I typically run Absolute Focus with double AP shards. Against mages that outrange you, is it better to run cejerity and movespeed shard? Does it make enough of a difference for dodging skill shots? Do you need to rush tier 1 boots for it to be worth?
I struggle with assassin match ups like Fizz and Naafiri.
I normally rush Rylai’s with double mana runes and teleport. I want to run bone plating against assassins, but that means I would need a mana item.
I feel building a mana item before Rylai’s delays your power spike a lot, and Blackfire makes you squishy against assassins.
I’ve thought of taking barrier, but I really don’t want to give up TP. How bad is it to go ROA first?
DFT seems good in theory because Sol does DOT damage, but if you actually look at the numbers, DFT favours champs with low CD single target spells, and champs that have a lingering DOT effects after casting a spell.
Comet is better in lane because it does more damage with Q taps. Q taps only apply one second of DFT because it’s a DOT, so DFT does like 3 damage.
DFT has no CD, but DFT damage is half on Sol’s base Q damage, not including the %HP burst. So every time you Q tap you’re using 35 mana to do like 6 damage (not including scorch). It’s better to save your Q taps just for Manaflow procs and last hits (and Comet). DFT only out damages Comet in lane if you can apply DOTs for over 4 seconds continuously on your opponent, which is rare and costs a lot of mana.
People think DFT is a scaling rune. For reference, on Sol Cut Down will do similar damage to DFT, and that’s a minor rune. DFT also gives you less damage than the tier 3 omnivamp boots.
From my testing, Comet will give you similar damage by the end of the game to DFT. However even if the numbers are similar, I’d argue the Comet damage is more valuable because it’s normally focused your primary target.
A lot of DFT damage is trash damage. Doing 60 damage to three different front liners is not as valuable as doing 115 damage to a target you’re trying to kill for your W reset.
The damage on DFT is too low to justify the loss of damage on Q taps and general single-target damage from Comet.
Briar gets banned a lot in my games, so I’m looking for another jungler that plays similar to her bruiser playstyle.
I play PTA Titanic-Cleaver. I have more of a facilitator playstyle, using her CC and damage reduction to create space for my team.
People say WW and Noc are similar, but they only seem similar to carry builds because they have very low CC.
Which champs are similar? I was thinking Voli because he has CC and a similar burst pattern.
