Part of the reason for passivity was due to the overwhelming prevalence of vision. Teams adjusted to that by picking strong gankers for more jungle presence and/or picking up very early oracles. Now Riot compounds an existing problem by nerfing oracles, making wards even easier to get on top of making jungle even hard to clear? It doesn't make any sense to me. Basically: Jungler always farm, never gank = passive play Jungler ganks all the time = laners play safe in fear = passive play On December 05 2012 04:11 greggy wrote: So what do you think an ad will buy as his starting items? boots seem a bit redundant and can be skipped. flask + pots seems a bit superfluous. this leaves doran's I guess but then no regen :/ Go deep utility so you can start flask+cloth.

Guides are simply a type of compiled information, the information doesn't have to originate from you. | ||

Boots can still be ok, if you want quicker Zerker's (especially with Furor being awesome for ADs). DBlade isn't bad and will probably be pretty good for people who want to low level skirmish. | ||

Been trying out wriggles builds again, going armor 5 pot, and then into vamp -> wriggles. If you get ahead you can just pass up the wriggles and go for a BT. Since AD tree is nerfed, seems better to go for 9/21, and adjust from how the lane is going. Sunder basically neutralizes hardiness, but unyielding and block are 5 damage reduced, ontop of the 15 armor you get from the start. Brute force, havoc and executioner don't pass through your armor at level 1-3. So far it's worked out well enough for me. :D Idea is to force trades, and your armor and superior sustain will win you the lane. | ||

Forgot long sword builds into vamp now, I guess this is the way to go. I guess the added damage will offset the loss in ad from runes. Oh and the wards/oracle changes are, imho, completely retarded. At low elo, there's exactly one reason to buy oracle now, and that's when you want to do baron. At any other point, you'll maybe clear 2 or 3 wards if you're lucky and know exactly where they are (so baron, dragon and lane entrances + wraiths, where most of these won't actually be warded) and that's the end of that. Meanwhile, at pro level infinite spammable wards + sightstone (read: more spammable wards + stats) provide nearly perfect information at every point in time. I don't really see how these changes benefit any level of the game. I also think that I'll be going at least 16 in utility on every hero (except manaless ones) in every lane (except mid which I don't play). Defensive top end doesn't seem all that attractive, while all that gold and ms is just too good to pass up. Doran's blade passives weren't unique at any point. | ||

I win games by forcefeeding kills down my ADC's throat in botlane and hoping to god that the team doesn't start to rage. But in all reality, I do play some champions at a higher level than the current elo I'm at. Gragas is one of those (except when facing Csheep's karthus T_T), Xin is not. | ||

In fact it might even make you a better player. Instead of rationalizing to yourself that "Champion X beats Champion Y just because" you will know exactly why that is and what can be done to counter every step of the way and you would probably be able to pull the reverse off as well. That actually sounds really interesting. I want to give it a try now. | ||

Which is the perfect time to gank, because people havent' warded yet! Unless you're the asshat in lane that starts bottle + wards. In which case I hope the guy that started Doran Ring dumps all over you. | ||
