+10 second duration is more in line with how strong the mastery should be. and that would be pretty good.

So ten seconds, maybe.

And I played a ranked game during the chat blackout-- We had a first pick jungle kayle, but it wasn't clear if he actually meant to jungle because he had smite or if he just didn't change his masteries from the game before. Instead of complaining or dodging or whatever, everyone just rolled with it-- no one picked top, and then our last pick went with olaf so he could easily play top or switch to jungle if kalye switched things up last minute.

All in all, things went much more smoothly than I expected for 1500 elo :D

Yep, that would actually be useful. The problem with Scout as it is now is simply that it doesn't really add anything at all. 5% more vision range doesn't actually give you 5% more vision because all that really matters is certain choke points. You don't get to cover 5% more choke points. But a 5% or w/e longer duration would allow you to spend slightly less money replenishing wards.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Actually, I think for most AD carries that rely on autoattacks, Havoc is probably better.

most auto-AD carries get 2 doran's blade, and usually a BT as their 4th or 5th item. That's 18% lifesteal right there, + more once you start stacking your BT. The difference between 18% and 21% doesn't mean much. If you were trading 1v1 with another AD carry that had less lifesteal than you, well in that specific case it would mean the difference between getting a kill and dying. However that rarely happens in late-game. Also, 18%-20% is plenty of lifesteal to fill up your health bar on minions/monsters.

Now, with havoc, you are doing an additional damage every hit. It may not seem like much at first, but remember that AD carries build AD, AS, and crit. With IE and PD, you are critting over half of your attacks, and doing 250% damage per crit. My typical Kog build does ~880 damage per crit without using Havoc. Havoc would add another 13 damage per hit. But factoring in AS, most champs are around 1.5 attacks per second, so that's about 18-20 extra dps. I'd rather have that than an extra 3% lifesteal when i already have almost 20% lifesteal.

Not every AD carry builds the same, but those are some good baseline stats using common items like IE, BT, doran's blades.

Kog with 350dmg, 1.5 aspd, constantly autoattacking something-- I'd rather have the 350*3%*1.5*5 = ~80 hp/5 regen (not including the crits you calculate the extra % damage on) than an extra ~20 dps.

Its a mixed bag.

Ive seen it like 5x, and three of them the lulu was totally underfarmed and couldnt do crap. The other two, she got some kills, and denied farm completely.

As an aside, SoloQ jungle, is there a more frustrating role? TheOddOne loses more in soloQ than the rest of TSM together it seems.

Haha, it's easy for me to remember because I've only played in three games with her. One was a normal with friends, one was a scrim, and one was a solo queue game last week. ALL WINS!

matter of preference i guess...in your example you should aready have at least 350 * 18% * 1.5 * 5 = 472.5 hp/5 regen, which IMO is plenty for an AD carry that stays in the back of fights and generally is ONLY concerned about doing more damage. At that point you just want to maximize damage, which...is exactly what Havoc does.

Eh on all my carries atm my masteries I spec into 2/2 butcher for easier cs, 3/3 AD, and more tower damage....I never run any points in the AP mastery anymore because the 1-4 more damage is just laughable

I'd argue that at that point you already do more than enough damage to melt just about anyone that needs melting-- as long as you stay alive and doing damage for the few seconds you need to, you'll win the fight. So I'd want some defensive attributes just to ensure that I stay alive for that time-- you see the same thought process from player building mid/lategame QSSes on AD carries vs teams with significant CC. It doesn't help them do more damage *directly*, but by staying alive and avoiding CC they can effectively do much more damage. I'd love to increase my HP regen during fights by about 10% rather than my damage by 1.5%.

I feel like as shitty as 3% lifesteal is, it's still going to be better than 1.5% extra damage because fuck doing an extra 15 damage per 1000.

That said, TD's argument boils down to this: lifesteal in general is a pretty shitty form of sustain that only becomes relevant when the amount of lifesteal gets close to the amount of damage you are receiving. The closer to the "break even point", the more important small % of lifesteal becomes, which means that in some way, the effectiveness of 3% lifesteal does depend on how much sustain you already have (but also your AD, your armor/MR and your HP/5 etc).


The likelihood of you surviving an additional autoattack and winning a battle (for that reason) due to an added 3% lifesteal is, in general, larger than the likelihood of you killing your opponent by requiring one autoattack less and winning a battle (for that reason) given 1.5% damage increase.

0->3% is not less helpful for sustain than 12->15% is. 3% is not much either way, just like 0->3% crit is not "more damage" than 50->53% crit.

Sure, you don't rely on lifesteal for sustain if you're not building lifesteal items. That doesn't mean it doesn't help you.

Is this where I slam my head on the fucking desk and point out that I WAS FUCKING TALKING ABOUT CHARACTERS THAT DONT DEPEND ON AUTOATTACKS?

Like Renek, Pantheon, ect?


dunno about renek, but lifesteal is pretty useful on panth early on. You do a shitton of autoattacking in lane, that is if you don't want to go oom, and the fact that you can quite often start dblade helps alot. Same with garen too afaik.

edit: same with garen as in autoattacking happens quite a bit in lane, not that he runs oom


About pantheon : lifesteal mastery is also really good on him because most of the time you are opening against a cloth+5pot opening with a DB (and sometimes boots+3) and your E passive gives you automatic crits on stuff below 15% HP so he sustains nicely from last hitting.
Dunk first. Ask questions while dunking.

situational. Most defensive items are built because they do something you can't already do (QSS removes cc, banshee's veil blocks an attack, GA revives you, etc.), not give you a 10% increase on something you're already doing. More damage is better than an extra 10% hp/regen (only when auto-attacking) for almost all of the AD carries in the game.

If 3% lifesteal on an AD carry often means the difference between living and dying, I think you're playing the champ incorrectly. Most AD carries are so squishy that if they focused in team fights, they immediately blow their CC/flash to escape, not stand there and keep attacking to try to lifesteal through the damage. On the other hand, doing more damage is always useful for an AD carry, since the whole point of an AD carry is to do the most damage possible.
