Rylai's Overated in Low Elo?
seems a bit over-rated in low elo.
I'm sure there are reasons for people to rush it in pro play and to favour it over other heavier burst AP items.
But in low elo, it seems better to burst down targets and to just overall do more damage with items like
and
early. Since the rest of your team's going to be scrubs (there's no guarantee your slows will create any oppertunities your team will actually be in a position to use); you need as much damage as possible so that you have a higher chance of deleting targets.
For example, when I play
and
in ranked Silver, they seem a lot more dangerous with an early
or
then an early
.
The slow for kiting seems kind of pointless too since generally I can kite pretty well even without it. And in games where people have abilities that let them get straight into your face (ex
or
), the slow from
applies too late to save you and its much handier to just be able to dish out a full volley of AP blast at close range.
