Diamond Arrow). Use this strength help your jungler who should be diving with you late game. Venomous Haze in your lane to deal damage to minions so you don't miss out on xp/gold if you leave lane to collect your blue buff. If you put the 'puddle' on the Totem of Ku and use Submerge to place 2 extra puddles in the same spot you can secure it without even attacking it yourself and can keep pressure in lane. Consuming Bellow nearby at least one of your 'puddles' as this will increase the damage it deals up to a maximum of 3.
Submerge or The World Serpent to escape danger.
teleport glyph
Immovable, lack of instant mobility and his already slow movement speed he can get caught by heavy slows often and this can save him often without having to waste his beads, or instead of beads into slow heavy comps instead of hard CC heavy comps.
Jormungandr, why they are useful and when to purchase them
Gilded Arrow is equal to 188 magical power which you can get at level 1, and the upgrade to Diamond Arrow at level 20 giving +80 basic attack power is equal to 1000 magical power!
Mantle of Discord is a strong defence item, that works wonders on any build on any class. This helps you achieve your late game front lining potential with high defence stats, however, you can really push the limit with your ultimate escape and overstay because if people try to lock you down while you're ulting to escape? It stuns them all and you can escape safely, because of the high price and it's higher potential only being reached late game, you should maybe be buying this 5th/6th or replacing your boots with it.
Venomous Haze, Submerge and The World Serpent while they also provide a slow. This means you can stack the slow of your 'puddles' with Gem of Isolation which can provide a lot of utility to your team in the late game. Because of it isn't a core item I would purchase this towards the end of your build or maybe to swap boots.
Jormungandr is immune to hard displacement, so he cant be thrown by 
Xing Tian or ulted by 
Hades. However he takes 10% more damage for 2 seconds after being hit by the hard displacement, and is also slowed for 20%. In short, this can be what saves you or what kills you so savour the moments where you aren't being dropped in a 
Scylla ult by a 
Cerberus ult but watch out for when 
Sobek procs your passive allowing others to really hurt you.
Venomous Haze provides decent ranged damage and is primarily used to set up the 3 and/or 2. It can easily proc item effects that are triggered from being hit by abilities, due to the long time the Venomous Haze 'puddle' is on the ground for along with the large space it takes up and the number of them you can have up. As I pointed out earlier with Stone of Binding because of the slow you can proc the item for every tick from stepping in a 'puddle'. This ability, along with the 2 and the 3 all interact with each other, allowing for more 'puddles' and more damage.
Jormungandrs cake. This AOE deals a tremble CC and enormous damage, but if that wasn't enough, you get bonus damage for every 'puddle' up to 3. At max rank in 3 'puddles' this will allow you to deal 480+60% of your Magical power, also when using a 'puddle' the range is increased to 30. You should try to get the bonus damage at any opportunity possible, although it is still good without a 'puddle'.
Submerge as the name implies, gives you invisibility as you submerge under the ground and gain 30% movement speed, you can end this ability early or wait the full 5 seconds to engage an AOE knockup, dealing damage around you. This can be used to engage targets, or if you emerge through a 'puddle' it will spawn 2 more 'puddles' in an area in front of you, granting you the maximum for bonus damage and range if you are in range of all 3 'puddles' on your second ability, Consuming Bellow.
Venomous Haze and Submerge you can have a total of 7 'puddles' down at one time covering an enormous area.
Venomous Haze then Submerge to emerge through the first 'puddle' and place 2 more allows you to deal the maximum bonus damage from Consuming Bellow.
Submerge so you have 3 puddles to deal bonus damage with Consuming Bellow. I use Venomous Haze here at the end for extra confirmable damage but you can use it at any point in this combo and feel okay.
Jormungandr is an absolute monster when it comes to laning, boxing, teamfighting, pressure, and pretty much everything you need when it comes to the Solo lane, I hope this build was useful, thank you for reading!

You could forgo it and try to just proxy and be annoying but that isn't where his main strength is (was) in my opinion.
