I hope Neo is actually using some secret arcane of sarcasm.
And yeah, it's not that Randuin's is broken, because it's still expensive with a somewhat harsh build-up, either in money or in slots (yeah cloth is a lot less than warden's but it's meh for a whole slot), just that it's slot-efficient. And it's far from enough to combat a BotRK really. Because you dump more gold in defense than they did in offense, while their sustain and the active give them a form of defense too, and they're still super strong if you fight them. Plus you can't kill anyone with that.
(Of course compared to the sheeps stacking warmogs it's a godlike item.)

Speaking of slot-efficiency, fuck Liandry's. Guise is already good as is, why should its dead-end item be that good? You don't even make timing choice anymore, since if you get Liandry's and somebody on your team get BotRK, the defensive itemisation requires both resistances rather than HP and they're way more expensive.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

So ahead of the curve...

RO was so obvious that game though. Not only did they have an AD carry doing autoattack damage and a jungler doing autoattack damage and a top (iirc) doing autoattack damage, but their AP mid (kayle) was also an autoattacker.

Then of course, you also have to ask the question--what's the purpose of a hybrid kit if you're going to design hybrid items especially for them? Presumably the reason hybrid champions exist is to explore the itemization dichotomy between AP and AD items, but when you design hybrid items specifically for those champs, it no longer becomes sensible to explore that dichotomy when they're "supposed" to be buying the hybrid items. Instead of having branching itemization options based on AD/AP variants, you have a linear build path along the hybrid items, so its more of the same again.

Hybrid kits had a place back before AD scaling, where you combined a bit of the burst of an AP caster with a bit of the sustained damage of an AD.

Now? No reason for them to exist since everyone and their mother has an AD ratio on their skills.


Well, the fact is you probably need at least 1 hybrid item for a hybrid champ to be viable. It would put them in the situation that AD carries mostly are in where you need 1 AD + 1 AS item to be relevant (which is why BOTRK is good for them because it gives both, in decent amounts, basically BOTRK is to AD carries what Nashors is to Kayle). Just imagine, for instance, if Akali needed to get BT + a Needlessly large rod item to have relevant damage, or Kayle needed Liandrys + Zephyr. Essentially they would have the power curve of an AD Carry, but you don't want to have two characters like that (that is why no one played old Nasus and is why even though some AD Carries are situationally very strong Solomid they are not common there either)

Hybrid kits I think would be easier to design if an item or two were added to help out hybrid itemization. In terms of scaling, IIRC only like skarner jax, and kayle (nidalee?) have kits that support using gunblade as a damage item(poppy/akali it's used primarily for the huge amount of spellvamp. The other hybrid items are rageblade, and nashor's(debateable), both of which benefit autoattackers primarily.

I think the problem with making a hybrid kit is that with the current itemization, you'll basically build gunblade, and then you're stuck with itemization which forces you to go one of two build paths, in addition to forcing an autoattack based kit if you want to take full advantage of dual scaling.


Also, Trinity Force could be an option for some. The thing about hybrid kits is like I said above, you want to be able to be fairly strong early, so Gunblade>Tanky is exactly what they want to try and do.

Guise and Brut should have been left as they were S2.

Also, I just realized that BOTRK is alot like the old black cleaver.

i've been building randuins a lot in 3v3.

i also play really dumb heroes in 3v3 like nami and soraka, and randuins is usually my 2nd or 3rd item.

I've seen / played in a lot of games that have 2 ADC's in them now, one mid one bot.

Oh how things change.

SK built 5 Randuins against EG in Week 1 of EU LCS....EU at least 3 weeks ahead of NA scene.

The only reason they buffed BotRK / Bork is because it rapes splitpusher, I guess?

It was their solution to HP stacking. They just created a whole new monster to deal with now.

Build him for max CDR and then get AD so his AA's are fearsome and not something you want to sit next to. Before his nerfs I was alrdy considering getting IE so his passive 35% crit wasn't wasted and LW so his spin had real penetration/dmg potential.

I'm pretty sure GD was discussing Randuin's as an appropriate 6th defensive item quite a while ago.

I haven't watched Lantyr in like 8 months, but last I watched, he was basically carrying TT Dragons to whatever mediocre results they achieved.

How is toplane supposed to work?

Apparently you can't play top and start without a ward, that is suicide. However, on champions that don't like flask, i really have no idea what to start with. Do i have to do some retarded allin start with a red pot? Or 9 pots + 2 wards? cloth + ward + 2pot is not enough sustain to survive most lanes. So i am really at a loss here.
