Loved it! Not many people understand the concept of more CDR = more damage! Loved the guide, your explanations are completly logical and, well, haters are gonna hate, 'only AP' purists will scream 'noob' guide all the want, but truth is that this guide is more pro and well-throught that all else.
Have you examinted the new item? Athena's unholy grail looks awesome for this guide, I mean, AP,CDR, Mana, Res and 2 mana passives? Suddendly, it became my main AP item!
Congrats on a good champion guide!



Thank you very very much! Felt really good to read your comment! Really appriciated.
As for the Grail, read the comment above this one.

Keep on surfin'

Great guide. Possibly some tips on what to do against certain characters you might encounter in the mid. Just something i saw on other guides that i liked. I apologize if you addressed this in the guide and i missed it.



Thanks bro!
You are not the only one who asked for this, so I will do this in future! But lately I am very busy, not even finished my other guides. But I willa dd another section talking about counter measures vs certain mid champions! Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems that 6% spell vamp of runes don't have so much benefit.
Early game's karthus Q can deal 80~150dmg so the amount of heal will be 4~9 HP per Q.
15 Ap by AP runes seems to be much better.

Fantastic guide, it really worked out. i just have a question though. SInce not long ago Deathfire Grasp was buffed, would i be able to use it in this guide instead of, say, Morello's Evil Tome?
