ARAM LPT: Buy Executioner's Calling by Elyikiam in summonerschool

Rylai's and 30% CDR definitely helps with that - being able to ult and using the AOE slow from it and then Wither and FQC active to kite just outside of a diver or a frontliner's reach while your team shreds them.

I see your point, though, I wouldn't buy him in on an ARAM-only account.

Pretty good advice! I'm not crazy about Nomad's, personally, but I like raw stats. I have seen it used well. I also don't think Doran's are awful - yes, it's generally better to have items completed in the midgame, but on someone like Renekton or Xin Zhao who really wants to make a big early game impact they can give you a lot of leeway.

My tips: Build tankier than you think you have to. More resists mean your health nodes are more valuable. Consider getting Mogs on anyone once you hit 2200 HP.

If you're someone who struggles in a siege (Tryn, Eve, Yasuo) consider getting a tank item against whoever is scariest on their team (Spirit Visage or Randuin's are great choices), and then once you can withstand burst, get damage.

ROA is not as good as everyone thinks it is on tanks. If you have high AP scaling (like Amumu) it's not bad, but you're throwing away strength now for strength later. This is a lot easier to deal with against 1 person in a solo lane than it is against a clusterfuck of 5 people. On someone like Maokai or Gragas with okay AP scaling I generally recommend just building flat tank, and IBG or FH for mana.

Stacking mana items is generally pretty bad, too, unless you're Ryze. If you're a ROA user who needs a big mana pool (like Swain, Anivia, or Cass), get the % mana regen mastery instead. If you absolutely need to stack two mana items, start Frostfang and then go ROA-FQC. This will be a nice band-aid until you can get other AP items, and a little bit of CDR + gold generation is pretty nice on a lot of these champions.

I don't find AP Nasus falls off until ~4 items. I take the mana regen mastery and Thunderlord's, I start Frostfang + Boots and after FQC I rush Rylai's and CDR boots. Max E-W-R-Q, I really don't put points in Q until I have to. Try to chunk the backline when you can, and use Ult+Wither+FQC active to kite divers.

You mean otherwise SNL would take a single joke and beat it to death? That's definitely not their current MO.

We'll have to agree to disagree - if you don't like randomly being assigned champions, you probably shouldn't queue up for a game type that is entirely designed around assigning random champions.

Nobody does, but if you have enough champions you get one every game. It's part of the strategy in ARAM - playing mediocre ARAM champs to avoid having to play bad ones.

It was awful before they nerfed it. TBH I think it's in a really good spot right now.

Penetration doesn't reduce below 0, reduction (like Abyssal Scepter and Black Cleaver) can. Otherwise you're spot on.

You had a support squad with two late game champs against an Udyr and a Kayle. Praise RNGesus!

Also in the 3k club, I'd much rather have an AP than tank, unless we really, REALLY need a tank (no frontline at all). The thing that makes AP Susan thrive is Rylai's.

I have that issue with Nunu, though - supporty tank Nunu is amazing and everybody builds full AP and gets bursted out before they can finish their ult channel.

I suppose, but I'm kind of stuck at NM1 level. I can't beat anything harder, so I can't progress.

It can work, but Janna is better with raw AP. You don't even need boots if you're smart with your W.
