At first i would like to say that im playing lol for quite a while, so i would prefer to hear opinions of skilled players.

1. What do you think about flat mana Glyphs? [I think they might be useful for ryze, but imo they could work even on champs like corki since with 100 bonus mana he can spam more phosphor]
2. Corki - Flat ad or Arpen [or smth else?] I would say flat AD but you might get me wrong.
3. Jungle - Veteran scars [30 health] or Bladed armour mastery [6 damage return to minions]?
4. How does juggernaut mastery stacks with mercury treads? I believe you would reach the cap of 40% if you get them both.
5. Corki - Im using exhaust and flash atm but Chaox is using cleanse, i personally like exhaust more. Which one is better in your opinion?
6. Casters like annie, fizz, gragas, tf - Flat AP or mPen runes?
7. Mordekaiser - tanky masteries or ap masteries in offense?
8. I believe it is, but is dorans blade still viable after the 20 health nerf [100>80]
9. Triforce on skarner Y/N? My build is mercurys,shurelya,and then triforce but i feel like there are far better builds out there. Recommend me something!
10. Trundle - jungle or solo top? Hes viable for both but im wondering where is he better.
11. Best Lee sin build - mine is lantern,mercurys,warmong,triforce,atma [not in this order]. Im pretty sure there are better builds - Tell me whats your favourite build!
12. Smite mastery - 10 bonus gold [is it worth it?]
13. Rate my corki build - Boots+3pots,dorans blade, then if i can afford it i go for sheen if not - another doran. Zerk greaves after sheen+1 or 2 dorans, bloodthirster,veil,IE
14. Fun question - is heimer viable for 1600+ rankeds? I dont think so.
15. Your opinion on the new floating text in hecarims patch?

Can't wait for your answers!

1. What do you think about flat mana Glyphs? Not good on Ryze, not good on anyone.
2. Corki - Flat ad or Arpen [or smth else?] I don't play Corki, I dunno.
3. Jungle - Veteran scars [30 health] or Bladed armour mastery [6 damage return to minions]? Bladed armour.
4. How does juggernaut mastery stacks with mercury treads? I think they stack, but don't take my word for it.
5. Corki - Im using exhaust and flash atm but Chaox is using cleanse, i personally like exhaust more. Which one is better in your opinion? If you're playing ranked, check the other team. Loads of CC->Cleanse. Someone needs to be shut down with exhaust/it will win your lane-->Exhaust.
6. Casters like annie, fizz, gragas, tf - Flat AP or mPen runes? MPen.
7. Mordekaiser - tanky masteries or ap masteries in offense? Tanky masteries. 9-21-0
8. I believe it is, but is dorans blade still viable after the 20 health nerf [100>80] Probably a better option to go cloth+5 or boots+3. Still viable though.
9. Triforce on skarner Y/N? My build is mercurys,shurelya,and then triforce but i feel like there are far better builds out there. Recommend me something! :)No. Go tanky/focus on CDR. Shurelia/aegis/warmogs/FH and so on.
10. Trundle - jungle or solo top? Hes viable for both but im wondering where is he better. Jungle
11. Best Lee sin build - mine is lantern,mercurys,warmong,triforce,atma [not in this order]. This build is pretty OK. Can get double doran before your wriggles for more early game.
12. Smite mastery - 10 bonus gold [is it worth it?] Nah.
13. Rate my corki build - Boots+3pots,dorans blade, then if i can afford it i go for sheen if not - another doran. Zerk greaves after sheen+1 or 2 dorans, bloodthirster,veil,IE I dunno
14. Fun question - is heimer viable for 1600+ rankeds? I dont think so. Yes,
15. Your opinion on the new floating text in hecarims patch?

1. What do you think about flat mana Glyphs? [I think they might be useful for ryze, but imo they could work even on champs like corki since with 100 bonus mana he can spam more phosphor] Not worth it
2. Corki - Flat ad or Arpen [or smth else?] I would say flat AD but you might get me wrong. Flat AD, he has massive armor shred anyway and he deals true damage based on his ad
3. Jungle - Veteran scars [30 health] or Bladed armour mastery [6 damage return to minions]? I get both if skilling in the defensive tree, otherwise Bladed armor
4. How does juggernaut mastery stacks with mercury treads? I believe you would reach the cap of 40% if you get them both. They stack (they also stack with abilities such as Dr. Mundo's Burning Agony and Cleanse)
5. Corki - Im using exhaust and flash atm but Chaox is using cleanse, i personally like exhaust more. Which one is better in your opinion? Cleanse against stunlocking teams, Exhaust if your support has heal, heal if your support doesn't have it.
6. Casters like annie, fizz, gragas, tf - Flat AP or mPen runes? Full Magic Resist runes are the best to mid, otherwise the standard flat ap quints, mpen reds, ap/lvl yellows and blues
7. Mordekaiser - tanky masteries or ap masteries in offense? Defensive to have a better early, offensive to capitalize on his strengths later on.
8. I believe it is, but is dorans blade still viable after the 20 health nerf [100>80] Only if your support has a build in heal, you can start with a Doran's Blade, if not it doesn't hurt to get two of them to make yourself stronger in the lane. Boots + 3 hp pots is generally better for an ad carry.
10. Trundle - jungle or solo top? Hes viable for both but im wondering where is he better. Trundle does good against Yorick and also against pure melees, but fails against ranged top. I prefer him as a jungler, because he has a solid route and he is good at invading.
12. Smite mastery - 10 bonus gold [is it worth it?] Not really
13. Rate my corki build - Boots+3pots,dorans blade, then if i can afford it i go for sheen if not - another doran. Zerk greaves after sheen+1 or 2 dorans, bloodthirster,veil,IE Pretty good. I prefer getting IE before Bloodthirster and sometimes a Phage is better than a Sheen.
14. Fun question - is heimer viable for 1600+ rankeds? I dont think so. Heimerdinger is actually still powerful, he just requires much skill and special teamcomps.
15. Your opinion on the new floating text in hecarims patch? I like it.

