You can shut him down all you want, but once he gets BC/BT, his team fight is terrifying, much like Akali gets her first item and murders people. Most fiddles I see are support fiddle. Fiddle does tons of damage with ult+drain without any items and he has a shitton of cc to boot.

The issue isn't what has more utility. The issue is that if you buy a Zhonyas on an AD carry you're throwing away 2.4k worth of gold on a stat that is next to worthless. | ||

God help you if you're facing a lane fiddle. He just clears the wave, ulting people when he needs kills, and has 20-50% more damage than jungle fiddle. | ||

Zhonya's also leaves you standing still for 2 seconds, giving the enemy team time to collapse on you. If that is the argument for Zhonya's on ADs, I'll take GA over it. At least if you get pulled in, your team would have time to try and get in the fight to help you when you get back up. Plus GA trolls Karth ult so hard. | ||

That 2.4k gold for the active can be more than worth it depending on the game. Sure, you shouldn't be getting it every single game but to dismiss it because it has 2.4k gold of bloated stats for an AD carry? Come on, it's an option, at the very least. | ||

It's one item for survivability. In many cases a QSS isn't going to let you live against a Zed or a Khazix. Warmogs might. In the cases Warmogs doesn't, how is Zhonyas worse even if you "waste" 2400 gold worth of AP? The active isn't worth just 100 gold or whatever your calculations make it out to be. The active can be the thing that keeps you alive when no other item would(apart from GA?). GA indeed is worse than Zhonyas in the case their whole team dives you and you can do nothing about it. How does Cass ult vs Kat ult work? Does she "spin" during it so that your ult only has 50% chance to stun, or does it check if you're facing her / facing away from her for a large enough window that it will register the stun either way? Or does Kat just face the same direction that she did when she started the ult and it's all just an animation? | ||

The only argument you might have for Zhonya's is that it gets the job in 1 slot rather than 2, but that is negated by the fact that QSS builds into a BF Sword item. | ||

No it's not negated by that fact, why do you think Warmogs is the most popular survivability item despite it building into no damage? | ||

Zhonya's isn't if you're not using the AP. The slot-efficiency point is that QSS takes the endgame slot of half an offensive item or better because it builds into something that provides offensive stats. | ||

First of all, you can't get it unless it's already deep in late game; To build Zhonya's, you need to invest so much gold in AP which you don't need, so it's not possible to get it before late late game. And if you are in the late game (particularly teamfight) situation, you are better off relying on your team to get Zed away from you. | ||

I normally hate Kat players, but when they know how to avoid Cass stun, that is commendable. Pretty sure it works by you doing q+e+w on her, then you face away and ult. | ||

AP Kog is real, and its not actually bad. I'm bad, but I play with friends who aren't and I keep up with them (actually, surpassing them in my AP Kog game). Also, I have to say playing AP Kog is one of the most fun things to possibly do in LoL, just like playing Karthus or any other spammable hero with a Archangels Staff ROA Armguard building to deathcap. Playing AP Kog reminds me of why I played LoL in the first place, and its worth coming back, even if I only play Renekton and Kog in those games :D | ||

If you don't have a fair amount of hard CC, fiddle contributes a shitton to a level 1 fight with Drain. He's not THAT super easy to invade. | ||
