Did they mean max shield first, or take shield at level 1 to absorb his Q? | ||

On February 26 2012 06:08 Hidden_MotiveS wrote: So I've been wondering about whether any item would be better on certain champions than deathcap as a first item. I mean of course if you put your masteries and runes around it. Maybe void staff would be better on an AoE sustained damage type champion like karthus since you are hitting a lot of higher MR champions. Then if you're a bursty champion perhaps dfg would be better (we had a discussion on dcap vs dfg on the sion thread? and it never really resolved). If you have an AoE initiate you get zhonyas (fiddles, morg, kennen). And finally if you have a lot of sustained damage and a low cooldown on one of your abilities maybe you can maximize your dps with lichbane since it might be essentially adding 1.0 to the ap ratio of a 2 second cooldown ability (ziggs has a 3 second cd bomb). Seems everyone just likes the harry potter hat :/ I never considered trying lichbane first on anyone until yesterday and I loved it on ziggs. On kennen and Morg I always go zhonyas first or sometimes after RoA on Morgana. I dont think Void Staff would ever be a good first item. I get it second on a lot of champs tho. Brand and Lux for instance. On sion I thought triple dorans mobility boots DFG was a common build. I love lichbane on Lux. Been playing Lux alot lately...been watching Chu8 too much | ||

For someone who calls others sheep a lot you sure are dismissive. What if you did lichbane on cassio? After a few twin fangs you do an auto attack. Bam 1.0 AP (80 from lichbane) gets added. It's also cheaper and provides some mana, movespeed, and MR. I don't think any of those stats are bad. | ||

Your AP doesn't exceed your base attack damage until you have like 120 AP. Which means you need 40ish outside AP for the Lichbane proc to even break even with Sheen. Given that you're also paying a bunch for the Lichbane upgrade (about 500 gold of the Lichbane recipe is spent on upgrading the proc), practically speaking you need at least something like 150-200ish outside AP for it to be cost-effective. Which means even for someone who has good skills for using and proccing Sheen, actually buying the Lichbane recipe probably won't be worthwhile until after another AP item (usually Deathcap). The problem isn't that Lichbane procs are bad. The problem is that Lichbane is actually a downgrade from Sheen in terms of proc damage if you buy it too early. Your Cassio scenario is also ignoring the fact that she can cast all her spells safely at 700 range, but would need to move in to 550 range to autoattack for Lichbane procs. | ||

i was just wandering why jungle cho gath isnt considered as an valid option in higher elo? in my opinion he has a solid gank potential with his q and w and he has basicly a free smite and his clear time is not that awful so why is he considered bad as a jungler? | ||

I saw Alex Ich destroy a Vlad top by doing this and making him eat auto-attacks everytime he tried to last hit before Q had a short cooldown, and since I considered using that + her passive before I decided to try it even though I thought he messed around. Did they mean max shield first, or take shield at level 1 to absorb his Q? Taking shield first works vs weak earlygame laners (kass, vlad, etc) since you can block their spell damage and gain more armor/MR. Then your autos hit really hard and you consistently harass them. But, I still think maxing e first is better. Mages generally are strong midgame, and you'd be giving up a lot of your midgame burst by maxing e first. Although, granted I never actually MAXED e first, so that part is purely theorycraft. | ||

Well I don't think you need 120 AP to break even. At level 18 cass's base attack damage is 104.6 (47+3.2*18) and that's regardless of runes, masteries or items. 2 DRings and a lichbane provide 110 AP and you'll have more by 18. I guess the range is an issue though. Wasn't aware her range was that high. | ||

Ya I never said lich was bad. Just that rushing it was. Had you suggested running sheen into dcap I would have liked the idea as an option. Im all for expirimentation. That doesnt mean that I will let stuff that acually isnt that great slide. The point of posting crazy shit is to see if anyone can figure out why it doesnt work. In this case, its for the reasons yango laid out. | ||

With only 100 total AP, you're tying up 950 gold to finish Lichbane to get a proc that's exactly the same. | ||

Also, just had this thought occur to me, what if they added the cloth armor aspect back to HoG? It only got removed because HoG stacking was so effective since you got both health and armor from it but after the armor removal people just started stacking philostones. Would a HoG with armor be balanced now since you can't just stack them like you used to be able to? | ||

I was Teemo top vs AP Sion. At around level 12ish I had Berserker's, Wits and Wriggles and he had Tear (what?), Tabi and Revolver. I figured I could beat him handily, so I went for the kill. I popped every shield before he could detonate and blinded him when he ulted. I led him across Mushrooms and overally just felt like I did everything I could, but he still beat me. Did he just get really lucky procs on his passive or what? I was rather confused about the whole ordeal. | ||
