This is gonna be my last post for the night because I'm tired of explaining it. Lemme break this down.

If you can't think of good items to build besides spirit visage on vlad or morde I'm not going to tell you what the alternatives are. Open up the shop and look for yourself.

I can't believe that's your argument, "what else am I going to build?" I don't know, ANYTHING? These are hard scaling champs, there are a lot of things you can dump 1550 gold into that are going to be good.

Try reading, what other item that gives cdr, hp and resists


Hey, what items besides nashors gives attack speed, ap, mana regen and cooldown reduction? Nothing? clearly, than, nashors has been good since it's inception. I don't even know why they buffed it recently, can't get those stats anywhere else...

If you actually need ap, manaregen, cdr and attackspeed then yes nashors is a good choice.


Was it a good choice before the buff? I have no idea if it's good now but I'm absolutely certain it wasn't before. The point is that cost is relevant no matter what combination of stats an item gives. It makes no sense to say "this gives x y and z therefore it's good".

Not sure what's so hard to understand about that. But sure, you go and buy a large rod instead, and tell me how it helped you against a veigar or a lebonk.
Did you get stomped by a 5 SV vlad once for you to be this mad about an item?


How civil you are jackdino. For 100 gold more you can buy a negatron and finish upgrading from revolver to wota. Veigar can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

Only champs Nash decent on is like maybe WW


ugh...

Already have wota, SV lets me stay in lane longer, negatrons doesnt.


negatron does let you stay in lane longer...

Not as long as spirit visage.


raised eyebrow

Ok after some more thought I think one thing people are missing here is that healing is not a stat you wanna stack to infinity anyway. This is the same reason manamune banshees frozen is a horrible build. Adding a multiplier along the axis of a stat that sucks worse and worse the more you get of it is the opposite of powerful. An item has to be really, really freaking OP to make a build like that good. SV actually used to be but it's gotten nerfed to the point of fairness, ie, it sucks.


Could you explain this better? Not really sure what your trying to state. How is healing "worse and worse" the more you get?


You're buying it instead of stats that multiply with it like resists. Then once you get resists if you buy more healing you're buying it instead of stats that multiply with the resists, like hp. In the meantime you're falling behind because your damage is behind the curve and most healing effects scale off of that. It's also just common sense, doesn't your soul rebel at the thought of stacking vamp scepters?

It increases your EHP significantly and stacks multiplicative with other defensive stats (which the item has some of) and I feel that you also vastly undervalue CDR, especially on a characters (vlad/mord) that may not be carrying blue.


Just go to the cost efficiency chart and ctrl + f for visage


First of all, the item itself has synergy, it includes resists... Then, you follow by counter pointing yourself by saying that you're buying it instead of stats that multiply with resists, yet you just said that it multiplies with resists.


You are buying resists, you are buying HP, but you are buying them at a poor gold ratio to pay for the mediocre passive so you are losing stats that synergize. It's opportunity cost. To give you an extreme example of the principle involved imagine infinity edge cost twice as much but gave 1% attack speed. You would be losing out on attack speed, a stat that synergizes with infinity edge, by buying this new version of the item, even though it has attack speed among it's stats.

you're damage isnt actually "behind the curve" because your damage output will last for longer (due to your increased survivability


if you wanna get tanky you can do that better too


The extra healing is an increase to EHP, making it a valuable addition to the equation which you seem to be ignoring.


This is wrong. It's not valuable, and I am considering it.

Mathematically, it is not that good a deal. Period. Midrange items typically have grossly high cost to value ratios and visage is pretty much on par with base items. Look at glacial shroud which is straight up 500 gold above cost and loses stats because it builds into heart.

Also, buying SV isnt about being really tanky, ofc you can do that better with other items straight up. The idea is its a defensive item with other stats that can be quite useful to certain champions. It gives you a well rounded option at a reasonable price to have strong mid game survivability. Having a single stat defensive item that builds into something bigger isnt as strong because you get no multiplication affect. Not until you actually finish the item are you getting the full benefit of the slot spent on it.


It's true you aren't getting the full benefit of the item you are going to build a chain vest into until you finish the upgrade, but the chain vest itself is very competitive with SV.

The idea of an item like SV is that its strong in the mid game when you first finish it. As the game goes on, sure, having completed the deathcap instead of having its components would make a big difference. But, if the SV has given you an advantage early on that you might otherwise not of had, then you'll be at a very similar spot. In the late game, its always possible to sell it for another item of hiring value, and its resell price is much better than doran's which is an item commonly brought for the same purpose as i propose for SV - to give you a stronger mid game leading into your first major item purchase. Its not uncommon for a player to buy 3 dorans rings on an AP mid to acquire some extra early power... This has a very similar cost to buying a SV, yet the rings take 2 additional slots and resell for significantly less.


You are incorrectly assuming I think midrange items are bad generally.

Doran's give you a mix of damage and defence early game.

On vladimir, SV gives you no offence while giving you defensive stats that you can get without delaying your core significantly anyways. You could get negatron+finish your wota (or get a blasting wand if you already have wota) and you get MR, more damage, healing, and health cuz of your passive.
Sure CDR is nice and I like to get kindlegem if I don't have enough gold to buy a bigger item and sell it later on if I get to the point where I start getting blue pots but I still feel getting SV after wota on vladimir just isn't worth it in most cases.

SV imo works better for those sustain dependent bruisers who rely on their base damage while building tanky. Vlad's primary role is still to do damage.
Dunk first. Ask questions while dunking.

True Jungle mastery is being able to play a ganking jungle as a farmer and a farming jungle as a ganker.


Nah, this is easy. Farming jungle clears faster so it's easier to gank a lot and ganking junglers clear slower so if you try to farm constantly you'll not have time to gank.

It's the other way around that's harder.

Oh man Ive been playing Nidalee support (@1700 elo). I rush 3x GP5 before boots and play with a lot of mana regen runes and money quints. I am 7-2 in ranked. Every game so far Ive been carring, often getting more cash than our mid/top/jungle. My spears have been absolutely destroying. People shout: OH NO NOT NIDA SUPPORT at the start, and hail me afterwards. On average in the games Ive been earning 11.2k gold, carrying the team with a quick rabadons.

The most fun lane was with Ezrael (vs graves & cow). So much poke. Afterwards the enemy graves complemented me and said he was going crazy with the dodging.

A nice tip for people who want to have some fun. Its absolutely awesome. Just need to ban soraka :D

Yeah... I've had a game or two vs nida support before. Spears are really hard to dodge and the mana cost is really low >_> poke too good.

They can't really do that, it's just the base stats of the components.

No one knows how well blitz really scales, not even clg apparently when they ran support blitz n gave the farm to alis.
Attackspeed buff and AD duplicator(this the right word?!) apparently not as good as having cc.

a while ago i had a like 1 hour 10 minute game so everyone got to full build and they had a support blitz and he was ungodly tanky. i was trist and it felt like i wasn't doing damage to him. he 1v1ed a wu with him starting at like 10% and wu at 50%.

Pretty much this. Even if the Cass is terrible and misses almost every q, they just have to hit one and there goes half of your hp from the twing fang followup. If you miss a q as Lux, she can be in your face and zone you off of creeps for the next 10-15 seconds or so. The Cass has to be criminally bad for the Lux to even have a chance.
