First impressions: A - Tough group with Curse and 3 solid teams. I'll pick Curse and Brunch Club. B - Stacked group with 3 teams that are among the better in the qualifier. EpiK and FeaR qualify C - Weak group. Dirtnap and Meat Playground the strongest on paper but haven't seen Meat playground in forever, Azingy's team could suprise D - Another weak group. MarN and the Salad Bar top 2 easy. Some pretty unbalanced groups imo, but still should see 5 strong teams qualify. Curse, Brunch, EpiK, Dirtnap, MarN in my unscientific assessment. | ||

What on earth are you talking about? Warmogs on ADC lol. The amount of sustain warmogs gives (based on %hp) is minimal at best on ADC who get no other health items. You will lose to any other adc lategame because they will lose no HP with a fully stacked BT and healing for 200hp per hit while you regen 55hp per 5seconds. | ||

Maybe Draven too... assuming I start picking him "seriously" again. Cait or an AP that can start one-shotting the wave early and efficiently I guess. Almost always get it on Graves/Ezreal, they seem to be the ones who benefit most from the 100AD tho. Usually do it on Corki too, will always go IE first on Caitlyn/Tristana tho | ||

I think you're going to lose if they have 1100 AD regardless of whether you have lifesteal or not. | ||

Obviously not exact numbers but the point still stands, they will maybe get down to 50% depending on your burst and you will just melt. You also are missing out on the single biggest AD item and will deal significantly less dmg. Mogs is for troll games and where you are like 15-0 and want to get it in place of a defensive item, you will still be getting BT. 18% on crits of 1k is about right with my rough estimate of 200hp. | ||

Idk getting it as an alternative to GA or something might be okay, but its not going to be as skewed as you seem to think it will be in the other ads favor | ||

This actually matters a lot more this season where there are a lot more ways for melee diving threats to be relevant against you. | ||

Eh you're super overrating warmogs. The hp regen does nothing at all for an AD carry, you still die the second someone touches you. Their AD will be one full item up on you. Carry with IE + PD + BT will beat IE + PD + Warmog every time. Maybe you can replace GA with it because GA kind of sucks and is overrated, but it won't replace lifesteal at all. | ||

Fights rarely end up in a situation where the 2 ADs are just dueling each other. This actually matters a lot more this season where there are a lot more ways for melee diving threats to be relevant against you. Blame that on the renovated BC, I'd see maybe getting mogs on a less mobile adc like graves, sivir, ashe, etc when you against a dive team instead of the standard GA. But then idk GA is still pretty much a godlike item if your team is in position to help you when you rez if they use everything to dive you. @arb my thoughts exactly lol. | ||

The other thing is that the change to the penetration rules means you don't need 4 offensive + 1 defensive item to actually be able to do enough damage to kill the enemy team lategame. 3 offensive + 2 defensive so long as Cleaver is in play on someone probably makes your damage comfortable enough, which means that a second defensive item actually gives you a lot more room to work with in terms of how you play fights. | ||

On Draven you get more burst with BT, more dps with IE assuming you can't catch all your axes (say during a teamfight) as you'll still proc your passive from crits. On Ashe... no discussion. On Vayne I tended to go PD first when I last tried playing her (ends in an ugly fashion generally). I don't play other ADs, it's my worst role so might as well focus on some (prob Ashe/Graves, Draven/Vayne too demanding mechanically and Sivir "unsafe" because of her range and the way Cait smashes her—actually, Graves' vulnerable too and Ashe's so passive it's easy to pick a stronger lane if I pick first. Whatever). | ||

Having 50% more hp isn't going to mean anything at all when you have no defensive stats to buffer it. You are still going to get crit for 1k from their adc regardless and will simply take 1 more hit to kill. While playing an adc you are a glass cannon that does dmg and carries teams from a good position, not a person that expects to be taking dmg and out sustaining them. | ||

The glass cannon paradigm is ingrained in peoples' heads from S1/S2. That does not by any means make it necessarily the best way to play in S3 given such a radical shift in itemization and the rules of the game (how penetration stats work). | ||

I just whole heartedly disagree with that. But yes radical shift in itemization due to penetration and the new items. | ||

I like getting it first on him just for the scaling on his Q/Ult tho. | ||

Doesn't the penetration change mean that even more damage = more amplification? I don't understand how you can think that it's okay to only deal 300 dmg per hit when you could deal 500. Just play bruiser bot if you'll build tanky. For example back when they had these same penetration rules in early 2010 the AD carry builds went bruta -> LW -> IE -> PD, concentrating on making everyone have 0 armor early. No one went tanky, that's stupid. | ||
