Been suggesting it in my Morgana guide forever bruh. EZ cuz you shove hard and then have 10-15 seconds before the next wave comes in you can drop a pool on your lane opponent to collect your $$$. Or just shove to turret and proc it off that if they're being super-wussy. I mean obviously it's stupid good at the moment but the point being that it was borderline good enough even before they buffed gold items.
You mean Spellthief anyway, FQC is the end upgrade which doesn't do anything to the gold generation over Tier 2 item. But you can get that now too since it stole spooky ghosts RIP Twin Shadows. spooky ghosts r gud on morg
FQC means you can get the gold generation passive and kill creeps at the same time. New spooky ghosts are really strong too (40% slow for 4s, super long range, targetted, and can be used as a scouting tool, forgiving cd). You do lose out a bit of stats compared to Morello though, but FQC is still at least a cheap source of strong mana regen and the later payoffs are awesome. And again, spooky ghosts :D
Still beyond me how people haven't figured out to use gp10 items in aram.

Well, Spellthief line is super OP on poke champs. Relic Shield is mostly for the execute + sustain as shitty melee champs, Coin blows unless you really want Talisman for the active. Gold generation is less important compared to Howling Abyss' ginormo passive gold gain but Frostfang pays for itself twice over by like 15 minutes so yeah.

Yeah the jungle isn't any easier with the new items, I'd say it's even harder than before because the items are more expensive, it blows. Don't know if it got easier for other junglers, but clearing with Elise was 5x easier before the new items, hating the jungle so much right now I dodge queue if I have last pick...
Also turrets are so ridiculously easy to take down now (except for the first one, which seems pretty much like it was before, the inner towers and beyond are paper thin) that the go-to strategy is just splitpushing for the win. Boring I guess but as LizardMan said you get easy wins (at least vs lower elo)
Also blue trinket on 2+ players of a team is broken right now too... so easy to get vision everywhere with that super low cooldown and no limit. Yeah you have to put them on brushes but it's really really good

Did anybody say FQC was great? http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/19023027#matches
Watch that guy's replays, pretty scary

Guinsoo's cost is being upped to 2800 from 2500, but it will still be a pretty good item. If you can use all of AD, AP and AS then it has insane cost efficiency at max stacks (like 200%+) and the passive is pretty neat as well. Stupid good on champs like Xin.
I don't think Irelia's will build it anymore unless theyre super snowballing, which was a shame bc Guinsoos rush Irelia was absolutely hilarious, guinsoos, icb into gunblade if youre snowballing was absolutely brutal. Now tho it'll be kinda similar to the old botrk / zephyr rush where if you end getting like first blood + double gank bot or something you might build it, but I think it'll just be better to go the classic trinity build
I've been trying to bring back AD fizz, and i've replaced tri force with guinsoo's. So far, it's working out pretty well, as I beat a fed fiora 1v1 with just guinsoos. Still testing it, but I think it has huge potential.
sometimes I read comments, such as in the article about Worlds warding
Jax too considering he was one of the few that built it way back when.
Apparently Rageblade+Triforce is good again? Would like to fit Gunblade into the build somewhere as well (Gunblade+Rageblade+Triforce is old-school S1 Jax) especially as it's really hard to itemize against him.
I'm not a Jax player but I play quite a bit of Xin, and I find that Guinsoo's works quite well with Iceborn Gauntlet. With the slows, your ability to stick to other champs is enormous, allowing you to easily stack your Guinsoo's and do ridiculous amounts of damage. I like Hextech as well, better than Trinity Force, because of more damage output, and Iceborn Gauntlet also has the Sheen proc built in already.
GUINSOO'S ON EVERYONE!?!?!
Won games with Guinsoo's/Hextech Irelia, Kog'Maw, and Master Yi in my last couple games, and it's honestly so good I can see it working on any auto attack based champion with at least one spell that scales with AP. The free stats it gives is absolutely insane, so jump on the train now before they nerf it into uselessness.
Devourers/Rageblade would be fantastic if games weren't decided by 15 minutes.

Devourer dcap rageblade void nashors ruuna's
AP kog Jung is legit I swear
(Real tho devourer is 2bad on ranged which is sad but there's a video of cowsep's sick skills as ap yi with devourer rage blade. Pretty lulzy with phantom hit and double strike passive both procing rage blade.)
That fucking E is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
