Does anyone ever build leviathan?

[quote=theBMB]true, but you make it sounds like a tank is supposed to die, a tank is just supposed to get attention and absorb damage, forcing the enemy team to focus him, but that doesn't necessarily mean he should die. He just has to last as long as possible, if he has a chance to get out before dying, he should take it.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]A tank is kind of supposed to die. If you die and your team's carry got away because of you, you did a good job.[/quote]

[/quote] No, I'm saying that in a fight, a tank is more likely to die than a carry, if he's doing his job well. If everyone's ignoring you and diving straight for your carry then you're tanking wrong. :/[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]and if everyone's trying to kill you but you have leviathan's so you don't die then you just did your job better. I hate Leviathan's, but just saying :P[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]^no. if a whole team focuses you, the stacks from Lev might keep you up longer but you may still die... and then there goes a whole item slot.[/quote]

[quote=Sacull_Kinslayer]The thing I hate most about Lev is it is no where near worth it. I.E. [[Mejai's SoulStealer]] [b]IS. THE. HIGHEST[/b] possible available AP out there. At one time it wasn't even close. Now there is a similar AP item ([[Rabadon's Deathcap]]) that is within 25 AP but nothing else is close to those 2 items AP wise. And if you count Rabadon's passive with itself then it becomes only 21 AP higher than Mejai's. And if you get both items stacked... shudder... With [[Leviathan]] it gives 820 HP at full stacks. That isn't even the MOST HP available in an item. [[Warmog's Armor]] has more STARTING OUT and it snowballs itself. And it gives HP/5! [[Frozen Mallet]] is only 120 HP less. [[Rod of Ages]] is only 190 less. [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] is only 320 HP less. And it makes all your skills slow. The list keeps going. [[Soul Shroud]]. [[Sunfire Cape]]. Etc etc. For HP items there are just plain better options out there. And not just better options. There are PLENTY of better options than [[Leviathan]]. Bottom line they need to improve the risk reward for Leviathan for it to be even considered in normal games. Right now it is just wasting space in the store.[/quote]

[/quote] ya, you're right, I always though the amount of health each stack gives you was pretty underwhelming, I mean two giants belts pretty much covers that and those can actually build into things[/quote]
