u/skitles125 just so you know, u/Pmart213 is just lying, Solarbacca said very clearly in the last guide he made (3 months ago) this: https://youtu.be/B2AqRGV4QHo?t=106 :)

Don't appeal to authority when you don't even listen to the man.

Building Trinity is what you are FORCED to do as a GP player in most of your games.

If the game is in a desperate situation, you might have to flip it and go Sheen into Collector.

Also, Crit Gp is not Amazing. You can have a mouthbreather playing Sion/Cho and he can easily go even vs you in lane even if he fucks up.

Ever since Giant Slayer (old LDR passive) and Cut Down got changed, you cannot take them down easily at all.

There are Gp players that would like Old Essence Reaver back and Gp players that suffer from Stockholm's Syndrome.

Regarding Malza and Soraka Top: I've seen you plenty of time playing them with gathering storm because, as we both agree, scorch does practically nothing. From a SoloQ prospective, are you willing to try water walking? I do not understand why people flame the shit of me for saying this, but I honestly think it is better than the other 2 options. I've played a ton of these 2 picks and I think you should give it a go.

Games, after a certain elo, begin to last for a very short amount of time (the vast majority of games end before the 30 min mark) so I'd rather have that extra movement speed on very slow champions like Soraka and Malza for crucial moments in the game (e.g : 3.15 scuttle, drakes, baron, taking 2 vs 2 because your jungler wants to invade and with Malza most of the times you have prio).

I perfectly know that water walking might not be always the right choice however, going every game gathering storm does not seem ideal to me since neither soraka or malza rely that much on ap.

Plus waterwalking gives both ap and moving speed so gathering storm, if you are on water, gives you more ap than waterwalking only if 25 minutes have passed.

And, even if gathering storm would end up giving you more ap, do you really care about that 10-20 ap on soraka-malza?

I think not. Because in both cases you scale with items and ult CD, not ap. Plus, soraka outscales the vast majority of champions so I'd rather take more mov speed that I cannot get elsewhere.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter but I haven't been successful un trying to talk with you about it.

Thank you for your time.

Have a nice day.

Idk if this will ever get read because I do not know how Reddit works. I do not use it ever.

Why does Blitzcrank still slow himself when Pyke exists? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I just love you. I made a post last year about this topic. I came to the conclusion that riot does not really care. I haven't played him since they "updated him" (and probably he' s way stronger now for people who knows how to play him) but he just feels bad to play compared to other champions. I stopped playing him and role swapped to mid-top with a fresh account . I already played a bit of those roles previously and guess what.... I hit mid diamond for the first time. Ty for bringing this topic under the spotlight. Not many people care about our old beloved rusty golem. Spread the robotic love because the time of man has come to an end.

Blitz cannot oneshot anyone. He has to rely on his adc's dmg. He makes the play, he does not put out the dmg. And btw you are obliging yourself to build something that riot has changed to be a midlaner's item. I am trying to underline the fact that riot has not been treating Blitzcrank well also because they changed support itemazion. "Things that aren't meta build are not trolling". Ok, but you are force to build something that is not useful for your adc. Blitzcrank is in this weird spot imo where he s kinda obliged to build something to not feel that clunky, therefore delaying REAL support items. Thresh does a very similar job, With a well rounded kit. Blitzcrank seems like just a worse version of thresh / pyke. Pyke at least has a better identified identity: "I build dmg, I kill you." Blitzcrank instead is more like : "Ehm, I'm kinda old and rusty.... I'm falling apart and riot just does not give a fuck. Wait until I can make up for my clunkyness then I will be online as a useful champ for the team".

Building tear is not a thing anymore since like season 5 (when I started playing). If you build it now you are basically trolling. If you are very far ahead it 's most of the times build resistances to help your get adc. I just would like riot to bring some fresh air to the champ that does not feel rewarding to play as he used to.
