Yesterday was Tiamat Tuesday! Five champs with 5 tiamats. I ran a jungle tryn with long sword, one health potion, smite and heal. Tryn is so freaking easy to jungle with that I was able to start at wolves, kill wolves before blue spawned, then switch to blue and kill it thanks to that summoner heal and smite then move on to wraiths slightly faster than usual due to a long sword instead of cloth armor. So you think, "Yeah but without wriggles, jungling's gonna be way slower" right? Wrong. Tiamat rips through the jungle, giving you rage when you splash the small creeps to death as Tryn and as soon as you get the second one, you can just go collect the buffs in 3 or 4 seconds.

5 people with 5 tiamats, you WILL out farm and out push your opponents. There's just no way they can stand up to your pushing power.

Tiamats are cheaper than most of the items people try to build. The BF sword builds into things, yes, but for only 420 additional gold you get 5 more AD than a BF sword and crazy pushing power. Put that on your entire team with, say, a TF for a little extra gold, and you have one hell of a troll team that is really difficult to counter. Sure if they actually manage to get into their item builds you are ruined, and if they manage to shut you down early you don't stand a chance... but all Tiamats shuts THEM down most of the time. We won 11 of our 13 Tiamat Tuesday games. The two we lost both had leavers. (by the way, we were doing this with 4 premades and one guy who had no idea what was going on and usually fed because he didn't buy tiamats. ;3 There is nothing quite as satisfying as a guy who is 0 and 7 calling you a noob for having a bad build when he is ZERO KILLS AND SEVEN DEATHS.)

Oh and having heal for lategame is actually rather nice because Tryn's heal plus summoner heal means oh look smite didn't kill me afterall.
