  • Xypherous,

    In my thread regarding boots of swiftness, you said:

    It turns out that a good part of intermediate tank play involves body blocking opposing champions with proper positioning. Ghost through collisions as an always-on ubiquitous stat removed a lot of the more interesting positional blocking on a champion to champion basis.

    As a result, the boots would have to be so expensive as to be incredibly niche, which honestly is kind of the initial problem.
    So, I'm not trying to call you out or anything, I just would like you to tell me what makes ignore unit collision okay on PD, but not BoS.

    Is it because PD is priced accordingly? Did you re-test and find ignore unit collision wasn't that big a deal? What?

    Inquiring minds want to know!

    It's right there in the post you quoted: Body blocking is a tank stat, and tanks don't buy Phantom Dancer.

    And generally speaking, you're body blocking things that aren't AD carries, so no real impact there either.

    XZ shouldn't be buying PD. Youmuu's is much more appropriate.

    I'm not talking about "this isn't designed for him" I'm talking about him getting better mileage from different items.

    If people really want to drop like 2800 for ignore unit collision then go for it.

    Edit: I also closed your thread because no one's posting in it any more. When 50% of a pages comments are you saying "bump" we can't leave those open anymore. Sorry!

    OR MAYBE ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND
    What if we're both Morello's alts?

    Take, for example, Star Wars The Old Republic. Every time a Bioware employee posted on those forums it sounded like the same person. There was no personality in them. It is for this reason that Riot Games is my favorite gaming company.
