WotA is useful in general because even your non-mages get some heal out of it. Starks is quite nice because your AD is your biggest threat and it adds to their damage + makes them a touch safer. Shurelya's + Aegis are the best two items for all situations. Soul Shroud is a niche item for poke comps that can make use of aura CDR. Locket is sort of a "well shit got nothing else worth getting." It helps a touch against AoE comps. It's not bad but there are just better choices in general. | ||

On the other hand it looks like diana snowballs around akali levels now. She's still pretty strong in lane but not the easy 100-0 champ she was before. I'll have to see her a few more times to be sure but she's close to being alright. She does have a better laning phase mid than akali IMO so she might still need some tweaks. Graves, played against him. His early laning is exactly the same, there's no real difference but you can feel the sustained damage deterioration later. He'll still truck people with Q+R but after that, his sustained damage doesn't stand up to ezreal/corki any more. Morde It's going to be weird adjusting to this. His E range feels like it got longer in the game I played against morde, I don't know if it's a product of the model size change but it doesn't quite feel as short as it used to. | ||

Every game I played where I had gold to buy other items after aegis/shurelia I've gotten mejas and dfg instead because it doesnt matter at that point. I don't like placing the burden of Aegis on supports in most cases. It's really hard for them to complete in time for the mid-game if they aren't getting assists or dragons. You practically have to rush it straight after Philo in order to be sure, and then you don't have Shurelya's or CDR. It's generally a much better item for your jungler or, if you aren't worried about having it in the center of action before the mid-game, your top lane. | ||

Aegis on melee supports seem like the way to go, because they need resists if they don't wanna get blown up. For ranged supports it seems more of a personal preference. | ||

Minion aggro is such that when they are hitting you and one of your minions comes into range they will switch from you to the minion (assuming the aggro isnt from hitting an enemy champion) | ||

You don't tank the damage of the creeps when your creeps are fighting, you do it when there are still enemy creeps but yours are all dead. Normally the creeps would walk up to the turret and die. Instead you tank the creep damage outside of the turret range, that way your creep wave will meet with the wave you're holding right at your turret. | ||

Remember that freezing the lane is only helpful if you keep it pushing toward you, which means that you only want to kill minions at roughly the same speed that your opponent/the other, larger minion wave kills yours -- try to stop your opponent from shoving the lane into your tower right away, forcing you to tank an even larger minion wave for a longer period of time, but don't just go on an auto attack spree now that you see a meaty wave in front of you. I was always under the impression that if there is something like a 11-6 advantage for enemy creeps that you wanted to knock a few of them down instantly. So if you knock them down to say 8 or 9, the wave should still push toward you due to their superior numbers, right? That way you don't have to tank nearly as many minions than when you just tank the 7 or 8 minions that are still alive because all 11 murdered your creeps really hard. Dunno, been trying to learn how to freeze my lane+lane control in general for a bit. Just what it seems like to me. | ||

Dunno, been trying to learn how to freeze my lane+lane control in general for a bit. Just what it seems like to me. Even if there are only 6 minions, you can get the other side to push if you stand a bit in front of your own minion wave which causes the enemy minion wave to focus you first forming a concave. When your own minion wave arrives, they'll arrive in a conga line and walk right into the concave you've set up and die faster since the enemy wave will focus fire better. Of course, you're exposed to harass doing this. But in an empty lane (say, the other guy just backed) it's a neat thing to sometimes do. | ||
