What is the Nasus of botlane?

What ADC has a playstyle most like Nasus/Kassadin/Kayle where:

>your early game is crap, but as long as you manage to stay somewhat even in CS you pretty much run them over at 25+ minutes?

Attack move vs attack move click

So I’ve been using attack move and I feel like it’s better but I see a lot of higher level players use the attack click or attack move click (whichever one shows the attack range before clicking again) personally I use the attack move on left click so I find it quicker and more comfortable, but I’m curious on what the pros and cons are of each?

Masters for the first time! Playing mostly Ashe, and Nami when filled.

Is Ashe, MF and Kai'sa a good trio to limit myself to if I want to climb to Diamond?

This season I hit Emerald 4 60 LP, which is currently my peak, my results in the elo are inconsistent though. Even when I feel like I'm doing my best, I keep dropping to P1 and climbing back to E4. The thought process is obvious, limiting the champion pool will help me improve with other aspects of the game.

Ashe for when the team can front to back, MF for when the team can set me up, and Kai'sa for when the enemy team has only 1 or 2 carries and we only have to assassinate them to win teamfights.

That's my view of it, but there is probably something I'm missing. Any thoughts?

How do you go about learning ADC without making a smurf account?

So I am a support main (low master peaker currently diamond 3) and after a while I kinda started having less and less fun on support unless I lock in off meta picks which makes my teammates instantly tilted making it miserable to play the game out. I want to learn ADC as my new main role and would love to hear how some of u who role swapped went about it. The normal game experience has been miserable and unbalanced making it hard to learn anything. Do I just continue with normal games till the matchmaking gets better or go straight to ranked and terrorize my teammates for a little while till I derank to where my ADC skill level belongs? Also if u guys know any good educational content creators for ADC (I only know Saber) I'd love to check them out.

Best adcs to pick up.

Hello,

I am doing a challenge with my friend where he challenged me to hit plat with adcs in 100 games. I have relatively little experience with ranged characters and have been playing mostly ad bruisers and mages. Which adcs would you guys say are best for this type of thing. There are some banned characters (ziggs, jhin, smolder and all apcs).

Additionally i would probably say that micro is my worse quality and im better in macro if it matters.

What are your top bans ?

For a while now i've been only banning Nafiri but i'm wondering if this is the right ban right now ? I don't know how much Nafiri is played since i always ban her.

Am i wasting my ban here ? What should i ban in this meta instead ?

Realistically, who are the omnivamp boots for?

I'm scratching my head over who the new Omnivamp boots actually fit on at least half the time, and I've come up wity a few winners, but the more I think about it, the more niche they are.

For bot lane, I'm drawing up Samira, Draven, and MF as the actual users.

Samira is probably the best champ for them, given she doesn't need the haste of lucidities, AS of Berserkers, and often opts into whichever tank boots are most appropriate after 2nd oe 3rd item. Throughout her history, Samira has often had higher winrares rushing BT foe the sustain in lane and ability to survive and reset in teamfights early. These boots may be a good way to get that early heal power without delaying mobility or dumping a massive amount of gold into a non-crit item. Given her relative disdain for Zeal items, does this actually give Samira a reasonable 4th slot for Shieldbow? Is the build ER -> IE - LDR/MR -> Shieldbow?

Draven comes to mind because he doesn't need a massive amount of attack speed thanks to his W and how often he runs Lethal Tempo. He is also a champ we often see delaying t2 boots until 2nd/3rd item and rushing BT.

In that same vein, we can lump in Miss Fortune maybe?

Ezreal comes to mind given hybrid damage, but Lucidities + Cosmic Insight is just insane value on him, right? Given his boosted AP scalings, we'd just opt for Gunblade 3rd or 4th item, no?

Jhin and Senna come in as honorable mentions, but I feel like the Snipe-and-reposition playstyle is more of a Swifties angle than omnivamp. Or is Fleet good enough for that on its own that we can reconsider?

Most hypercarries are a hard no. Too many are tied to the insanely good value of Berserker's. No way we run these boots on conventional builds of Jinx, Twitch, Aphelios, Yunara, Kai'Sa.

