@Odaswifteye It was all good until the rant at the end... Otherwise, all options, but the current meta is "Finish as fast as possible, so min-max for early damages to kill enemy, win game". It sucks, but that's what it has come to.

Counter Logic's extended control style is very out of style and impossible for non-premade. So items like Muramana & Sword of the Occult that require games to go pretty late are unpopular because they take so long to be effective.

Iceborn is fine (I actually like both it and FM), but it takes a certain type of playstyle that is not effective on every champ (Ashe & Ez could use it okay, so could Riven, but Varus would be terrible with it.) Sword of the Divine is really only effective as a finisher for high-crit champs (Yasuo, Ashe, Caitlyn, etc.) because otherwise once the active is over even the base AS is gone and any advantage that would have come from the item is lost (Caitlyn really likes it to build up to headshot. ;) ).
