Since I've either
A. Been thrown back into the game
or
B. Thrown myself back into the game
I'd like to take an opportunity to share with everyone some recent maths I've done!
I would like to show you some before's and afters, namely how armor and magic res stack up against health value. In short You're paying for more protection than you probably need, just buy it smart!!!
Example one, I compare the difference in value between randulin's and guardian angel with doran's shield.(yes i know it's all on kennen)
both sets will run you 3075 gold:
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=64,27&level=18 Guardian angel with Doran's
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=105&level=18Randulin's
we see here that randulin's wins out in effective health, PLUS it gives the wearer all of the nifty benefits of owning one.
Guardian angel of course offers the resurrection, but it's mostly out of the question, considering it's fairly rare to come in handy.
So if that was all i did, I'd recomend you all get Randulin's.
HOWEVER: notice with a warmog's, for 75 less gold (and a ward) One does ever better!
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=61&level=18This is obviously due to the fact the item takes time to become cost effective, but upon doing so, is worth your coin.
Now, this doesn't mean health wins the game and it's all over, but it does mean you should probably start with a warmogs if you want a better late game turnout.
So the below does exactly that, and then states for the next purchase, what should be done? There are three different outcomes,
A. another warmog's
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=61,61&level=18B. randulin's
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=105,61&level=18C. Guardian and doran's
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=64,27,61&level=18i'll spare your time and tell you that guardian's wins out, with warmog's coming in second, a randulin's taking up the rear. (in effective health)
guardian's has the least hp/5 warmog's has the most, etc.
Point being, as items compile health becomes more valuable while armor and mres do not. However without a strong enough supply of armor and mres (as indicated by the sub-effective health pools) you can find a giant hole in your guard.
So What is the solution!?
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=61&level=18That's a warmogs after 30 successfully last hitted creep, without dying
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=11,34&level=18That little b***h right there is Aegis with a giant's belt, he's pretty damn amazing.
he's about 40 points of health worse than that fully grown warmogs over there, but he stops caring about that s**t as soon as he gives you 375 gold's worth of attack damage.
In fact, he's a ******** team player. He's nice enough to give every other person on your team the following s**t just for standing near him:
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Kennen/?items=72,67,58&level=18so you COULD go kill dragon for your team and get everyone 150 gold, or you could buy one of these and give everyone an effective 1000 extra gold.
