Re: League of Legends

Atma's will give you nearly the same damage, armor, and nearly as much crit.

I build Merc Treads, Mallet, Atma's, IE, PD, and whatever else I need, usually among Warmog's, Mow of Malmortius, FoN, BT, and Sunfire. The build has 73% chance crit in it, and getting a second IE instead of Atma's gets it to 80%. It isn't a noticeable difference and I prefer having the armor. I understand what you mean by going for pure damage, but buying an item and not getting its passive seems like a waste of money. Atma's is cheaper and I can use the money I saved on Green elixirs which gives me 8% crit which gets me to 81%, higher than dual IE.

Yeah, and not only that but you can also survive longer than someone with 2 IE's :P
I see the 2 IE Build in 3s, more than 5s, since in 5s Garen seems to be quite the tank in peoples eyes.

Re: League of Legends

Am I wrong?

fyi I have 2 lv 30 accounts though. My other one has over 200 normal wins.

and I don't post advice that much man :P

I'm just poking fun, I don't recall ever disagreeing with you.

But I had no idea you had 2 30 accounts. That was news to me.

I've never played Twisted Treeline. I wouldn't know what works there >.>

Items

Atma's Impaler Health to Damage conversion lowered to 1.5% from 2%
Doran's Blade Health reduced to 80 from 100
Doran's Ring Health reduced to 80 from 100
Hexdrinker passive shield duration increased to 5 from 3.
Wit's End combine cost increased to 700 from 550 (total cost increased to 2150 from 2000)

I think all of these are probably good changes. Getting double doran's items on all carries was getting boring. I like the hexdrinker buff. They're trying to make Mow of Malmortius a premier item. And Wit's End needed to be more expensive for what it gave. Pretty much every solo top was getting it even if attack speed didn't make sense on that champ. It was just too good. And the Atma nerf. People will still probably use it. I guess they're trying to make it well below a top tier item for damage. I can appreciate trying to increase the variety for solo top play. Maybe we'll see something besides tanky dps up there now. Of course, if they wanted something else up there, maybe they shouldn't have spent most of the past 6 months releasing tanky dps champions =/

Re: League of Legends

None of the Hecarims I've seen have really wowed me. He seems to have the Yorick problem of doing no damage on release, regardless of how cool the concept is. The utility on their ult would be better if it always worked, but of the 10+ times I've seen a Hec ult I've only seen the fear like 3 times.

Re: League of Legends

Yeah, I guess the people rush for champions to be out, so Riot really doesn't have time to fix all the little quarks? That's at least what I'm gathering from it. Maybe they'll do a hotfix for small stuff like that.

Re: League of Legends

Make a Gordon Freeman skin for Malz.
His voidling would be a headcrab.
Best idea yet.

Re: League of Legends

been maining shen as top

can anyone recommend be some other tops that can stomp without building too much damage

i'm thinking shen, nasus, yorick - but that's all i can think of
or maybe i should run ap top (vlad, rumble) - what do you guys think ;o

Re: League of Legends

Olaf can stomp top lane with just tanky items. Shyvana's good too. I usually like AP top lanes like Cho, Morde, and Singed.

Re: League of Legends

With Nasus, freefarm all day, get Triforce, and build whatever their team is doing most to you.

Wukong. I've seen them stomp without building any damage at all, although I personally like to pick up a sheen early for stronger harass. Only downside to him is lack of innate sustain.

Re: League of Legends

If you already have a jungle, Lee Sin; Tryndamere is excellent too.
IMO some of the most lethal top champs are probably Irelia, Riven, and Wukong. I like Akali at top because come level 6 you'll nuke them with your q>r combo and begin zoning. You could do the same at earlier levels and place your shroud near the enemy champ, then harass with q and melee if they stay close.
