WHEN SOMEBODY IN THE ENEMY TEAM IS KNOWN FOR THEIR SUSTAIN/HEALING - BUY GREVIOUS WOUNDS

Peristant·12/5/2016, 1:54:41 PM·97 votes·4,064 views

I am litterally sick of people refusing to buy an 800 gold item as AD item 3123 when there is somebody in the enemy team who is sustaining in teamfights like a mofo...

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't just proceed to building your generic build path everygame, you need to itemize depending on the comps...

Shhh, don't tell them that. It's funnier when they fight inside of Illaoi's ult and all die without even scratching me.

It also works on the opposite ADC since you know, Bloodthirster, Death's Dance and Botrk are all items.

Had a game with enemy team Mundo, Soraka, Akali, Rengar, and Vayne (with bloodlust). No kidding.

ADC buys Lord Dominik's regards.

Garen item 3031 We need a tank. [Sup] Shen Ok. Fiddlesticks We need engage. [sup] Leona Ok. Varus They have a lot of right-clickers. [sup] Malphite item 3110 Ok. Katarina They have too much sustain. [sup] Rammus item 3110 item 3165 Ok.

[Team] /all Report Rammus for trolling. Didn't pick a support. [Sup] Seriously!? F you all . . .


Some things in LoL, are on pro builds. For everything else, F the support there's a slave Support for that.

Im sick of that there is only two items that give GW

item 3123

item 3165

As a AD Top Laner anything that builds out of item 3123 is worthless to me.

"YOU NEED TO ITEMIZE DEPENDING ON THE COMPS"

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT I WANT TO YELL IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.

The same can be said from champion select actually! As soon as you figure out who you're against or even just see the full team, look at your summs for laning phase AND teamfights. Could they be better? Is ignite really going to pay off or would barrier be a better choice against that bursty Talon, Fizz, or Kat? Maybe even Cleanse, holy shit people there isn't only Flash, Ignite, Heal and Tele (and Smite, obv). You're meant to adapt your champion and play style to every single different composition. It's not the same shit every game. This is why ADC's cry every game with not a single resistance built against the currently super bursty mages (esp. with the removal of Aegis' aura, so I've heard.)

One for all against Fiddlesticks. As Cass, I was the only person on my team to prioritize building a Morellos. It was a sad day.

Personally I think they should just straight up remove item 3036 so that ADs are FORCED to buy the grievous wounds item the same way APs are. It's clearly the only way to get people to buy it since nobody in the game has any idea that that little heart-with-swords icon means.

Special note; Also works against fed Rivens with 60% lifesteal!

One day I randomly decided to play Kayle top lane. Got laned with a Mundo. 1st item I bought was Executioner's Calling. Then I just went with Kayle's build path. I went with a Hybrid build that game so I didn't get nomicon, granted I like Calling more because he doesn't need to be at 40% HP before taking its GW effect.

I have never had that problem in ranked lol

in this thread, people who think wasting 800 gold on an item with poor stats is going to let them beat that sustain lane, when in fact the sustain lane just kinda chuckles because now they have the stats advantage thanks to items which are actually budgeted correctly.

item 3165 Grievous wounds is around every game anyway

Actual conversation i had in game a while back

Caitlyn Omg, i hate Soraka, turns bot lane into farm simulator 2016.

Karthus Just get item 3123 early and you're golden

Several minutes later

Caitlyn OMG, I can't kill Jinx, Raka and her item 3072 make her immortal

Karthus Just start going into item 3033 and it won't be a problem

Several minutes later

Caitlyn Top, MIA!? Vlad fed and Mundo unkillable, and Raka healing them even more, I can't do anything.

Karthus (already built item 3165 ) Maybe get item 3033!?

We lost the game because our Cait afkd in fountain complaining about game balance the rest of the time. Never bought item 3123, despite the fact that there were FOUR people on the enemy team that were using excessive healing. She already had item 3085 so item 3033 would have giga wrecked the enemy team in any team fight, but no, afk in fountain was apparently a better solution.

I never buy this item because after my main damage item item 3078, I always build full tank regardless of the enemy team comp.
