So I usually play jungle, ADC or mid. I am most confident in my jungling, and second in ADC. My mid, I usually focus on Not Losing Lane, and "Winning Lane" is some far-off dream I only achieve when you run into that one LeBlanc who "only plays APC", "platinum smurf" and then uses all spells to last hit. (huhuhuhu)
I played Ranked, and got stuck with top lane. Jungle Nunu, mid Karma, bot was Ashe and Thresh. Was against a top Renekton with Volibear jungle. Nunu and Karma being enough AP, I decided to go with Hecarim (as Tryndamere is boring; I hate split pushing).
"No, don't pick Hecarim into Renekton," quoth my team. "He counters you."
Heheheheh... no one counters the galloping destruction. I've discovered something that lets me win top lane as Hecarim every time: whenever I back, I go back to my lane through tri-bush and then river with E, effectively "ganking" my own lane. If it doesn't get me a kill, it lets me get a favourable trade going because it's completely out of left field.
I expect it to stop working once I progress beyond Silver 3. (just hit series again!!)
I actually like top lane a fair bit more than I thought I would, though usually as Hecarim or Ekko, since both of them are so efficient at hit-and-runs. Ekko is disgusting. At level 2, grab a point in E. Blink Slash your enemy, throw out your Q and run away. EZ TRADE EZ LYFE.
So is stacking Deathcaps actually a viable thing because I've seen a couple people do it but it seems incredibly ridiculous because the only benefit you have is 20 more AP and a non-stacking passive, as opposed to several other more useful attributes the 100 AP items have.
I don't think it's a viable thing. Where do you see this happen, anyway? Looking through your match history, I don't see you running into them.
