"Timing" doesn't just refer to the state of your items. Your "3-item timing" doesn't just refer to having 3 items--but that moment when you JUST completed 3 major items, implying that your actual fighting power is underrepresented by your net worth because 1) you have zero banked gold and 2) completed items have higher effectiveness than the same gold value in components. That point represents a power peak because its when your farm has translated most completely into fighting power.

Just saying someone has 3 items doesn't indicate this specific moment.

Timing doesn't have to represent a moment on a clock or anything, I'm not sure why that seems to be an issue here. One could easily reference "well timed" events in other sports or whatnot. In the case of 'item timing' either meaning can apply, and context becomes important. "A good 1 item timing" might refer to how early in the game it was gotten(so super early BORK or something) or it might refer to how the item got done just in time to do something, like fight for dragon, or push a tower, whatever.

How do I report this guy for this clear blasphemy, I haven't even seen it and it's clear that he's better with the stache because you are always better with a stache.


no
there is a fine line between Manly man moustache(which will cause everyone to admire and call you a god), Pedophile stache(which are painfully obvious and will result ine veryone hating you) and cheesy 70's pornstar stache (kinda neutral but good for a few laughs)

o.o

you will never kill anyone 1v1 as TF unless they severely over extend, or youre extreme fed, or you get to 6 items
even then you'll never kill any tank straight up without something like the above being met
the last nerf to him was like, his teleport duration he hasnt been touched at all i dont think, he's still really strong

They also dont run ignite much anymore (Ghost + Flash is the FOTM for him), so TF is really not about 1v1 (hasn't really ever been), its about shoving and getting your botlane fed.

It was one of the core first item people were going with tf as of pre 4.10 in some of his more fragile matchups. Usually it either lich start, zhonya start, deathcap start, or chalice. Chalice being nerfed makes it a lot harder to play him in some of the burstier matchups.

I was oldschool TF and thought TF was fine too, until I try ogn chalice build.

Normally TF has to use almost all W on blue card in lane to sustain mana, but with chalice, he can red card+Q all days to clear the wave. He clears the wave so fast that it's hard for people to gank him. Moreover, the other mid is forced to stay in lane because the constant pressure, so TF has better chance to ultimate and help out other lane too. Chalice+soc boot can clear the wave pretty fast.

I only ever built chalice on TF if I was against some sort of pushing monster (aka Kayle). Double dring into sorc boots was my go to start.

I tried it and didnt mind it but i didnt think it was good enough to change from the old build.
I can see its merit tho.

It's like all chalice/nonchalice builds.....

chalice came out and wasn't very commonly built at high level because "you don't need chalice just L2manage mana"

a year later everyone realizes that literally spamming every ability on CD is far stronger than never casting anything
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

That has almost nothing to do with anything...People always knew Chalice was a great item for cost. The problem was it had no upgrade that was slot efficient + the old blue buff was much better, so it was kinda redundant once you got to that point.

Then Athenes came out (because people were complaining about Chalice and Vlad) and was a little expensive for its stats, then Athenes got buffed and was built by everyone and everything AP, then blue got nerfed, and both got nerfed, etc.

The misrepresentation of the evolution of post S2 LOL is increasingly becoming a pet peeve of mine...

Chalice builds on TF was OK.

The CDR allows you to R more often and W more often in a teamfight. This is very significant to his damage/utility. Athene's first is also decent in a bad match up where you won't get to blue card very often.

I remember when it came out at 80AP and I thought it was dumb, then Riot buffed it. I couldn't believe it.
