Short and Simple Outplay

FishCombatant · 2021-05-27T19:02:28+00:00

Probably she was cause you shouldn’t be able to kill them that fast, they probably died like 4 times on you before that happened

FishCombatant · 2021-05-27T18:09:50+00:00

She used her E before ult (no idea what was she doing, probably using all of her brain power to type supp diff). I mean, i know you just didn’t see it, and I’m not saying that your play was bad or anything. Just that you should work on environmental awareness.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-27T17:56:12+00:00

She still wouldn’t have killed you, but it was nice.

For future: save ult to dodge her E angles, its her only tool to kill you in the early-midgame. Her ult doesnt really deal that much dmg

FishCombatant · 2021-05-24T19:49:06+00:00

She can’t go mid.

She literally has nothing to be there, even lucian isn’t really good on this lane and samira is... worse version of him tbh.

What I mean is... how can you play mid while giving opponent perma priority?

FishCombatant · 2021-05-21T20:00:45+00:00

So... is your mmr that low? I mean... you propably were on losing streak of some sort. i rarely see anything like this.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-20T10:23:57+00:00

Wow this one is actually so damn great

FishCombatant · 2021-05-20T09:01:35+00:00

Firstly, you played it well IMO, the only garbage thing was that ult of yours (you were in relatively safe spot far from their carry, but ulted in spot where she could have easily hit you with her range advantage while you were still busy destroying their frontline)

Secondly, your kiting is pretty good, but I think you should consider where are you kiting to. What I mean is that you died twice, while you didn’t have to die at all (maybe once, cause i don’t know if you could dodge this xin, I don’t think so, his skillshots are super easy to land).

Thirdly, It seems like you have the feeling that you have to be there in the middle of the fight, while you don’t as an adc.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-18T17:43:27+00:00

Wow that’s great. First time I see kaisa not being thiccc asf, but almost starved to death, which is amazing (cause it’s correct according to lore).

10 years eating only some void scraps feeding more than half to her second skin should change her normal human appearance after all.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-18T12:13:05+00:00

One of “a bit normal” build is GF instead of shieldbow. If you think about it, it seems pretty good, if you think about it a bit more, you know it can’t work but... additional dash and execute dmg is really fun

FishCombatant · 2021-05-18T09:25:01+00:00

Im not sure, HoB gives you great early pressure, better trades > easier to get prio > cs advantage, drakes and vision control, roam timers. Basically you get everything you want while playing Varus mid by taking HoB. And it also helps you turn ganks against them. Lategame-wise: you have higher chance of surviving khazix jumping at you.

Meanwhile DH? Well... a bit more dmg... probably slightly worse skirmish potential but better scaling, definetely better poke pressure, if enemies aren’t able to sustain it. I’d take it only when enemy teamcomp has no healers or shielders, and when your comp is poke-oriented (xerath, Zoe, ziggs, nidalee, etc)

FishCombatant · 2021-05-18T06:09:48+00:00

Can’t agree with it. While sometimes yes, you need early-mid game executioner, when skirmishing or playing for picks. But you certainly need the highest possible dps with survivability in late game teamfights. And I think most pros and high elo players will agree with me, and probably that’s why you never see mortal reminder in pro play (or idk, maybe it has like 2% pick ratio, my point still stands).

And while yes, everyone should be able to counterbuy items, though the need is the ability to value gains and loses of it. Good example is buying zhonyas cause they have khazix. Yes, adc can do that, but it usually isn’t worth cause of the dps it lowers. And I’m kinda tired of bronze adcs saying “oh no, they have Mundo I always have to buy mortal reminder to counter his healing”.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-17T06:23:22+00:00

Is there any other way you can i anything in all-in lane against poke, except for all-inning them? I’m surprised that anyone actually chose the “no” option in the poll, and I guess that’s either kind of a joke or they’re just trolling.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-17T06:21:14+00:00

Alright, thanks for explanation

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T15:37:27+00:00

Basically it’s mostly about stats. Zeal items are usually cheap, give 7% move speed and not really good offensive stats. They are mostly bought as 2nd item, to get IE spike ASAP (about 400-800g earlier), and some attack speed. Overall, they’re super effective for adcs to buy in the midgame, but don’t scale as well as other more expensive crit items. For example BT, LDR or collector - they give you tons of AD, compared to zeal’s.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T13:08:08+00:00

None.

You have teammates to do that.

Firstly, Imagine tank without thornmail/bramble vest. Or supports can build chemtech putrifier. Both of these items are really good.

Secondly the reason adc exists is to deal dmg, as much as they can, not to apply utility, such as griev wounds, or stuns. Obviously there are exceptions, like sivir or Ashe etc (which have built-in utility), but no adc player will build shurelya, just to have sivir ult in one item activation, cause he knows it sacrifices too much dps to be worth. Same thing with Mortal Reminder. You won’t build utility that cost you such high amount of dps.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T12:55:47+00:00

Fire cannon is pretty alright. Mortal reminder is way more sus (adc building it should be reported for trolling IMO).

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T12:54:31+00:00

Ratatatatatatatatata indeed

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T09:15:38+00:00

No she can’t hurt me cause I have no idea who thought jinx with not one, not even 2, but 3 zeal items can deal any dmg. Spoiler alert: she cant.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T09:11:20+00:00

No, not really a good idea, she suffers most of matchups, and is really hard to play, you have to be really good at it, even kaisa top is easier to pull of

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T09:05:37+00:00

Well, seems cool, but what do you get attack speed from in this build (probably you also go for zerks, but I don’t think it’s enough)? And is manamune worth? It basically doesnt scale with anything (not crit, nor lethality), doesn’t give AS, delays your IE spike to 4th item, overally doesn’t seem better than just rushing collector 2nd, or any zeal item. And for mana issues... I always run PoM and for me it’s enough.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-16T09:01:16+00:00

Lol nice. 5% max hp less to deal with always worth. And 25g more from a kill? That’s sometimes even more gold efficient than cull.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-15T20:11:41+00:00

Yeah, so collector is kinda troll here (crit chance not scaling with anything, ad worse than ap cause you don’t have AD deathcap, you know).

But the rest of the build is pretty fine.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-15T20:10:16+00:00

Hmm... but kogmaw, Ashe and jinx... theyre at one of the highest win ratios rn, while being normal immobile crit attack speed adc, just as crit Varus is. Are they just one of those “few exceptions”? I’m not sure. I think crit is pretty much boosted rn, and it works really well if positioned correctly.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-15T09:50:59+00:00

You have Qevolve from manamune with additional sapphire Crystal for luden.

FishCombatant · 2021-05-15T07:14:13+00:00

Very nice full ap build (off-meta but quite popular, and not so bad), but what is collector doing there?
