How was your day? - League of Legends edition

[Raul]

strongly recommend looking at rune pages for 1800+ ad carry mains

bruisers are debatable, the point of them is to pomegranate out early/mid game stats... so if they have high base damage skills, arpen could be better. or if they have reduction skills, especially % based.

but dude, idk where the hell you got this idea... ive run flat damage over arpen as an ad carry main for over a year.

And what percentage of players are 1800+ Elo?
Oh right. Less than a percent, iirc.

Did I claim the best? No.
I claimed the majority. Froggen is one of the best AP mids in the world if not the best, yet if you try running the builds he runs, have fun with that.

[Aynia]

also if you're going to play competitively, the game changes completely

enjoy ur gold per 10 quints and seals

First game: I'm vlad mid with Yorick top and Graves/Leona bot. Leona spent the majority of the early game whining about how Graves kept going in balls first. Around the 15 minute mark she was 0/5 and Yorick was 1/6. Fine. Things happen. We could turn it around if people stopped getting caught. Yorick continues to facecheck bushes while Leona gives up and intentionally feeds. Woo that was fun, especially after my team refused to surrender. Yorick ended up like 1/10 and Leona ended up like 0/11. SO FUN.

Second game: I'm alistar bot with Ezreal. Xin jungle, Ahri mid, Panth top. Panth doesn't connect and stays disconnected the entire game. 4v5 woo! Meh, just surrender at 20 and move on to the next game things happen. By the 20 minute mark I'm 0/0/1, Ez is 1/0/0, Ahri is 3/4 and Xin is 0/4. Their Darius is 6/0. Both top turrets are down and mid and bot's outer turrets are also down. Well, they definitely win this. But guess what? "WE CAN WIN THIS GUYS DON'T SURRENDER WE MIGHT AS WELL TRY TO WIN"
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF pineappleING GOD DO NOT MAKE ME WASTE MY pineappleING TIME PLAYING SOME STUPID pineappleING 40 MINUTE pineappleING GAME THAT WE OBVIOUSLY CANNOT WIN. THEY TOOK BARON. TWICE. AND ALL 3 OF YOU STILL REFUSED TO SURRENDER? REALLY? HOLY pomegranate pineapple BALLS YOU GUYS ARE IMBECILES THAT WAS THE STUPIDEST pineappleING WASTE OF TIME EVER.

The majority is not always right you know.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

AD: You can last hit easier which makes laning easier which makes your end game better/come faster
ArPen: This is only beneficial in team fights really. Not sure how much of a difference it makes either

If you can't last hit with ArPen though and you're delaying your item build, arpen will be worthless as you'll fall behind.

I'm not talking about advantages and disadvantages of arpen reds here. I'm talking about a realistic situation in which we will have an AP Yi. That is, nowhere above 1400 Elo.

AP yi is actually a very viable mid

[Raul]

AP yi is actually a very viable mid

Show me a silver-ranked AP Yi. I dare you.

[Aynia]

AP yi is actually a very viable mid

Also flat ad is almost always more advantageous.

Friend of mine named meowzor played ap yi exclusively until 1700 on his smurf catachu

that being said ap trist is better than ap yi in almost every form so she's much more common

ap trist is a very viable mid. esp now, apparently her e passive procs on skills which is craze

Sees semi common use in top elo. Even hotshot plays it~

People at lower elos have more difficulty CSing from poor mechanics. AD reds are even more useful there.

[WillDaSnail]

Revelant to what Aynia said:

[Raul]

Yet they're run even less.
:ooooooooooo

[Five Second Pose]

Yet they're run even less.
:ooooooooooo

Which is why most of them are still there.

[Raul]

Which is why most of them are still there.

Yes. I'm not arguing viability. I'm arguing common.

[Aynia]

People who use armor pen must be seriously retarded. Unless you're stacking the pomegranate out of flat armor penetration pomegranate sucks. (And even while stacking flat armor penetration pomegranate still sucks)

Pretty sure everyone swapped over to flat AD.

God knows all my friends have.
