No, I'm not a smurf. 5 months is not that new. I saw mistake on Tristana's page, and needed an account to fix it. Might as well use it while I have it.

I read it, but decided not to respond. If you can't see why 1% bonus damage on spells and autos is not worth health stacking, there is no reason trying explaining it to you. The bonus 10% health also doesn't justify health stacking, as it increase effective health more than actual health.

For the fun of it, lets do the math on 1% bonus damage.

With your suggested build, Nunu will have 4565 hp at level 18. That gives 46 bonus damage. Given that everyone has 30 MR at the start of the game (by this point, most people will have more. I'm just keeping it at 30 for simplicity). 30 MR = 23% magic damage reduction, so Nunu gets a bonus 36 damage.

Now the math on my alterations. Because it seems you designed that build to counter Vayne, I'll sort of do the same with Frozen Heart, Randuin's Omen, Banshee's Veil, Zeke's Herald, and of course Face of the Mountain. Nunu will have 3865 hp at level 18. Nunu will have a bonus 39 damage. After natural MR, it will be a bonus 30 damage. A diffence of 6 damage is not worth building in a way that allows vayne to kill you quickly.

You said you build hp for the regen and shield. Unless you're playing Mundo (and maybe Olaf), you will never have enough regen to justify. Slowing Vayne's autos helps you tank much better.

The shields;

With 4656 hp, FotM shields for 466.

With 3865 hp, FotM shields for 387.

79 extra shield will not help against a Vayne that's doing extra damage because you decided to focus on health.
