EDIT: 16th minute, he is 2-4-5, still no boots. It seems that he will almost surely get dcap before boots this game. Bloody hell. EDIT2: he bought boots at 20th minute after he lost his tower. | ||

Kindlegem was added like Sept 10th 2010, it was pretty much something Ruby Crystal built into for Shuerelias. It was the same patch as Sona. Pretty much the only use at the beginning was it slowly weaving into Soul Shroud and then Spirit Visage. Of course Locket was still in the game at the time so nothing beat rushing that on Veigar/Udyr/everyone. Honestly there have been some pretty amazing item abuses back in the day, such good memories. | ||

According to wiki, Kindlegem was introduced with Sona in September of 2010. Was initially only part of Reverie, became part of Shroud in October, and Visage in December. Edit: zzz. OP. | ||

LoL such a great historied game. like if i could take my game knowledge now, and transport me back to the beginning of s1... holy shit haha. i would be so dominant. it's funny the trends we don't see until well after the fact. | ||

Locket abuse was probably the most ridiculous. Pretty much everyone had infinity sustain with it - like 50-75 HP5, so it was burst or no dice. (And it had like +400 HP?) | ||

The reason why Trynda was so good was because he had insane sustain with his Q and the rage decay was so slow. They nerfed both really hard.People were .going as far as running ap quints and you could just stay top forever no matter what | ||

Once you got a decent amount of armor it was fine and you could farm without the fear of dying randomly to crits but early levels were just so stupid.You could come to lane with a full armor rune page and still get shit on. | ||

Crazyyy. Didn't realize it's been that long. I think some people did still use cdr/lvl blues for a while. But it took them a long time to realize supports aren't dead weight, shurelyas is awesome, as is aegis, gp10's can actually be useful, and that mr/lvl blues are awesome. I remember supports used to always build doran rings and half the time couldn't even afford an aura item before shurelyas was even in the game and people's ideas began to change. The addition to kindlegem, adding items it could build into, and nerfing/buffing certain runes all played a factor into all the changes in the metagame. Like hell back in those days malady still gave lifesteal. Do you remember all the bad players building malady on ww and teemo? I do lol We walked 15 miles from top lane to bot, and didn't have cdr boots to do it either, sonny. | ||

But it was weird on the other team they'd rape and go like 500-0 and our team they'd go 0-500. which still happens today though | ||
