why the fuck would you rush deathcap anyway? it's bad until you have another AP item

darkestkhan2 votes

Even then it is beaten by item 3135 ... there are so many nice mr items nowadays [item 3139 now gives you lifesteal... so you get mr AND sustain in one package, plus nice active]. The reason why void staff is nice is due to it also increasing your base dmg, low price and the fact that most apcs don't have above 1.0 scalings... if you got 0.8 scaling, and your target has 50% dmg reduction then you can say that increase by 100ap increases your dmg by 40 points.

Of course veigar wants rabadon but he is the only one I can think of that really benefits from it.

My only problem here is that they rushed deathcap of all things.

Like, yeah I get it sometimes you don't want to build sightstone in a normals match if you're just goofing and playing an APC kill lane, but...

Deathcap? Isn't FQC better for the active, passive (boosted poke), and gold gain?

what about item 2301

wards mana sustain cdr ap extra poke damage health

gives everything you want on an ap champ really i mean an item with cdr and manasustain is soemthing you will buy anyway so why not one with wards

IcyPepper1 votes

I dunno, the FQC active is pretty nice...

... but I think Brand can survive without it.

That's not support brand. That's second mid Brand. What's odd is going off that Brand's player history with certain champions they'll build SS, while others they don't even bother. Weird.

That's what confuses me.

i know it's frustrating but he doesn't have to build sightstone. it's nowhere written in community guidelines that you have to buy that lol. you can also get sightstone on midlaner, on jungler. or all 5 people on your team. and all get blue trinkets on top of it if you want.

Wouldnt it be easier to just get the warding trinket?

Why AP Illaoi? That's not even fun because it does nothing.

Ikr? No AP scalings.

Tentacles deal physical damage but proc spell effects. Between Rylai and Ice born gauntlet and the E slow it was easy to chase. And the Liandry of course dealt % hp damage.

Imagine a cross between nautilus' CC with Illaoi's base damage and sustain.

But i've got 550k mastery as illaoi so i get away with quite a bit.

CeexSett1 votes

I understand the reason, but do you consider that fun? Full AD, full attack speed, full healing, all those seem funnier to me.

TTK Dreadnought1 votes

Watching an ekko top struggle to escape my grasp was pretty funny.

And i did post another picture of a full AD/Crit illaoi too. did a E+W (no nearby tentacles) and a Q and killed a fed jinx and then i did a W on an Azir which happened to crit and killed him in a single hit somehow.

Yes. Normals is for having fun and goofing off and treating league as a GAME so you can do whatever. Ranked is for people that wanna win and get better

^ in normals you should still be trying to win

warpenguin5551 votes

Cool. i should start playing AP Illaoi and AP Zed then because "just normals"

LBB4121 votes

If you want to, go ahead :)

Sona x Rubick1 votes

you're sure you will have fun with ap illaoi?

cause with full ap brand as a support i can imagine things.

Athenes Lulu2 votes

Oh come on going full AP without a sightstone is already bad enough, not even AP midlaners rush deathcap unless they're bad.

Hell I think even a Liandry's or even Rylai's rush would've been ages better lmfao

who cares about normals

Teslyn1 votes

that guy is consistently the lowest damage in his games... its a sign he doesnt know how to harass or trade right.. but he is silver 5 and he is just trying things..

If you have no vision, then everyone is to blame, not just Brand. Other players get free ward trinkets, so they are expected to use them.

normals = practice

When people do this in ranked I feel like it should be reportable.

warpenguin5551 votes

Lemme guess, no pink wards bought either

You dont need to see, what will soon be dead

Supports should build sightstone, but in a normal game it doesn't bother me too much.

In general a lot of silver and bronze supports don't build the item at all, even in ranked. When I play on my smurf vision is typically really poor.

Death cap is a pretty bad item to rush on brand too, so they mudt not be very familiar with brand at all.

Why do you need vision if the enemy is dead?
