NA server, I don't know how europe is but D5/D4 is literally just people trolling around and playing stupid shit, people dying every minute. D3 is people tryharding and playing whatever OP champions you left open and game speed is 5x faster | ||

1) Play Shen. 2) Buy Locket. 3) Buy Face of the mountain as 4th item. 4) Shield your carry for close to 2000. 5) Laugh as your carry all of a sudden is a tank. 6) Laugh even more if your mid is Lulu and your carry is the most tanky champion in the game. I honestly dont understand why Face of the Mountain haven't been picked up on tank tops in competitive it's so flipping broken on farmed tanks... | ||

FotM might've been better there on gragas since it 1) makes him tankier than mikaels 2) double mikaels+QSS is pretty over kill on the cleanses. understandably there was a gnar, lb, shen, elise but still. Even then I still dont understand why it isn't picked up on those dive champions as a lategame item, it's +10% EHP that can in a pinch be used to save someone. Additionally it can potentially heal for 400+8% max HP when grouped with someone since you by that stage will usually as a toplaner be sitting at 4 stacks. It pretty much singlehandly give non-utility champions utility. | ||

Rapport Ted." is why. It's one of those things that people will flip out about whenever it loses unless it becomes a big trend. I've only seen 1 person do it at the pro level, and that was Dandy once while playing Nunu in China. | ||

While a very small sample (3 Shen games with it) my teams been loving it, granted it's after the initial wtf when they see the buy in teamchat.  Maybe it's too out of the left field for pros to pick it up and they'd rather stick with what they know work? They weren't afraid to go for the smite toplaners tho. On October 12 2015 06:45 krndandaman wrote: that's the point though. you don't pick these champs for utility. now if you were playing a utility tank top like say maokai or shen, then yes having more utility+tankiness is exactly what you want from your item buy. but from the gnar, darius, renekton, olaf, etc's, you don't want utility. you want stats that A) help you split better B) help you stick better C) makes you tankier. FotM only helps with C. Good point. Such champions have to be more "selfish" in their item choices. Could be an interesting as a "throw on adc just before you go ham". On October 12 2015 06:26 Alaric wrote: The "potentially" in your second argument means it never happens. Even if you point out to people it's more gold and you can actually heal them, they already rarely pick up on it in lane phase in soloQ, so when talking about instaclear mid-lategame stage... It means it can happen. If it's a beneficial bonus every now and then (albeit rarely), it shouldn't be ignored. Yes it's a fringe case. But if it's an item you buy every facet of it should be kept in mind. Overall I think it has an untapped potential in coordinated teams. I'd definitely consider it as a potential core item on Shen at least. | ||
