That build is closer to tanky DPS but there's nothing wrong with that.



Ok, so what would you change it to be a Skarner offtank?? Or maybe Skarner is not a candidate for this style?

This guide is almost 1 year old and is still legit. Grats Duff :p


Thanks man xD


Very nice, loved the article. I actually used a lot of these features while I Taric(Not the Trinity but the realization that HP isn't the answer). I initiate as a support occasionally and ward the whole map alone without a guide or carry. When your playing low ELO like you said people seem to think having 4k hp with 30 AR and 30 MR make you a tank. Made me a better support reading this.


Cheers man :)

Lol, you're REALLY lazy if u can't even check that... Anyway, here the question comes again: (This is the question)---> Would you mind uploading some more videos when you play?<---(this is the question).

If you don't notice it now... Then you should check if you need glasses^^ And just in case you need glasses:
(This is the question)---> WOULD YOU MIND UPLOADING SOME MORE VIDEOS WHEN YOU PLAY?<---(this is the question).

Lol sorry, when you get literally thousands and thousands of comments it becomes a bit of a chore to go through them all to find comments, but I've been considering the uploading of some videos.

I'll give you a definitive MAYBE! :D

Cool, I hope you will :D.

What do you think of Nasus as a solo top champ? I really like his Q because it scales with kills (Yes, i have sion and veigar too) but it feels like I'm just not strong enough most of the games and that I should have picked shen instead. I feel that I can't play that offensively since he doesn't have a gap closer or a good sustained damage compared to other champions. It's kinda annoying, do you know what the problem might be? Is Nasus just outclassed by other solo top champs or do I just fail :P? And I usually farm my Q good, at least I think so.

Excellent guide, I really appreciate you putting this up. I've read through the comments and noted you and others saying that Jarvan/Irelia are no longer optimal, and that Trinity is no longer solid for Irelia. Wondered what champs you think make solid offtanks, especially which ones rock as Tri-Tanks. I've had a lot of fun as Jarven, but I love improvement.

Great guide, +1. I only have problems with some of the builds for your champs up top. Instead of a Force of Nature on Blitz, a Manamune works sooo much better. He will be dishing out lots more damage and his passive will be doing more damage, for just the price of some Mres and hp regen. Blitz' hp pool isn't that fantastically high, he can't make such good use of the passive. Irelia and Jarvan are built a little too defensive to be effective. Sub out the Warmog's on Jarvan for a Last Whisper or maybe a BT if you feel adventureous. And onhit/ad Cho, really? It isn't too effective. Maybe a Rod of Ages instead of that Warmog's, tons of health for that Atma's, but more mana, and AP for his abilities and his E. And just one question, not a complaint, why Ninja Tabi on Irelia and Wukong? Mercs should always be built on Irelia to make that passive better unless you're against like Fiora, Gragas, and like Corki, or some other team completely devoid of cc.

Thanks for the +1! However, I sincerely disagree with pretty much every single thing you've said in your comment. It sounds like you're still pretty new to this game. Once you're more experienced, you'll start to see when and why to buy things like Merc Treads and Ninja Tabi, and how there is not "One item path" EVER and it's really bad and sheep minded to think that there is.

Nasus is too weak in lane phase. I don't play him for a reason :) Even with a charged Q his end game isn't the best. It's just good.

Well actually people have been using J4 again recently! :)

To be honest, the trinity tank method was the counter to a dead meta game. This guide is more like a historical artifact at this point :P

You bad? Watch your map and don't get owned by enemy champions.

The game is on your shoulders, not your team's shoulders. You cannot trust 4 random dudes to call MIA, and even if they do, what does that even mean? All it means is they're missing. It doesn't tell you where they are.
