Same for Shieldbash? this work with blitz's mana shield? nullifying orb rune? items that shield?

specifically has many uses. But generally on a champion with shields in their main abilities. is a rune you can run. But it is not in the tree, so for this build, it cannot be used. Also, you trade off useful runes to use under conditional circumstances. Keep in mind that most of the shielding runes are under specific conditions and we want runes that work all the time. Also, I find in games that its hard to get to . So if I'm not finishing my core (which does not include shields), then when would items with shields come into play (by the way I'm winning 90% of the time). However, the items I do suggests that have shields amounts to 2. So why would I run a rune for a 4 or later item that is generally also conditional in activation and I don't usually build? Finally, keep in mind that you would be trading for which is a lot of healing throughout the game. If you were to trade , you would do it for since taking towers is probably the most important objective next to getting your ADC fed. Hope that answers everything.

awesome, thanks for reply. I am not at that level. Playing random unranked and am probably iron or bronze at best. just looking to stay alive longer. lol I will see if I can notice a difference with your runes.

why is revitalize only useful for adc? wouldn't it help with blitz's mana shield?

and would only activate on you under three conditions for the majority of the game: , (not for ), and . These conditions are not common enough that you would use those runes. is on a 3 min cooldown. is on a 4 min cooldown. is generally activated when you are fleeing or early in a 2v2 with a 90-second cooldown and a conditional activation. The bit those abilities do does not warrant the trade-off of the constant benefits from . Besides, the benefits they offer for a single activation are from 5-20 health. You get more health from to permanently keep.

thanks for reply. 5-20? revitalize would be 15% of Mana barrier's 50% of mana? so at least 40 at level 1. I understand what you are saying though. thanks

I would like to point out that it's 50% of mana, not maximum mana. Generally, you are using a lot of mana because a simple costs 100 mana. Without mana regen, you can use 3 before you run out of mana. In earlier levels, the shield is kinda small because of your low max mana and high mana costs. This mana issue is why I go instead of . If my build included more mana related items, then your point would be more justified. Also, there is the whole conditionality argument. I hope my runes help you get ahead and thank you for your understanding.

why would you not take flash

(6) |

Mainly it's because I find myself nearly dying a lot early trying to get kills for my ADC. Not necessarily because of misplays or anything, just I was taking a ton of damage from many sources. There was the option to take , but that would allow them to escape defeating the point of trying to catch them in the first place. My solution was to take and to minimize damage and finish off kills. I realize that most builds would take , but taking makes me more inescapable instead of escaping. I will try and state that outright when I update this guide.

I am honored that you looked at my guide :)

Hey there!

Your guide is really good, you took your time to explain a lot of 's mechanics, you could add some images and icons though.

Well, keep up the great work, it's really a gem in the desert. See ya!

Yeah, going through now and updating all my guides with visuals and stuff. This guide is going to be the last one (in the middle of updating my guide right now. Thx for the input. Hope you will check back when I update this one.

Hey PhoenixianSlayer!
I think we've had the pleasure of talking before. I kinda remember your guide. x]
So today I found your guide and it's really great. I like how in depth it is and that you're focusing on every important information you could give. That's fantastic!
I think there's only two little things your guide could improve from:
Firstly, a threat and synergy section - if not already planned.
Secondly, I would suggest adding some pictures of Blitz ever now and then next to your text for a better readability. These could be skin splashes, ward skins (like when you're talking about warding), fanart... there's so many options, I'm sure you'll come up with something really nice.
But again, it's been a pleasure to look at guide that's so in depth like yours.
Good job, I might check out your other guides too, just because I'm curious now. xD So be prepared!

Thank you, its great to know that people like the work I did. I am looking to find some ways to give a face-lift to my guides. Fruxo game me a link to someone who explains how to make guides look nice, so I plan to update them with that stuff in the future, just later because now isn't a good time. Always nice to get advice though. Hope you enjoy using the build.
