"Unevent I summon you."

Pro upload. Clearly I'm the noob here.

"This is the competitive late game karthus build, no stacking flat penetration and hipster builds."

Ah, yes. Karthus has been a big thing in the competitive scene recently, after all.

Very nice. No-one can edit screenshots, after all.

Let's look at the actual numbers and see what they yield. Your build was RoA-Seraph's-Sorcs-Hat-Hourglass-Void, yes?

RoA - 80AP Seraph's - 60AP Void - 70AP Hat - 120AP Zhonya - 120AP

Seraph's passive AP - 3%*(270+(61*18)+650+1000) = 90.54

AP quints = 15 AP

Total AP so far = 555.54

Rabadon's = 30%AP increase = 722.20

Archmage (assuming multiplicative stacking) = 758.31 (assuming additive stacking) = 750

Granted, I missed the Mental Force mastery, but a quick run into a bot game with Karthus revealed that my numbers are right and the AP with this build is in the 700s, not "about 900". (http://i.imgur.com/CHBTbeM.png - all AP masteries, MPen marks and Spellvamp quints - AP quints would still not bring the AP to even 800)

@Taxidriver Oh, do go away dear. Your points don't become any less wrong by siding with someone else that happens to disagree with me after you ran away from our last debate, and you're still far too fond of argumentum ad hominem and strawmen.
