rip GP patch 6.11. Crit on trinity force will be missed

Sahn UzalJun 4, 201614 votes

The champion still works, IE second item feels pretty awkward now though, so I've been building Trinity force > BF sword > Zeal > Finish IE.

And being unable to get 100% crit chance is really fucking abnoxious. I just played a game as GP, 80% crit chance, nailed a 3 barrel combo on the enemie MF doesn't crit. I flash AA (stattick Shiv Proc) doesn't crit either.

OMG I DIDN'T CRIT, WHAT IS THIS RNG Basicaly that's rng nowadays

MarshbouyJun 4, 20162 votes

i have no idea why they made that change. Trinity was pillar to a lot of champion's kits, now its barely a "trinity" anymore

Sahn UzalJun 4, 20162 votes

Trinity force is indeed an important pillar to his itemisation. Which is a large part of why IE Second is so awkward now.

I'd love to see Riot ad an item that GP can build second, to close the wound the Triforce change opened. for example... 50 AD, 20% crit, 20% AS, and a passive that gives you more crit chance when building attackspeed.

Like how ER gives you CDR for building Crit chance. This item obviously wouldn't stack with ER, but it'd really help GP and Corki out, since ER now overcaps CDR for them (ER gives 30% cdr, TF gives 20 on it's own...) out ;p

MarshbouyJun 4, 20168 votes

Yep. I'm afraid champions like Tryndamere would get crazy.

Sahn UzalJun 4, 20166 votes

Tryndamere gets 30% crit chance for free item 3087 = 30% item 3031 =20% Passive = 30%

These 3 already give him 80% crit, the item would just straight out be a waste of money on Trondlemire

MarshbouyJun 4, 20165 votes

hmm. Maybe crit+as jax? Crit irelia? 100% crit ADCs everywhere. I dunno but i think reverting the trinity change is best here

Kindred 5/0/7 item 1419 item 3111 item 2032 item 3022

''wtf Kindred, why do you have Frozen mallet''

EDIT: If you get really ahead as Kindred, and the enemy team is 4 melee, immobile champs, yes... yes, I rush mallet....

DREADN0UGHTJun 5, 20163 votes

Given you can kyte, it has its uses vs immobile champs. It won't do much vs shit like Diana fot example. U are better off with Maw or steraks.

"Max W first on Sona "

No.

(You want the early harass of your q early, and the mana cost increase of her heal early hurts)

Sahn UzalJun 4, 20161 votes

I know jack dick about playing Sona, but isn't W max a thing in certain matchups? if you are Sona Vayne vs Caitlyn Zyra for example... Your Q ain't gonna outpoke those people, and Vayne just wants to farm anyway, wouldn't you max W to help Vayne out with that lane sustain? :p

Then again, I don't know anything about playing Sona, so I'm not claiming it's a thing you should do ;p

MavenSongJun 4, 20162 votes

Using w too often makes you go OOM super fast. Leveling hastens this. That's a case of lane won via champ select more than likely.

Also remeber that they have no sustain and we would, so it would be a hell of a war of attrition. Itd be a difficult matchup, but id still max q first (hell 90% of the time I Q > W > Q> E)

CanidaeJun 4, 20164 votes

I actually do that a lot on Sona. You lose out on the Q dmg (i only put 2 points in till W's maxed), but when I rush item 3070 on her, you end up having enough mana to sustain your adc in lane fairly well, which helps a ton in lane. But yeah, unless I get that specific item on her, it's really hard to go W build.

now figuring out what order to level skills early if I still want 2 pts in Q....that's a whole 'nother story.

octarine core aether lens zeus can evaporate everyone from 1500 range every time someone come near him.

Faceroll TacticsJun 5, 20161 votes

Are those items new?.... Haven't played Dota in a year or so but my favorite heroes were Shadow Fiend, Templar Assassin, and Zeus.

KONO RUBICK DAJun 5, 20164 votes

yes they are, octarine core is the only cdr item in the game (with 20% spell vamp not reduced for aoe damage) making zeus hard to kill

aether lens gives you % bonus damage on your spells and bonus range on active spells.

The amusing thing about Vlad is that as long as an item has AP and/or HP, it's good on you.

Granted, there are definitely some items that are better than others (items that have CDR, Spirit Visage and Rylai's are just better than anything else on Vlad, etc...), but the general idea is that it's very, very hard to build poorly on Vlad. Full tank Vlad is viable, full AP Vlad is viable, a mix (my personal preference) is viable.

You have to be a special type of stupid to fuck up building him.

I'll admit though, I personally snub item 3157 on Vlad. You already have pool as your safety spell, and the stats are better on other items. I personally take item 3742 for my armour item, which gives me more in the defensive department as well as the nice ms. I don't think it's bad, it's just that Zhonyas is primarily an anti-burst tool, and no one bursts Vlad.

EDIT: I'm also biased because the 4.11 changes didnt result in Zhonyas active + pool turning into a glorious puddle of piss. Pictured below: disappointment.

Side note: you could make it worse by putting in items that are melee only, so your atrocity is even more useless.

Rank 6 Gangplank (Gimme my Blue essence dammit) item 3078 item 3009 item 3748 item 3053 item 3142 item 3812 Or if I need to kill tanks and duel less: item 3071 item 3036 Sell boots for item 3046 Almost every game: Silly teammates: GP wtf why do you have 0% crit? In case you forgot, has no crit anymore Silly teammates: So? You still need crit? Gangplank Not gonna get 100% again with triforce, switching builds Silly teammates: omfg then don't get triforce and rush a shiv [zombie-brand-facepalm] Then I do no damage with Shiv rush and my build path will really suck Silly teammates: You need crit though, so get some damn crit Fine, I'll buy item 3046 after I sell my boots Silly teammates: something along the lines of "omfg this GP is a troll/idiot/bronze5/report, etc etc etc"

End game: Gangplank More damage dealt than FOTM mid laner and ADC, most CS in game, and most kill participation

True, if you feel like there are going to be plenty of early skirmishes. But getting it after mallet or Maw is not a bad idea neither.

I was talking to a Gnar I was up against in the post game, saying GG and all and we were being friendly. I told him I was working on the last mastery level 7 token I need for Garen.

He proceeded to give me advice on how to handle the matchup. It was wrong advice too.
