I build it many many more times than the average player I think. | ||

Why don't people build chalice as ap mid more? The mr helps in the current meta and you don't have to be reliant on blue so your jungler can keep blue if they need it (amumu). | ||

Merc treads, chalice, spirit visage, then you just spam q for heals on whatever you want. Thinking about which ap's would like chalice though, I can't really think of anyone other than galio. It's really chalice vs tear for ap's that need more than blue buff. Would chalice be better on someone like kass and anivia compared to tear, or would they rather have the +1000 mana. | ||

Solves her huge mana issues and since her positioning superiority was nerfed, building complete glass cannon is probably not as effective as at least having a little bit of MR in lane. Wonder what his runes/masteries were. Salce also bought Sorc boots early then sold them for CDR boots even though he had blue buff on cooldown. Not so sure I agree with that one, but watching him still made me want to buy her... | ||

Vs some champions that extra MR is golden while having the extra regen to spam them down yourself. | ||

I believe Hotshot would get it and then sell it a bit later but he mostly only got it for lane phase 'cause even release Orianna had mana issues. I'm pretty sure I remember that even at MLG Providence when Hotshot ran Ori that the MLG Twitter commented something to the effect of, "Hotshot winning his lane hard with Chalice of Harmony on Orianna." I think jiji would always rush Cata into RoA on Ori though. | ||

Salce is making me like ori a lot though. Leblanc counters ahri so if you see lots of her you could buy lb. | ||

I didn't play her at all after that, even when she had a minor buff again but I'm interested in picking her up again due to the playstyle. I really fucking like how many options and possibilities there are with all of her skills and how Q is very skillshot based, if she's still actually a good pick I want to know. boots1, chalice, sorc boots, deathcap, void-staff, needlessly large rod (probably for a zhonya's later). After void staff he sold sorc boots for boots of lucidity. I don't agree with this choice. There wasn't any MR on the other team's squishies but his build is just about maximizing burst damage. Later he sold the chalice for a negatron cloak but I didn't agree with this choice either, since the only reason he wasn't having mana problems was that he had blue nonstop for the past 8 minutes from killing enemy champs. When his blue got stolen, he started having issues again. Burbs the vayne on his team... got popped like 5 times by the enemy leblanc. Like every time leblanc comboed him he got down to 30%. With one negatron cloak he'd survive with 50% of his life and not make himself as easy of a target vs the enemy nocturne. Kept costing his team battles by dying like that. | ||

Even plenty of starcraft fans get pissed of at LoL doing decently. Its not like these games can't co-exist. Everyone is an elitist. In this case, the thread is about EPS dropping DotA, not picking up LoL. It's not "being happy for LoL doing well", it's their game getting shafted with the express reasoning that they want to run just LoL. While DotA fans can be unreasonable, I'd say they actually have a right to be annoyed here. If you want the games to co-exist, go ask EPS why they can't run both games. | ||

This just made me want to play right now. wtb more skillshot based champs. | ||

The gold cost has not been announced yet, but it seems that the locket is a pretty good support item. Not only does it build very smoothly (Hog -> Emblem -> Locket) and should be done by mid game, where is aura regen, and AOE shielding will be most effective. At lvl 12 its a 170 shield on you entire team, which is pretty neat for a dragon figth. | ||

When a game becomes more popular and brings in more viewers than a game you think "deserves it" then you're obviously going to have people try to rationalize it as being an "easy game" or that "Riot paid them off." From an objective standpoint, Riot having a hand in EPS dropping DotA 2 isn't that far-fetched. Again, this is not "LoL is doing well, lets congratulate them"--EPS has been running LoL for forever now. EPS basically just said "we don't want to run DotA, because we're already running LoL". Not only do DotA fans have a right to be annoyed, it does seem somewhat fishy that they can't run both simultaneously. Assuming they're contractually obligated to Riot to not run competing games is jumping to conclusions, but I'd say it isn't totally an outrageous one that's unfounded.

I, for example, enjoy lol AND dota 2, and will not bash on either the game or people who prefer one over the other. What I WILL bash on are the assholes who start bashing lol (or any other game for that matter) as soon as any bit of positive news emerges. I call them dotards. Dude, did you even read that newspost? This news is 0% positive. Again, EPS was ALREADY running LoL. The only thing that's news is DotA 2 getting fucked. | ||
