Well, a lot of the time I have bought FoN instead of Banshee's for a carry because it is cheaper, has more MR, and has awesome HP/5. The shield is good, yes. Great actually. But any smart person will waste a spell just to get rid of your shield. Just my preference.

I find that it is better sometimes to get one or two really good core damage items for your carry and then start up some defence if you have to. That is the object of core items. The few items that you will always be able to use, no matter what the situation.

I usually get QSS instead of Banshee's, unless I vs Karthus, Ashe or Ezreal.

#1 Player Mindset as a Carry:

LOL IMMA CARRY, I NEED TO BUILD MORE AD/AP RIGHT. YA **** DEFENSIVE ITEMS EVEN THOUGH I GET FOCUSED AND DIE IN .2 SECONDS.

TBH, I used to have that mentality, and I'm sure A LOT of players that started off had it also. It just takes time for everyone to 'learn'.

yep exactly, however some champions who are more of the assassin type and backdoor alot prefer not to buy many defensive items, and example would be Wickd's Master Yi... he builds him 100% offensively goes in after the team fight has ended and gets a penta kill in ranked trolololol

Except for Ryze, he can go RoD, FH, and Vanshee without taking any loss in offense.

I used to do that with Sivir until I learned how to build Warmog's/Manamune/Atma's/Banshee's. Now I can't die and I still push lanes hella quick.

I used to have that mentality, but only because it works SO WELL during leveling. Honestly, I was barely to never focused in teamfights when playing as a carry. In fact, I all of a sudden started playing a bit of tanky DPS and now I buy at least 1 defensive item no matter the character XD.


Thanks to The Nameless Bard and Vavena for the sigs!
