And the knock-up was, well, his utility, so even after the "utility buffs" he's overall nerfed in that regard. Riot is trying to shift him to being mainly a top laner, where he's seen play before in the past to moderate success. The mana cost reduction is huge there because it just cost way to much to use in lane. | ||

The old change where they took the armor bonus off of Demacian Standard hurt him in lane far more than it hurt him in the jungle (it basically killed his ability to 1v2). I would have looked at a revert of that first. | ||

Toplane is 1 DPS item rest tank, or Ryze, or Jax. Who gets 2 DPS items and then tank. No srsly. Toplane is usually this tanky dude who does damage naturally. Renekton, Shyvana, Jax, Ryze usually. On occasion you might see a Trundle or an Aatrox. Irelia is making a comeback. Junglers are super strong. The sentiment that junglers win games are now not only true through pressure/objective control, but also raw teamfight strength. Damage junglers with 1-2 DPS items are all the rage right now. Mid lane is again home to mages. AP assassins, usually. Or the odd Orianna. Or the odd former support in form of BATTLERAKA and Lulu. There are only three choices for AD carry. Lucian for raw midgame power. Caitlyn for winning lane. Twitch/Jinx for lategame hypercarry. Support is where its most fun at. Whatever champion you find down here is the BEST at what he does. Fighting? Leona. Burst? Annie. Lane bully? Karma. Or how about more defensive oriented? Nami. Thresh for all around. Also, you get really rich down there. Like, within 2k of your carry. | ||

Then you want sightstone (first one, ruby isn't really needed since of the 3 ward on the map at one time limit), mikaels crucible/spooky ghosts/zhonyas on some champs. Banshees/randuins if you need tankyness. Frozen heart is also acceptable on some champs (blitz<3). For Boots, you probably want mercs/mobos/cdr depending on champion and situation. You can also get the flash cd enchant (forgot the name) if your team relies on a tibbers or crecendo or whatever. Edit: If you get really fed you can go sorcs, haunting guise or other offensive items, cause you actually have a really easy time getting gold as support nowadays and you have sightstone for wards. For trinkets, you should start the ward trinket, then swap to sweeper about when you get sightstone. Then upgrade whenever you feel like you can afford it or if you need it vs a stealth champ, as it doesn't reveal stealth without the upgrade. | ||
