Wriggles is shit now. Set aside the fact that I was around for the original wriggles, (and every nerf before this one), but for the first time through all the nerfs I bought it and thought "whelp, never getting that item again."

It just doesnt give the same oomph that it used to, mostly because the lifesteal got cut to shit.

Looks like SoTD With IE and possible Crit damage runes. Regular annoying Rengar to me.

Anyone who has played long enough to see some of Phreak's old champion spotlights should know you can make anyone look good when you are against bad players (probably) with a level advantage (he seemed to have at least 2 levels in every kill), let alone the probable item advantage he had.

Dyrus did SotD Rengar like 1 day into S3, He blew people up.

SotD is pretty underused so far, surprisingly

Xin & J4 definitely not, you want wriggles for clear time, tankiness, and lifesteal.

Razors+Spirit has superior clear time (Maim+Butcher+Rend results in a greater increase in jungling speed than just upgraded Maim), comparable tankiness (5 less armor, but costs 100 less gold), and lifesteal doesn't outperform HP regen until your autoattack damage becomes quite high.

It still doesn't fix the fact; no team fighting stats, despite huge gold sink.

And this is why I hate s3 jungle. fcking machete items.

Isn't getting a razor in addition to spirit stone kinda overkill? Why not just get the spirit stone and then proceed straight to building a real damage item (presuming that you're not going to build spirit stone out any further) such as phage or brutalizer?

Wriggles clears lots faster on mentioned champions, 4second wraith camp is possible. And wriggles will stay with you and will only be replaced by your 6th item so it's perfectly fine with having no upgrade. Not to mention constant ward on the map.

Why would you go razor and Spirit stone? That just seems incredibly stupid. Comparing wriggles and the spirit stone items, not wriggles vs razor+spirit, it's obvious which is faster if you do that lol. On junglers that focus on auto attacks for dmg and clear times, it's obvious which item to get.

You're right, the practicality of Razor+Spirit is questionable.

But if Razor+Spirit is never something you'd practically buy, and it's by and large better than Wriggle's--why the hell would anyone actually ever buy Wriggle's then?

500 damage proc on 1/4 of your attacks vs. 360 damage proc on 1/4 of your attacks + 10 bonus true damage + 20% bonus to all other damage.

It works good only on some champs~; mostly champs who can use madreds alright. But champs that are spirit stone focused initially, probably can't make use of both.

Because you're discussing Wriggle's. Razor's being good does not automatically imply that you want to upgrade it to Wriggle's.

Razor's is worth it. Wriggle's almost never is anymore.

Ok then problem solved. Never get wriggles, just end at razor or sightstone.

I just got stunned by Leona's ult despite having black shield on me... even if the spell does enough damage to break the shield, the cc should be blocked, right?

It just seems like a gimmick build you can use for normals when you're fed. His Lee montage is really impressive though - I watched it a while ago.

I just had a ranked game where I took support but DC/ed in champ select. Still had my runes and masteries for Noc jungle but I randomed Eve while I was DC.

Vi went support and I took jungle and we won a really long game, and it was my first time with Eve. She's so broken right now, but her kit is a lot of fun to play. Bait the team onto you, spam Q and then ult all of them and W to run away while your team clears up whats left. I didn't even build DFG, I got sightstone into twin shadows.

Is the Eve nerf on the PBE or already live?

Is upgrading machete always worth it? For champs with good enough clear times I feel like saving 500g and just getting other items like sightstone (e.g. Mundo, Cho)

meh, no offense to shake, but Lee Sin is just one of the flashier champions in league. A lot of the awesome looking plays on lee sins are usually a matter of hitting your Q's, and going HAM; and it looks pro as fuck. Probably one of the main reasons why I love Lee Sin. Do something awesome looking; actually surprisingly easy to do.

not always. I've seen a number of ppl sit on machete and just go for other stuff. I actually need to get out of the habit of buying wriggles on every autoattack jungler. Just shows that I havn't jungled much since middle of s2 tho really, haha.

eh, idk there's some stuff that i've seen shake do that I'm certain I can't do without significant practice with lee. Sure, he has a couple of lucky q's in there for show, but you can also pretty clearly tell that his lee is a level above the norm. IMO it's fairly easy to tell the wheat from the chaff when it comes to blind monk.
