Aegis is an extremely cost effective item, you basically get 4 stats for the price of 3.

A good set of defensive stats and a little AD to boost your damage output.

Let's use Ashe as an example:
Start normally (Doran's blade)
Get boots of choice
grab whichever defensive item will help you the most (cloth armor or null magic mantle)
Build IE and LW as normal
Finish Aegis
Continue rest of build as normal

I can see where it could be very beneficial since two Aegis auras will stack (right?).

This idea probably needs some tweaking, but what do you think of the general concept?

Not a good idea. There's already plenty of reasons to attack the carry.

I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

Hm...

I'm confused as to what you mean....

But if you think it's a bad idea I'l go with you on this one (I almost never play AD carries)

He means that they'll get focused even more because killing them gets rid of the passive aura benefitting the rest of the team.
Aegis auras dont stack either.
And you're damage output will be extremely lackluster all the way to mid game, so probably not a good idea (an extra 8 damage is miniscule)

It should be put on champions you'd normally not want to kill first. So that they could stick around with the aura for maximum efficiency.

Ah. I see

I get that 8 damage is almost nothing.

The only defensive item that won't get you focused is a GA (at least in my ELO and BV gets you ability spammed because the casters are like "POP THAT ****!").

And I thought all Aura items stacked twice but not three times? Or are my friends completely wrong?

All aura items stack but, only if you have one and another ally has one. Doesn't stack any higher than that.

You want aura items on champions the enemy is less likely to attack or champions who will avoid combat.

Like Tanks, and passive Supports.



@Lugignaf:

Aura items only stack once if you have multiple allies using it.
That means you can only receive 2 of the same aura, no matter how many people are using it.

Yea. I edited right after that because I realized my blunder.

so the fact that the Aegis aura is unique is meaningless then? or does that just mean that you can't stack it on yourself as opposed to stacking it on allies
