>cho
>hp tank

now lemme tell you why thats ********.

full 6 stacks at lvl 3 feast is 900 health. take that into effect with cho's unaltered hp and you get a whopping total of 2810. cho already has some great hp what he really needs is some armor and magic resist, not a warmogs.

that doesn't mean you shouldn't get anything that gives health but the priority should be resistances.

See that I can agree on... Someone made a thread about ppl rushing Warmog's over armor and MR. Its one of those things I guess

I've yet to see a build that can effectively reach over 250 armor and magic resist each while also having room for a Warmog's.


This quote is from page 1, but I just wanna point out: Rammus; Mercury's, FoN, Banshee's, Thornmail, Guardian Angel, Warmog's.
Flat MR marks, flat Armor seals, MR/level Seals & Quints of Fortitude.

Job done.~

EDIT: I just quoted something from September o.o Holy lol. xD I dunno if it was impossible at that time or not, but it's do-able now at least.

I usualy get Warmogs (like always) on Malphite :P Just after Sunfire.

For him its a great tool for bursty mages. And tanking towers.

sigil of silence + Mimic will hurt. I would burst down a malphite in one combo with le blanc because he refused to prioritize MR. Warmog's would've been better than all the armor he got.

Anyways, I think warmog's is a good counter to Last Whisper + Void Staff. Make people rage that they still can't kill you even with mega ArPen/Mpen.

Sunfire > Randuin imho but i think that is becouse i tend to bee too offensive with Malph, also it doesnt give you the farming ability, and getting blue buff on Malph is quite crucial.

Consider that when buying a Warmog's Armor vs. a Thornmail, even at 300 armor, you're only getting about .33 effective health per gold more. At 245, more armor/magic resist is probably going to pay off. I've yet to see a build that can effectively reach over 250 armor and magic resist each while also having room for a Warmog's.

Warmog's isn't a bad item. The problem with it is that it only manages to shine late-game, when your armor and magic resist are both through the roof, and then you generally don't have time to farm it up, or the utility from, say, an Aegis or an Abyssal Scepter would just be superior on it.

I get early game MR and AR from runes/masteries. So i dont "refuse" to get MR.

Also LeBlanc can burst nearly anyone with 1 combo... ffs it is 8 damaging spells combo (if you have ignite)
R-R(proc), Q-Q(proc), W, E-E(proc), ignite.

Stacking MR wouldnt help much either :P

I've really only built Warmogs on tank characters I play since the extra HP helps out late game but in all honesty, I'd rather get Leviathan over this since that atleast takes half the time to get due to assists you can get as a tank and it's alot less cheaper.
