The other team has to do the same anyway and if they dont, you get your way. The amount of lost gold/XP from swapping cross-map at level 1 is enough for the enemy to solidify an advantage, even if the "normal" lane arrangement would otherwise be disadvantaged for them. If you run into a lane swap, and counter-swap immediately, your duo comes to lane level 1 when theirs is level 2 (and likewise with your top solo). Even if the lane is normally advantageous for you, it's rarely so advantaged that it outweighs a full level advantage. So lane swaps get preserved because the cost of counter-swapping after creeps have already met is higher than the loss from preserving the swapped lanes. You'd rather let both sides freefarm thier AD carries and have a more underfarmed top laner than to swap back and lose both lanes because of the level advantage. | ||

This is why purple side and blue side tend to shove the turret ASAP. It gives purple side an advantageous time to back while leaving their top laner with an easier lane. Similarly blue wants to give purple side as much of a disadvantage when they come to lane. This of course beyond the global gold/xp advantage that turrets bring. Edit: Jesus Christ autocorrect what the fuck were you thinking | ||

I've got akali and kat, but neither have really clicked with me yet... I'm trying to decide who my next buy should be: diana, kha'zix, or someone else... thoughts? I just picked up Diana. So much fun dude! | ||

The only real issue it has is whether or not it is better than dfg or deathcap. I mean its another .75 ap scaling ability. It only costs 3000 gold now and does magic damage so you don't have to worry about the old split resistance issue. The only weakness(besides its potential comparison to rabadons and dfg) it has is the usefulness of the sheen proc before its finished | ||

The most important part in my opinion is it stacks with her passive. 700+ damage autos from an AP carry is fun. Also makes you a beast on objectives. Also with her Q>R, moonlight lasts long enough to Q, get the proc, wait for the c/d and then ult and get another proc before moonlight expires. After that your Q will be off cooldown before the next proc. You can get infinite procs back to back to back on things liek drag and baron. It's a personal thing of mine, but Diana has always bee my favorite and I have like a 60% win rate with her (yes, low elo). | ||

The damage should be around a normal hit, potentially a little higher. However, the animation is slower, it feels like i could do 2 autos with w up while one Q is cast. Ideas? use it inbetween shots since it's an attack reset. when w is down. if you can, go shot-q-w-autos | ||

All the ap champs who spam autoattack + abilities on their opponents should consider this as a must buy if they want damage. Even on champs like akali who have good ap ratios you can't buy anything that deals more damage than sheen. | ||

The change helped lich bane's late game a lot but the change to magic damage and the reduction in price weren't entirely free of cost to the item's power. edit: LOCO FIGHTING http://solomid.net/livestream.php?s=5194 (najin shield vs iG) It's over now, and sad. =( | ||

The worst thing that can happen is that nobody answers. Although 90% of the stuff that is posted is only partially game related (and some not at all), people will usually do a lot to help if you have some specific questions. At least in my experience. | ||
