Yeah, i don't have any problem with Craton. Some people are just cranky and that is ok.

Debateable.

This is one of those posts where you really want your spelling to be right.

I am going to step into a pit of doom here but wasn't the point of buying HoG in the first place was to build it into randuins? Like that's generally why I bought it if I did for ages. It wasn't until the most recent nerf that in theory it was better to just grab a wardens mail over it for the first part of randuins and even then that seemed to be contested between professionals and theorycrafting elite.

Shake what do you think about Lee Sin wardhopping all day with Ruby Sightstone? Does it arouse you a little? A lot?

Wait, you still disagree? I can kinda see why they did it even if mathematically it's not "optimal" to buy hog the fact that it scales really well later on is pretty bad for the game. Sure people can say "oh you win teamfights with that extra 200 gold" that's pretty vague and hard to justify. If you have an advantage but can't snowball it because of natural defensive advantage hog is a pretty boring way to increase an advantage instead of trying to force plays like ganks buff steals or dives.

As passive as games often are in competitive play 10 minutes is a really small payoff time for an item that becomes free in 25 (when CLG eu is making their first push at 35 minutes lolol).

I don't think HoG was "OP" but I think it's kinda like the old sustain meta where soraka sona alistair taric heal spam bot lane made agression pointless and warwick/udyr/irelia/yorick top made agression pointless there. It's not on that scale but its a similar issue.

y u baiting gp10 discussion. Let's just be happy it's gone.
I was just pointing how it isn't fair to shit on those of us on TL who disliked HoG just because Riot made the decision to remove it. Riot has made awful balanced changes in the past so it's weird to treat their decision like it was the right call and that we're all idiots who were wrong >.<

I've finally started to just do my own thing because if history tells you anything, there's a retard-strong item out there that isn't used only because no one bothered to actually try it. Riot and the community don't know shit and I'm right ya feel me?

Riots atmas nerf was one of the lolsiest but I could see why they didn't like warmogs atmas combo when it WAS viable it was kinda broken.

Yeah, but it's not like the whole extra 10gold from eleisa's was game breaking....

It's 10 now. At release it was 100, which is actually pretty significant.

I mean 2 max isn't THAT much. Depends if they're changing wriggles/if there's something more viable than Wriggles (I haven't been keeping up with the changes too religiously.) I usually have Wriggles + a ward ready when I'm playing Lee, though I'm trash and sometimes forget to buy one. I'm super excited for Frost Fist Hecarim though.

Soul Shroud was a strong item, just really niche (poke comps).

I really need a duo queue buddy, if anybody is interested.

I spent over 100 games clawing my way from 950 elo to 1300 before the reset, and after my placements I am already back down to 1100. It's pretty demoralizing.

A thought: Statikk's Shiv generates charges on "moving and attacking". Does that mean it charges every time you right-click, or just whenever your champion is in motion? Either way, maybe I can finally put all that time spamming up my APM in SC to use in LoL.

Has to have some sort of buffer. Else clickbot OP.
