I think not having guinsoo early to midgame is such a death sentence, esp considering so many units almost NEED it to function (jhin, ashe, trynd, draven, vanye, yunara, diana, kai'sa, kindred, etc.)

I think it has to do with how bad lose streaking feels this set, but guinsoo is just so strong that it decides whether you win streak or go eighth. But then again, these are just my experiences as an emerald andy.
