Rylai's and Zhonya's

Memeguel420··1 votes·603 views

I feel as if the reason Rylai's was such a good item for mages was that it gave so much AP and Health and slows to keep hypermobile assassins still since mages don't really have any other defensive items other than Zhonya's and Abyssal. I would almost always rush a Rylai's against someone like Yasuo, Zed, or Talon because the Zhonya's is only good if your team peels for you. So how come ad champs have item 3139 item 3814 item 3156 for mages while Ap champs only have item 3157 . I would build Rylai's because I needed the HP item to survive their combo. By the late game the 45 armor on Zhonya's would be almost irrelevant since many of the ad items have lethality as well. That and the 100+ Mr that assassins could receive from the items will be more relevant than the 45armor mages get. Since Rylai's was used on so many mages so often guess they are also getting a nerf on AP.

Or you realize Zhonya's completely nullifies absolutely everything while Mercurial only removes CC (and gives a slight MS boost), Edge of Night only blocks one ability, and Maw only triggers on magic damage and only shields against magic damage?

Yeah but after the Zhonya's duration ends the enemy team surrounds you. It only buys you a bit of time and your team has to peel for you during that duration. If they don't you're just stalling your death.

You don't use it then, goddamn. Also, it's your fault for being out of position in that case, therefore, you deserve to be instantly deleted.

I'm saying that zhonya's relies on teammates while assassins get 3 items that protect them from AP's

BECAUSE ZHONYA'S DOES FAR MORE FOR FUCK'S SAKES

AND ASSASSINS ARE ALL ABOUT MOBILITY, NOT STAYING IN BACKLINE AND WITH TEAMMATES

ITS ACTIVE IS USELESS WITHOUT TEAMMATES THAT PEEL! SO IN SOMEGAMES IT COULD BE GARBAGE!

give up on him, NEP2UNE doesn't play mid, let alone league much at all, hes just a boards troll who masses his points with sheer volume instead of quality.

everything you're saying has some merit, but as it stands now if mages got additional AP/armor then it would turn back into siege only/ avoid all fights/ gutter assassins.

if a mage can survive a hard engage then theres no point in having hard engage.

assassins have as much anti ap as they do for the sole purpose of surviving, because when a mage lands all of their abilities, they're a god against everyone. it literally is suffocating when a mage lands skill shot after skill shot.

Good point, but maybe a slight buff to some defensive ap items something like a buff to Liandry's by giving it 50 more hp. or something like that. Cause many AP items have been getting nerfed this year like Zhonya's, Protobelt, and now Rylai's.

YOU SHOULDN'T EVER BE FUCKING ALONE IN THE FIRST PLACE UNLESS YOU'RE AN IDIOT IF YOU'RE PLAYING SOMEONE SQUISHY

Ever heard of splitpushing? Or maybe just laning in a lane without a support?

Astôlfo1 votes

Ever heard of leaving that to people who can actually splitpush without getting instantly blown up? Or warding? Or having any sense of playing smart? And in laning it shouldn't fucking matter because you and the enemy laner should be the only ones there anyways, except perhaps the jungler. Which can also be avoided through wards and playing sensibly, once again.
