Range is the primary thing I feel, they both have good scaling atkspeed too, so it adds up. Also kog just has so much raw damage potential. But Cait it's for her range for sure. It's also excellent for vayne to allow her to micro well, kite, and apply W.

Elise has some ridiculous early all ins, it can be really tricky to survive until vlad can get to the infinite sustain position.

I think he's talking about the "current common duo lanes" part, which features stuff like Ezreal-Sona but no MF-x. He shouldn't have said "totally" but his point is still fair I think.

i mena mf might be seen as the strongest but shes by far not picked more than someone like ez or even picked more than cait or graves, also, there isnt some classic mf lane (other than mf taric, which is a bit outdated), its just "mf + x"when mf+x is already covered in the ad section of the guide.


however, do you guys think the image is too big ? i was looking at the old imaeg: http://i.imgur.com/boqQE.jpg and i think its a bit silly how you can see almost all the picks on 1 line while for this it is like doubled in size

I think he's referring to the common lane setup section.

Just played a bunch of Jungle Vi games.

I've settled on Machete -> Tabi -> Stinger -> Phage -> Mallet -> Whatever. With Q maxed first only champions like Kassadin and Katarina have a prayer of escaping the slows, and doing 6-10%+ maximum health in physical damage to a target whose armor you automatically shred is nuts. You can easily go to golems instead of back to wolves before Red with or without a leash.

She feels really good after all those bug fixes and quality of life changes. Highly recommend trying her out.

No MR?
I tend to go machete->boots+phage->wit's + mercs (double NMM if they have magic damage), then generally belt into randuin's or mallet.

I dislike BC on her (too much gold dumped into damage) and hexdrinker (too slot-inefficient later on, especially for somebody who won't upgrade machete) so I tend to try and complete wit's before mercs. I end up a bit slow at some window but I don't know how much my inability to hit a Q plays into that.
Locket's combination of HP+CDR+the active is definitely nice on her but if I go something like locket+phage I'll be pretty low on armor and randuin's kinda awkward build path (need 1100 or you sit on a cloth armor) makes me dislike my early midgame with that. Maybe just build locket+phage+tabis and then work on MR.


The funny thing about Armor/MR is that early on Health is equivalent or better. Let me demonstrate with math.

At level 11 Vi with Phage has 1575 Health and 43.75 MR. The 20-40 MR from Wit's End adds 315-630 effective Health (Equation: (1+MR/100)*Health). The 500 Health from a Giant's Belt adds 718.75 effective Health. So for 50g more the Phage + Stinger + Giant's Belt build actually has better survivability against magic damage than the Phage + Wit's End build, even if you assume you'll always have Wit's End stacked.

So I don't feel particularly weak early without MR, and by aiming for Tabi over Merc's I don't have any sustain issues in the jungle (double damage reductions OP). You get to the "Whatever" part of my build fast enough to start choosing items based on what the largest threats are looking to be. Stinger can eventually be upgraded to Zephyr when/if Tenacity or Movement Speed becomes important, but there's no rush.

If you're worried about the team, you could always delay Mallet and invest toward Locket/Aegis instead. I just really like the stronger, guaranteed permaslow.

Hm... didn't think about it enough I guess. And since her passive gives her a shield based on %maxHP its EHP scales equally from HP and MR, is it it (iirc that what I've been told regarding Maokai's passive's effect on his itemization)?
I simply liked wit's a lot because of the AS (I like Vi as a brawler, "I'll wear you down in the end" style so I favor tankiness and AS over AD/ArPen) but had trouble fitting both it and Phage (she really needs something to stick until her Q gets down to a lower cd) and mercs then getting to bigger items.
+ Show Spoiler +
The initial 2-3k gold from the jungle are easy to obtain but past that some lanes start winning more and roaming, requiring more wards and presence from the jungler, so I can't perma farm as well and if I have to help the lanes being roamed to it impacts my ability to cover/tax too. It's a recurrent motif in my jungling but I wonder if it doesn't have more to do with my style/lack of skill rather than natural game flow.

I didn't think of stinger/zephyr as a wait to get cheap AS and later tenacity, but since Vi likes AS as much (if not better) than AD, and CDR a lot it makes a lot of sense. I'm gonna try that.

I often feel a bit weak in longer fights without lifesteal too (or even against poke, since her passive requires her to hit something to proc). Wriggles' way to slot-inefficient though (and not cost-efficient enough), though, and BT is out of the question. BotrK seems good on her (scales best with AS and ArPen, Vi itemizes AS and gets AS and Armour Reduction from W, and the active gives her another way to stick) but you'd get it pretty late. Zeke gives lifesteal and CDR on top of being a team item, but it's pretty weak damage-wise early on for its cost, and the lifesteal is weak too (only 10%). Hydra could be a very good item on her (if I get it right her E would proc it, so auto->E->hydra active would give her a load of AoE) but it's pretty expensive and tiamat has no lifesteal either.
Any ideas, or do you just do without it (mallet+randuin's if a fuckton of health to go through before they wear you down anyway).


I just ignore Life Steal. Between Tabi and her passive, jungle sustain is simply not an issue. If I was super ridiculously fed I'd probably aim for Hydra because it's so good (Health Regeneration be damned), but under normal circumstances there just isn't a place for it to fit into the build.

The new image is way more readable. The smaller, compact format of the first image might be more efficient for someone who is used to it, but for educating the masses the new image is far superior.

You might wanna try just putting the 3 sections side-by-side instead of top-to-bottom, seeing as most monitors are wider than they are tall and it would have to zoom out much less to see the whole thing

love the guide <3

I dislike how you have the "How to read" and "Using the Guide" sections up top and they all tell you to refer to the supports section as well. However, it's such a pain in the ass to scroll down from the ADs up top down to the supports below. I liked the previous layout and it was just easier to read without having to scroll too much, really useful for if you don't have much time to spend looking this stuff up in queue.

But you can scroll top-to-bottom, sideways is harder. I guess that was the idea.

Btw Seuss, which masteries on Vi? Been trying 9-21-0, but 9-12-9 prob works too for buff duration. I don't see the point in 21-9 or 21-0-9 since I aim at soaking damage.
(I'm currently testing switching from starting gold to awareness with the 0-9-21 masteries for utility junglers like Amumu and Naut.)

I went 21/9/0 actually for maximum beatdowns/clear speed, but I wasn't really concerned with optimal runes/masteries at the time. 9/21/0 is probably better.
