Damn watching qtpie try to play blue ez with essence reaver is kinda sad.

It sounds like they go together, then you realize that 2% of 3% of your current mana is a really small number.


I just tried it (well TF instead of IBG), needless to say it felt like i got carried stupidly hard.

It is also counter intuitive too, cuz if you're primarily autoattack focused champion, majority of your damage is going to be coming from auto attacks, not spells. So why do you even need the mana in the first place? None of the steroids in this game are large mana burdens overtime. Essence Reaver sucks for the same reason Muramana sucks, except its' even worse, because at least Muramana has a sick end game damage spike, with overall more useful scaling with both spells and auto attack. Essence Reaver fails on both fronts.

Having high burst mana usage (and therefore needing flat mana) is also a more common problem among autoattacking champs than moderate sustained mana usage. Most of the autoattacking champs that have "mana problems" mid-lategame are because they need 1000 mana right now, not because they need 5-10 mana every autoattack over a long period of time.

is this because steroids and stuff all have flat mana costs? what if they adjust them to work per auto attack like ashe or something

ashe is probably the only person who has a skill that uses essence reaver correctly, but her mana costs are so low it doesn't matter. oh jinx too, with her rockets.

To be honest, if I was in London, I would rather spend my time being a silly American tourist looking at the Big Ben and Crown Jewels than watching EU LCS with a bunch of neckbeards.

Maybe having lived there for more then half my life took the edge off the tourist attractions

What quints do you guys run for adc's since the switch back to life steal for dorans blade?


Depends on what build path you're going for. If you're going for doran's into shiv or IE then life steal quints seem like a good idea. If you're going botrk then AD quints are probably best.

The thing is, Essence Reaver doesn't give ANY mana before it's completed (note none of the components are mana or regen items). It's not really suitable for a champion who's mana problems would appear before it's completed--if you really feel the need for mana/regen, an item that gives you this immediately suits your needs better.

It's an uncommon pattern for a champion to not need mana early, but to need it enough to invest in an item for it 2650 gold in. Usually it's the other way round, where a champion has more mana problems early and slowly outgrows them.

So a mana heavy jungler who starts blue buff and only need machete or madreds to clear. getting it as a first big item out of the jungle.

The extra gold from the Wriggles and SpiritStone upgrade is too good to delay.


Ehhh.Not really. SpiritStone upgrades gives 6 GP/10. Which isn't all that much (much lower than the 12 GP/10 effective that a sightstone gives and the ridiculous amount of GP/10 that ). The thing that makes spirit stone items good is their upgrade efficiency (overall they have weak stats, but once you have spirit they're very efficient) and the thing that makes wriggles good is its clear.

I mean you still can't get this 2650 gold item in the jungle because its a long ways to go for a mana item you don't need because of spirit stone to buy an item which has you paying more for mana on this than you are for mana on spirit stone.

the problem with frozen heart and warmogs isn't with their completed item timings, it's the 1600/1800 gold abyss between belt/warden's and a finished item where you can only buy either a ruby crystal or a cloth armor's worth of EHP.


Yup, same problem with Zekes. On AD's its not as much of an issue because you can grab that BF sword first in a duo lane where its harder to agress. But i have a feeling that the smaller build path items will become a lot more popular than they are at the moment.

With 500 AP, rank 5 Nidalee traps do 30% of current health. That's kind of random. Although I guess it's not actually that much more against squishy targets compared to old Nidalee. Does anyone else find it kind of hilarious that rank 1 takedown does a minimum of FOUR damage?


Its only more if you don't build AP. The scaling on traps is abysmal; it requires >1000 AP to double damage. Her Q ratio's are pretty decent though (375 to double, old spear was 345, Morg Q is 333, all of which are on the high scaling side)

Pen/bruiser Nid is going to be really strong.

Also, she is so base damage weak there is no way she could buy it; she has to rush to AD and attack speed immediately. Plus if you're going to do that you can just get tear and stack it super fast for the mid game Muramana spike.

Well she wasn't really that strong before, just literally the only decent champion that filled a highly sought after niche.

Another problem is that Essence reaver is horribly slot inefficient for AD carries and AD assassins. It has 30 less AD than the BF items, plus doesn't contribute in other ways to your damage output, especially since Muramana exists.