- Ignore what people say on mana glyphs on Ryze, they are fucking awesome for a good early game. Not worth it on other champions.
- Rushing Sheen on Corki is shit, IF you really want to rush triforce start with Phage.
- Trundle is better in lane than in the jungle currently, he has good duelling power but his clearing sucks. That said he hardcounters AD driven champions toplane.
- Triforce on Skarner is ok, but you're better off building tanky CDR, if you need to build something for AS/damage get Wits End or Guinsoos (for some reason I like it on him, I hate it no everyone else) but I wouldn't get those early.
- Smite masery - its ok if you have to be in that tree anyway, otherwise, not worth going there purely for the mastery.

1. What do you think about flat mana Glyphs? Shite, always and on anyone.
2. Corki - Flat ad or Arpen [or smth else?] Flat AD glyphs and 3 marks, 6 marks arm pen - 10 each, boohyah.
3. Jungle - Veteran scars [30 health] or Bladed armour mastery [6 damage return to minions]? Bladed armor
4. How does juggernaut mastery stacks with mercury treads? Stacks I guess, most thing does stack with mercs, but with diminishing returns.
5. Corki - Im using exhaust and flash atm but Chaox is using cleanse, i personally like exhaust more. Which one is better in your opinion? Situational, I prefer exhaust as well, but cleanse vs. high CC teams. Otherwise go QSS + Exhaust = win win.
6. Casters like annie, fizz, gragas, tf - Flat AP or mPen runes? Depends on opposit mid laner, if LeBlanc or similar I'd say flat mag res for whole rune page. Otherwise MPen Marks, and rest ap/lvl.
7. Mordekaiser - tanky masteries or ap masteries in offense? 21/9/0 -> damage regs shield, shield is good. you like shield. shield is your friend.
8. I believe it is, but is dorans blade still viable after the 20 health nerf [100>80] Stupid question, MOAR DORAN'S!
9. Triforce on skarner Y/N? Yes and/or no. Depends on your team I'd say, TriForce is good on him, but perhaps not always.
10. Trundle - jungle or solo top? Jungle, but rather don't play him nowadays ^^ Jungle rework hit him hard, as did the latest champ releases.
11. Best Lee sin build - mine is lantern,mercurys,warmong,triforce,atma [not in this order]. Wriggle, Phage, Wit's End, Merc Treads/Ninja Tabi's, Brutalizer, Frozen Mallet, Guardian Angel.
12. Smite mastery - 10 bonus gold [is it worth it?] YUSH! Spam dat smite!
13. Rate my corki build - Boots+3pots,dorans blade, then if i can afford it i go for sheen if not - another doran. Zerk greaves after sheen+1 or 2 dorans, bloodthirster,veil,IE. Boots -> triple doran's -> sheen -> Black Cleaver -> TriForce. I usually build him like that, or with bloodthirster against heavy dmg, low armor team.
14. Fun question - is heimer viable for 1600+ rankeds? Anyone's viable, as long as you pull it off. I once had a jungle heimer when my ELO was 1475, he destroyed. So... perhaps?
15. Your opinion on the new floating text in hecarims patch? Bloody annoying - especially that SHUT DOWN thing.

[Pavelcz]

Thanks guys. Though i dont agree with building phage before sheen. Sheen is just a very big source of damage for him, and also you got some mana which is really useful since his spells consume it a lot.

Mpen marks, Flat AP Quints, and then either flat or per level AP glyphs and seals depending if you want an extra oomph to go for first blood, or better scaling towards mid-lategame. I find per level allows you to hold up better if you are going to buy non-ap items (Catalyst, Tear, Giant's belt...) before you start piling up AP.

Phage gives him overall more damage, durability AND a slow.

No it doesn't.

Easier time last hitting, better scaling on passive, the slow makes you able to hit enemies more, more health => increases your time alive => more damage dealt, more gain from Lifesteal => more time alive.
