If you desperately needed MRES as a tank pre-patch you'd wouldn't rush FoN anyway. At most you'd get two negatrons and then build HP/armor items afterward until you were forced to complete FoN some point after Abyssal.

If you want to stack mres now you can do exactly the the same thing except turn your negatrons/NMMs into SV and Bulwark too. Both of those give HP *and* mres (which are more effective than mres alone). But stacking mres questionable post-patch anyway with all these burst ADs running around blowing everything up and the penetration changes.


The problem is 1/2 the time you don't have slots for more than a negatron. And you quite possibly already have HP from other items (maybe a warmog's/frozen mallet). The point is that there is no one single item that can bring your magic res up easily like you can with armour (thornmail, randuin's and frozen heart). Three high armour items vs zero high magic res items.

FoN was a pretty shitty item anyways. BV would be better against a fed AP imo.

ezpz making comeback into LoL at worst patch in entire history of league

Black Cleaver aside, I'd actually rate this patch on the whole as better than the initial S2 jungle remake patch.


I agree, I really like this patch. Made a lot of unplayable champions a lot better, reduced the pressure for jungle to make big plays, new items are refreshing and add new strategies.

Hell, the new item store is almost good now that I know how to navigate it. I just wish I could double click and still buy items.



biggest problem:
pre patch - buy 3 potions, 6 clicks.
post patch - buy 3 potions, 35 clicks.

Honestly, once I get to the point where I know WHAT to buy, I'm just going to put everything I'd buy on each champ into custom recommended items and never have to actually navigate the shop again--since the shop now supports more than 6 recommended items.


I said the same thing to myself in dota 2 but I have never actually done it yet

This is more blown out of proportion than WoW general forums. Seriously, never seen this kind of whining in any TL thread before.

I main AP mid, and I've had much success with Zyra, Oriana, Kat, and Ahri. Bruisers are ouchy now with BC, but it doesn't mean they can't be CC'd or blown the fuck up. Jungle Diana still good too.

One of the best things about playing AP now is that almost all bruisers are building very damage heavy (everyone's building like Kha'zix), so CC heavy AOE AP comps can just instawin teamfights. Played a game with AP Kennan top, Zyra mid, and Jungle Fiddle and we just melted them every teamfight. That was Leona/Talon bot lane (also AoE and CC).

Jungle Diana is freaking amazing. I got to play her last night and her clear time+gank potential is hilarious. I don't know what to build on her half the time but man if you can get the gold you can do some serious work, I almost won a 5v4 with her.

I too have problems with 5v4s. Man how do you beat people who are overleveled?

Jungle Darius is also one of those junglers that just dominates because he's op, but is somewhat underplayed. Bad sustain too.

DFG only provides AP and CDR, it doesn't provide outright flat pen, or health. It also builds from NLR so that's a large step up. It's not really comparable to BC. If you made it also built out of a ruby crystal without increasing the price, then sure.

Additionally, I'm not one of those math nuts but if you're increasing your damage by X%, instead of reducing their mitigation by X%, I think you're getting less out of it. If DFG just shredded enemy Mres then it would be very comparable.

So instead of hating on the Black Cleaver, I want to embrace it. After reading this article (http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/emeraldw/22623-muramana-syndra-my-potential-is-limitless) I have been theory crafting a build to make it work. I think I've found a build crazy enough to work, so here is my first idea of a way to try it.

Hybrid Reds. HP regen Yellows. Flat CDR Blues. Hybrid Quints. Your masteries are 21-0-9, get 1 point in Ghost, 4 points in cdr, 8% armour and magic penetration. +3 AD, +6 Armour pen, and Executioner. For the utility, get 1 point in flash, 3 in mana regen, 3 in more mana, 1 in summoner cdr, and longer buff durations.

This set up gives us 8% + 20 armour penetration (this is enough for pretty much true damage from your right clicks vs. a squishy burst caster early game up until lvl 4 or so unless they run armour runes), 8% + 8.52 Magic Penetration (this is going to help your spells). ~10% cdr, Good HP sustain for early trading.

Now the Core Items are Manamune, Black Cleaver with Nashor's Tooth. Black Cleaver and Nashor's Tooth + runes and masteries = ~40% CDR. The 40% CDR will help you turn your Manamune into a Muramana asap. The bonus attackspeed will help you get your black cleaver stacks up. Now you become a self peeling / aoe stunning, sustained dps with an incredible bursty assassination move.

5th Item can be Void Staff for raw magic pen, or a malady for more attackspeed and magic pen. You're probably going to want to get zerker's because of how painfully low your auto attackspeed per level is.

Been trying out Zed all day, not sure if legitimately good or Black Cleaver.
Any opinions? Been going this super weird build of Longsword+2 into Bruta into boots, into Ruby into Vamp into BT into BC into Mercs with Furor. I figured he likes the Bruta but doesn't get THAT much from the BC passive as most his combo goes off without him really autoattacking, hence delaying it for the BT. It's a weird buildup and I'm not sure how well it works in ranked instead of normals, but so far, I'm really loving the champ.
currently rooting for myself.

Any physical damage stacks the BC passive, not just autoattacks. That type of buildup seems like it'll become more common after the announced BC nerf.

I've heard a lot of people mention that BC is already in the works to get nerfed, can someone please link the source of this? Sorry if was already posted earlier.

On the PBE patch notes for 12/8:

Item Changes

The Black Cleaver
Now gives +10 armor pen (down from 15)
now reduces an enemy champion's armor by 6.25% per stack
The Brutalizer
Now gives +10 armor pen (down from 15)

I honestly don't think it's going to be enough/nerfing the right part of cleaver. Worth noting though, that brutalizer is the only pen item that didn't get its pen dropped with the S3 changes. Thing is, even with nostacking cleaver + nerf, cleaver+LW is st ill going to reduce 200 armor to 67 (this assumes 8% arpen from masteries, but not 5 flat Arpen sunder.) Don't really think cleaver should have percent reduction - flat would be better because it enables AD casters to nuke squishies (much like AP casters) but still require last whisper to hurt armor-stackers significantly, rather than having two huge sources of (new and improved) %-based armor pen/reduction.
