Noc ate some heavy nerfs in the 89-91 season but you never know, they say hes got the kit to really take over, the meta of farm reliant champions is just too unstable imo for him not to eventually make a comeback, if league of legends is even still around when the meta shifts lol

I miss AP Sion and if they'd change him back but keep the new graphics I'd play him a ton. AP Sion was the poo poo. It's like Annie but with even fewer buttons for when you just want to blow poo poo up.

On an unrelated note, one of my friends gave me a code for MF and her arcade skin (!!!) that he got off a friend since he knew that I've wanted to get her for a while now.
What are some tried and true MF builds? I tried her out in a hexakill game and had a brief argument with one of my friends over what items would be good for her, I thought that a bit of CDR would be good on her because she uses skills quite a bit but he disagreed and said go straight damage.
Can any MF players chip in/explain?

I only just caught up and saw this post and you're both correct. The best stat on Miss Fortune is Attack Damage. Every other stat is significantly worse. I usually do Zerker greaves but I could totally accept an argument for CDR boots if you rush them post 6 to take objectives across the map. If you're not going to do that, don't get them.

If you go IE, PD, LW as your first 3 items, you can duel a lot of assassins and win by bursting their faces off. Mercurial Scimitar is a very good defensive item on MF because you have enough damage and lifesteal to survive pretty much anything if you aren't stunned and because 80 AD is 80 AD. I played a game recently against a Karthus top and TF mid and got caught 1v2'ing them in a teamfight at one point. TF flash-gold-carded me but I QSS'd and killed both him and Karthus in 3 seconds without dropping below 50% HP from pure lifestealing.

I am becoming less and less convinced by Triforce on her and I think my default lategame build in most cases would be:

IE
PD
LW
BT
Merc Scim
Zerker Greaves (into Zephyr eventually)

What are your reasons for choosing PD over Shiv? It seems other people in this thread preferred Shiv so I'm curious what the arguments for/against are.

I just played my first ever game as renekton against a fiora top. Holy poo poo he's an effective pusher and farmer, and once You have a SF cape and a SV you're unstoppable. I think I like him as much as if not more than garen now. is it worth dropping a flash for an ignite on him?

Shiv would be a fine choice in most cases. I have an innate dislike of the item and I almost always build PD over Shiv on every ADC so that particular recommendation can be ignored.

On MF particularly, the argument for PD would be that your best defense against an assassin diving you in a 1v1 is finishing him off in one auto-Q-auto combo (assuming he's been wounded a little by your ult), in which case PD is better for the higher crit chance.

You should definitely take ignite on Renekton, he's a lane bully and basically wants to split push constantly anyway.

He's not as good as he used to be. They hit his early game hard the last time they changed him, so he can't always win lane, and if he doesn't win lane then he's going to have trouble ending the game as early as he needs to. He falls off really badly in the late game.

I used to be a renekton main and I still love pulling him out on Treeline from time to time, but he's not in a good place right now. Last time I played him, I couldn't even drive Nasus out of lane. His cooldowns are all way too long, in my opinion.

Renekton is still a lane bully and still beats most people. You just have to be able to snowball off it.

Additionally, people are now starting to forget how to play against him because he's become less popular.

I recommend tiamat into Sunfire. You need a big stick of damage on Renekton to really be a thread to an ADC. And don't try to fight Vayne unless you have flash and ignite.