Doom Orb has no place in a solo lane build for Jorm at all. Better off with Ethereal Staff or Soul Reaver.
The whole point of why Doom Orb is being picked up in the current meta is in Mid lane due to the
I don't post comments to try and be annoying or for the sake of it, it's to try and help people understand the game better. You can comment on my recent ones if you want, but unless you have actually criticisms that make sense I'm not going to take it in.
-Yourself looking foolish by either not knowing the state of the game or inadeptness with the forum platform (or a forum in general).
- Looking revengeful/malicious as it looks like you're trying to discredit someone when their understanding of the game was lower.
If I can recommend something for next time, that will show the intentions you aimed at, instead of looking for a recent comment thread just create your own comment thread with feedback about the currently shown build if there are no recent comments (or if the discussion in the recent comments is something totally different then you want to add).
2. I never felt you were "attacking me", I never said or implied that once, only you have said that and comments about "malice". I said you are commenting for the sake of it and I stand by that statement.
3. Disregarding Devampi's opinion because he does "not have a guide prepared for this upcoming season" is slightly 'big headed'. Not to try and gloat for him but he wouldn't have over 100 Rep given to him for helping in comments.
4. Everyone has the right to criticise on other builds on this site, someone could make an account today and comment his thoughts on your build. There is no such thing as "unrightfully criticising". Just like you have the right to criticise mine, my point in responding though is that it is pointless criticising something that doesn't exist anymore; if you want to waste time doing that though it is fine.
5. Your point about critiquing songs makes no sense. Film Critics don't make films or star in films, their job is to watch it and critique it. Anyone can have an opinion on anything without being well versed in it, it's up to the person being criticsed whether they want to take it in or ignore it, which you are free to do.
6. You know nothing about my knowledge of the Solo lane. I'm not going to sit here and brag stats or anything of the like and if you want me to be honest I'll say that if you look at my builds and say "his build is not better than mine so why is he trying to critique it?" then you are delusional, not because I think mine are amazing but because you seem to think that your errors are correct.
7. How on earth was I trying to "bite off more than I can chew" and posting my comment in a way that wasn't trying to help? I was not rude in any way, I pointed out how I would build him and good options for him and you disagreed which is fine and I left it at that. Devampi agreed with me and made the same points and you seem to think that his was much nicer.
My current builds that are all updated to S7.11 are all fine in the items and written context. Replying to a comment about me building Doom Orb or Ob Shard over a year ago when I clearly do not anymore does NOT put you on a pedestal that you are a better player than me (not saying that either of us are better than each other) to just assume that everything I am saying is nonsense; and just because Devampi doesn't have a guide does not mean he doesn't know what he was talking about either. Coming at him with this huge paragraph because he left a fairly polite comment explaining how you might seem malicious even if you weren't. Just very strange behaviour from what I assume is an adult.
Using an example of critiquing a song is completely different and not analogous to critiquing an outdated build. Build optimization can change even from patch to patch. And while build preference or expectation of effectiveness can be somewhat subjective, a song is a very subjective thing to each individual and there's no concept of "effectiveness" there. If you like a song from The Beatles, The Allman Bros, Depeche, Michael Jackson or Beyonce, it's just...not the same thing.
I feel that this comment thread is just a lot of back and forth and defending of everyone's own positions. It's something that I understand, but don't think is necessary to continue. Can we please stop and move on?
Me responding a few days later had more to do with me not visiting the site because of work the last few days.Also ToneBone, I didn't think you had any malicious intent when posting the comment (just wanted to clarify what happened). Also welcome to SmiteFire
Also Bran, maybe a thing for the Devs I think the profile page needs some improvements. at this moment when you visit someone's profile you see the original created date of the guide, but not when it was updated until you open it.
EDIT: is it me or did the 2 other comments just disappear?
EDIT2: seems the comments are not gone just hidden cause of the limited space by this long thread, another thing to have the devs check out (can access the hidden ones through the recent discussion)
I never said my builds are perfect in fact I did say in my last comment that there are issues that can be noted. I don't mind if you take my advice or not.
