Patching up your 5.22 wounds
Hey there everyone. With the Pre-season out, I’m here to show you guys a few spectacular combinations that you can incorporate into your games with all of the changes that came in.
Everyone’s crying and tending their wounds, but good ol Louie’s here to give you some stuff to ease you.
These are combinations that I found to be very powerful
Without further Ado, here’s the first combination:
Windspeaker’s Megaphone: (Taric, Sona, Soraka) (Mastery Tree) Not only is this combination of Masteries on these supports in particular very powerful, but they use Runic armor in order to stay and trade more often than other supports, as they amplify their self heals as well. Not only that, but they amplify restances by 15%, giving you a good edge during the laning phase, beefing up tanks mid to late game really hard, and combined with Ardent Sensor on Soraka and Sona, it can give champions like Vayne the right amount of survivability to smash through and achieve the ace you’ve dreamed of.
Fighter’s Dance Moves on the Death Floor (Riven, Renekton, Darius) With the upcoming Item changes and additions, there’s one item in particular that is going to get tons of attention: Death’s Dance. Combined with champions that want to skirmish often and need that extra edge to stay in the fight enough to survive, Death’s Dance fulfills that role super well. Not only does it provide a Spell-vamp like effect but for Physical damage, meaning that any spell that does physical damage as well as auto attacks heal you, but it also mitigates 12% of damage taken into bleed damage, meaning champions that can heal/shield themselves during fights can try to wiggle out of dieing. The biggest beneficiary of this item is Renekton, as he can reliably heal with his Q, but double down on it as well, giving a spectacular amount of healing, especially during those big team fights.
Flashy Puppy Boots to jump around in the Map (Nasus, Irelia, Jax)A very particular change that has been talked about, but not focused on alot is the changes to Sheen.Sheen now gives 10% CDR, and no longer gives AP. What does this have to do with Boots?Well if you add that into the fact that champions like Nasus will be building Triforce and Ionian boots, you get a beef cake capable of having a strong map presence and low cooldown on his q.Take into consideration that Ionian Boots now give 10% cooldown on your summoner spells. If you add that to the 15% reduction from the mastery tree, and if you opt into getting Distortoin boots, you have your summoners on a considerable cooldown, allowing you to show up more often than anyone would like, and letting him split push hard simultaneously.
