Irelia's ult whilst it "appears" weak is actually quite strong because of its versatility and low cooldown. You can use it as part of an all-in combo, you can use it for sustain in lane, you can use it for pushing creep waves, you can use it maximise teamfight damage or lifsteal. You can also use it escape ganks or close distances quickly using bladesurge refresh - use 1 or 2 charges of bladsurge, q to a melee minion, q to a range minion at the back and then q to your target.

Vlad is incredibly weak in the early game, particularly so until he gets his spellvamp going with hextech revolver.

Pick either a bully laner like Renekton, or just all-in him at lvl 2 or 3 with the likes of Riven, Lee Sin or Jarvan. Or if you chose something like irelia, as long as you didn't get harassed like hell, you will never lose to him 1v1 as long as you use that bladesurge q refresh trick (save the 2nd q for when he uses his bloodpool).

I have played against Vlad a couple of times as Ire (I play top as her exclusively). I killed him once early - like lvl 3 or something. But after that he the fights usually ended with me killing him and then dying to one of his spell that I haven't looked up yet. It was like a time bomb spell. But, it was rather easy after I got Trinity...for a while. He was extremely annoying in team fights and the other team had like 3 elusive heroes. Shit was so frustrating.

Vlad has a power spike at level 9 since that's when he gets level 5 Q. He will only get stronger from the on as he scales much harder into late game than Irelia, who is more of an early/midgame champion. Think of him like this: Vlad is a time bomb that will go off at some point in the game, although when depends on how well he (and his team) perform in the laning phase.

Hilariously enough, I was playing Irelia top lane today. All three times I ran into Yasuo, and all three times I wrecked him. Hell, I only got a Trinity and a Sunfire (Was playing tank Irelia since our sp was rather squishy) and the other team already gged.

Yeah Irelia dumpsters Yasuo pretty hard once you get a few levels since he can't win any sort of trade that doesn't involve his ult. Pretty funny too as at least at silver level I've seen people pick him into my Irelia several times and it's just free win in lane.

Is the jungle respawn indicator on the minimap accurate for enemy camps if you see an empty camp without knowing when it was cleared?

What I mean is:
1. The enemy jungler clears the blue buff at 2:10.
2. One of your team-mates sees the empty camp at 3:00. Camp indicator disappears.
3. Blue buff respawns at 7:10, 5 minutes after being cleared.

Will your team see the minimap indicator appear accurately at 7:10? Or will the indicator only appear at 8:00 (sighting of empty camp + 5 min respawn time)?

You see it the moment it spawns anew if you or any other team member have moved through that area before that time.

The indicator should show up as soon it spawns regardless of when you saw it empty. Though you won't know in advance of course.

In case anyone's wondering, here's the comparison between this and the original video (also contains a list of all the characters)

Rushing Essence Reaver first on Lucian seems to be my new thing. Abusing his passive ten-fold is by far my favorite thing now. Definitely happy that Riot added this item into the game. Regarding Ardent Censor, I probably overestimated it a bit indeed. Although that's probably because I just had a bad Lulu support game. I will say I soared through the skies with 535 speed constantly.

Ardent Censer is awesome. But you don't rush it IMO. I incorporated it into my Nami build and it's a good addition. But it's not the highest priority.

Essence Reaver will hopefully spark the return of Jayce.

My long-time build for Janna has been:

Sightstone -> Talisman -> Boots of Swiftness -> Locket / Randuin's -> Zeke's Herald

Should I switch Zeke's for AC instead? Looking at the stats, AC doesn't seem to be that great late game since teamfighting impact is very important for a 5th item and an aura that's always on seems better than one that's conditional on a shield/heal.

Zeke's really requires a team heavy on auto-attacking. I consider that a very situational item. And with so many support items having CDR, it's important to figure out which ones you will go for.

My core items are one of the gold-generating ones + green-level Sightstone + Mikael's Crucible + Boots of Mobility (for casters) or Mercury Treads (for Leona/Braum/Thresh). Ardent Censer is 5th in line for me - but that would be one for Nami/Sona/Lulu/Janna for me. Others, I'd probably put Iron Locket of the Solari there. Sometimes I get Frozen Heart if the other team is heavy AD and my own team simply doesn't have the right champs to utilise that item. Item 6, I try to make a major health item. By that point, you will want to get some bulk on the squishier supports, because any assassin/diver will be after you. Randuin's Omen is my usual choice.

Yea I usually get Zeke's 5th if three of my team-mates rely on AD, like Zed, Yasuo, Riven, etc. If they're AP I'll get Abyssal.

Gold-generation + Sightstone + Boots are core for supports, which leaves only three items to choose. I don't really like Mikael's because of its long CD. I'm only silver, so my team-mates tend to get out of position too often for me to use Mikael's on them every time.

I'll try replacing Zeke's with AC next time and see how it goes.
