You can buy a wand and then 3 sets of 5 HP pots. Or a book and crystal and in both instances be generally better off. | ||

That's 11 potions. | ||

First of all, what power spike? Liandry's? That just adds damage, like raw AP adds damage. Rylai's? Your E already slows. Void Staff? Yeah right. Zhonya's? Good luck with that. You are not even a duelist, nor do you have burst damage. You don't need "power spikes". You need a well-placed ultimate, and this applies no matter how fed you are. Secondly, who the fuck cares about "power spike", even if it exists. It's soloQ, you play selfishly and carry yourself, because no one is going to go "HEY GUYS OUR RUMBLE JUST GOT LIANDRY'S LET'S FIGHT AT DRAGON". You should be itemizing as well as you can for late game power unless your team is dreadfully behind and you absolutely have to step it up. A revolver gives you a lot of flexibility on what you can do and serves as sustain when you have none. Thirdly, revolver is not useless. Its laning power is pretty obvious, and because you do a lot of AOE damage it does add up in a teamfight. It's pretty easy to heal 50-100 hp for yourself each teamfight unless you are instantly blown up (in which case nothing can save you). I'd say you can get around 150ish gold worth of HP from the spellvamp. You will sell it later on, yes, but not every single game hits 6 items full builds. Revolver is not the best item on Rumble nor do I suggest you should build it every single game (in fact you cannot build it against most matchups unless you want to straight up lose it). But to simply discard it for some buzz word is slightly misguided. | ||

The point of the saying is basically to overcome TL Hipsterism where way back in time people would say "Jax vs. Renekton is a skill matchup" (during the uber Renekton days)/ "Jax is Viable, all you need to do is get to late game". When really they meant, "If your opponent is bad/you significantly outplay your opponent then you can get to lategame where Jax is better than Renekton." And Jax wasn't even that terrible, just a tier behind, there were champions like Garen, Fiora, and even Post-Nerf Olaf that people were saying were "viable" mid Season 3, which essentially makes the term meaningless. | ||

You could get revolver and freefarm on rumble, but honestly, would you rather have guise or revolver for first/second dragon fight? One will kill the whole enemy team with one skill if you place it right, the other will do moderate damage. The answer to that question is which you should get. | ||

For example, say that I can hit challenger by playing 200 games of Amumu - because Amumu is fairly simple to play and is fairly strong; with Amumu I improve fast and rank up fast. On the other hand, I might require 1000 games to hit challenger playing Urgot, because Urgot is hard to play and is fairly weak. In a strict sense I guess both are "viable", but in reality I only got time to play 200 games, not 1000. The time and effort limits my pool of "viable" champions. | ||

The problem is that you will also need to buy 5 pots each time you back against Maokai, and Maokai will outsustain your 5 pots with his 5 pots + flask + Catalyst. You can either get 5 pots and get outsustained and pushed out of lane while allowing Maokai to roam, or you can just get a revolver and take total control of your lane with an iron fist. The answer to that question is which you should get. | ||

I don't think I said anything about individual players' differences when it comes to adapting to new champions. I am saying certain champions MAY be harder to adapt to in general, because they are weaker in general. I am saying that not everyone has the same amount of time playing this game. | ||

Well, you're also directly competing against other people who have the same options, and if they all take the 200-game champ and you take the 1000-game champ then it doesn't really matter if you get to 1000-games when everyone else is challenger 5 times over. Not that this has any bearing on reality | ||
