i think we should ban more people

You can ban me for a week. Need no distractions.

If you're considerably ahead, Bruta after Cutlass is acceptable. Otherwise standard is BotRK first for maximum damage with Death Mark.


Pretty sure when we did Zed math a month or so ago we ascertained that Bruta + Cutlass > BotRK.

This is also how Bischu has been building Zed for months now. It's smoother to build into as well, gold-wise.

It depended what parameters you put on the situation

For the most part it was a bunch of assumptions like OKAY you will only get two auto attacks, one q, and an e off, they will have 100 armor, etc.

I still think BotRK is too core to delay, the later the game goes the harder it becomes to pick up items that cost over 1k gold without stagnating. Personal choice for me and even if the math is against me at level 6/11 I think overall for gameflow it's pretty much always better to finish BotRK before doing anything else.

Lets all just smile the hell out of newcomers.

Good God that seems sinister

I expect more smiles now. Was gonna say "Smile before me!" but it just sounded so odd that I couldn't but had to add a meta-comment explaining it. Or something like that.

So, 3v3's to get that Elise+skin are surprisingly fun because Teemo is OP. Mushrooms on a map where you can't buy wards? C'mon, easy.

lightbringer and hextech sweeper would have a word with you.

The issue is that all of his skills are not "one target spell" abilities, so it wouldn't proc on those, which is a pretty big deal considering his whole kit is based around using skills into having his passive proc.

Yeah the math we did was pretty simple and easycakes.

I can't speak to the efficiency of build flow, but mathwise, in terms of burst damage, the upgrade from Cutlass to BotRK doesn't give you much. It's 1800 gold to turn the active from 100 damage to 15% max HP, when for most champions burst combos just buying 1800 gold in AD would result in more damage.

What you get from finishing the BotRK is utility and sustained damage, for burst damage Cutlass is a completely ridiculous OP item.

Ah, considering it was single targeted, I thought the Q would proc it. Alright, that makes the item less than ideal >.>

So, just deal with his mana problems then?

Look at what the enemy is doing too-- if he stacks HP, Bork, if he stacks armor, bruta. Bork active does 15% max + 5% current blah blah blah, but consider bruta an effective 10% increase in overall damage (because every point of armor is +1% EHP)

Then you have to decide between the CDR and lifesteal.

Generall though Bork is going to be a much bigger power spike-- a little harder to calculate, but my gut tells me it gives more than 10% increased damage.

Brutalizer is only a 10% increase in physical damage if they have really low armor. If they have 10 armor, then brutalizer increases your damage by 10%, but if they have 100 armor the damage increase is more like 5%.


That's right.

@ticklishmusic: Armor is the most effective answer to bruta. If you're building flat pen to counter their armor you're doing it wrong. Last whisper is a better answer to stacked armor.
And every point of armor isn't +1% EHP. Every point of armor increases your EHP by 1% of your HP.

Probably for the better as they were all ez mode champs that were boring and too safe. Kha6 is still viable but u can't just pick him into any match up and win or get free farm in match ups that u wouldn't win

Did anyone of you try Ashe with the new Phage? It's ridiculously fun for kiting. Not sure if it is even slightly viable (does not fit too well into a build), but definitely enjoyable.

Could build Trinity Force maybe. It gives a little Mana and isn't a terrible idea on Lucian from what I've seen. Not going to solve the problem but it could help.

Lucian's Q is bugged and sometimes costs double mana, till it's fixed, hard to tell how mana-hungry he is.

I haven't tried it but I may. I played my last ~5 games as Ashe trying genja's build style (full arpen runes, triple doran/BT/LW/IE in that order) and I felt I had more impact than when I play the standard way (ad/ls runes, IE then shiv or PD). At this point I almost feel bad buying attack speed :p If I wasn't of getting flame from my teammates, I'd gladly try getting phage instead of 2 doran and upgrade it to triforce later in the game.
