Why are so much junglers nowdays going for...

[quote=Vynertje]As the title says, I see a lot of junglers right now going more offensively by rushing [[spirit of the elder lizard]] - even when they aren't even ahead of their counterpart. Is it because tops now are full tanks and supports get more income or does it have something to do with the jungle styles now as well?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]From what I heard, it just helps do damage and farm jungle. It improves your sustain, since you're doing more damage, and it helps clear time 'cause your auto-attacks do more damage from the AD and the true damage. Even faster if some of your abilities are AoE and do physical damage.[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]In addition to what lugi said: Pros started using it.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]Well thing is, a lot of junglers get it when they aren't ahead causing them to be way to squishy while not dealing massive damage either.[/quote]

[quote=Napoleon D]Because I want the MR from the [[mercury's treads]] but i dont want double tenacity.[/quote]

[/quote] Personally, If you're behind at that early of a stage at the game, you've basically shown that you got crushed in an invade, or you don't have the skill to keep up in your current match. Regardless, you definitely shouldn't be rushing a damage item like that if you already have solid sources of damage and your team desperately needs a tank. On someone like Vi it works for early game, but if you don't have a tank you definitely don't want to get anymore damage items but that one. The previous reasons stated are correct. But you should also keep an eye out for who is doing it, because you'll mostly see people doing silly things like that if they are below Diamond/at the lowest stages of Diamond.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]I always get it on [icon=Jarvan IV] J4 due to the synergy with [icon=Ravenous Hydra] Hydra and the fact it just offers more sustain as a result of the new [[Spirit Stone]]. Additionally it just helps you snowball and clear a lot faster which in turn helps you snowball.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Isn't it partly because [[Spirit of the ancient golem]] was nerfed before preseason as well?[/quote]

[quote=Darealone][quote=Janitsu] Pros started using it. [/quote] ^^ This...[/quote]

[quote=Hannul]I used it all the time for the sweet sweet true damage, cdr, and AD. When it stacks with the actual buff the true damage can get horrific. Still wouldn't build on a tank, only offtanks or full retard damage ADs[/quote]
