Think someone was saying earlier, AP quints are better unless youre playing something like malphite in which case youre relying on high base damage instead of raw ap so the magic pen is better?

personally i just run movespeed on everyone but yeah.

So long as you can reach whatever AP level allows you clear creep waves without the AP Quints MPen is generally better.

Edit: Maybe "no question" was a bit strong. I need to do some math to figure out a more refined answer.

High scaling = AP is better
Low scaling = MPEN is better

I am not sure about the cutoff though. I should probably do some math on this... Brand and Lux enjoyed flat mpen since S2 and I don't see them changing now.

EDIT: and what Seuss said too. Being able to one-shot minions is kind of important...

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I'm impressed that you got the name Irelia straight up.

Just like the previous poster said there are a lot of champion names available.

Makes sense on a SC2 forum. Just being an internet denizen I'm always surprised when even the real people get their straight up names.

Since you are obvs real Irelia. And can I say I'm a big fan.

So apparently Muramana on Ryze is godly. Has anyone tried it so far? Is it really worth getting over archangels? I can't wait to get home and try it out!

It's known, Ryze's a beast.

Jungled Vi, managed to do it with 0-9-21 masteries and a flask+machete start, even though I had to back after level 4 (road to double buff + wraiths, no gols).
ohmygodohmygodohmygodshe'sSOOOOOOOOOfun
I can jump everywheeeeeeeeeeeeeerre! Went QWEQ R>Q>W>E because I'm dumb and didn't get W at level 1, the clear speed is 0K, and having a low cooldown on Q changes stuff so much. Even if Q was her worst ability you'd still have to max it first just because of the cooldown reduction, having 2-3 Qs per fight (had an Elise mid who didn't want the blue buffs and 6% cdr from masteries, bought locket later, had a cd around 6-7s) helps you so much, repositioning, reaching the other side of the fight once your target is down, interrupting (Katarina in the enemy team)... and it's a pretty fun dash skill (Sej's can be kinda frustrating I personnally feel because of its slow traveling speed notably).

W isn't always obvious to see when it procs (even when jungling, the sound effect is pretty quiet), but as long as you do your stuff calmly, you'll have it up for the most part of the fights, which helps regarding AS.
E is really fun with the "pass-through" damage, I picked up several kills during ganks and fights by repositioning and using it on another target (often a minion) to get the AoE damage on the runner.

I built wriggles+bulwark because I was kinda fed (loads of assists) (swifties because mercs aren't worth it against Nautilus + another Vi + Ashe), but even then I felt rather squishy, even at 176 armor and 2300 HP after locket. The fact that they had 2 BCs on their team probably played a role... my damage dropped a lot against anything non-squishy (when doing nashor and dragon I felt that my damage output was pretty nigh) from the lack of damage items, but on the other hand Bulwark is like the trademark of defensive items now, so I'm not sure what to build instead to retain some tankiness while having damage. Randuin's probably a great pick on her, since she has gap-closers but few ways of sticking once Q is on cooldown, and her ult really puts her in the thick of things.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

So I've done a cursory look, and the math is rough. I don't have a general equation yet for finding breakeven points but in general:
  • Ratios actually have a very limited effect except at low values of AP. The more AP you have outside of Quints, the better MPen is.
  • The more MR your target has, the better off AP is.
  • High Base Damage still favors MPen (for obvious reasons).


As an example, a level 18 Malzahar's breakeven point against against a 100 MR target (ignoring his W) is -19 AP. However, a level 9 Malzahar's breakeven point against that same target would be ~147 AP because he hasn't yet had the opportunity to up his base damages.

So the logical conclusion is that AP will be better whenever you're using all of your abilities in the early stages of the game, but MPen will be better for poking with your primary ability and in the later stages.
