Played about 10 matches today. Only won when I was Alistar but my final game I won mid-lane as Orianna vs Cassiopeia who harassed me so hard. I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable with Orianna but I think my lack of item knowledge is haltering me as I was able to be a massive impact against the enemy team but if I get caught out once, I'm dead.

Sounds more like a positional/map awareness issue than an item knowledge issue.

Remember to always look at your minimap every few seconds. If you can't see members of the enemy team and don't know where they are, make sure you're somewhere safe.

I'll try this now as I'm queuing.

Also, to contribute to a discussion. Is Varus role-confused or what? His abilities are cool and I feel would be awesome with more AP but his passive demands AD. I just tried him in ARAM and I love his Q

No, Varus as an AP is all about his burst, plus, his W scales only a single percent with every 100AP you get, so by spending ~10k gold on Dcap/void/zhonyas or DFG, you'll do a lot of damage, to that single person that you root with your ult, auto 3 times and hit with Q. All told, you'll do maybe 1600 damage, if you're lucky I think.

WIth that same amount of gold spent on AD and attack speed, you'll be able to proc his Blighted Quiver with your E instead, and get 4 procs instead of the 3 you can get normally (Unless that's been patched out...?)

His Q also scales something like 160% of your AD with a full range cast, I've sniped so many kills using that skill. Granted, I haven't played him recently, since I lost interest in LoL compared to dota, especially with all the server issues recently.

What? Varus W scales 2% per 100ap PER STACK. Absurd scaling.

A single Varus 400 ap full blight proc does 39% of targets max health. He's kind of cool to play AP tankbuster, but he is hard to position and actually plays pretty similar to AD just with burstier damage. He's the ultimate in percent health damage.



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.

Tl;dr AP Varus is kind of cool but don't try it if you're still struggling to learn the game

I didn't do especially well as I won then lost mid but your build worked (mostly because Nasus wrecked later on)

I'd recommend getting dcap then void after grail since you want to be able to waveclear better and void doesn't really do that much for you against minions.

Yeah, that shits cookie cutter on any non-unique AP mid. Which is 97.5% of them.

Riot doing a good job of taking all the fun out of the games itemization.

What problems are the servers having now? Lizardsquad is apparently dead, so shouldn't be any DDoSing.

Really? I thought it was only 1% per stack, my bad. Like I said though, I haven't played League in a while, and the last time I played, I keep getting shoehorned into support/semi-carry roles.

Guess I need to play a ranked game sometime to avoid decay though...

On the Soraka rework:

Soraka converts 20% of her Bonus Magic Resists and Bonus Armor into Abililty Power.


So apparently this means that if you buy thornmail, it only gives you 80 armour instead of 100 and the other 20 turns into AP...? Why is this a thing?

probably because there is no way to rework soraka into a playable character without making her tank version too strong. So its an okay way to detract from building her tanky but meh.

I always want to try Varus on hit AP style and build him similar to Kayle. Nashor's would be in in there, maybe even a Wit's End for some hilarity. I never have to guts to do it though. I do really like Varus, he's my go to when I have to ADC.

Not sure I follow, I read that as it taking 20% of the bonus values and using that as bonus AP. Do other skills work that way and I just never noticed or is it a new mechanic/poorly worded?

It's probably just poor wording.
