Thresh could also grab an early longsword for some bully potential, and late game turn it into a Zekes Herald. If we're running something like Thresh + Nautilus + Cho'gath, we can really split the support itemization up and allow Thresh to build a little bit of damage. | ||

If we're running something like Thresh + Nautilus + Cho'gath, we can really split the support itemization up and allow Thresh to build a little bit of damage. The issue I see with straight rushing Manamune is that there were multiple times where the extra health from catalyst saved my ass, allowing me to grab the double kill on their solo and jungle ganking. I could see it being done if their jungler is Udyr or something so I don't have to worry about the gank as much. As long as Thresh's Q passive stays as is, I think a little damage could be useful if it can be afforded in the build. | ||

Her q is a whole lot harder to hit than zyra's e but it practically guarantees a kill during laning if your adc is well positioned. Also, I feel her burst is slightly better and her shield is very strong in the mid and late game (if you max it second). Her ult has nothing on zyra's, though. | ||

Lets say both Ryze and Thresh grabbed an early longsword (they know they'll be building them into things) and both took the 5% tower damage mastery, that would mitigate a lot of this inability to damage towers. | ||

with Nami support as she can pretty much go support like normal after setting up the camps for your AD jungle. Jungler taking no damage is pretty huge. | ||

That's true enough, but I think it's bound to let you guys have some fun too. It's part of why we play LoL and abusing funny bugs feels like it should be #1 in a place named TROLLS | ||

We could have Friday for goofing off in an in-house setting, having fun, testing rando stuff, and then on Saturdays or some other day pick something we've tested that actually seems legit and test it in the ranked 5s with stream and etc for an hour or two. We did the ranked on Friday because we magically had exactly 5 people. I had a lot of fun with the ranked game and would like to do more, but if we have 10 people for goofing off we shouldn't be like "Screw you guys, we're gonna do ranked games." | ||

Zyra doesn't have a shield (which totally fucking rocks early trades. Shield self + your carry, twice ~2-3 sec apart while fighting? won that fight.) Lux has her place. Obviously she doesnt have an aoe teamfight/disengage ulti, but she has a place. | ||

I think Lux has her niche, but it would be fair to say that she's only on-par or better than Zyra in a very limited set of circumstances. She rides a much finer line than Zyra in terms of effectiveness, if you fall behind or get crushed on Lux that's fairly fatal to your later game utility (the same is not true of Zyra).

Testing is never ruled out during the week. However, I already have a lot of obligations with specific, immutable time requirements (e.g. MwM and other things), so I'm not really keen to add another inflexible commitment. If players are around for TL RnD during the week we can certainly try and play some. | ||

The build in my head contains malady, nashors, deathcap, abyssal scepter, hourglass and ofc zerker's greaves. I'm so going to test that shit. Unfortunately cho is melee range so if you build that you are going to blow up instantly. | ||
