Basically they're saying that the best single defensive items are Warmogs, Randuins or Mercurial Scimitar, and that Guardian Angel is bad.

What do people think about this? Is Guardian Angel just a bad item now? Does anybody still want it?

Aren't you in class?


It's a class on TCP/IP. I'm doing "research" by connecting to TL.net. For "research" purposes.

Tomorrow I'll be doing Linux systems administration and teaching myself to browse the internet on Redhat, by checking TL.

I think they're being a bit too harsh on GA. Resistances scale better than health with lifesteal, which they fail to mention. Same with heals and shields from your allies. (They briefly mention Aegis as a reason to stack more health, while ignoring Locket having the reverse effect.)

Some of the values seem a little screwy. Judging by how they calculate it, everything should right itself in a few weeks, though.

Yeah, once people start doing well their cost will increase. Which I partially don't like. One of my favorite things about fantasy for traditional sports is getting a diamond in the rough for cheap and then they have a breakout season. It's not ideal but it seems to be the best option as of now.

Crs and MRN scrim starting soonish(lobby created, waiting for yoloQ games to end for individual players). Probably numerous streams up showing it from both perspectives. Dem LCS scrims.

Apparently Riot hooked up all the LCS players with every champ+almost every skin on their regular(not tourney realm) accounts; real swag.

I think they're being a bit too harsh on GA. Resistances scale better than health with lifesteal, which they fail to mention. Same with heals and shields from your allies. (They briefly mention Aegis as a reason to stack more health, while ignoring Locket having the reverse effect.)

While i think that Gustav's evaluations tend to be fairly poor in general (because they focus on DPS, which is generally a meaningless number) ignoring lifesteal works in this situation because the current meta has ADC's worried more about being burst down than being whittled down.

Basically this means that we don't really care if you get more sustained lifesteal with a GA, because you're not going to get the time for that lifesteal to ever matter. It would be possible to look at situations in which the GA was better because of the lifesteal advantage but we would likely find that given the free passive regen on Warmogs these situations are few and far inbetween.

E.G. Lets say you have 20% lifesteal and are in a fight. You've got 100 armor and MR and 2000 HP base before GA/Warmogs. With GA you have 150 armor and 130 MR, meaning that you get 25% more effective lifesteal than the dude with the warmogs.

Lets say you do 300 after armor DPS and so regain 60 hp/second. The warmogs guy gets 120 EHP/second and the GA dude gets 150 EHP/second.

GA has 5000 effective HP vs physical, warmogs has 6000 EHP vs physical. So in order for the lifesteal advantage from the GA to make it more effective than the warmogs the fight would have to last 33 seconds or more. This is assuming that warmogs provides no sustain during that time.

If you're alive for 33 seconds auto attacking in a fight it doesn't matter what defensive item you've chosen, you've won the fight.

that's due to the fact that IE got nerfed a bit and BT got buffed. The build path into a BT is also much easier than IE.

That's mainly because vamp scepter builds out of longsword now, so if you build a vamp and then try to build IE it takes goddamned forever. So if you end up building a vamp then often it's just best to finish BT.
