Sterak's is really nice on Zac and Cinderhulk champs from my xp, seems like a good fit for some melees who use Sheen as well. Maybe Ekko, idk though. | ||

That's paying a lot for just some HP considering how little he gets to auto though. | ||

It's underbought, but so are Titanic, Liandry's, DMP, and a lot of other new/updated items. No, it's not. Most champions do not get enough AD out of it even with total AD ratios. It just doesn't give enough AD unless you also have hilarious base AD or have triforce. Edit: the average ad champion is going to have 100'AD at level 18 and 90 at level 17. Call it 110/100 for non juggernaut bruiser (pre juggernauts the highest base AD at 18 was like 120). If you have 100 base AD then you get a pickaxe worth of AD from Steraks. The highest this becomes is like 37.5 AD for Morde at level 18. So if you don't have Triforce you simply can't get more out of it than building towards titanic or black cleaver. Both of which will give you more AD all the time and more HP. (Minus the passive shield) plus other advantages like CDR and shred or an AA reset. | ||

Sterak's shield triggers based on a flat amount of health lost, so either you've got a medium health pool and it basically buys you a few seconds before you die because it triggers while you're very low (think 1.5k HP midgame into 2.5k HP lategame), or you've got a big health pool and it can allow you to escape burst then reenter the fight with a decent health pool instead of having to leave it altogether. In the first case it's for "anticarries"-type champions (so generally assassins, or bruisers like Jax/Renekton/J4 who elect to go full damage), buying you some more time/surviving the peeling cc-lock so you can kill your target, then maybe clean up or escape. In the second case it's for champions with HP buffers or high sustain (HP shields, regen, etc.) who can use the passive as a "free" HP buffer to negate/reduce the initial burst of damage, then be too healthy to take down when they move back into the fray. But most of them don't use the AD stats well so it's awkward. | ||

which has a grand total of 13 games played this season. Either he has a hidden account which he plays solo queue with or he doesn't play any solo queue. | ||

Either he has a hidden account which he plays solo queue with or he doesn't play any solo queue. i'd assume that every pro has at least 2 or 3 accounts that they play on. | ||

What? Why? I mean, I suppose if it was Coco or Faker or imp or Meiko or TNT people would be able to say "well, he seems really good in pro games, something just must not translate" or if it was Hai or Lemon or nRated they could say "well this guy is known more for his mind, and that is harder to translate to soloQ". Balls is known for looking like shit in pro games, and is not the primary or even secondary shotcaller on his team. Him performing poorly in soloQ is a glimpse into the reasons for his observed massive falloff in skill, with no plausible excuses. | ||
