However I saw someone getting Frostfang on her on Saint's stream and although I think the general consensus is that this item sucks, I wanted to math out the relative gold gains from the two: Nomads medallion: 2 Gold/10 seconds + 4 Gold per nearby minion kill with 19 minions spawning every 90 seconds this can give you at most 2 + ((4 x 19)/9) = 10.44 GP10 Frostfang: 4 Gold/10 seconds + 8 Gold per hit on champions every 10 seconds Assuming you hit champs every 10 seconds, this can give you at most 4 + 8 = 12 GP10 Assuming again that you are present for all minion kills in lane with the medallion, you would have to be hitting champs every 12.4 seconds with Frostfang to get similar gold income. On a poke-heavy champion like Lulu this may be possible. Also to note is that if the Frostfang user ran the bandit mastery while the medallion user did not, the frostfang user would have to hit enemy champs even less often. I know the active on Frostfang upgrade sucks compared to medallion's but just some food for thought especially since some supports can really benefit from the extra AP of Frostfang. Problem with Frostfang: Lvl 1: 4 Gold Per AA/Spell, only can get every 10 seconds, passive not usable if you get a CS. Lvl 2: Same with 8 Gold Per In other words, the Passive is really difficult to abuse, because in real life you dont get a chance to do an AA every 10 secs or poke every 10 secs. You get to do several at once, for example Lulu would do Pix>Q>AA>AA in lots of exchanges (maybe even whimsy) all for 1 meager proc, then you kind of wait for a while. It gets really bad lategame. | ||

This is true but as ArchAngelSC pointed out, you can technically get it twice every 10 seconds because there are separate cool downs for each champion, making it a bit more reasonable to achieve. | ||

Still doesn't do anything when you Headbutt the hyper fed Kennen away to save your teammates and they take it as a cue to attack and 3 pile on him to suicide as it's right what he wanted. But some CDR's so good now that it's really hard to get more than one source (including for a bunch of other champions, unless I go FH on Olaf and thus start shroud it's pretty hard to get CDR since the SV nerf). | ||

She already has the glitterlance for a multiple hitting slow, so you can use the active to either secure kills or peel for APC/ADC. The only main concern is that when you go deep AP, you want additional AP and the only viable option(s) (imo) is Twin Shadows and/or Nashor's Tooth which is pretty meh, considering tanky supports get stuff like randuins/frozen heart. edit: if it's somehow possible to maintain an AP-oriented build, it could be the new op. | ||

On the other hand it delays your Deathcap/Voidstaff by 1500 gold... could it be situationally good or just superseded by your post-grail core items? Bjergerking mentions it in his Syndra guide if the opposing team has 2+ tanks. | ||

Also, that random ulti buff. I think at this point, we should just expect Riot to make all champions manaless. | ||

It needs some AP scaling or something. | ||
