Yeah well DPS is a pretty shitty metric when it comes to Rylai's.

I'm speechless at the unintentional humor from this. I... its too good. People don't even read or think about whats being said. Only one of us is even talking about real situations in game the other is just talking theory with no basis in reality.

enjoy his math. lol Im done.

Basically the only coherent point PX made in all of that is that Codex + Stinger is similar in strength to Nashors, and yes it would be great if you could just sit on those two items and build other things.

The problem with this is that Dorans + Dorans + Boots + Codex + Stinger is already 5 of 6 item slots.

If at that point you go back to base and already have 3k gold, sure you can just straight up buy a big item and that's cool.


Otherwise, you're probably going to end up wanting to buy a Blasting Wand, because it's probably your next purchase for whatever it is you're going to buy. (likely a Rylais for defense/utility or a Void Staff for damage)

But then you don't have an item slot for potions or wards and the next thing you're going to have to do is either sit on 2k gold or finish Nashors anyway. And finishing Nashors gives you more power for less gold than buying a Blasting Wand, while allowing you to keep a slot open for consumables.

The other argument would be to sell one of your dorans rings, which I would entertain, if said argument was actually posted with logic and reasoning and numbers.

While PX hasn't really brought anything you can't really claim Ketera's "math" is fact since he's excluding a lot of information in order to bring numbers that prove his point.

I did all the math because PX was all "Mathematically Deathcap+DFG is the best" which it's not and is bullshit. He has no arguable points and he doesn't check things before he says them, he just wants to sound smart.

I'd love to actually figure a good Azir build out. So far I think 2x Dorans into Nashor into Rylai seems like a good standard build. It may well not be the best. I'd love to be wrong and to figure that out.

"Morello + Zephyr felt good on the PBE" isn't going to get us there.


By the way, if you want to be all "Oh DPS isn't a good metric because it's how many attacks you get in however amount of time blah blah" I'm fairly certain that having an item that slows people and keeps them in soldier range will help you get more attacks.

Yeah, with rylais you should always have soldiers attacking unless you being dove hard.

I guess win for dfg is it's better the the 1v1 environments azir already struggles, but id rather just optimize your adc like strengths

I'd be interested in seeing if going 1 dorans ring is enough, or if his early game is so awful that he has to have two.

1x dring + codex + stinger, then build Rylais, then finish Nashor, might be better.

Double Dorans > Nashor > Rylai appears to be the build, IMO.

Mathematically, Deathfire deathcap does more damage than that.


Oh really?

Lets see, when do you have two items. I'm gonna guess level 11.

2x dring + Nashor + Rylai + amp tome = 7055 gold

2x dring + Deathcap + DFG = 7200 gold


Here are the stat differences in these two builds. 21/9 masteries, ASPD+Armor+CDR+CDR runes.

Nashor+Rylai Azir

Sand soldier DPS: 332.33
Hat+DFG Azir

Sand soldier DPS: 337.98

Stop spouting crap PX.



I'd love to actually figure a good Azir build out. So far I think 2x Dorans into Nashor into Rylai seems like a good standard build. It may well not be the best. I'd love to be wrong and to figure that out.

"Morello + Zephyr felt good on the PBE" isn't going to get us there.

I mean this is pretty much all i need to do to respond to this. i said i was done, why do you keep trying to post stuff to discredit me. especially when all i need to do is copy paste to make you look silly.

WHY would you build a Morello when you already have Codex + Stinger? What the shit?

I think PX wants two CDR items for maximized CDR.

Ketara wants to run scaling CDR blues (15% at level 18). So Ketara only needs one 20% CDR item.

I think scaling CDR blues are really strong right now btw, everyone should try them (maybe except Karthus/Cass)

So, Scip presents the idea of just not buying a Fiendish Codex at all, and going 2x dorans > Stinger > something else. Likely Void if ahead or Rylai if behind.

That's worth trying, IMO.

I'm guessing that he really just wants to be 40% CDR as soon as possible, though.

With such a huge attack speed difference between the two builds you'll get more AAs off with nashor's too.

I mean you have a point PX, LoL theorycraft is limited and often times with experience you realize that you simply have other concerns than pure damage (e.g. shiv over PD on ADCs, athene's for sustain, even the aforementioned Rylai's to try to get more autos off). I just feel very skeptical when you combine the thought that Nashor's is bad with the thought that Zephyr is an item you want. AFAIK there is no champ where zephyr is a normal (or at least required) part of the build path. Why would Azir, who's not even remotely an AD champ, be the exception?


Well hurricane was in a similiar position when all of a sudden it became a core item on Kayle when no one else buys it. So there is precedent of AS mages being weird.


Man, I guess I somehow missed hurricane Kayle. Would have been interesting to see...

Just in case anyone is interested. I created an LR thread specifically for rebroadcast for S4WC, as to avoid people from getting spoiled from the original live broadcast thread.

Ryze is such a shore. I know Irelia's supposed to beat him, but what do I do while waiting for level 5 and kill potential on him? Either ask my jungler to come (yeah, well, it's soloQ, so I'd rather forget that), or let him zone me from exp from level 1 onward (because he can start sapphire and deal ~20% of my HP every Q), while begging for cs (considering that he can harass you and even QWE combo under tower without taking aggro while you're trying to get last hits on melee minions)?

I feel like it doesn't matter how Irelia supposedly "beats" him if I have to get camped by my jungler or lose 20+ cs to him, as he has enough with Tear for his laning while I don't feel strong enough until I have at least dblade+sheen.


0K how the fuck does Vlad Q me before I flash and kill me with that? His Q is instant, either I die and don't flash, o I flash and he doesn't cast. What the fuck.
