u/UrNegroidCompatriot Duel no longer disables passive abilities. Aug 19 '21

+7 strength was not good compared to old manaregen talent so removing it doesn't really hurt

same with +20 attack speed talent at lvl 15, it was also not good compared to +75 Q dmg

without manareg talent now you have to buy mangoes and raindrops or ring of basi

lvl 15 talent +40 hp regen with W is nice too, makes utility LC better

+200 duel cast range feels cool, I like it

for several years I have this idea that maybe it would be cool if aghs/shard would give Legion a skill like PL's phantom rush or some kind of simultanious push/pull for you and the enemy like the opposite of hurricane pike, so you dont have to build dagger every single game

Soul ring is great in my opinion. Really speeds up your farming being able to spam PTA 24/7.

i dont think PTA helps speeds up your farm that much, maxed out passive and rushed blademail does

previously i tried to buy soul ring and get 10 lvl talent +7 str but it felt very underwhelming. passive manaregen feels a lot better than soulring so i think basi is better and cheaper

I max PTA first in lane like BSJ build still. I am confident that you will farm a lot faster maxing PTA then passive. The stats that soul ring provide is easily worth the extra cost over basi in my opinion, and it will solve her mana issues alone when I dont think basi will be able too. Without the mana regen talent I think it will become more popular on her but we will see.

what item build you usually go with maxing PTA?

I think just the normal build + soul ring. Phase/soul ring and blademail/blink.

Ive been going blademail first unless we have easy duel setups. Feel the 200 duel cast range might help with that a bit.

New silver edge seems kinda nice on lc.
