This is a classic indicator of why damage charts aren't good comparisons. Zwag's team had a combined HP of about 13k, whereas the enemy team had a combined hp of about 22k, beyond that irelia and hec have insane in combat healing, so in any given team fight the enemy team is splitting at most 13k, whereas zwag team is splitting 25+.

It wasn't so much complaining about them getting MR, it was more irritation on the fact that he had 0 deaths and was running them over the whole game and they still managed to out scale him res wise and become practically unlikable.

Early game you shouldn't be using mana on e unless it's necessary, so getting it second is not worth it. Also it has less duration the closer they are, so a lot of the time, Irelia will dash, you'll guarantee land that e, and she still usually gets at least 2 autos on you. At least if she jumps on you and you have w, the trade is a little more even. It's one of those things where it seems right, but it's a trap.

Been teeling my friends for years how faker champs are annoying because their items are so much better than mages and they get a lot more bang for their buck with just one item... And riot refuses to balance them because 'they require more skill to play so they get better rewards for it', and by more skill they mean you just all in your enemy and they don't get to counterplay your burst. Also been teeling the about how annoying tanks are as they literally build one item then even the feed mages have to dedicate 5-6 rotatios of their kit to kill them even though the squishies still die to 1-2 rotations on their kits... But my top laner friend swears they're not overwhelming at all, and its fair that tanks and bruiser still have kill pressure without a single full damage item. Meanwhile if you were to remove kill pressure from these champs to force them to build like mages and adcs are forced to, the collective tears would cause a second amazonian basin to appear somewhere on the world until it was inevitably reverted. Watching Zwag rant at the same things I do, though infuriating for him, at least makes me feel seen, so thanks Zwag.
