I thought the whole point of Lux's kit was getting 40% CDR and throwing ults out every 30 seconds because fuck everything in the general direction of Lux's face?

The problem with lichbane is that you want to keep your distance on lux. If you're close enough to the enemy team to be proccing lichbane, you'll likely be in range for some kind of hard engage.

Isn't the passive just for laning?

Ori doesn't charge into the backline trying to auto down people, and neither should Lux.

A sheen proc on lux is worth like 50 damage, you're better off just getting AP so you can do your sniping job

So I finally found a use for Zephyr outside of 6 item boot replacement on ADCs: Zed when teamfighting is unlikely. I was splitpushing against a Shen, and it was really nice to have the extra MS so I could keep up with him and stop him from escaping, since I usually could not kill him within a death mark. The CDR and tenacity was nice too.

Maybe trolly, but It was a decent 4th item I think. What do yall think?

i'm not gonna do the math on it but basically every skill she has would benefit more from 3 amp tomes than it would from a sheen

Neat thought. I can't imagine too much better than that for a 4th or so. I mean, GA if you don't have it, but that's not bad, especially if you don't already have tenacity.

But I also love Zephyr and may not be thinking straight about its possible uses.

Lux's autos scale from 50-100 while she has an overall 2.05 AP Ratio on her rotation. So this seems about right. In laning phase Sheen would add maybe 30 extra auto damage and a Single Doran Ring would add the equivalent damage to her spell rotation. (Overall damage output would probably be higher with the Doran too because MR is typically lower than Armour.)

Yea, I was going to go GA, but my team was very flakey and seemed like they just preferred the S3 Spring Dignitas "never end the laning phase" plan.

Guys you silly. If you are going to get an offensive item on volibear statikk shiv is the only option. I'm pretty sure that's in the summoners code.

Just think about it. You get move speed and attack speed for hitting more and doing more lightning and then you get even more lightning for moving and attacking! It's just a no brainer. Why would you do anything else? I mean more lightning!

I have a friend who quit league because he couldn't build ionic spark on voli anymore. ._.

Ionic Spark was like #1 item on shen/warwick too

..because spark was health + attack speed + the proc which characters, specifically shen/warwick needed because it had every stat they wanted threw into one item?

Shiv is not even remotely similar

Picking Rengar is like picking Vayne you center your game around it and you need good waveclear and get through early game and then split push. It not really a favoured style among soloq or premades.

Voli top has weak lane clear and has problems vs renekton, mundo and shyvana come mid game because of it.

yea a lot of champs with potential were given the godsend that is hydra to waveclear but unfortunately volibear doesnt benefit much from it. if hydra was good on him he would be a top lane staple.

They're extremely similar. One has lightning that comes out when you hit stuff and the other has lightning that comes out when you hit stuff. They are practically the same item.
