I miss being able to build off-meta, you're not allowed to have fun anymore unless you want to int

I miss doing things like full movement speed , but if I did that now I wouldn't do enough damage and would be serving myself up on a platter for anyone breathing in my general direction with how fucking squishy I am.

I miss doing shit like full AP , but if I did that now I'd just get nuked to high hell by some braindead point and click assassin before a single Q even hit the floor.

I miss doing AD , but that got completely gutted and has been practically removed from the game because Riot in their infinite wisdom felt making him revolve solely around his stupid point and click suppression instead of being in charge of an army of minions he could micro-manage was a healthy and well thought out plan.

So many fun options have been removed over the years and it's just fucking miserable having to play the exact same thing over and over and over again because doing anything else is practically trolling with how overbearingly outclassed it'll be by some no-life meta-slave

Please tell me you see the irony of this post right?

"no life meta slave" and there you lost all sympathy you might have gotten, oh well you tried I guess

AD malz...

You can't just build movement speed in this game either. Unless you're building serrated dirk, you're actually building to Zilean's strength if you build AP items that also give him movement speed. That's an actual good build on him.

Soraka heals more the more AP she has. Her W has an AP ratio, so building some AP on her is good. Building full AP is stupid. The reason the AP ration on her Q is relatively low is because it ALSO heals her. It shouldn't have too much power.

AD malz is just plain stupid. No AD ratios on him whatsoever and his base attack speed is frighteningly low. Not only that but he has slow animations for abilities so you won't be autoing much.

I think you're lacking a fundamental understanding of the game's systems and don't know how to diversify builds as multiple ways to play champs have INCREASED in the new rune system due to keystone synergy.

Soraka for instance can actually go down resolve, and get bonus base health so she can buy warmogs early. She can also go down inspiration to take klepto and have more sustain in lane, or she can take aery and just straight boost her healing. There's tons of shit like that in the game now.

I recall riot staff stating that ad malzahar would be okay after the mini rework, so just build him ad anyway and if anyone complains , just direct their attention to the staff.
