My ranked winrate w/ morde is 62%. ( 1500 ish elo )

Just play him as a tanky AP carry and he's great, you do need the farm of a solo lane though.
boots, Hextech revolver, deathcap, then start adding some tanky ap items.
The amount of facerape you'll do is large and unexpected by the opponents.

magic pen runes, flat armour and mres/level runes, movement quints.

More champions is okay, but I don't think it adds originality and sparkle to the game really. It's nice and sure, do it, but a new map would mean new strategies and new things to look at. That seems more interesting to me than yet another champion.

New map will be worse than the whole new champion and not practicing in ai game especially if magma chamber is as huge as I was hearing (smart ones know what to do, others run around aimlessly and screw up). Sure, new map would be neat but hell I am not freaking out about it. Would prefer to rage about not being able to choose winter map without having to do it manually (which tends to crash me when I tried to).

Fuck Anivia is so OP,

Hardly... she isn't capable of solo lane anymore (flat magic resist just destroys her since she gets AP later in most builds) and if you can avoid her stun pre-6 she gets pooed all over on. She is good but not the same good that was before. I don't play her badly but I found I can do better with Swain.

I don't usually get deathcap on my tanky morde but I may give it a try. I rather like my rylai hp =x

Wewt. Commando Jarv on sale for my birthday. Awwww yeaaah.

so been messing with a new annie build to be a little more defensive and survive better. its been working out pretty well for me.

[Meian]

I'm against using defensive items like that for squishies. The only ones you need would be items that grant HP with the AP (RoA/Rylai), Zhonya for the armor and active, and/or Banshee Veil/QSS (depending on suppression). You don't need them all but it'll depend on your build and the enemy champ team.

Randuins won't save you alone and it lowers your damage output. Those AD would still tear through with or without the Randuins and you'd gain no AP. If you were being focused a lot that would be a reason to get Banshee/QSS/Zhonya, which are superior to using Randuins on someone like Annie.

[izembo]

i was originally, but the little bit of ap i lose building like this is negligible. i still kill people in only a few spells, and with annie, they're in stun and arent get out of them most of the time anyways. once i actually hit 20 and can put in my cdr runes, it'll be even better.

i should also note the randuins was bought last, i sold my starter item for it as i had 5k+ gold with nothing to buy

[Tyrath]

Yeah but what he's saying is, anytime you get caught in an "Oh SHIT" moment, the randuins wont have enough effect to really save you as the effect of banshees or zhonyas hourglass can. And in general for a caster, more hp (with ap) items will be better overall than a straight up armor item.

[izembo]

yeah, that item isnt part of my build, it was just a this match is already over and im destroying them so whats the best defense item i can buy to just piss them off kinda thing

[Djghost454]

For annie, Zhonyas hourglass. Nothing like dropping your full combo on a team, hitting its active, and coming back w/ your CD's refreshed.

[Aero]

If you really needed a defensive item you should pick up frozen heart. It offers similar damage mitigation to Randuins with the benefit of extra MP and more importantly 20% CDR. Also with that team comp Abyssal scepter would have offered similar damage as a void staff(Nasus is the only one with M.Res) with the added benefit of having 57 M.res.

[Arvin]

not to mention their team is fucking stupid and i don't see any significant MR piece on them. you are playing a bunch of a retards. (don't get me wrong, its not against your play skill)

[izembo]

yeah, im only level 14 so some of that is expected, should also note im 18 and most of them were like 13-14

[Qeomash]

For survivability on squishy mages, I just go down the defensive mastery tree to Ardor or whatever it is called--the damage output one. I barely noticed a drop in my damage from having full offensive masteries, but I did notice a significant change to early game survivability. And that, honestly, is where I was having trouble surviving. As Kennen, Hourglass is probably the best defensive item in the game, and I'd imagine Annie would also do well. If you can learn to remember to actually use the active, that is.

Freaking greedy Yi players only picking the hero to be OP and solo gank all game, making us lose all team fights 4v5 while he's dying trying to solo Dragon (and then complaining to quit feeding the other team).

[Aero]

Master Yi is like one of the worst carries in the game lol.

Oh god yes please. I just dominated a game as Sona and would be happy never playing anything but Alistar and Sona ever again >_>

Yi sucks in team fights unless he is fed/farmed like crazy or that is how I think. He should just be constantly pushing lanes, which in turn should make the fights less 4v5 and more 4v4 or sometimes 4v3 seeing how most teams are retarded and send 2 people to push a lane back.

[Deftscythe]

Yi in team fights need to play like an assassin and wait for the other team to engage and blow their CC, then come in on a flank and mop up. That said, you can get the same thing from Nocturne who is a much better overall champ. I've actually been wanting to try out Yi again since the slight buff to QSS. He's really fun but just way too easy to shut down.
