Well you could always throw in a wriggles. But yeah the sightstones use the Unique "Ward Refresh" & "Ghost Ward" so they won't stack, different sightstone or otherwise.

Every time someone mentions Mercurial Scimitar, they bring up "It gives a move speed bonus" as if that's the reason to get it. The reason to get it is that you want to stuff more stats into the item slot that is currently holding your QSS.

I just realized how much I'm going to hate playing for at least the new few weeks.. Nocturne is so annoying. Sometimes I'd rather face Lee, at least you can call his ganks absurd, Noct's are "working as intended" or whatever.

From what I saw Statikk has the same problem as ionic spark: not enough range to reach the backline. Tiamat works better in that regard.

I think the stats on Statikk are a lot better than Tiamat though. Comparing to PD, you trade 10% crit percentage, 10% attack speed and ignoring unit collision for insignificant movespeed and the lightning attack.

I can definitely see it being useful on Vayne... BF/SotD/BT/Statikk. It definitely depends on how the game is going though, if you don't need waveclear it would be better to go PD.

I'd probably not get it on Sivir or Ashe.

I think it was a failed attempt to make it more appealing for melee ADCs.

To be fair, at one point on the PBE the MS buff from mercurial was not restricted to melee only and 100%. It's possible they were remembering that.

Yeah the MS doesn't matter at all.

here is why it's good:
QSS is a baller item
wuzzat, QSS can now also give you 50 AD and be even better?
Gee, I'm fine with that.

just finish it when your slots are full, end of discussion.

Twin Shadows. Worth building on any standard APs?
I can't see myself ever getting it over HG or Abyssal in terms of early-midgame AP, and lategame it's not worth it.

I can see the merit of scouting the jungler, but I'd much rather ward, tbh.
I don't really like the idea, but I might try it.
When I'm done with trying the 100000 other builds I need to try right now T.T

Those ghosts go so fucking far to find a target. Smash used them and they went from almost exactly the middle of middle lane to the wraith bush to find a fiddle.

Sightstone is just good on anyone.

It might be prohibitive early game, but as I said before, there's literally no reason to carry wards instead of Sightstone as your 6th item because you're going to be saving for finished items at that point rather than buying components.

I only see Viktor having trouble since he's already cramped on slots, actually.

As for AD carries items...
What do we have with crit? IE, Statikk Shiv, PD?
With AD? Zephyr, BT, IE, Scimitar?
With AS? Statikk Shiv, PD, Zephyr, SotD.

So if you build IE, Shiv and PD seem like the best choices for a follow-up item. SotD doesn't really synergize with it apart from IE's passive, and once SotD is down you suffer a big damage letdown.

BT+SotD seems like the best choice for champs that want burst and have AD ratios. SotD goes better on champs like Vayne, Draven, Varus, because they benefit of the AS in one way or another (Vayne has AD steroids, Varus or Twitch's on-hit...) or some stuff (Draven Q auto into SotD stacks his passive 4 times, at level 10 that's an additional 280 damage).

Zephyr could be interesting for champs benefiting a lot from their active abilities (I guess poke champs, Varus so he can proc blight more easily, etc.) or that lack escapes, since it allows them to get zerkers and still have tenacity. But with only 20 AD Zephyr is mainly an AS/MS item (pretty high priced at that) and you already buy it to get more MS from keeping zerkers anyway... so I dunno. It doesn't have crit% so it doesn't mesh well with IE, it lacks AD so it doesn't go well with SotD...
It's a bit of a bastardized item. It'd rather go with BT/Scimitar I guess, to mesh some AD with its AS, the lifesteal from BT helps survival in those situations where you actually need the tenacity. Stacking zephyr and Scimitar sounds like overkill though.
I really don't know where to fit it, except when you're behind I guess and need some survivability.

AD ratios, on-hit effects that help bursting people down? BT/SotD.
Good on-hit effects over time, especially on-hit that enhance your dps without relying on AD? BT or IE /Hurricane.
Relying on autoattacks mainly, and being able to kite or attack safely without too much interruption? IE/PD.

Seems like the core are going to be something like that.
So Draven/Graves/Varus/Vayne/Twitch/Sivir/Corki/Ezreal would want BT/SotD.
Caitlyn/Varus/Twitch/Ashe would want Hurricane.
Ashe/Tristana/Caitlyn/Varus go somewhat better with IE/PD than the rest (or Twitch during his ult).

And there are still the triforce alternatives I guess. Doesn't go well with SotD (unless you want to proc your phage at all costs x) ), I guess Hurricane could be 0K (for the phage proc only since sheen would only affect the main target), and still compatible with IE and BT.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

That's why I said SotD is exceptionaly good for Twitch, Since he does AoE dmg, so even the short burst you get with IE+SotD early on. Any team fight in midgame, or late midgame, are going to be easy wins for Twitch. That's so much damage.
