Brutalizer alone makes your damage output really scary early on - but delaying your phage makes you rely on red buff for ganks. BC synergizes with basically her entire kit, but you need the HP from Mallet to survive longer engagements. I think the best strategy is to go phage/bruta and then upgrade the one you need the most. Wits end is amazing - don't get hexdrinker. BT is great for your incredible AD scaling, but getting both BT and BC is overkill. Vi can use up her mana surprisingly fast - FH seems like a good answer to this. Warmogs is a great item. I'm starting to piece together a build looking like this: Machete-Wriggles?-Tabi/Mercs-Phage/Bruta-Bruta/Phage-Mallet(BC if ahead)-wits/glacial -> situational (most likely FH and Warmogs) | ||

I tried Seuss' build and while it was indeed good for dps/burst and clear speed, while relying on HP for tanking magic damage, it needs some MR once you get you belt (or finish mallet) or else you start taking quite some damage from poke and burst aimed at you (enemy team had Amumu+Ahri and I was going in first, also Leona AoE made me hit 2+ procs a fight). I went machete->tabi->phage->stinger->belt->finish randuin's, then I finished mallet because I needed the sure slow (Nidalee+Ahri biggest enemy threats, damn hard to stick to) and only then I bought MR. Should probably have finished mallet instead of randuin's, and then padded a slow with negatron or started working on wit's/aegis. She doesn't need to upgrade machete to clear fast, her W is great against big monsters and maxing E first you pretty much always have 2 to annihilate each camp's basic monsters just by hitting the big one.

(Kog has a 10-30% passive one, but that's negligible compared to the real aspd steroids that almost every AD carry has). Attack speed bonuses don't really stack as well as some other things, so if a champion is using some of their power distribution on attack speed, Bloodboil isn't worth as much to them. Varus, Caitlyn, Ashe, Corki (since it doesn't crit anymore) have arguably worse steroids. Sivir's is her ult, and the others have stronger but flat-duration ones (except for Ezreal). It's not that bad, when factored in with his range and W's magic damage. | ||

This is compared to like nunu with vayne, varus, or trist - who he is not #1 for | ||

Varus & Corki do a lot of trading with spells so they don't really need the attack speed or chasing power as much, and Ashe probably does benefit from a Nunu lane if she's not just going to die in it. | ||

Attack Speed is better for chasing/sticking to a target, and really helps get W rolling. Brutalizer/BC is good on her, but not without some Attack Speed to go with them. I get the feeling we might be skilling differently, because I haven't had significant mana problems on Vi.

Don't max E first. You get a negligible damage increase and the cooldown reduction isn't all that useful when fights tend to expand outward as they progress. I've been maxing Q first for the burst damage, chase, and escape potential, followed by W for the extra attack speed and % Health damage. And definitely get Mallet before Randuin's. It feels selfish, but you're far, far scarier with a permanent 40% slow than with a chance at a 25% slow. | ||

Sadly when Wolves play during the LCS qualifiers he's only going to be 16 so he has to sit out till he turns 17 in Febuary | ||

It feels selfish, but you're far, far scarier with a permanent 40% slow than with a chance at a 25% slow. Been using the same skill order as you (maxing Q or E first doesn't change anything to your first clear time, or close to nothing) at first, and I tended to get some CDR during my first games so once it was near maxed the ability to have a second Q during the fight helped my ganks a lot. I switched to E and trying wit's (aegis felt awkward and I didn't want to build hex so I'd prob have tried wit's at one moment or another) on Smash's advice, but I guess it depends on lanes: E first gives more burst because you'll always have your 2 charges up when you gank (unless they're getting dived and you come from wraiths/gols), while Q is definitely better to convert ganks on mobile targets. I agree that if you don't gain from the added burst a aaEaaE provides you're better off maxing Q>W>E though. The cdr on Q makes it too important not to be maxed early, and E's reduced cdr isn't useful in the midgame compared to W's scaling. | ||

Ult Q auto is 3 stacks of W giving you AS followed by e auto e stacking it again proccing W twice. One shots squishies and applies BC in aoe with Ult charge Q if it hits more than one person and double E. She has huge damage with this combo and I have had 0 trouble top. I usually start flask Ward 2 pots Max q and since E scales better with AD Max W second. Brutalizer boots cleaver thirster GA LW Mogs or Mallet. Unstoppable top | ||

IDK why Riot has "ungutted" Rengar. He was at a ridiculous level, and then was nerfed to ~ Kennen level, which is a bit low but not bad. And considering he still has so many potentially toxic features that its better to let him languish a while to see if he really was that weak. | ||

I'm guessing that's what you're supposed to do every game vs a shaco. Popped boxes really hurt Shaco's early jungle since he has no damage until he gets some items. | ||