Tahm kench support

Is tahm support just supposed to lane bully? I know about matchups in jungle and mid, but i dont really know how to threat matchups in 2vs2, am i supposed to counterpick the tahm w something like ashe or vayne? I either get a good support matchup or ill suffer ? I play w a friend of mine as a support he usually plays hooks and tahm feels like too much, whenever he feels like It he just W in, doesnt Matter if he hits It or not he just walks forward and normally gets a positive trade, all i usually do is get lane froze and lose Minions

What adc pick would you add in to complement kaisa?

I play only kaisa basically but I've been stuck at almost perfect 50% winrate ever since I started otping her. It's because I stomp in favorable match ups and do pretty bad in rough lanes vs strong combos and especially bad with enchanter supports without reliable hard cc.

I've been looking into what champs I could learn so I can pick them in games where Kai'sa is a bad pick but it's been quite a struggle to find something useful. Ezreal and Jhin are my other two strongest champs but they have been in a very bad state forever and they don't feel nearly as impactful as before.

I tried Caitlyn but after ending with like 15% winrate in 12 games, I decided to keep her as my perma ban. I tried Xayah but I hate playing around the feathers and the low attack range is annoying. I tried Ashe but I hate being such a free kill for everything that moves, same with Jinx.

I thougt Yunara or Vayne might be worth a try but being so dependent on ult being up feels restricting.

Would you change Guardian angel for zhonyas ?

So no more guardian angel for Ad champs and no revives instead you will get Ad zhonyas with the same armor value. Would you accept this or not?

Watching alois adc stream thoughts

He is the lamest adc i've ever watched. His champ pool is smolder and corki only. Its like watching nasus or mage bot. All i see on his screen is farming and flame sp jg mid and top.

Can ADC have active items?

Why does no marksman item (except quicksilver) has an active? are we not skilled enough to press a button? Other roles have slow, aoe attack, dash, target slow, stasis, shield (and lets not include support items) what we get? Remove cc which is a very situational item.

Don't get me wrong, the passives are strong, but most are not fun.. Maybe a dash or a shield, or trade crit % for dmg reduction% for 3 seconds idk..

Need Help with a champ pool

Hey everyone! Low elo Ex adc main here

So basically I took a break from the game since the end of s15. Now that I am back, I ofc returned to my main role adc. But the new s16 changes pretty much changed some stuff. I'm slowly trying to recover and learn everything again.

But one thing that I need help with is, what are some champions I should play this season? I was and still am a Jhin otp but I know he doesn't do very well against certain teams. Whom would you all suggest me to play alongside him to create a champ pool of my own?

So far those are my criteria:

- Not really forced to share a similar playstyle to Jhin. Can be anything.

- good for low elo

- In a good spot in the current meta

- Not support dependant

All advices are appreciated<3

High elo support, climbing as adc for the first time

Im a peak top 1500 Euw support player, currently a casual player the last 7 seasons hitting master tier and then decaying. As a change i swapped to smurf account and played adc thru platinum up to diamond in 100 games. I played mostly yunara and lucian, now im trying to learn xayah.

First of all - wave management of the average adc in low dia is pretty bad. This is and general macro is what wins me most games. In a prio lane, stacking wave and getting a base off at 450 gold and buying cull while support holds the wave is such a winning formula. This is my main advantage in this elo.

Also if you win a 2v2 early and have a heavy engage support you can freeze wave —> all in —> bounce the wave and repeat. One example is me being 130 cs vs 30 as lucian/thresh lane vs varus/leona.

Where i struggle - what is the most reliable way to spread my lead into the map. Ofc i can get prio and roam off that, but in a game where im the only fed player what should i look for? Is it bounty hunting? Ping pong waves mid / defending? Going high risk high reward?

Back in the day it was rather swap to top and seige than swap mid. Now swapping mid and getting prio seems only worth because it enables support + jubgle with that prio. But the Adc isnt really exceeding there most of the time, atleast not me.

Im currently d3 50lp. Main goals right now are average 8.5-9 cs/min. Decrease my average deaths from 7 down to 4 xd.

Any general tips are welcome regarding key factors when it comes to carrying as adc.
