QSS is usually not bought due to everyone forgetting they HAVE a QSS if they do have, or else because their item build will be compromised (etc Karthus or anyone who likes stacking stuff : 5X Archangel + Rabbadon).

Then again, AP Casters usually take Zhonya's Hourglass for survival, Tanks/Trollers (to the other team) take GA, Tryn takes Undying Rage (Lol) while the rest just runs and bait the 1st 3 groups :P
Amumu Guide :D

Eve guide :D

Hope whatever I say helps! :D

PS : Not all my criticism is good. Most of the time, I just talk like that anyway. So forgive me if you get offended, unless you just can't look from my angle, or at least close enough.

whoa....


How did I not know how ridiculous this item is?

brb buying every game


Silly goose.

QSS should be a mandatory for everyone but tanks and bruisers/supports that are built tanky (since they will likely have the resists to be able to sit there and play damage sponge while CC'd) unless the enemy team has a serious lack of CC.

Tryn, for example, is vulnerable to CC. A common strategy to bring a Tryn down is to Exhaust him, CC him after he ults, and tag him with Ignite right as his ult ends (since the typical Tryn won't heal until AFTER the ult ends and a high level Ignite will easily power through the half-strength heal he'll get.) With a QSS, you can do any number of things to stop this from happening. You can break the Exhaust, allowing you to cause damage normally. You can break the CC during your ult, giving you time to escape (or continue causing mayhem.)

This applies to pretty much any hero who is squishy and does not have a baked-in Cleanse like Gangplank. Best thing is that QSS isn't especially expensive, so it's not too hard to put one into your build that game without drastically altering your normal item build.

It's a hugely underrated item.

Most of these skills aren't even worth buying QSS for.



I only buy Quicksilver Sash when there are TWO or more of the following spells on the enemy team:

Children of the Grave
Hemoplague
Nether Grasp
Diplomatic Immunity
Infinite Duress
Soul Shackles
Idol of Durand

There may be a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Buying QSS for normal abilities isn't worth it because the cooldown is massive.

It's less than 1500 gold for an item that provides a large chunk of MR and also gives you a Cleanse. You should buy one at any time you feel the enemy team has enough CC to warrant having one. If you find yourself eating CC chains, you should buy a QSS.

The cd is 60 seconds Jun, not sure what your saying. It's almost always a better buy then banshee's if you all you want is the ss since you get everything banshee's has and more for half the price and a 20 second cdr...

Ahue, copy and paste it wherever you see fit.
@Jun I'm just saying these are the things that it CAN remove. Not saying you should pop it the second karma leashes you, just saying that these are all removed.

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.
