Wards and Magic Resist: Are you high level? Not what your build says.

How can you be level 30 and not buy wards to keep yourself alive? I main support and I have to say that after watching even the lowest level ranked games, it seems that people "don't" buy them as a matter of principle. It seems that a lot of players think a ward is a dirty object that they dare not have in their items. And many people think the further you are behind, the less you can afford them. In early levels, a ward cost about 4 minions? Over the course of the game the ward cost stays the same while the gold on a minion increases. It seems like the longer the game goes you should see an increase in ward purchasing until carries reach full build.

MR, it's not just for breakfast anymore. What slows your build down more, buying a piece of magic resist or BEING DEAD? I don't think people know they can sell it once they are rolling mid to late game. People seem to build to their standard Items regardless of who is fed or who they are laning against. This game is simple but its not THAT simple.

First one to Infinity Edge is the winner, is that it? Weird... Katarina seems to think she is the winner. Oh look, there she is behind you. Tell her more about how you are carrying so hard. Don't worry about that spin. I'm sure she's just dancing.

I'm not going to spend 75g every 3 minutes for something that may honestly do absolutely nothing

HOWEVER

THERE IS NO REASON WHY ANYONE SHOULD BE AGAINST BUYING item 3361 FOR A MERE 250G THAT PROVIDES TONS OF WARDS ALL GAME LONG!!!

75g for peace of mind that could result in avoiding a gank or getting a free kill, is well worth it in my opinion.

Low Elo can't CS for Jack. If they actually invest in wards, they will fall behind the Jungler/support, or other person who doesn't need CS. That's my theory anyway.

I don't really get why people don't get MR though. Though people have complained about MR being weaker than Armor, their is more options for MR. MR does not even need to be that strong considering AP is mostly burst. If you can survive a mages combo, you have a good opportunity to play with.

I can't even begin to detail how ridiculous it is that people never buy MR outside of tanks and fighters. MR is for every champion, not just certain roles.

It actually depends here as an adc or apc if your front line and support is doing a good job of peeling you go ahead buy all offensive items however if not buy some mr and some armor.

That's why it's called situational building. :D

You shouldn't expect to get no defense in every game. Few things piss me off more in this game than when someone is 1-9 and working on a Void Staff.
