I generated a lot of gold.

Dangerous Man··15 votes·1,588 views

I played Maokai top and made the 2nd most gold because I realized there's a synergy with Zz'Rot and Banner with Ancient coin. If you let ZZ'Rot/Promoted minions kill things with an ancient coin, it gives you gold twice because it counts as an ally killing it AND you killing it. So if your Banner minion kills a siege minion, you pick up a coin and get ANOTHER 25g (40g with medallion+) on top of the siege minion's gold. I made more gold than the 7/2/10 Warwick by 200. I made over 2300g with my 3 gold generation items+Kleptomancy in a 25 minute game, killed 2 turrets and 3/4 of the inhib turret. https://i.gyazo.com/e06aef92ca662d0a8bac75afb13a1a48.png Also, you take item CDR+cosmic insight for obvious reasons.

Just a fun build that makes it really hard to lose. Doesn't have to be Maokai, you should probably do this as a support or any tank (because you'll have 200 armor and 150 mr total after 2 items). I'd also recommend Zilean because I used to do it on him all the time and just never die.

I wish more crazy creations came out like this still, I kinda hate how optimized the game feels now.

Inb4 ADCs and Ezreal will start abusing it

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

Only Ezreal. It's not an on-hit item, so Lucian won't abuse it. And you wouldn't catch any ADC but Ashe dead buying any support-like item.

However, Fizz, Ekko, and Yasuo will be able to go bruiser again with it.

People said the same thing before bruiser/assassin item rework. And look where it got us :P

Cool find, but are you already wanting to run Zz and Banner? If so, this is helping to pay for them (you need about 120 gold coin drops to pay off those two items at Medallion's rate), but if your strategy doesn't include Zz or Banner's effects, that's a lot of farming to get a return on the investment gold-wise.

Nah no need to return them, if you play the champions that I recommend, then you should keep them. Otherwise there's no point.

That's actually pretty cool, thanks for the tip

If you're curious, my ancient coin made 1070g even without getting any ganks.

Hum, so Inspiration+Domination Rune page? That's a bit squishy, no?

Did you one of the two 'tank' pages that gives 100HP squishy?

DeathBurst1 votes

Except you can't take Cosmic Insight and the Rune giving the +100HP at the same time, and your set bonus is purely Adaptive AD/AP. So no, you don't get any Tank stats, neither HP nor anything else from the Rune Page described by OP.

But you just stated inspiration isn't a tank page. Not him.

In my first comment, there was a quote from OP. A quote saying "you take item CDR+cosmic insight", to which I replied, "a bit squishy". All of that is just above here, check for yourself. And all of that is true.

Don't put words I didn't say in my mouth, and don't pull my words out of context either, thank you very much.

He is building tank items with cosmic either way. You are saying runes make or break something. Kinda silly if you ask me. Cosmic with Leona is ridiculous because of her hard CC. Besides Sorcery and it's shield, the secondary page is usually Inspiration.

Secondly, you listed Domination. If you can tell me what tank rune is in that page, I may reread a third time. And not put words in your mouth a third time but instead, state exactly what you said and deny.

you need to reread a 4th time lul He said a tank rune is in one of the 2 pages, not both.

See? That's exactly the problem. I never said "Runes make or break". I asked "a bit squishy, no?". With a question mark at the end, you'll notice.

Secondly, I listed Domination because that's where the Item CDR Rune is. You know, the Rune OP is talking about, which I quoted to make extra sure I was also talking about the same Rune as him. I never said "Tank Rune", you did that, not me.

Now get out, re-read a 4th time and leave me alone. I don't have time to waste with you.

you need to reread a 4th time lul He said a** tank rune is in one of the 2 pages**, not both.

You both are in denial.

Now the problem with this build is that it insinuates that you are not pushing hard enough to get ganked, which you are. It insinuates that you powered minions and zz'rot minions are not dying fast enough, which they are. It also suggests the Item CDR is huge enough to make a difference, which it doesn't except for a second Portal. However, this implies that the PORTAL is being protected and not destroyed, which usually it would be between a wall and the tower. You will get punished hard for doing this against a smart enemy jungler.

Second problem is you are required to have decent team mates and a snowball matchup. If you don't get kills/assists, you can kiss your build goodbye.

No time to waste, I said.

If you're going to be tanky, resolve is not a requirement tbh you only need resolve for aftershock/grasp. If you really want it then swap out inspiration (not the 40% item cdr at 5 bounty stacks, that's too useful)

Once you have a couple items, I totally agree. But how do you survive through the early with Inspiration?

Many many potions, or just die and beat them by being 200 gold ahead regardless of them winning. That's how I beat Akali from being 0/2. You just gotta out-gold them.

Ohhh, seems like an interesting oversight. I must test this. It seems like this combo would be best used on Thresh since he uses Gold Coin and can't use Knight's Vow anyways. So he has room in his build for it.

EDIT: I can't tell if this increases the damage or not, but you can use Nunu's Blood Boil to increase a Voidspawn's AP value...

nobody knew that? it's been like that since the beginning of the coins dropping lol

It's more "nobody thought to exploit it" than "nobody knew", but yeah.
