Talk:Athene's Unholy Grail/@comment-8197879-20130418040531

Eh. Honestly? I don't mind the low AP too much. 60's still respectable, and I'm willing to shell out the gold for it for a single trait it has.

Athene's Unholy Grail more or less means infinite mana. All the other stats are just icing on the cake to me. Chalice of Harmony still runs out occasionally. I have yet to successfully deplete an Athene's Unholy Grail without something that constantly increases in cost or can spend it for a really long time, like Swain's ult, Anivia's ult, or Karthus's E.

That aside, it's perfectly tailored to the later parts of the laning phase in mid. AP and magic resist to help in trades, and mana regeneration and cooldown reduction to help with farming. Sometimes I think it's better than blue buff because you can't give it to an enemy if you die, and blue buff's regeneration scales off your maximum mana, while Athene's scales off your mana regeneration, of which the grail itself gives a lot. I like that, personally. Having just mana items means you'll run out eventually, however long that takes. Athene's? You never will.

I may not be some sort of ultra-awesome 2200+ ELO player or anything, but hey, I like the item. Aren't I entitled to my own opinion, even if I'm not ridiculousy good at the game?
