So I'm reading through this post on a facebook group.

These two guys are arguing over the effectiveness of the magic damage passive of Liandry's Torment

One of them says something about how "even pre-mitigation, the amount of damage it deals at lower amounts of health is laughable".

well ok, I suppose that's techinically true, but you're ignoring the idea of percent damage vs. flat damage.

so I offered the comment: "pre-mitigation, 5% of 1600 or 5% of 400 the percentage of health dealt in magic damage is identical, regardless."

he's got to understand this point, right? it's just basic fractions...

to which he responded: "5% of 1600 is 80, 5% of 400 is 20"

apparently not.

so I said: "Arguing about how much smaller the numerical value gets makes no sense. The effectiveness of the damage, in terms of damage dealt in relation to the current health the target has (premitigation, as you said before), is identical."

this should explain my point, right? this is basic math? oh...nope.…

I updated my Ahri guide really quick last night, its not final nor finished. I just wanted to update the masteries and items for season 3. I didn't get much practice in, my husband is pretty sick so I've been taking care of him.

I'll update my Orianna guide as well when I get the chance.

Question, how is Spellsword fairing? I'm not sure if its used for last hitting, since 5% of your starting mana is pretty low. I noticed a huge difference when I was trying to last hit, I was having a lot of trouble. I can see it being really great on

Season 3 is about to begin and I am looking to put together a ranked team! I can effectively play all roles (except AD carry) so if you can play well and want to be a bit more competitive in your LoL career, message me back on here or add me on LoL (my user name on here is the same as my summoner name on LoL)!

So I've been dabbling with Swain (still very superficially), but I'm starting to get some things. I like how he is now, with the tear and stuff, and I've definitely had some good surprises and stuff. Others, I'm not so sure.


Starting

With my MS quints and the raised ms on champs, I think starting crystaline flask, Faerie Charm and 2 Health Potion is a great way to go. It gives you more lane sustain than boots + 3 pots did and it doesn't slow you that much. Exceptions would be huge Zoners you shouldn't even desire to lane against (Orianna, Cassiopeia)


Items

First off, I wanna start with the good surprises, and I'd say boot enchantments are it. Furor, which gives MS speed on spell damage, felt FACKING AMAZING, altho I'm sure others can be great as well (Flash CDR and Healing Faster in base), these work like a better reverse Rylai's Crystal Scepter, in the way that you're always mobile and tenacity combined with the fact that Swain's damage AoE won't stop it (as they do with Ryla…

This comment, inspired me to do so well on my guide and got me where I am now :3



Still thankful for it <3

Since the Season 3 patch had just been released, I decided to archive my Sona guide for the moment. Reason being is so that I can freely adapt to the new changes without fear of the need to meet a deadline anytime soon. Should be unarchived when I finally feel comfortable with the changes.

On a different note, Season 3 is scary D: I'm dunno what to build on her anymore.

Summoner's Rift

Hey everyone, just a small notice. I have archived all of my champion guides until I have the time to update them with Season 3 masteries. Since there is a new builder as well I might just never unarchive them and start new guides.

My review shop will stay but I will not review guides until I consider myself having sufficient knowledge of the new items and masteries. You can apply for a review but I will queue it up until further notice.

My columns guide is unaffected, while my general guide to LoL will stay up because most of the info is still relevant. Will update the masteries ASAP.

Thanks for understand and I hope you're looking forward to seeing my guides in a new jacket!

EDIT: On second thought, I have archived my general guide to LoL as well since more has changed than I thought at first. Will update it with correct info as soon as I can, kinda busy atm with school.

So today I played more LoL and this was my best game today,ik ik some of you ranked people will be like pssssssssh that is nothing but I'm still very proud of myself :3

I guess you could say I had 16 kills because my bf ks from me xD

anyways,I thought I did good :S

*edit* I had three defense items bc mundo was getting really tanky and doing a lot of damage and morgana was getting stronger at the very end,so I needed stuff to water her down. xD

Alright you ****s, let's get down to business. Now, as many of you know, I'm in diamond elo right now and heading up to 3k elo. How do you know I'm not lying? WELL OBVIOUSLY I AM! That is irrelevant though, I am here to bring you a quicky of my 3s cho'gath build as a silver elo man of fortune. While this may look like I trolled, I can assure you that it is legitemate and the fact that I made it while trolling is totally irrelevant.

So without further ado, I bring you BEST CHO BUILD NA/not EU cause they're not worthy. Actually, I'm only showing you the items so you can go and use it. Trust me, not only does this build work but it's hilarious to listen to people's reactions. HI-LARRR-IOUS-ahem....enjoy.
Cause I'm a lazy ****, I only worded the items. Deal with it.

Start: Boots + Ruby Crystal
3 Ruby Crystals + Giant's Belt
Overlord's Bloodmail + Giant's Belt
Haunting Guise/Ionic Spark (doesn't matter, just whichever one you can afford)
Frozen Mallet (I might change this to a different i…
