Currently sitting at 3-4. 1-1 on both Varus and Jinx and 0-1 on Vi. Last game I had to drag my team kicking and screaming because they were allergic to being within 2 screens of each other. AD seems to be the new "fuck that position," so if that keeps up I guess I'm becoming an AD main this season.

So much is wrong here.

1-2 was before any changes, i used to check lolking daily and his pickrate dropped to 3-4 % after his first nerf when zed/kha/jayce were popular, oh i made a mistake and wrote faker played in lcs not ogn, grats for nitpicking

I literally just looked over all the pick/bans in OGN Summer. I counted 14 picks and 4 bans on gragas. Faker picked Gragas a grand total of once and it was never banned against him. In the finals alone, Ryu picked Gragas more times than SKT did the entire tournament.

I get that it's cool to like Faker on reddit, so it's also cool to hate on people liking him, but if you're gonna make a claim about people sheeping a champion off him like people have Riven... Well, have a fucking clue what you're talking about.

he was an example i dont remember names of ogn mid-laners nor care who popularized gragas, as for me being faker nut hugger im quite the opposite, i always say he is overhyped as fuck

lets say there was a streamer on your team that you didn't want to play with.

do you lose mmr / a placement match if you dodge?

it was problably Mima's Gragas that I would give the most credit, or Nagne for the non-hipster, by crushing Faker at worlds with it every game it was not banned, but yea not really Faker.

You mean my real life friend I played 3 games with and lost 2 of them (which is 40 % of my losses in the new season, I have 12 wins)? On top of that, our 4th pick guy had Thresh on his monitor, I took Ezrael and then he changes with 4 seconds left and I didn't get to pick another champion so I ended up playing support Ezrael with the troll Caitlyn... I had no damage, I had no utility, I had low mobility because of low level and no CDR. I don't know what you expect of me in that scenario.

ye but everyone here said i was dumb saying iceborn is best on nasus because he already has a slow, and since this place is smug central it helps to remind people that other opinions can be useful sometimes :O

The question never was about "which sheen item do I buy" but more "do I buy a sheen item at all" - cause if you're not getting a sheen item, you probably aren't even buying an offensive item at all. Nasus doesn't need any offensive items to do sick damage. And at some point late in the game, LW is going to do way more damage than any other offensive item you tack onto him.


This is probably not true for a typical game.

Triforce probably adds more damage than LW unless you're at some stupid 70 minute long 1000 stacks point. Just a guess.


ok by just guessing you don't get anywhere. let us estimate:

assumption:
400 damage on Q total (thats about 200 cs + base damage)
enemy 150 armor (about 1 armor item + runes + base etc.)

damage with triforce on Q: ~400 + ~180 ~= 580
after reduction taking spirit fire into account you deal half damage against a 100 armor target: ~580 / ~2 ~= 290

damage with lw: ~400 + 40 ~= 440
damage after reduction + spirit fire is against a 57.5 armor target which reduces damage for about 25%: ~440 * 0.75 = 330.

You definitely get more damage/gold from LW after just 1 bigger armor item. squishy champions often have 1 minor armor item like zonyas or GA which gives them about 130 armor in total so you still deal more damage with your Q. Things only get better in favor of LW the more stacks you get on Q and the more armor some of the bruisers get.


This is so very wrong.

Nasus has 116 AD at level 18. 200 stacks would give him 310 bonus Q damage.

So a Triforce Q would do 703 damage after averaging 10% crit, and a LW Q would do 466 damage.

Spirit Fire is armor reduction, not armor pen, so is counted before % penetration. Your 150 armor target has 110 armor vs. Trinity and 71.5 armor vs. LW.

So your Trinity Q does 330 damage and your LW Q does 270 damage.

Factoring the attack speed and assuming 40% CDR since that's good on Nasus, your DPS vs. this target:
With Trinity: 234
With LW: 202

Not to mention the 30 AP on Trinity increases your E damage by 36 and your R damage by 4.5% max HP.


I obviously did not assume lvl 18 stats at all (200 cs, 150 armor, mentioning how LW gets more costefficient later in the game etc.). you are comparing the lvl 18 base damage against 150 armor which you only get vs squishies at lvl 18 where at least two opponents will have randuins+some other major armor item (randuins also lowers the dps of triforce more).

my spirit fire calculation is apparently false in the other hand you have it up only for not even half of the time which favors LW more in this case.

but again your numbers show about the same result: about the same damage for 1500 more gold even with the lvl 18 base damage against a squishy target. while more Q stacks + more opponent armor favors LW.


vs. a 150 armor target you'd need about a 900 stack Q for a LW Q to do more damage than a Trinity Q.

You'd need even more for your overall damage to be higher with LW.


Obviously the more armor they have the fewer stacks you need, but even at 300 armor you'd need around 500 stacks for a LW Q to do more than a Trinity Q, and more than that to do more overall damage with LW.


In terms of cost efficiency, is 250 HP, 200 mana, 30 AP, 8% movespeed and a Phage passive worth 1500g to you?


Re: "Are you even going to buy a single sheen item at all?"

Any offensive item at all?

All these calcs are done assuming your target stands in spirit fire, too. That seems a bit unrealistic to me.

Same reason you get paired with people on your ignore list.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Forgiven, I guess... But accusing someone of being ELO boosted is not very nice, it's devalues my skill and my results.. :-(

Do dodges in placement games count as losses the way they do in promotion series?

That really was the worst thing ever. I was 5th pick and our 4th pick guy had Thresh clicked, then 4 seconds before the timer he changes to Caitlyn and I couldn't change in time (tried Annie but was banned...) I've never played a hero that felt more useless without farm -- no utility, no damage, no mobility. You just don't have anything, lol :-(
