[GUARDIANS] God Class Discussion Megathread - Week of May 07, 2018

I should add that if you build your supports/tanks kinda bruiser, that's fine too.

My top 5 overrated items for Tank Guardians:

5. Void Stone: I won't lie, I still like this item and I do build this a lot, mostly because its relatively cheap and the stats on paper are good. However, its a jack of all trades type item and as a result, the impact it has on the match is mitigated by a balanced team comp. I would rather have Pestilence for magical protections on a bruiser or Tanky build.

4. Spirit Robe: I would think this is the perfect item against bursty teams with a lot of crowd control but the protections on this item alone are insufficient against a coordinated team with decent item builds. For countering CC (or rather, for countering the punishing damage from being hit with hard CC), I think Magi's is superior. It's a lot cheaper too. For countering sheer burst, I think you should save the gold and get the Mantle of Discord. I think despite it costing more it has a better bang for the buck. And for utter tankiness I think Hide of the Urchin is still a good pick up even if you have a hard time getting it stacked because it has roughly the same stats for just 50 gold less.

3. Bulwark of Hope: I don't see as much of this anymore but I still believe that for the price, there are better options, simply put.

2. Mystical Mail: I see this on all kinds of warriors and guardians and it don't seem to matter what the enemy team comp is. It's especially irritating on a game mode like arena. Now im guilty of having built Mystic Mail on arena too, but for some people, it's a staple. I don't know what it is about this item that people like for that price, but sovereignty and Midgardian Mail are both better, and they are significantly cheaper.

1. Reinforced Shoes: This item was great, if maybe overpowered when it first got that rework. I don't remember when that was but I do know that for the gold, it had amazing potential. Then it got nerfed and I Really don't believe it has any major advantages over Pen boots or CD boots. And yet I'll still see it built in casuals on guardians trying to be as Tanky as possible but hit like a wet noodle
