I totally agree that Avarice Blade is extremely underwhelming right now. You need to get it early and at that point crit chance just sucks. If anything it ruins lasthits.

If it was aspd or AD instead it'd be far more viable. Something with mediocre cost-efficiency, like maybe 25% aspd at 825g or 15 AD at 750Gg

Umm, I am a bit confused. If poppy is in the bush, AD is in lane, the wall is behind you. How can you stun AD against the wall?

You camp the forward brush, on both sides there's walls. If the AD is closer than that you just run to them and auto like a motherfucker and they're forced to either attack you 30 times missing about 20 minions or run away (And btw you win the trade if your carry attacks him too, I don't think there's a stronger lvl 1 than poppy for supports)

I have decided two things recently

1). GP10 items are really good if you get them early enough and play passively, which I tend to do

2). They need to change or remove avarice blade. Right now there is no reason for anyone to really get it. Crit chance just isn't that appealing of a stat. I wouldn't mind a Kage's with just AD, or something with AS, or maybe even lifesteal. But right now, I find it silly. The only time I have ever gotten it was when I went 4 GP10 AP Ganglplank.

P.S. got shitloads of gold and carried hard that game.

The other problem is that it only builds into ghostblade, and if you're planning on ever getting one, you want that brutalizer as early as possible (when flat arpen is the strongest)

Thinking of purchasing Vlad or Swain. Who do you guys think is less counterable at the moment? I feel like both champs are more for counterpicking rather than first/second picks in ranked.

Swain IMO, his recent buffs made him a very strong laner, Vlad is way too counterable(not to mention Swain counters him) he loses to ALOTTT of people

Is anyone planning on making a Draven thread anytime soon? I think I'm starting to learn him pretty well. Maybe after a few more days of DRAVEN spam I'll be ready, even though my current elo is quite low but

So I've been thinking about an item I used to build on Irelia way back last year. Eleisa's Miracle kinda sucks, especially since you wouldn't build it out of Philo when Shurleya's is around. I think the item needs to build into something similarly to what they did to the chalice.

edit: Swain is and already was pretty strong. He does have losing matchups though, so definitely not easy trying to pick him. Hes really more of a counterpick as you mentioned.

Both are pretty strong, but Vlad does top better than him imo. Plus his team fight is better imo as well.

Armor pen. Just flat ARP. Would buy it a lot.

Also, I haven't played against New Swain much but last time he was strong I would just shove him to tower all day. Never fight, just shove. He has no wave clear and his last hitting is pretty gross.

they recently improved swains autoattack animation. it still does kinda suck, but its not unworkable. swain is pretty strong in many lanes, but he is boring imo.

Oh wow that is another really good point, hadn't even thought of it.... So there is honestly no reason whatsoever to be getting this is there?


Maybeeee on jungle tryndamere, but even then

People dont let me top Draven because I tanked my elo too much.

The only time I actually picked top Draven the last pick got super raged and picked surge/promote Heimerdinger and went to dual toplane with me vs Irelia (I went 11-0-9 that game)

Speaking of early Avarice Blade/Ghostblade, I thought it would be great on a Kayle, however the active on it doesn't seem to work at all/unoticable with her E. I guess I have to activate it and get a few normal auto atatcks in before i can pop E or just not get it completely.

Same with Cloak and Dagger, and Spellfire Moonblade.

No one buys these.
