EPTThe advantage of both items is their extremely strong buildup. They both build from <500 gold parts, so you pretty much can always buy something when you go home. You never have to bank gold, so you never have gaps in power, meaning you never have to fall back into a farming tempo. If you pick the right team, it allows you to basically keep up constant pressure, and give no breathing room. If you get an early lane or teamfight advantage, you could easily just snowball a game into victory without creating any openings back into the game, because your power never plateaus while you're saving for something.

It works pretty well for chess, and chess players play significantly less games than LoL players do. So it should really have been just fine as a relative ranking system. (in response to the end of last thread) Going to have to retool some jungling paths maybe, see if a way to rush an earlier spirit stone is useful. I think the sightstone change is kind of stupid. Yeah its more expensive fuck over the support more please. I'll just buy an extra round or two of greens and stay more gold starved kthanks. You know how hard relevant warding is now with these stupid stealth mechanics and Thresh's lantern? Geez. | ||

EDIT: actually with cost nerf to BT + TF buff cost, Triforce based ADC may make a resurgence. Corki + Triforce + Black Cleaver, could be popular. | ||

Has 3 times the stats of a triforce in 1 item, passive proc does 450% of your AD, and has an active called tons of damage where it does physical damage to the enemy. (33% +3% of the enemy's max health for every triforce/super triforce in the game, 333 range). | ||

Ez will still be the safest ADC out there since people will dive ADC every team fight and Ez is the only one who can peel for himself while doing damage at he same time. Ez nerfs have been far too gratuitous imo. I think he's popular not OP'd. He's just an example of a well rounded champion who's strength comes from doing everything well, but nothing great (except from escaping). replace mallet w/ warmogs. | ||
