i'm considering putting the entire rod after sheen, catalyst healing doesnt seem to help much if u rush it

It can help some, but you still have no armor pen really, so if they have any defense you hit like a wet noodle, just faster.

well thats getting consolidated in the new rework, since alpha will be doing physical damage (yet still scaling off ap), you will want AP and apen instead of ap and mpen

Also, case in point: I got cornswaggled into playing top, so I chose Poppy, because, Poppy, and this is the result:

Keep in mind this is fucking ranked. Note that I am positive, I won top, I defended mid and warded for my jungler. And yet I STILL HAVE THE HIGHEST FARM ON MY TEAM. I am not EVEN criticizing their scores or their other play, which WAS horrible, but just looking at CS ... what in the literal fuck? Even if I wasn't running around doing shit, how the fuck does poppy out last hit her entire team? Keep in mind this is fucking ranked.

i know i know volibar whatever, but volibar harassed me too. volibar is no excuse for the cs thing.

[Hasbinbad]

thats a vicious poppy build lol, every way you get hit by her you get slowed, and then she can just dash out all HAHA! at 3hp with w and ghost

Dat Hydra/LB Nasus...

This build is the most atrocious thing i have ever seen. HBB, i'm really not trying to flame you, but what in the fuck are you thinking building tear/catalyst? This build could be 85% of why you are in bronze.

Look to start Dorans ring > Kage's pick > Morellos > Spell Pen boots > Dcap > Void. Anything else you build is fluff. Your job is to have cooldown in lanes, for frequent harass, and lower cdr on w. (Morellos is 20% cdr) Then team fight, all you need to do, is get 1 kill and get your reset. Smart cast your q, the slight hesitation of not smart casting can mean everything in a team fight. Tear would take a year to stack, and ROA is just a terrible item for the style of laner yi is
