So, I played a game where I almost never had to go back and I could buy a deathcap as my first item. I'm wondering, when is it appropriate to rush your big "late-game" item like that?


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

it's pretty much standard for many glass cannon casters.

yeah, rabading****s gives the largest chunk of ap of any item, which is why its pretty standard to grab it first.

also wtf how did you manage to stay in lane that long? o.O

Gragas/Garen lane vs Tryn/Fiddles.

Gragas barrels are a hellofa drug. Got FB in that lane too.

It's generally not worth rushing Deathcap since it doesn't give that many stats for the gold cost.
ROA is usually best in solo que. Only if you're playing with teammates you know can protect you should you should rush Deathcap.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.. or both.

Rush a deathcap in solo queue pubstomps. If you want to end the game quickly(pretty much: if you are playing annie) you should rush a fast deathcap for a ****load of AP and burst that just can't be matched mid game. However, casters who rush RoA are going to have a much greater impact later on. Rushing a deathcap is pretty much a high-risk high reward build. I do it every game as annie and cassiopeia, most of the time on brand, and prefer to rush RoA on all other casters.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

Yea, true.

But I find it hard to do anything (well, hardER) in solo que without a little bulk. You just get focused and die when your teammates don't bother assisting you.

So, the way I'm understanding this is, "In solo it's bad but in premades, it's ok," right?
That match was mostly premade but the Garen I laned with was a random.

I wouldn't really judge it so much as a choice based on what you're que'in or who with.

Base it game by game. Are the enemies squishy? Cause Deathcap barrels on squishies is like 50% of their life if you get it early and have sorc boots.

Are they able to walk through your death cap barrel and get to you? You might want that RoA.

Just depends game per game, gotta evaluate it yourself.

RoA's stats don't impress me too much, so I'm always going to advise slightly against it.
