Spirit Stone also gives similar regen to Philo while also providing nice build paths and not taking the other slot. Lack of gp5 of course, but that should be less of an issue with the ambient gold increase. Maybe we'll see some deeper Utility jungle builds for the gold masteries, but I doubt it.

Yeah, I guess the support ratios being garbage makes AP even less appealing. It seems useful on paper, but not as good in practice. I just find it so hard to believe that Riot finds all of their decisions to be rational. Aren't there enough people at the company that raise similar concerns that some people have here on TL? Like AP being hard to itemize on supports or how dumb sightstone actually is as an item. I just feel like there are so many little things that a small community is able to call bullshit on that Riot is just blissful unaware of.


The answer is no, no they don't. Their fundamental ability to consistently contradict themselves saying, "XXX" is bad design (because it is) then immediately making more of XXX. Riot is too busy talking about toplane snowball (then introducing snowbally toplane champs and snowbally toplane items) to understand what is going on in a diverse meta.

The best example is when they used "passive gameplay" to refer both to laners playing passively against one another as well as to junglers farming and not ganking enough--when the two are partially antithetical to one another (making laners safer disincentivizes ganking; making ganks easier to pull off encourages laners to play safer). Thus they more or less referred to every relevant change as "addressing passive gameplay" while actually doing nothing to combat either problem.

Honestly, I'm seeing Bottle as the most likely regen option for junglers (supplemented by some potions).

It's price point is really good--it's essentially 2 HP pots and a mana pot every time you go back to base, for basically twice the cost of those pots. By your 3rd trip back to base, it's worth its weight in potions (and a regen item that compares to potions for cost-effectiveness is pretty freaking good).

Philo looks a lot less appealing when Riot took a dump on Shurelya's.


You can actually start Cloth/Machete + Vial on a fair number of junglers, provided you pick up Greed and Wealth in utility. At that point you might as well be 9/0/21 or 0/9/21, but it's a very safe opening as you've got a ward for invasions, 380 healing and 160 mana. Whether it's worth the loss of deep Offense/Defense masteries is a tough judgement call.

I was thinking more in the long run, say, buying Boots+Bottle on first back.

Starting with it is an interesting idea, but as you said, might not be practical.

Yango i took all the AP on support items to mean they want to encourage things like karma mid nami mid ect. put rumble/vlad top for your magic damage and use jungle for your bruisery thing and bot with blitz/alistar/leona/sejuani ect.

putting your support mid and having them farm the qss on other item, the command aura item among other items let's them still be able to clear stuff and ward while also getting the strong support items.


Nami's ratios are not that great. Karma's ratios will most likely take a big hit once her rework is out.

The best AP scaling on a support right now is probably Janna (0.9 on E, 1.4 on R with full cast).

k. totally not the point of what i was saying. at all.


Is having a support mid really worth losing the damage of a traditional mid?

You seem to be suggesting a double support comp, which I think gives up too much midgame strength for utility.

How does Sej work bot though? O:

Damage is not actually the limiting factor when it comes to picking supportive mid heroes. The thing is, a team doesn't actually need 3 fully-farmed damage points. We already know that 2-carry strategies with a supportive top laner or even 4-protects-1 strategies with only the AD as a main damage point are completely viable strategies, meaning that not having the mid AP as a primary damage point is not an insurmountable drawback.

The only real requirement is that you don't overfarm the mid AP--which is a mistake that is extremely easy to make with Janna or Soraka mid given how easily they instaclear. Even if they can clear a massive creep wave, they should cede farm to the higher position carries. The idea that a supportive AP mid causes you to lack damage only comes out of games where teams would misplay the teamcomp and vastly overfarm the supportive mid, with Janna/Soraka mid having the highest CS in game.

I'm sorry if this question is out of the blue, but - How do you teach yourself to understand the game? I want to be able to look at a team composition and be able to determine the winning strategy.. I just want to increase my knowledge of the game. How do I do that? Just think? Not sure if I'm smart enough for that.


Just for reference, I talk to Yango almost everyday.
Get fucking knowledge bombed almost everyday

It's almost overwhelming...

Interesting what starts you can do come season three. We'll see what works out to be best. I'm somewhat intrigued by bottle+3 wards on a support, especially one like sona who can expect to take some harass back in many cases. Give up a bit of GP10 but hit much more often, especially since you never have to use heal unless your AD gets hit.

mana crystal + pots on Ryze. Scary thought, his early game might have actually improved a bit since he gets a mana item faster (tear).

Honestly, just watching the high level TL streams and just reading their posts whenever I pass by them has given me a lot of knowledge and understanding that I would have never known otherwise. Slayer's argument for building philo stone on Udyr was like the most gigantic knowledge bomb ever and completely changed how I played Udyr back when everyone was basically going merc+wits rush, Jatt style. Slayer was proposing a different way of building (and ultimately, playing) Udyr that was very, very uncommon at the time. Months later, basically everyone was building philo. I was able to bring up my super abysmal 20% winrate on Udyr all the way up to like 60% over the course of the season just by taking notes of the things he posted in this subforum over the months. I was so skeptical about his build but god am I glad that I took his suggestion seriously and tried it earnestly.

Smash telling me that I'm dumb whenever I said/thought something dumb has also always been helpful. Feels like the old BW forum, basically.

Honestly dude, if it wasn't for you I probably would have completely stopped playing Udyr. Udyr was my favourite champion since I first started playing and when I just couldn't make him work once I hit lvl 30 and started playing ranked games I was really let down.

im kind of concerned that bottle is going to be good on lots and lots of people rather than just 1-2 roles. We'll see. One thing i think they could do to make it extremely interesting and also more role specific is have it refill on kill/assist.

inb4 Sightstone+Bottle on all 5 players

Honestly I think Bottle and Sightstone both need to have 50% sell-back value, because otherwise they compare too aggressively to the corresponding consumables.

yeah i agree that they need to sell really badly. Even then they've increased the value of slots significantly which might limit the proliferation of these items a little, but they might be dominant, choice reducing buys. They just don't seem role specific enough.
