I think the key fact everybody who thinks Ruaan's is anything but shit is missing is the range on it. 375. And it doesn't prioritize champions. It's rare to hit 1 additional person with it, never mind 2. You pay 2400 gold for LESS gold efficiency than buying pure attack speed. You're wasting a slot for nothing but pure attack speed. Ruaan's sucks.

[Sharp]

If you don't want to accept this, then fine. But, anyone that knows the game can assure you the same thing. I've given good arguments AGAINST the Runaan's, and you're focused on the best case scenario for Runaan's. That best case scenario is bad to rely on.

Of course I'm focusing on the best case scenario, like I said it's a situational item, not a 'get this item always' item. Most items can have some use in some cases, the only really waste of money one is Eleisa's but even Executioners Calling can have a use if you are up vs Zac, Vlad or Mundo. Eleisa's Miracle is pretty shit though.

That being said I am looking forward to trying Tanky Urgot Top with Runaan's just for passive spread, maybe stack that shit with a Maokai ult as well for ultra damage reduction.

[frostshotgg]

You know what else is situational? AD Lux. Is it ever better than the more general case? No.

[Sharp]

I don't think you know what situational means.

[frostshotgg]

I don't think you know what situational means either.

AD Malzahar Pentakill. Your arguments are invalid.

[frostshotgg]

A, stop with the "Your argument is invalid" shit, when even reddit has stopped being a zombie horse you know it's time to stop. B, nothing too unusual about that. It's a standard end game adc pentakill, if you think AD Malzahar is completely unheard of then that's just untrue. It's rare that you see him picked but I wouldn't question it too much, I'd be more surprised at seeing him at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure the last malzahar I've seen in ranked was AD.

Whoa there, Buzz Killington. He's just trying to have a bit of fun and share with everyone else. And he's also trying to get you two to stop arguing about semantics because no one else cares. If you want to have a rational and informed discussion, feel free, but otherwise your argument is invalid, as a character that is already rare being played in a rarer way getting a pentakill is still fun.

[Chaoswizkid]

Yeah, webadict's right. This was getting into too much srs bsns territory about differing points of view, so I figured I'd post something very silly in a way that was meant to be obvious (because no one actually takes the "Your argument is invalid" thing seriously, I just referenced something relevant to the discussion). Also, I wasn't aware that the whole "Your argument is invalid" thing went out of fashion. I don't visit Reddit or Riot's GD or really any other social community other than Bay12.

Just to say, though, AD anyone isn't unheard of. Tank anyone isn't (really) unheard of, AP anyone isn't unheard of. The only unhead-ofs (barring obviously stupid things like mana Tryndamere) would probably be select champions in the Jungle that make it so overwhelmingly painful trying to accomplish that no one's willing to hate themselves and have everyone else hate them to for trying to do it. Like Jungle Sona.

I'll just weigh in with this: I don't see any situations in which a Runaan's Hurricane is a better item choice than a Phantom Dancer or a Shiv. I'm not saying it's bad, just that the other options are better. As an ADC, you really should be about massive sustained single target damage. Not that AOE is bad, but your job is to be chunking individual people down as fast as possible. Leave the AOE to the mages and such.

[Angle]

There are some champions that gain a lot from the multiple target effect, like Caitlin, who gets her passive accelerated by it.

Anyway, big news for the ADC players :
Sivir's Visual Update is coming, no more triangle feet :

(screen shots, and video of some animations, the 0:55 one).

[frostshotgg]

Let me rephrase. There's no need to present it like that. Just "Oh cool, an AD Malzahar penta" would be fine.

As far as Sivir VU goes, I'm interested to see if they kept the battling pantyless thing on the model. Was amusing when someone mentioned it to me. That seam tho.

You're free to do as you want. Just know that in almost every situation, other items are better.

[javierpwn]

Good for applying annoying on-hit effects. Like Varus' blight, or Teemo's poison.(Especially with the detonation)
Also good for keeping Melee champs away from you while farming, as you can get those extra hits in. But alas, the item is too situational.
