Who have I called sleeper op besides Olaf, Shyvana, Kennen, and Morgana? And Annie technically as well I guess. But she is just underused. You forgot your favourite turret like champion, that shoots lightning. And I would like to have something along the lines of: An Introduction to T_D Hyperbole: Theory and Practice. | ||

I'm sure it varies depending on the situation but I'm curious how you go about deciding which items are most important next. From my experience, after getting philo, hog if i can get it early, and lvl 1 boots (obviously buying wards throughout and possibly getting oracles), I'm looking to get one or two out of... - lvl 2 boots - Shurelya's Reverie - Randuin's - Aegis - Zeke's Herald The rule of thumb I've been following (it feels good, but I have no clue if it's actually good) is to build either heart of gold or aegis before shurelya's, picking hog if i can get it before 15 minutes and avoiding aegis if someone else already got it. I don't mind doubling up on shurelya's or randuin's, but i'd only get randuin's when they have multiple bruisers diving my carry. But I find it really hard to look at a teamfight and know whether it would have gone better if I had bought a different item, because there are so many factors and each item contributes in a very different way. Reverie good for initiate, also good for counter-initiate to an extent. Aegis good vs aoe, as is locket. Zekes is super good especially if you have more than one auto-attacker, suprised that I don't see this item more often tbh. I sometimes build frozen heart on ali/leona/taric too if no one else is, because I have an inexplicable hardon for frozen heart. | ||

If the game is moving really fast out of the laning phase and into the midgame then Aegis gives you the best bang for your buck. However Aegis is expensive for a support and takes up a lot of slots getting the pieces together. Randuins and Zekes are super duper situation in my opinion and usually i don't get them till after I already have boots 2, shurelyas, and Aegis. The way I always look at is that I try to get the best item I can for the immediate future, knowing that I'm probably not going to be afford more than 2-3 items after my g/10s. This way I maximize my effectiveness with the gold I have. | ||

I only went as far back as the Graves thread though, and only searched for "OP" and "sleeper". I also only spent about 5 minutes on this. Point being that you throw "OP" around like crazy and occasionally it turns out a champion you mentioned becomes relatively strong (=/= OP, and not always in the role/position/way you stated) and then you puff up like a peacock and claim victory, going so far as to claim you're 100% accurate in one post. This is also just your posts. You've thrown a number of crazy ideas around TL B chat/vent before and probably would have posted about them here if we hadn't talked sense into you (we couldn't save you from jungle TF sadly). | ||

But I find it really hard to look at a teamfight and know whether it would have gone better if I had bought a different item, because there are so many factors and each item contributes in a very different way. There is almost no situation in which Randuins is a good idea since HoG builds into Locket nowadays and omen is stupidly expensive. An ok active that requires you, the support, to be directly in the middle of a fight to be most effective. This combined with a passive that won't be efficient on you since they aren't going to focus you, and if they do, you'll pop too fast anyway. Locket should be the final buy if you really want to convert your HoG though games shouldn't last that long. edit: For the rest, you basically answered most of your own questions correctly. If you want help in assessing a team fight, I would say it's dependent on which support you chose. There are certain situations where Aegis (i.e. someone like Janna or if team getting exploded) is a better first buy and some where you want the reverie (i.e. supports who lack escape or CC). | ||

But I find it really hard to look at a teamfight and know whether it would have gone better if I had bought a different item, because there are so many factors and each item contributes in a very different way. reverie is a massive priority, imo. Boots 2 is low on the list (esp on janna, many games I don't even get boots 2, kus they're just not that valuable for supports). Due to several top laners and junglers getting aegis (esp junglers, mybe less so on the top laners) that priority becomes a bit lower as well. After revierie, herald or wota comes first imo. I've been getting wota a looot less since every AP mid gets one, and occasionally a top laner will get one as well. If you have double wota, don't bother getting a third, if you already have one on mid, unlikely you need a second on the support, i used to get it a lot tho, before every1 and their mother got it on mid. Herald is super good on supports, i get it a lot. I actually already got starks a lot, and herald has become even more support friendly. specifically on sona, i get a tear later on and just end up building it into AA sometime(yes, i know AA's not technically efficient without another mana item, but A) i like tear on sona, and B) I can't afford anything before AA anyways, and i'm not gonna get a roa or bveil within any reasonable time frame) I don't like omen on supports, but that might be more of a preference thing, i find that slowing bruisers doesn't typically help much more than the skills that already come with most support's kits. Mybe on soraka it might be better. | ||

CDR, Life steal, HP and AS? Hell Yeah! Also note that after the Wriggle's nerf next patch the life steal on Zeke's and Wriggle's will be the same. | ||

Can't really comment on the other supports (Soraka, Sona, Etc) because I don't play them often enough. | ||

It's Zeke's, Gunblade, Exec and Doran's that aren't changed. And cutlass techinically but that's part of gunblade. | ||

I would love it if Cutlass would build into something different from Gunblade, for the champions that don't gain a lot with AP/Spell Vamp. Maybe an option of Cutlass + Brutalizer building into something with an active nuke that does physical damage or something. | ||

Shyv, Wukong (I said sleeper decent here btw, which, ask smash, was pretty correct (not bad for 5 months ago either)), TF, and Morde are all sarcastic. Go back and check context. Sleeper op list was not who I felt was op, twas a list of champs who hadnt been played for ages so people thought they sucked. Sej, meh, I guess you can call me on that one, but that was before we knew A) how shitty her kit was in terms of scaling and B) how shitty her jungle was. Xerath IS the single most underplayed champion relative to how good he really is. Jiji been rapin koreans all day with him. As for guide to T_D hyperbole: If there is a op yo~ at the end of the sentence, chances are its being sarcastic. And so far Jungle TF has been in more competitive games than Soniv's lovechild Viktor, so there. | ||

swifties, mobility, soul shroud, all tenacity items except mercs, thornmail, ghostblade, nashors tooth, spirit visage. I think at least swifties, mobility and nashors are overpriced, the others too situational. | ||
