Untraditional builds. Viable?

[quote=Searz][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] Jungling Soraka DPS Kennen (which does work) AP-tank Malph AD/Crit Nidalee[/quote] The only one of these builds that work is DPS Kennen. The rest are crap compared to their normal roles..[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=Searz]The only one of these builds that work is DPS Kennen. The rest are crap compared to their normal roles..[/quote] I've Jungled Soraka with success quite a few times, you just have to know a good jungling order for her. I've played with AD Nid a few times, but not enough to be able to tell... I've done the malph thing before and I like it, but it requires a good team.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]They are crap compared to their normal roles regardless of if you've been able to play that way successfully. Soraka is a slow jungler and a useless ganker=bad jungler. Nidalee has 2skills that scale with AD and 4 that scale with AP. She's also got lots of short CDs so she can easily proc Lich Bane all the time for extra damage when built AP. AP is by far the superior choice. Malphite gains damage by just going for armor and should thus not stray from the tank role. His ult is not fit for an AP caster, his E is not fit for an AP caster, his W is not fit for an AP caster. Only his Q works for an AP caster, but since all his other skills are simply meant for a tank.. [[Abyssal Scepter]] is the only AP item that works on malphite.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]^ Pretty much. Soraka's Laning presence is HUGE, better off in the lane.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]WHat about Malph ult for AP? it gets 100% and Zhonya's is good on him too since it boosts his E[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]2 seconds of Zhonya's is 2 seconds you can't be tanking! v Right... yup. There are better armor items to get though, that's more for an actual caster.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]She means the armor boost. Which gives, what, 5 extra damage? EDIT: Just checked. It gives 25 extra damage. Not that great.[/quote]
