Official Season 3 Theorycrafting Thread

[quote=bitpik]I feel like haunting guise and its upgrade are pretty overpowered at the moment. Vladimir just got ridiculous this patch.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I don't think the nerf to Shurelya's was that bad - most people bought it for the active, not the stats.[/quote]

[quote=CantaGallo]I've played just a game with this new patch picked [[xin zhao]] in jungle and i started with the [[Hunter's machete]] some pots and a [[sight ward]] ... I found too risky gank top after red so i placed my [[sight ward]] and backed for boots and another ward .... In early game i discovered that farming the jungle and at the same time, harrassing the lanes truly hard and a new challenge... i totally missed the new jungler item building from the machete and i went for [[wriggle's lantern]] , [[black cleaver]], [[trinity force]], [[atma's impaler]] , and homeguard [[ninja tabi]](which gave me a double kill on some felons under turret) and almost a [[warmog's armor]]. We won the game, but till mid-late game i experienced many trouble. early game score ( 0 4 1) to ( 8 12 17). Masteries was 21 9 0 Any tips? Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts, i read often the forum :D[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I've been testing out [[Infinity Edge]] into [[Statikk Shiv]] then [[Runaan's Hurricane]] on AD carries. Thoughts? Also, any thoughts on how [[The Black Cleaver]]'s non-unique passive basically means you can stack four of them, get 1000 health, 200 AD, 40% CDR, and 60 flat armor pen while applying the full 25% four-stack shred with one tick of physical damage?[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]The Black Cleaver is op atm on [[talon]] if you stack it. About IE +´Shiv + Hurricane, dunno. Saw a [[graves]] do well with it, but that game wasn't a real exemple of a normal game. I guess it could work due to how it builds up critical strike? --//-- I've tried [[iceborn gauntlet]] on [[diana]] and it actually worked out pretty well, but could be because it's [[diana]]. What do you guys think? I usually got Q+R (procs 1) + E (procs another) + W (yet again) and seemed nice. Any other AP's that might use this well? (tried on [[akali]], but Rylai feels better on her)[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]actually iceborn gauntlet seems great on diana and is definitely an alternative to hourglass if you want armor gonna have to test that[/quote]

[quote=Anastasios]Would Iceborn be good on Elise?[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Ask Khazem, but I would think so, I felt that sometimes I had issues sticking to targets with her, although now you have furor enchantment for that[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse][quote=Jebus McAzn] Also, any thoughts on how [[The Black Cleaver]]'s non-unique passive basically means you can stack four of them, get 1000 health, 200 AD, 40% CDR, and 60 flat armor pen while applying the full 25% four-stack shred with one tick of physical damage? [/quote] Same in other Thread... It doesn't need to he UNIQUE in order to allow you only one shred debuff: Buying multiple BCs simply stacks ONE debuff faster.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]The issue here isn't the stacking armor shred, but rather the fact that you can stack it to get more AD, health, and more importantly, flat armor pen and CDR.[/quote]
