I'm sort of surprised at how high ahri is O__O. Sitting right behind leblanc in terms of burst... Wow.

Makes sense why DFG first seems so damn strong on her.

Also, lol @TF, lowest burst in the midlane since W does almost no base damage if you pick a gold...


I have no idea how this is calculated, but it seems to me that every single ability is only allowed to be casted once (look at the Karthus burst).


It's however much burst/damage you can unload at once OR for any sutained damage, damage that can be dealt while the enemy is under a CC such as malz ultimate.

He only counted a second for Swain, despite Nevermove being 2s... anyway the premise is dumb because Nevermove not being instant means they can flash right before you cast it anyway. He works thinking that you cast W, and if it hits you get 1s from QER (yeah, projectile speed becomes infinite) then they flash out of the 2s cc.
Also 1.75s stun on Annie magically becomes 1s.

I thought he was calculating 1s on his E too, which isnt removed if they flash, didnt make alot of sense in the logic he was using tbh

I was more or less maxing E first (stopped at 3 pts for Q max), seemed good. Shit tons of sustain. Game I played I had 61% spellvamp and 30%~ life steal, got caught by a teemo when I was like 30% health (late game), killed him and walked away at about 80% life. Think a guise might be better than a hextech gunblade 2nd. Idk, going to try it out however a bunch ^^!

You should be able to embed the Lux laugh on this page. Kinda like this except with sound.

I know her ganks are weak till lvl 6, but so are a lot of junglers atm and it seems fine.

Any thoughts? I have never even played akali before this, but I like using weird and different stuff, so I know for example Diana or Zed might be better, but want to try something different and have fun with it.

I literally just updated my guide today, published a video, and posted about it on my blog.

A few important pointers:
  • Wriggle's is terrible on Akali.
  • Maxing E first is worthless the moment you leave the jungle.
  • Full AD is utter nonsense.
  • Spell Vamp Quints are bliss. Get them if you can (otherwise Diamond's Runes are fine, just not as safe).


Also, when your team has 2+ tanky champions there's no need to build tanky. Just go Gunblade -> DFG -> Lich Bane, be a little patient about how you enter fights, and shock yourself giddy when the enemy carries disappear in a puff of smoke.

Sick, thank you for the advice!

Edit: What about 0/9/21 masteries? It's like free boots, 5% exp gain, and another 3%/3% spell vamp and life steal? Seems worth it.

I could code something for Neo to use that would embed automatically playing sound files. So like you'd go onto a page. And everything would seem fine. But then after 10 seconds suddenly Nocturne Ults you. Or a shrill Lux laugh fills your earphones.

But that would be mean.

Wouldn't it?

Anyone knows if MagicPen Quints are better in some cases in season 3? I'm playing my lux with mobility boots and thought about getting them. Did anyone do the math on it?

Interesting : if you have 2k mana, muramana gives you 60AD, which costs exactly 2100 gold, the price of the object. Basically, you're not paying for the mana, the mana regen, and the passive.

Really cost efficient item, too bad it's so slot-uneffective.

What about the new spirit stone spell vamp item? I was trying to think of champions that could use it other than the obvious fiddle...other than akali, the only other one I could think of that could use it would be rumble...(rumble in the jungle)

Yeah that's odd. Maybe in a couple hours next rotation will come out but there's no preview on LoL website.

Large sale coming in January and gifting feature too imba apparently.
