League of Legends (Old)

So yesterday we got some scummers together, of one which was Klazam... uh oh. "Now I actually have to show I can do what I explained...". First game had him on morg, I got to be his adc (eek, worst role!), and it was clear he had taken some of the advice and put it into play straigth away. We won botlane and the objective control was pretty great. Game was lost, but that could hardly be helped, a kayle and quinn who got ahead overcame whatever we got to build up early game.

So the aim was pretty high and my adc play naturally hadn't really done anything to relieve the pressure. I knew I mispositioned often, got less farm than I should have given how the lane went, etc etc. So I locked in gragas, one of my more played supports...

And got not a single mechanical thing right that game

I cracked under the pressure.

I hardly think the loss in that game was on bot lane. >_>

Myko, I'm curious what you think: Athene's or Morello on Support/AP Morgana?
This was something I was talking to Klaz about last night, even found an awesome reddit article about it.

Morello all the way. Morgana isn't spamming spells so she'll do fine with the morello regen, and the grievous wounds and more ap is a lot better then a little mr

Also, fml, Shen vs Vayne top is an effing nightmare. And Jungler didn't get what happens if a Vayne freefarms

Support I would go for morello for sure. You are buying it for the cdr, morello was and is a very cheap source of cdr. As Kscope said, morg really isn't mana hungry enough to warrant going deep into mana regen. Athenes simply isn't a support item, chalice is a laning item for mid.

As midlane, I have no clue. Chalice-athenes got a nerf this season, I think? Because for a little while you saw a lot of pro's jump ship to morellos. Last buff saw a return of the athenes champions to that item. I wouldn't say morg is a good example of an athenes champ. As support you don't spam your pool, but even in lane it's not that much mana spend I felt. And what are you going to do with more mana, really? Ori or azir etc can spam their spells much more, you still have to have the opportunity apart from your pool. It would be my guess that you'd want to stay away from athenes and look for other ways of mana regen, be that morellos, RoA or simple rings.

I never really feel like I need a mana item on Morgana.

Currently the go-to mana regen for mids is double morellonomicons. 40% CDR and 200% mana regen or whatever for really cheap.

It was a standard build before the most recent patch (not sure if it's been implemented yet? the long winter break might mean it's been delayed still), which increased the cost of Morellonomicon to. It's because Morello was so much cheaper than Athene's. I don't know if the cost increase was enough to change the ideal buy, but you still see people buy double Morello in games.

shortest non surrender game i ever played. 22 min baron too.

I stole volis first blue, he raged in all chat for the whole game

A competition i was in had a team called surrender @ 20, and doing so was their goal. And they failed. In all 4 games they played.

tbf, I don't think any of the players were 20 either.

At this rate I just want to win a soloq match (all of my wins in my match history right now are when I play with a group of friends). I swear to god every game I get ahead and lose.

EVERY. ONE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
