Yeah I agree that most of the times AP champs have to get RoA and Cap to do well.
There are definitely other strategies, but they are much more risky.

Taric's manly new art allowed me to go 4/0 and get the other team to surrender at 20:37.
It seems that whenever I play a new champion, I get to go on a three game streak to win. Happened with Amumu last week, too.

I have a question for you guys:
I been trying AD Sona for the lol, but she turned out to be really great with AD build. Core build with Shoe/Sheen/tear, building up to tri Froce. I been enjoying autoattack -> q -> autoattack combo that take out 1/3 of enemy health. Sona's AP scale so bad that the difference is barely noticeable, the only thing she losing is her CDR in her AP builid.
The problem is I don't know what to do after building trinity force, should I get Gul Rageblade for the attack speed and AP, or IE for the damage? Does having to proc trinity force made attack speed a pretty useless stat? Since she has to cast a spell between attacking instead of just spamming auto attack. Or attack speed does help her attack faster even when her cast cancel out her auto attack?
The games I been experimenting either have someone else in my team feeding, or we end the game way too fast before I finish Trinity Force.

Do you guys think AD itemization is good then? Not in terms of raw damage items, but utility.
It seems like AP utility is really good, but there's no straight "what kind of damage am I shooting for" options. While in AD it's the exact opposite.
This might be because of how CDR + AP itemization works. While ASPD + AD itemization is much better mixed and looks more attractive.

1469. Not great, but it's well above average. It's my current rating tooUchip said:

Taric is still totally fabulous, just 90s fabulous and not 80s.

Holy crap Fiddlesticks is totally worthless now. Drain does nothing and his ult is barely does any damage. Way to overnerf Riot.

The sad thing is that they were trying to buff him.

Actually, I thought Fiddlesticks was too powerful before. He'd just pop out and eat a squishy alive, while silencing an entire team in the process.
They did buff he ratios, right?

per tick, or a .12 increase overall. his ratios are 'terrible' b/c all of his attacks hit multiple times. he does a fair amt of dmg to a team, but he can't really burst down a single person unless he can get off a ulti+silence+fear+drain combo on them, which is unlikely. overall, i'd say he took a slight nerf, but not as bad as people are saying.
So, you can't Headbutt>Pulverise, with Alistar anymore... but I have been landing Pulverise>Headbutt all day long. If you Ghost or Flash in this combo is just as good. And if you get a good gank off you don't even need Flash or Ghost. Stun then knock back into turret or teammates.

Who ever did H>P? Sounds counterintuitive.

The new Taric art sucks, imo.

Wait, I just got his abilities mixed up, and completely forgot that Headbutt could dash in. I almost never saw it used like that, but it makes sense. D'oh
caromelo said:I've been hovering around 1550+ for awhile now. Which is pretty good considering that is approximately the top 7% of the ranked ladder userbase. I find it annoying how people start trolling ranked and turn into asshats.
That's what I use normal games for!
normal games are far less fun though
dupe heroes and people are more likely to act like idiots
anyone at 1550-ish level want to solo ranked i am down for it
as long as you have a mic
I main ap and support (lux, karma, sona, brand, katarina)
used to main ranged dps so thats there too (miss fortune, teemo , caitlin, kog)

i got 19ap on runes with all magic resis and armor runes. Get flash and ignite. I start with a dorans ring. I get my W first.
The key is to hit the opponent twice with W before level 2 (they should be under 1/2). After level 2, get your E. Hit with W, hit with a E, (flash here towards them if you think you cant kill them), ignite, auto attack. First blood in less than 2-3 minutes. I usually do this without getting hit once by them (just by minions) so i keep farming until they come back. I repeat my combo and if i run out of mana, I B. Repeat and get fed hard.
My build is a dorans, catalyst, boots, then the rest i constantly change depending on the other team

I'm on the most epic losing streak.
Man this game is full of cretins the closer you get to 30!
Just had one person who rage quit after I called mid (playing Irelia, ended up carrying the team to victory). Then another who, since the team wouldn't surrender, just started feeding. :/
On a happier note Ireila is very, very good.

I hear you man. I been rolling with Shen lately and its frustrating that I feel like my team never does well enough for me to really have an effect. I had like 2 games where we were doing well, but then someone left and couldnt much after that. Hopefully the LoL gods are kind to me the next couple games.FlightOfHeaven said:

I've found less cretins at level 30, actually.
FlightOfHeaven said:
Oh goody something to look forward to then!
Such an epic game just a moment ago. Had Brand crying how he couldn't go mid since I took it and told me: "People like you die young". He then proceeds to die within 3 mins of the game starting and AFKs till it's over. Regardless. This is why Irelia goes fucking mid.
shintoki said:
Brand was simply incompetent rather than a feeder I always found him solo in a lane end game likely the pro matchmaking system at work there again. Hell I've had levels from 7 to 30 in some games.
Me and Tyrand ran as a duo once I hit 17, I tended to soften targets up for him (charge + stun turn on true damage and hope for the best) and he'd get KB's once I'd ran for cover after attracting the attention of everyone on the team.
Still poor. Items like SotD, Wit's End, Hexdrinker are rarely used because they can't be upgraded and because they're too situational. Between Black Cleaver and Bloodthirster, people almost always go for BT because the peak damage is just plain better. IE is also a staple damage item.kensk said:
As for ASPD, Phantom Dancer is also an "obvious" choice, only Starks comes close.
Oh, and let's not forget Youmuu, which is good on everything.
I disagree that Wit's End is useless, it actually has some developing uses that no one at mid Elo gets yet. It's actually a much more common item on Teemo and WW these days. Mostly for shutting down a specific person ASAP.
The point of the lower price point is the utility is supposed to be a tradeoff for endgame usefulness. I actually see that a lot of tanky items are better suited for this (HoG, Catalyst) and there's less in the 1000-1500g item range for AD. While stuff that's useful to AP users/Tanks is much better. Maybe Hexdrinker would be better if the price got dropped and kept similar utility.

Hi, I've been playing an attack speed kog'maw lately but I've been thinking on trying new champions just in case so which ones benefit from these runes so I don't have to buy new ones
Greater Mark of Alacrity: +1.7% attack speed
Greater Seal of Replenishment: +0.41 mana regen / 5 sec.
Greater Glyph of Force: +0.17 ability power per level (+3.06 at champion level 18)
Greater Quintessence of Celerity: -0.13% cooldowns per level (-2.34% at champion level 18)
thanks in advance =D
Edit: been thinking on trying Irelia, Katarina, Warwick, Evelym or Nocturne
