What's the logic to Zac not being easily countered top lane? I play Zac (But not extensively) so I don't know the in's and out's of his laning phase. Is Zac hard to counter because he has so much CC and sustain? From my experience Zac isn't a phenomenal duelist, (If this is wrong someone tell me!) so I'd imagine that some champions would be able to bully him very hard. To hijack the Korean term, Zac is a big, fat herbivore. He doesn't have incredible kill threat/potential without a gank, while being good at getting away from ganks. People often try to focus too much on knocking out of lane and end up falling behind in lane/farm. That and nobody buys Executioner's Calling, ever.
They need to revert this item. 1.5 seconds of wounds is nothing. Cowl heals for like 10 seconds.
It used to give lifesteal to let you sustain yourself against super sustainers. Not anymore.

If they want people to actually use executioner's calling, they need to change the build path and the stats. The build path has always been super awkward. Also it fits the weird niche of "not really a full item and the stat efficiency isn't really good enough to actually warrant buying it" even if you get a lot of mileage out of passive. If I find it hard to buy wriggles when it costs 2k and brings a lot to the table, how am I supposed to ever convince myself to buy executioners calling when it gives 20% crit and the champions I want to buy it on generally don't need crit?

Even if equal skills in lane, it always depend on individual skills and your overall team comp. You can always "lose" lane and "win" game, laning phase is such a minor detail that rarely means anything unless you feed hardcore. Depends on your champion.With stuff like caitlyn if you don't win lane you gotta afk farm next 40 minutes to not be useless. Yeah if you go 0-5 and they get your turret very early. As long as you know how to prevent yourself from becoming near useless, you always have a chance of recovery without going into late-game.
This is only true up till like high silver maybe, once you get higher more and more games are decided in laning, and a lot of times there's not much room for recovering.

There was one game where Bebe (either vs Frost or Gambit) built Executioner's Calling for the final push into the enemy team's base. It IS a weird mid-tier item, but the way he used it was pretty sick-- the lifesteal from it kept him alive in the big teamfight there.

For those who haven't, now is a good opportunity to check out TBD. They've got a hell of a lot of talent they're bringing in, and Westrice gets to play assassins again. Definitely worth watching them.

Hey let's retool executioner's calling because lifesteal crit makes no sense on a 1400 gold item...
Retool it into something that makes even less sense ~_~

Because I think they have the most potential!

Aside Nunu and Udyr, what junglers can go 21 in utility tree and still clear and gank well?
The Utility tree is awesome, +3% movespeed, CDR, +5% xp, Spell Vamp, increased buff duration, CDR on Summoners/items so stronk.
Maybe Zac? Skarner?

Amumu can. Jarvan probably can, but I don't know why you would want to. :>

I think it would hurt J4's clear a lot. I think he'd be rather slow with 0/9/21, and with 9/0/21 I think he wouldn't clear safely enough. Either way his clear is hurting a lot.
21 in utility is awesome. You just run so fast, have better sustain, and you hit level break points way way faster, you just get to do more stuff and you dont fall behind because of the increased XP.
Like you can gank 10 times more than the enemy jungler and still out level him, and the other team rages hard regardless of how well the enemy jungler is playing.

Nasus can go 21 utility, I still go 21 defense though.

because of 5% xp? lol
Yeah.
You hit 4 first you can go fight enemy jungler in his jungle and screw him up. Take some of his stuff and he can't really do anything about it cuz you had level advantage. Then you can snowball that advantage and it is excerbated by the fact that youy just gain more XP.
It might not seem big but it is rather noticable that you are just higher leveled.

Why would you go 21 utility on j4?That's stupid.Why not go 21/9 and just kill people?Counterganks would rape you so hard if you go utility j4 as well.

just to clarify, assuming equal farm, when you are level 18 an opponent without xp masteries will be level 17.6. It has basically no impact early game unless you have a specific cheese route in mind.
