Ok i saw barracuddas video.
1) He wasn't even playing seriously
2) At 12:53 mentions asi and somewhere he mentioned runeforged + asi proc saved him
3) no where does he mention crits, frost bound, or void shield
4) yea listen to estidian. He's right about qins sais.

Gonna agree with Kriega here. If you're replacing boots you should really be looking at heavy damage, pen attack speed or heavy defense items. or for instance.

I can get behind Hydras but a lot kf the kther items dont make sense

(143) |

Spirit robe, hydras, void shield, frostbound?

Anyway where is qins?

-2

i decided quins wasn't too needed since we have hou yi's mark of the golden crow but the build is always welcome to change when you play

You're kidding me right? There's no way you were being serious when your wrote this.

Unfortunately due to the sentence structure you can't apply "kidding" in the same way. If that was your intent.

I bet you're real fun at parties.
