Not gonna lie, you really shouldn't have your build planned out pregame. Builds should be reactive.

To a certain extent. For instance, I always, always build sheen>1st tier boots>trinity force on Nasus. The team composition doesn't even matter. But yeah, planning more than 2-3 items ahead usually isn't a smart thing to do.

[Sharp]

It's not a build I planned but I build I went.

That being said, Phil Stone, Boots of Mob, Sunfire and Aegis is a solid choice on a jungle Amumu regardless of the situation

[KaelGotDwarves]

As a Sona support main, my build is almost always the exact same with a few deviations.

 Gamescom is on for the next four days. Today's first quarter-final is Fanatic RC versus Curse.eu, they seem closely matched:

 The first game was pretty close at least, the momentum swinging back and forth right up to the end, before Fanatic clinched the decisive team fight. MVP was Fanatic's Soaz playing Jayce, who crushed the opposing Shen in top lane.
 Game two seemed to have been almost decided by the initial team fight, where Fanatic picked up two kills for no reply, both going to Ezrael. However, Curse would hang on by their fingernails, eventually getting back into the game despite always being behind in both kills and gold. Their final build included four guardian angels, but somehow this bred some overconfidence in the final baron fight - they were all over the place, and got picked off one by one, leading to unstoppable momentum in Fanatic's favour. Soaz, on Shen this time, actually rushed a Sunfire Cape, allowing some very effective split pushing - he was able to quickly take the first top turret in response to Curse winning a dragon fight.

So WotA on jungle Amumu in ranked is hilarious but still not efficient build, Abyssal Scepter would be much more effective though it was a very easy baron kill.

And Aegis of Legion is still super-effective, dear god why won't more people buy it on supports, had a support Sona with Randuin's Omen even though I was the carry being attacked not her. Aegis is such an OP item and in teamfights it's like a savior by reducing so much damage for everyone, it's like Maokai's ult except that it's always on.

Elohell's Shushei just picked Evelynn mid against Moscow 5.. she'll be up against Gragas, could be interesting:

 Not really, an absolute stomp - Moscow 5 win in 21 minutes with 21 kills to 1.

Had a pretty fun game on Dominion right now. I was Sivir and ended up bot because noone would take it, against a Corki. The enemy team had 2 guys from Legion which are apparently a team? Because one guy on my team went "oh it doesn't matter who goes bot they have 2 pros".

I lost bot HARD to Corki. Fed 5 kills because the enemy team kept ganking bot, and we were down to something like 120:300, so I finally decided it wasn't really productive, my continual stay bot, so I went top.

Then this happened.



Fun times.

edit : Rofl, Darien casually strolling out of that Nunu ult. Also Baron @20.

[Jelle]

Eve in a tournament? Yeah...no xD

[baruk]

AWESOME first blood in game two..

to Elohell's Udyr

[Jopax]

Oh yeah, we're playing together, yeah, sure you called top Garen, but we're duolaning it, you fuck off to bot, yeah, you'll manage solo, especially against Cait. No man, we're together so we gotta be top, no it can't be changed, we don't care it's fucking stupid and you called it first, cuz that's how we roll.

Fucking.

FUCKING!!!

IDIOTS!!!!

[Graven]

Aaaaand game. I'm pretty sure no other team can push an advantage like m5. Can't wait for the eventual Azubu Blaze vs M5 game, since I don't think anyone else can do anything significant against them.

[Jopax]

It got better.

They called me the troll.

[RedKing]

It got better.

They called me the troll.

Well, obviously you should have been playing Trundle. 

[Jopax]

Is today troll day or something?

Current match has four super squishy carries on my team. And somehow, my Garen is considered a support by the MF that's laning with me top. She then dies some three times before demanding wards from me and alltogether fucking off somewhere else on the map, leaving me to fend for myself against a fed Jayce who is some 2 levels higher than me, and of course I get ganked and of course I can't really escape when WW ults me under my tower.

[Frumple]

Yeeaaahhh... more than two (squishy) carries it seems you can generally just kind of write the game off -- your team's going to lose unless you're playing against a full team of absolute idiots. Announce "(X >= 3) carries, gg, let's have fun in defeat" or something and chillax.

More than three squishies in general and it's probably going to go very far south, and that's even on the (incredibly crappy) level of play I've been dealing with. Everything I've seen from higher level play just exaggerates that, heh.
