I don't play Alistar, sir.
Right, you play Teemo.
FFFFFFF...not by choice, goddammit.
You only get 60 MR if you are the one carrying the bulwark. Bulwark is amazing, and the new Spirit Visage is very nice too, but the people who an AP mid wants to blow up are generally not wearing any MR items, outside of maybe an abyssal on the enemy AP.
People act like AD mid is OP because of the penetration from BC and LW, but watch me build first 3 item sorc shoes/haunting guise/abyssal scepter Katarina and do near true damage to at least 3/5ths of the enemy team for not even that much gold.
Also have to agree about not worrying about split pushers when you're ahead. Like, people always want to go stop the split pusher, and every time I'm like look they just want us to waste time. Just stomp down mid lane and if they want to fight for the tower it's going to be a 5v4. It's so bizarre to me how often people don't want to just do this, the easiest thing there is.

You are more than welcome to do it yourself, sir.
I am super drunk but "You will never get enough gold out of GP10 quints to make up for the lost stats" and "You will get enough gold out of them after 16 minutes to make up for the lost stats" seem like fairly contradictory statements
The raw gold gain is about 15 minutes to break even. But you have to play the first 15 minutes at a disadvantage for that to happen.
I mean, why don't Mid/Top/Jungle/ADC run GP/10 quints? If they're valuable on a support they're just as valuable on someone who has to scale hard into the lategame right since they help you complete items sooner.
But in order to do that you have to give up your ability to fight the enemy and giving up your ability to fight the enemy means giving up gold for you and giving your opponent gold. Think about every time you almost escape within the first 15 minutes of the game. If you had armor you likely would have survived and denied the enemy 450+ gold (kill+assist gold, not counting any snowball that may cause*). Think about every time you have to go back because you're harassed out of lane, think about every time you're unable to harass someone out of lane.
If you didn't have GP/10's you'd be pushing them out of lane and denying their ADC or not getting pushed out of lane and getting your ADC more gold.
So the raw gain is 15 minutes, but you're never really going to make it up because it only takes a 10 CS swing for your ADC (or you) to make up the difference, and those small advantages will give you that advantage.
*E.G. the other day, i lost a game because my ADC didn't start with a longsword. Vayne started with boots and their Draven started with the longsword. I was taric and we level 1 ambushed roka... She got out with 10 hit points. Then draven kills vayne and when he does so he was at ~50 hit points. Had vayne bought 10 ad we would have a double kill and massive snowball lane. Instead we had the opposite happen.
Edit: Half my fault for not realizing that vayne didn't start damage.
Don't use gp10 runes if you plan on fighting a lot or you're planning on hitting super late game.

That's why I feel bad most of the time when I run them -- bot lane is pretty much the Thunderdome IME.
2. I give advice while being mean at the same time. It's a win-win.
But then again that applies to any statement that treats LoL like a turn based board game.
No, we had the fight. We would have had a double kill if vayne had a longsword. This is not a "oh we might have won the lane if vayne had a longsword" but "we had a fight and they came out within margin such that the longsword would have won it.
Two kills on vayne with taric vs Draven/Soraka will snowball. Not even draven can straight up fight against a taric and a lane partner when the enemy is ahead of them.
Or so I was led to believe.
I think I'm having fun jungling, but maybe it's the Hextech Gauntlets punching things really hard. I'd like to try it in a game where my team would communicate a little better, maybe help with the warding (I'm looking at you, support, mid, and top), and coordinate on ganks.
Is jungle the most fun in league? If so, is there any reason Vi isn't a good jungler? I know there's better, but I think she's enough bruiser to be fun without being constantly banned (Amumu, Shen, etc).
Also I can't wait for a sale on Rune Pages. I guess I can just save up the 6300 IP for a new one so I can have an AD, AP, and Jungle page.
Who on earth told you that? EVERYONE wards, EVERYONE, and in S3 it's common that the map is lit up like a damn Christmas tree at the 3 minute mark.
Vi is a great jungler with fantastic ganks. I've heard she is meh in lane due to her inability to stick to people, but hopefully they fix that, cause she is a ton of fun and I don't jungle.
And as far as I know, there has only been one sale on rune pages ever, and that was Christmas 2011. It would be nice, but I wouldn't count on it any time soon.
just sayin.
Armor reds and yellows, flat mr blues, and GP/10 quints personally.

No and yes respectively. You can get away without armor whatevers for Taric, Sona needs them cuz she's squishy, and not man mode.
Joe's Stream.
Also despite getting more gold from hitting champions taric is going to be doing it a lot, lot less.
Yeah, I know we should all be warding, but repeated reminders to the rest of my team was met with silence. They were happy to bitch at people for getting caught out in ambushes or when the other team kept getting Dragon and Baron, but they relied completely on me to ward anything, anywhere.
I thought I had seen some official post on the forums about how their past sales had gone, and which ones would be returning and which ones wouldn't. Maybe pages were one of the ones that didn't work, I forget now. Anyway, might try Maokai jungle as well, since I have him already.
Tribunal update! I'm right under 90%, with a 4700+ rating, almost 500 toxic days prevented, and 8 players permanently banned. I also have two cases that have been "Pending" for around a week now. Wonder if it's another case of pro players possibly being permanently panned. Er, banned.

Serious bad games tonight, just got out-played and ganked at every attempt to farm. Think I need to work on my decision making skills or something.
Just remember that not every game is winnable and that you can mute people. Seriously, mute anyone you even think will start to bitch and moan at you, you don't need that.
As you level (you're sub-30 right? I have trouble keeping track sometimes) and get better at the game, you'll see teams like that less and less.
Also, I can't figure how to mute players. Anytime I try to type the command, it just says there is no such player in the game. If they have a space in their name, do I need to put quotes around it?
