It's oks though, we'll help, you should probably plan on updating more than twice a week, maybe :o

AYO?!

I actually had all of that down and it didn't save. Fucking SRK Beta I swear.

Tweleve

IPL today folks

AYO?!

Refreshed the Edit three times, everything magically popped back up. This was after two connection errors and a failed to connect thing.

I really hate this site lately.

PapaRhino

Yeah the edit errors are really fucking annoying.

Scat Cat

I play under the name "badatgames" and I am terrible. Lots of Rammus and Teemo.

Ken34

reginald getting caught, lmao

Tweleve

MY NIGGA NIENTONSOH!!
They should really just let Xpecial go mid, he's beast

Ken34

you know, i never thought rainman was the problem with tsm, reginald fucks up alot, probably more than rain man, this match just reassured my thoughts on that. regi is definetly not as consistent as other top mids like scarra and froggen.

Tweleve

TRM was never the problem, Dyrus needs OddBro 24/7

AYO?!

Added you two, and those items are interesting.

I'd love to see more items, just I hope not at the expense of taking established stuff out.

Tweleve

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Regi is playing TF, gg TSM going to lose 2-0

Jamp

Reginald was so fray on the first match.

Also dem Korean strats with Vlad bot.

EDIT - Nevermind that, Reginald is raping with TF lol.

Adding the other two. You guys better be active or the naughty list will be waiting.

Unless BT and IE get significant nerf's, there will never be much variation in AD carry builds

AYO?!

They've talked about doing that recently, changing AD items to build up over time instead of flat damage.

free

Don't forget the SRK chat in the client, we still in der.

Ken34

BT has gotten nerfed already. BT isnt really the problem. IE is, that shit way too stronk.

I don't think BT is inherently overpowered, but alongside IE, there aren't that many options as for what you see AD carries build. Like, you will almost never see a Wits End or MBR on the AD Carry, and if they build it then the entire team is going to bitch and moan that you have no idea how to play the game

Kog maw sometimes gets MBR depending on how people build. There is the cheap kog maw build and the standard ad carry build. You adapt based on how the game is going.

I personally love MBR, I'm just saying if you get it, more often than not you're going to hear a lot of shit for it

I like Black Cleaver too, but again it's the same deal

There's a pretty legitimate reason for that, too. Sometimes it seems like you people think the standard shit just emerges for no reason. It's good to try new shit and mix up builds, but it's not like someone just decided IE/BT/PD or TF/LW was generally the way to go (and there are plenty of ADs that have different standard builds or at least build orders) and that was that.

Black Cleaver can be okay, depending on the character, but MBR is a pretty shitty item. It's good late game on Teemo or something, but that's late game Teemo and nobody cares. IE/LW is better at killing tanks and squishies than MBR, and scales better with red/green pot, so there's not much reason to get it. If you have like a pure AD team maybe it would be worth it for magic damage, but that's the only scenario I can really think of. MBR is just really expensive for what it does.

I know, and as mentioned before it's because BT and IE are too good

Diana OP. Zyra UP?

I welcome myself and all to the new thread.

I don't know about that. And if one of them is overpowered, it's certainly IE, not BT.

I think it really is that those items are just too weak because they split the stats up too much, particularly in the case of MBR. Black Cleaver is honestly fine or really close to fine.

Jamp

The problem with MBR IMO is that it's too fucking expensive to be worth the gold.

I only buy it when I'm curbstomping people so hard that I already got the IE/PD/LW trifecta, and even then I'd consider buying a GA beforehand.

Pacifist

Jamp left me with false promises.
