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....

"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)

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.

Rank 6 Gangplank (Gimme my Blue essence dammit) item 3078 item 3009item 3748 item 3053 item 3142 item 3812 Or if I need to kill tanks and duel less: item 3078 item 3009 item 3071 item 3748 item 3053 item 3036 Sell boots for item 3046 Almost every game: Silly teammates: GP wtf why do you have 0% crit? Gangplank In case you forgot, item 3078 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 Gangplank [zombie-brand-facepalm] Gangplank 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 Gangplank 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

One of the best megatrons easily. Prime was so good compared to some other versions. Also, nobody ever gives me advice on how to Chogath , not sure why though.

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.
