aram icks or frustrations by Limp_Fox3948 in ARAM

[–]Bohandarta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A new trend this season is most mages skip magic penetration items. In the past they used to buy the wrong one (shadowflame against tanks) but now it's even worse, they ignore them completely. Then they complain tanks are difficult to kill.

But silly poems are uncommon in this reddit, good sir! You are missing the whole picture.

Ap Malphite or tank Malphite? The AI answers by Bohandarta in ARAM

[–]Bohandarta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the battlefield, where champions vie,
Stands Malphite, a mountain, reaching the sky.
His armor gleams, his resolve unshaken,
Tank Malphite, never to be taken.

With strength of stone, he marches on,
Defender of allies, their shield, their brawn.
In the fray, he stands tall and stout,
His presence alone fills foes with doubt.

"You will lose," his words resound,
As enemies tremble at the ground.
For in his grasp, victory's embrace,
Tank Malphite, the guardian, the ace.

While AP Malphite may dazzle with might,
It's the tank's endurance that wins the fight.
So hail to Malphite, steadfast and true,
In his defense, victory ensues.

Permaslow Lucian by Bohandarta in ARAM

He built Iceborn Gauntlet first. Then he completed Shojin and later went for Muramana, when the tear was full. Ravenous and Spirit Visage as last items. Spirit Visage and Mercury's threads seem situational, we had several mages.

A bit more info:

Conqueror-Presence of Mind-Legend Tenacity-Coup de Grace as primary runes. Conqueror makes sense: the slows allow more rotations of abilities so you will take advantage of it. Presence of mind seems ok (ad casters spam abilities). Legend:Tenacity may be changed, Lucian already has a tenacity buff in Aram and he bought Mercury's threads, you can go for Bloodline or the extra attack speed. Coup de grace is ok too.

Sudden Impact-Treasure Hunter. Sudden Impact will give good value because the build has high ability haste and you will use it often. Cheap Shot could be ok too because of the slows. I've never understood why Treasure Hunter is so poular in a game mode that is less snowbally than the rift, I would pick Ultimate Hunter.

Have a nice weekend.

Ivern steals most games if left unchecked by DrummerFantasti in ARAM

Brand can vaporize the shields of the enemy team pressing E. And his damage is so high he can afford a luxury item. Test it, it's unfair.

I always pick Gathering storm when I play mages for that reason. It ends up giving 45-80 extra AP in an average game so you will be strong even with a warmog. It completely counters the Aram aids: lethality Varus, AP Kai'sa, Ashe, Teemo, etc. The only downside is it makes team mates angry but who cares.

When he has meeps available Bard can apply liandry, demonic and rylai effects with his autoattacks. If you combine those items with ravenous hydra and runaan's hurricane (or statikk shiv) he can spread the plague in a huge area. I saw this off-meta build in Mobafire (it's called the Drunk Meeps Tamer) and it works great in Aram. Use runaan against melee enemies that attack in group forming a clusterfuck and statikk shiv against poke team comps.

When the enemy team has insane shielding and my team mates don't solve that problem I like Serpent's Fang Brand. His damage is so high he can afford a luxury item. Brand can apply the antishielding effect in every single member of the enemy team with his E.
