best flow chart; i concede.



it's a form of charm and humor in it's own right. does anyone really think that i'm going to be such a hard ass elitist that i am completely closed to all forms of critique?

get real.

unintelligent/10

also, what's the problem with avarice blades? is the problem with avarice that you think they're gold inefficient? or that i'm not upgrading them? virtually every 2k+ pirate stacks philostones. avarice blades with mana regen streamlines the build in that you get faster/more crit, spend less gold, and get the same gold/time.



i have stated my personal opinions on why you would play pirate and what niches he serves that he uniquely brings to the table. i personally feel that the most commonly seen philostone stack approach trades off too much for not enough. pirate golds hard, and he can use it to get the most fucking item leverage over any other carry; i don't think philostones are worth it when you can rune for mana regen, and get hp back with properly managed scurvy-usage.



what about the fact that there is clearly a footnote a cm next to it.

do you realize how absurd the disclaimer is? have you read the q/a?

are you taking any of this seriously?

i can't even believe this right now.

Why should I listen to the advice from a guide that isn't to be taken seriously? What the fuck...

What if I was genuinely interested in why you chose crit chance over crit damage? You would tell me to fuck off?

If I asked you what you thought about warmogs/atma on him you would tell me to stfu?

it's like all of these points have been addressed elsewhere, so i can afford to waste some time with jokes.

it's like i said in the guide that gearing for 100% crit chance is difficult, so you can't afford to get anything else. i would love armor pen, but it simply wouldn't be reasonable.

it's like i said that playing tankplank is very inefficient because he doesn't lack inherent threat as opposed to other characters that you could easily pick like shen.
