In all honesty the problem with randuin's is

A. HoG gone. So there's that incentive gone
B. Warden's mail change. Before against certain lanes top(riven, panth for example), you could rush that thing and literally sit in lane all day and farm. Now it's a pretty bad laning item mostly because the hp5 is gone.
C. Funfire gives much the same stats, but lets you push&out trade on a lot of tops. It's not that much, but the sunfire damage does add up in trades. Randuin's is worth more later once the ADC has 3-5 items so you can delay it.

Whether or not it's good doesn't stop us from trying to find an optimal build!

More seriously, it's inspired me to consider dusting off Tryndamere. Given that starting boots isn't as critical as before you could start Amp Tome + AP Runes, heal for 107 Health every 11.52 seconds, do 51 extra damage with E, and generally be an immovable object in Lane. Assuming you simply sell back the Amp Tome later (a 130g loss) it takes less than 4 minutes for it to pay its worth in potions, not counting the extra damage in trades.

That might sound like you're investing a lot in laning, but then what other champion can get 47+ Hp5 through their starting setup?

Ugh. Few things make me sadder than the fact that the untimely removal of HoG from the game means it will forever remain in the minds of so many as being a good item.

For a full AP build I wouldn't rush SV unless you were against an opponent with high magic damage, the 20% bonus healing isn't better than AP until you have a significant chunk of AP, and you get most of the CDR from the Kindlegem. Otherwise that build makes more sense to me than rushing Morello's.




I just finish the Kindle and build to SV well after DCap unless I'm up against a lot of AP.

Double IP weekend seems to bring out quite a few trolls. Normally get about 1 toll per 20 games or so, had 7 of my 10 games today with trolls. Skarner lock when we have a jungle, roaming AD Jungle Sona (I was the jungle T_T), straight feeding and more.

Still managed to only lose 8 elo overall today, so did best with what I had. However I raged at a couple of the trolls in my games, pretty disappointed in myself, normally am very positive but lost it at about game 5-6. Need to work on that

I think we've all known Nidalee is a bullshit champion since forever.

Such a frustrating champion to play against.

Nidalee is just a bitch to lane against, Kassa can be shut down early (you need ganks pre 6).
Imo very underrated champions are Sejuani, Trundle and Volibear.
I love playing me some Voli now with all these Olafs running around my top lane :D

So I have been playing Vi in the jungle a lot lately. She is really fun. I love the Q both for chasing and escaping. Fully charged q + flash lets you basically get out of anything, so as long as you don't get stuned. The ult is fairly insane both as hard initiation as well as running targets down that try to escape.
My problem with her is mainly the first clear as well as itemization. I usually start blue, but I also tried red and both somewhat work although i get way too low for my comfort. My skills are usually q->w->e but priority is r>q>e>w. I feel the early point in w helps with the clear.
Items go: Machete+5 -> madreds -> boots1 -> phage -> boots2 -> Frozen Mallet -> Maw -> Warmogs
I usually don't get further than that. Any suggestions on how to improve? I'm not sure the item build is optimal and I would like to get some ideas for later items and whether or not Maw is a good idea. I feel it really helps when dashing in because the shield from Maw + your own shield makes you a lot more tankier when engaging.
Any suggestions or ideas?
