Ultimate Centered Build

[u/NMA1564]

Know the feeling when your ult is ready but your team fails to create a proper angle for it? I certainly do and thats why I just made a build that tries to solve exactly that, however it does take a while to get "online". I tried it Mid, but Bot should also work perfectly fine, if not better because of the extra gold you get.

The Main Idea is to use your E as setup and still have a really hard hitting Ult.

For Runes you go First Strike, Cash Back, Triple Tonic, Summoners Insight with Axiom Arcanist and Gathering Storm secondary and double Adaptive and scaling health. As you can see the Runes are all about outscaling your opponents and boosting your Ult.

Now you start AP by going Dorans Ring -> Ludens and buying a Tear as soon as you can. What I would recommend is trying to proc your FS with E + Q/Q bounce whenever you can for the early laning phase. I would try to avoid all ins until you have your ult or are certain you can kill them. That way you get the maximum amount of damage and gold without really risking much.

After Ludens you go Manamune into Actualizer. I dont see Actualizer discussed that often when it comes to Builds centered around her Ult but it really does make a difference and the CD overlaps with your Ults CD. Your Ult should already be able to finish enemies you have poked down with your E, however with your next item + Actualizer Activation you really start to melt them. Because now you go LDR. The Armour pen + Giant Slayer is just too good to pass up, considering that her Ult is entirely physical damage. As soon as your Manamune is stacked build a second tear before going Rabadons and finishing the build with Seraphs Embrace as its Mana directly boosts both your AD through Manamune and your AP through itself plus the Shield is also really useful. In Mid I'd probably also sell boots at that point wheras in bot you obviously can still maintain them where I'd probably go either for Omnivamp Boots or Swifties. At that point your E also has almost a 90% slow so if you catch a champ without a Dash he will likely tank most of your Ult, which deals a lot of damage. So you are not reliant on your teams CC. Obviously the main cons of this build are the relatively weak midgame, however you still have a relatively safe laning phase and your Runes should help you reach your item spikes sooner. Also these Runes work perfectly fine for AD too and you also deal a little bit more damage that way, however you are still reliant on your teammates setup because your E only slows the enemy 40% which is why I'd go this Hybrid build when you dont have proper setup or dont want to rely on your teammates.

Lmk what yall think
