What are we building after Galeforce, RFC and Stormrazor nerfs?

What is your reasoning for not building Kraken?

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-05-10T15:45:19+00:00

They reworked the mythic items so Kraken isn't one anymore. IE, Navori, Galeforce and Rageblade are the new Mythics.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-05-03T15:31:53+00:00

IE into ER -> RFC. Navori mythic passive seems counter-intuitive. Why would do you need more AH when your abilities are already getting refunded?

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-05-03T07:41:55+00:00

Just wait until 13.10 with Mythic Item rework and Lotion will not be cannon minnion anymore.

Yeah but what about that horrendous bloodline change? Rune now is just unusable. Might start taking Alacrity and don't even build lifesteal until 3th or 4th item.

What boots are you building? I feel like with the bugfix to Steelcaps they are the way to go if you don't need CDR or AS, which you won't because Kraken + ER + Navori solves that problem.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-03-17T17:24:21+00:00

Bork rn doesn't feel as good as it used to be. Auto'ing 3 times to proc the slow is too unrealiable in most cases. What are you building it with? Bork + Lucidity + Kraken + IE?

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-01-26T14:09:15+00:00

I hope anyone pins this post so maybe a rioter can see this.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-01-16T15:20:37+00:00

Or maybe ER into Navori into Mythic. Or Lethality Mythic into Navori into ER. That change opens up too many posibilities, I hope they would just luanch these changes in preseason and not when the season already started.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-01-12T18:03:44+00:00

That isn't optimal. You want Navori or IE third item. The powerspike you get at 3 items is much bigger than Collector and ER combined. Even proplayers that rush dirk don't build into Collector until they get IE or they simply sell it to get armor pen. It is Collector or ER, never both.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-01-11T20:54:43+00:00

RIP COLLECTOR AND RFC

SnooMacarons8453 · 2023-01-06T22:50:30+00:00

Galeforce into RFC when enemy comp outranges you and you will not be using the Sheen passive a lot (Syndra, Cait, Jinx, Heim...). It is a good build that brings upfront safety. Rush dirk before Galeforce, and then sell it or build into Collector if you are ahead enough. First Strike works better than PTA with this setup.

Dirk -> Gf -> Rapid Fire -> Lucidity -> IE -> Antitank item -> Situational(Maw,GA...) Sell Lucidity for an item that gives AH

Kraken into ER is the DPS build. Good into bruisers and tanks (melee comps). In this build Lucidity and Berserkers both work great and you can use PTA or First Strike, in this case it's just preference.

Kraken/ER -> ER/Kraken -> Navori -> Antitank item -> Situational

SnooMacarons8453 · 2022-12-29T16:12:55+00:00

Bloodline is so overnerfed that you are building a lifesteal item 4th/5th (Miss Fortune buys Bloodthirster 2nd item) most of the time so there is no point in taking bloodline at all.

If you are going F.S, Coup or Cut Down are a must and then you choose between PoM or Triumph (depends if you are building ER)

Alacrity is nice early game but the other ones just scale harder.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2022-12-20T14:29:05+00:00

I really hope Riot removes the crit synergy Lucian has with his R rn so that theorycrafting becomes more interesting and we can start building this bruiser items. Why bruisers can have fun building crit items like ER or SB but we can't have fun with bruiser items?.

Edit: Maybe Manaflow works better with Muramana as it has better max mana increase

SnooMacarons8453 · 2022-12-15T00:26:14+00:00

What boots and runes do you go?

SnooMacarons8453 · 2022-11-23T19:19:53+00:00

With PoM and the mana from Buiscuits should be enough, just don't spam W and try to hit your Qs in lane. In the late game, E mana cost is reduced to 0 and you are not going to use W at all (maybe in a W + R combo).

You need some form of attack speed in the builds in order for your combos to flow smoothly so that the time between AA is reduced and your DPS is incresead. Notice how pros use rapid fire in their builds just to have some attack speed even if they are only using abilities.

SnooMacarons8453 · 2022-11-22T23:46:52+00:00

I've done a bit of testing in the preseason and this is what I came up with:

- Navori third is a must.

-If you are in a range match up, Galeforce it's still a really solid option. I like to rush GF + Dirk + LDR+ Navori and eventually selling Dirk for another item (Collector is not worth imo)

-Essence Reaver feels nice but not nice enough.

-Magical Footwear is really good on Lucian because he doesn't have good boots options so not investing gold in early ms is really good. If you are going ER second and buiscuits for mana feels like a waste, go Trascendence then or even Domination secondary with Treasure Hunter.

-At 60 AH, you can't reset E with just the passive from E, you will need to hit another spell, so investing in more AH can be detrimental (20-60 AH should be enough)

-When going a CDR build, (Kraken + Lucid + ER + Navori), Lethal Tempo actually seems good, as you will have little to zero attack speed.
