How it works

General

  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Hextech Rocketbelt.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Rammus build, your default rush is Hextech Rocketbelt.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Champion

  1. Your going-in combo is to: go to bush + cast Q, wait till you are spinning and have good movement speed, then jump on enemies with your R, then W + catch people with E.
  2. You can play this build with First Strike. However, since nerfs, it is not so rewarding anymore.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.
  2. Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.
  3. Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the buildings.
