It seems that if sustain is inherent in a champion's kit it takes a lot of power budget away from the rest of the champion,
however, it also seems that sustain hardly affect the budget of items.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
TheKemperor1 votesHow so?
macromite1 votesMany sustain based items have a lot of power in non-sustain facets, but most of the sustain based champions are consistantly trash through the seasons.

Vladimir does extremely well. I really can't think of any other examples right now.
macromite1 votesVlad is meh, he is a low range mage with sustained based damage and a lot of tools that are not as effective as his enemy has. his power budget is very clearly affected by his sustain. Another good example to look at would be trox, who has all of his power budget locked up in his sustain even though his sustain is only marginally stronger than a normal carries is with the same build.

Vlad is meh? Every Vlad I've ever seen hits like a truck and can outheal nearly all damage done to him... to include the jungle ganking said lane and assisting. Old Vladimir wasn't a big deal, but the new one has some extreme healing.

What about Swain? He is not popular but he can heal a ton. And he is also strong. Mundo, maybe? He was good jungler and I think he still is.
Could you explain it a bit better? I think I don't get the point. Or I am just stupid? xD
