Summoner Spells Back to Top

is a mandatory summoner spell for

. It allows for devastating combos and to escape even the deadliest ganks.

Exhaust stops burst and is especially effective against melee champions. It has direct synergy with

's soldiers, allowing you to attack them for longer. All of this makes it my preferred second summoner spell. It is great to counter bursty champions like

, allowing you to survive their burst and kill them at the same time.

Heal is one of my favourite options as it's the most versatile one. It is especially relevant versus long-ranged skillshot champions like

; secondary sudden burst of movement speed allows you to to efficiently dodge their important abilities. Keep in mind that it also heals your targeted teammate, too.

Less utilized, but still viable summoners:

Cleanse is generally quite weak but it's an option against teams with a lot of CC, especially CC that really can't be dodged. It's never a pick just against your midlaner( for example, you can't dodge or CC, but it's better to have to negate their burst), but it's a great choice if the enemy team is packed with crowd control.

You have to keep in mind that Cleanse does nothing against Suppressions and Displacements, so you shouldn't get it against in hopes of countering their CC because it won't work.

With

's way of dishing out damage,

is better for the actual killing part. As such, there isn't much reason to pick it on

specifically. But because you are discouraged to get

, it is a sound pick versus health regeneration freaks like

Jungle

is playable with

. I've personally won quite a few games with that. It requires a fairly different set up and is certainly not very optimal compared to the laning.

is the trademark of toplane. It's not the most popular summoner spell right now; but it's a very sound choice if you find yourself in the toplane as

, although I'd still prefer a different summoner as

is pretty bad when it comes to TP ganks.

I

Barrier isn't quite as versatile as

is and doesn't help as much as

versus burst.

With Fervor interaction removed Thunderlord's is the only reasonable choice. Deathfire touch doesn't even come close in comparison.

W	1							8		10			13	14
E			3									12			15	16		18
R						6					11						17

Although it might seem like maxing W first is a better idea since it allows you to chuck out more soldiers and improves your Attack Speed, I really don't feel this way - you want your Q maxed ASAP to ensure you can reposition your soldiers and to poke harder in lane. E is really more of a one-point wonder since it's used for escaping and overall mobility.

You might choose to level Q at level 3 and E at level 4 for some extra poke damage. I only recommend doing that if their jungler is someone like or got killed/was spotted ganking some other lane, because you really need your E to escape ganks.

If your ultimate is on cooldown while you hit level 11, I would say you should recommend levelling W instead, because you probably won't get to use it until after you hit level 12.

Items Back to Top

Starting Items

Doran's is the best item to start right now, it's insane, it gives so much mana regen, there's no other decision that is even close.

Core Items

You can get boots right after the Stinger or hold them off until after you get Rylai. Now that Fervor is no longer a thing, Sorcerer boots are naturally the best choice for a mage that deals 100% magic damage. Of course, if the enemy team is totally affined to one type of damage/has tons of crowd control, defensive boots might be a better option.
This item fits very well to Azir. Applying 40% slow constantly is not only brutal for chasing, but it keeps the enemies in your soldier's range.
nashor`s tooth is the most important part, and although you get good value for upgrading to Nashor's, getting Rylai's before that is usually better.
the farsight trinket is usually better for overall vision, and dont forget to buy pink wards to have the little extra vision on the map

Situational Items

If you're having problems with magic burst, you might as well stop having them with this item. It's an extremely effective defensive item and It's worth gettting it in every game against LB and Fizz after core items, but it's also a good one to get against AP teams in general
if your lane phase is going very good, you might as well get a Rabadon´s deathcap to get spme extra damage on your enemies
Void staff is a great item after your deathcap, and you should also buy it, if your enemies is building alot og magic resistance
A very good last item for self-protection if Zhonya's/Banshee Veil aren't enough.
