What do you think about both jungler and the toplaner getting locket + bulwark? Those feel like just solid tank items even if they only stack for 2 people in your team(bulwark). Good advice... Don't buy Move speed quints unless u jungle. AD/AP flat quints are the best. AD/Magic pen Marks, armor seals are the only ones u need, and MR/scaling glyphs... thats all u need for both AP and AD.
Not good advice tbh. Movespeed quints are good on everybody 'cept maybe AD carries.
Mvsp quints actually very good on ap mids. I run 'em on my Ryze runepage for example.

I've been playing a lot of Jayce. Also play TF (mid), Thresh (support), and Graves ADC.
For your 2 rune pages:
AD
Armor
Mres
AD
and
MPen
Armor
Mres
AP
Mres on the second one so you don't need to buy more runes, can also get AP/lvl if you feel rich
Why is Youmu's Ghostblade never bought? BC really isn't that amazing anymore and imo Youmus just gives a lot more if you don't have a lot of AoE / multihit physical moves. Even for AD casters, though some of course like BC more.

The only must-have runes imo are flat armor yellows and flat/scaling magic resist blues. Those can be run on basically every single rune page. Marks are always armor pen, magic pen, or flat AD. Quints are the most versatile; basically any of the 2k IP quints can be used.

It's the same reason I don't really like aura items. I just hate the way every jungler has to built locket and aegis because its objectively the best way to play so theres no diversity or room for individuality because you should always build them because it helps the team passively but it has nothing to do with how good you are or what champion you're playing and how you play them and there's so many fun items you never get a chance to use.
Items like Zekes are great, because you're making a calculated investment in certain members of your team and are making the assumption that you are going to be with them, allowing for stuff like split pushing to mess up that. But aegis and locket are already cost effective and help absolutely everybody so it doesn't matter if certain members of the team are missing. I think this is only a problem because nobody buys these items on anyone other than the Jungler. Aegis/Locket would be more interesting if people actually considered them on higher position carry roles (which they should be doing but don't). It just feels like it hems in the jungler to buy them because he's the only one buying them while the top laner is buying his own selfish defensive items that, at the end of the day, are doing the same thing as the support defensive items--just only for himself. The concept of a team item as strong as these are good because they implicitly favor team-oriented playstyles (pushing/teamfighting/objective-taking), rather than solo-oriented playstyles (solo-killing, split-pushing). The problem is that this implicit pressure is ONLY acting on the jungler because out of habit people don't consider them on the carry roles. I don't think this is a design problem more than people being accustomed to being able to itemize selfishly on those roles. If the expectation was that the top laner and/or the mid laner helps out in carrying these important team items, then suddenly you have more room to play with in terms of who gets what items, while maintaining that implicit push toward team-oriented play. I don't see the need to incentivise team fighting since there are already obvious advantages to grouping up anyway. Even if top goes for bulwark he still is buying an item thats boring and just to help the team, theres no fun in it and I don't see how it helps the game at the competitive level either. Locket I'm more okay with because the timing of the active is important, so its not just buy it and stand close to people.
Here is why Top doesn't buy Aura items while jungle does:
Solo Power Aegis (2150)/Bulwark (2950) vs. Phage+Zeal/Sheen (~2600) or Sunfire (2600) or even Cutlass + Components or Giants + Wardens, the Aura item loses trades.
|
it's also entirely dependent on who's playing top and who's playing jungle
|
The only really must-have runes are armor yellows, since they open up the entire role of jungling for you. It's incredibly awkward to jungle without armor yellows except with the most durable of champions.
But yeah, there's a reason why AD reds, armor yellows, and MR blues are in the cheapest price tier, and it's not because they're worse than the other ones. It's because Riot doesn't want there to be a huge barrier to getting a workable rune page while still having the IP sink there for those with too much IP and not enough energy regeneration per level runes.

You know where you used to be able to press lock in in champion select and it would lock in a a random champion. Now you have to press random and then press lock in

I really enjoy Lissandra's whole "I hit 6 and can instantly kill the enemy laner" thing she's got going on.
Why didn't Soniv tell us about this earlier? If he was more vocal we'd all be playing Annie and Viktor by now.

Riot needs to remove new champs from ranked play for at least a week. My input on what should be done in the next patch.

Uhh yeah.
A long long time ago, there used to be a high elo twitch that everyone hated, and only played twitch. I believe his name was something along the lines of superaznguy or something equally generic like that. I cannot remember the name too well though. It's a bit difficult to search for, but maybe this might help someone else remember the name if it's the right person.

I've already started. I make a point of illustrating it's inferiority every day to a co-worker who dabbles in the black art.

Um...I'm pretty sure I've been plenty vocal about Annie and Viktor. O_o
Only played Lissandra a couple times on PBE when she first came out. I'm excited to grab her once she goes to 6300

C'mon Soniv, get a sense of humor~

Apparently the shopkeeper on Howling Abyss has lines unique for some champions. I switched to mercury hammer on Jayce and he said "I had a Mercury Hammer once... it was much bigger." And something else when I acceleration gated. Also think Heimer gave the win for science quote..

I was considering signing up for the Best Riven NA tournament, but after seeing some of the signups, I think I'd be better off contemplating how bad I am at this game.
