven isn't picked that much. I'd perhaps ban Ahri (for not knowing a reliable way to counterpick her and because she can easily wreck havoc with her ult, cleaning-up ganks or counter-ganks from the jungle whenever somebody emerges at low health), and Vlad if I see him start to get picked because he's so stupid right now, even in his early levels. | ||

I think most chos go RoA/Frozen Heart anyways, and then build Deathcap if going AP. Wit's end is pretty standard for attack speed.

I agree that's a pretty good late game build for any AP champ but I don't know how you can be useful mid game without damage. I don't like going tanky Cass without a WotA because WotA scales really well with defensive stats. The longer you stay alive, the more you spell vamp, which keeps you alive longer, which lets you spell vamp more ... It's much better than buying WotA on an offensive build. I've been seeing people go Doran's into WotA on Gragas and Brand, which is like... what? It's a good item, but it's not a good item on everyone. | ||

Im AD bot, I freeze the lane just outside my tower, so perfect for ganking and farming, while they have to be on their toes. Suddenly theres a 5man gank on bot, towerdiving me and my support (tp behind us, some flashes). Mid comes over and kills one before scaring the rest off. While Im running back to my lane (this was about lvl5 ~) the AP (Ahri) proceeds to take the full 30 ish creeps that I froze there and runs off. Costing me a good level and alot of gold. The rest of the game Ahri is complaining how my cs and lvl are so low (exactly 20 cs behind and lvl) and why my lane is allways pushing.... Meanwhile she was losing to a katarina on mid... Aaaaaargh, some people. Screw over my lane, complain how my lane is so bad. Some people dont know the thought goes into the farming on bot. brb smurfing with twitch | ||
