Why does noone play Cass anymore? I can't see why when season 3 items made her even better. Am I missing something here?

That's a good question actually, I haven't seen a Cass in ages and last I recall she's ridiculously op. Unless she got nerfed or something? But honestly I think people have been too caught up in the flavor of the month champs. Like all these abysmal teemos and ap yis I see every other game

Speaking of S3 changes, what exactly made Caitlyn go from a low-tier pick from late S2, to being super popular and considered really strong (Cait Nunu lanes) in S3?

 

[Vyke]

There are 109 something champions in the game and some champs just aren't played.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I find Cass one of the more difficult champs to use, and her strengths aren't as clear as some other champs. She's definitely really strong, though.

It was a strong lane and was def run in S2, it just helped that AS became more expensive overall as a stat, and Nunu could provide game changing level 1 AS to the longest range at level 1 carry in the game.

 

[Frolossus]

cass isn't exactly good at roaming and her ult is entirely based on what direction the enemy is facing at the time you cast it and that alone can make or break a team fight late game. why pick her when most other characters can do the job easier?

^ gets it

real men 0 rune

 

[Shaya]

I preferred ArPen for a very long time, but it's considerably easier to use AD.

 

[Kuro~]

LIES! real men play critrunes gangplank.

 

[DMG]

Real men took 2% crit chance under old masteries and won lanes because of it.

 

[Player-3]

Real men took 2% crit mastery and ran 48% crit damage runepage

 

[DMG]

I can top that

REAL MEN... Took Crit Marks on casters

 

[Teh Brettster]

And those casters were all Karthus

 

[DMG]

Played by Jazriel only

[DMG]

Last I heard, he became an Shepard in the Afgan Mountains

Which is ironic, because he used to call us all "Sheep"

To follow-up on the Max CDRVlad build, what would that look like? I'm running into this problem where I have way too many items I want to build on Vlad.

I ran a CDR build with Ionian, WotA, DFG, Deathcap, Void Staff, Rylai's and blue pot, but I'm not sure how effective that is.

Liandry's, Warmog's and Zhonya's are all kinda like "hey look at us", but I don't know what the best combination is.

Thoughts on build & build order for Vlad?

I don't consider vayne an adc anymore. No skill shots.. Like you're doomed if your opponent runs into a brush

 

[BSL]

Why?

"See that sightstone you have there giving you free wards, support? PUT A WARD IN THAT BUSH!"

Seriously not that hard... Lets you condemn to a wall too

 

[Deleted member]

with sightstone, twin shadows and vayne's ability to chase like hell that shouldnt really be an issue

 

[Shaya]

> every brush in the game warded.

 

[DallasPhat]

Vayne sucks, kilik right she isn't ranged and can't carry. She obviously not an ad carry.

For cdr i like dfg, spirit visage, blue pot.(assuming u aren't util in which case u don't even need blue pot). I would take that further with deathcap and warmogs.

What sort of build order does that result in?

Same standard Boots into Revolver, grab Kage's after (sit on it till you need to finish WotA), then DFG?

 

[Kuro~]

I generally go league of pots early on.

Then i typically rush kindlegem into sorc shoes. If i'm winning lane i'll go needless into dfg. After that it depends on match, opponent, pace, etc.

This lets u get ~38% cdr with dfg at mid game. And u can start working on the late game components.(mogs cap void)

If u actually plan on going wota then u can snag the kages b4 finishing sorc shoes.

vayne confirmed for AP bruiser

 

[Akenero]

What's the best way to get IP???

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Winning ranked games gives the most.

 

[Akenero]

what if you can't play ranked games?
Would custom Proving grounds make money quickly?

 

[DallasPhat]

Dominion is the fastest ip gain.

this is why I don't play vayne without a skilled support
