Ionic spark?

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=Keltocdragon] Yet the second top champ is Ashe....okay [/quote] 97% of the League of Legends player base is under 1500 elo. Don't trust the majority, most people don't know what they're doing.[/quote]

[quote=MyRepublic]Keltoc just because people build it doesn't make it a good item. How do you not understand that? I mean being ignorant is one thing, but this goes beyond ignorance.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher][quote=Nighthawk] Teemo, Shen, Shaco and voli are the people who use it. I don't think Shyvana can use it. Also if you want to splitpush with Shen Ionic Spark allows you to do it faster then SFC. Although yes, SFC is better for Shen in general. But if you want speed, Ionic Spark is where it's at. [/quote] When it comes to splitpush shen, there are two options. Sunfire rush (i'm talkin boots 3 pots, giants belt, chain vest, sunfire cape, amazing against AD, especially when you're winning your lane) or ionic spark. Personally, I L-O-V-E sunfire cape rush, especially against 3 ad (ad bruiser top, ad jungler, adc bot). It makes your practically invincible early-mid game. I've playtested ionic spark, and I've had mixed results. I've never used it effectively when I've lost my lane. I feel like the lack of defensive stats can really hurt shen if his team relies on him to 'be the tank' or if he's getting pushed around/abused. At this very moment, I don't build ionic spark on anyone, but I feel like the only champ that can use it well is shen. I don't play volibear, but I see it working. Also, people, don't feed the trolls. Kelto is small and confused o.0[/quote]

[/quote] Whoops, guess I should check my numbers before I start repeating them. :P EDIT: Unless the 97% included unranked players, in which case we might both be right.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]I love how I was FP, essentially summarized when Ionic Spark works, everyone after is essentially re-iterating what I've already said. GG.[/quote]

[/quote] The thing with SFC is that it's useless if they have AP top or very little ad damage early game. Ionic Spark isn't the greatest defensive item, but you don't build it for that, you build it for your pushing power, that's like the only reason you build it. You push much faster with Spark than SFC. Also, Spark Teemo is really good, increases his early game damage, splitpush, and even gives him a lil bit of defense too. Really nice.[/quote]

[quote=Keltocdragon]Thought this thread was for if Ionic spark was viable, not weather it was better than sun fire cape...at splitpushing..huh....o well Go with what works and enjoy the game:)[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]I wasnt high. I was freaking out that the coding was jacked up for some obscene reason. In all seriousness, voli, teemo, and shen are the champs that i see it being actually useful for, and shen usually has an early wits end too. But you should probably end up selling it once several of the towers are gone to buy something else more useful.[/quote]
