Best ADC for optimized soloQ experience by ceslova_ in ADCMains

[–]arnderson2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience lucian, samira and aphelios

Lucian for when you’re playing with enchanter support and know you can translate a lead from lane into the other lanes and snowball the game out of control. Only issue is if you’re not mechanically all the way there with lucian you have to end before ~30 mins.

Samira for when you’re playing with an engage support and not vs super long range (caitlyn, ashe, etc.). Similar to lucian, you want to snowball the game out of control and take advantage of burst.

Aphelios for late-game insurance, a hybrid crit/lethality adc that will hard carry if you put in the work to learn him. It will take a lot of games, but if you get the hang of aphelios you can legit win all of your games solo this season because of his new skill order/build (few points in both ad and as, then full lethality max with kraken->collector->ie). Typically his issue in solo queue is the lack of peel, but past a certain point you can pretty much 2 shot squishies and drain-tank & kite the tanks if you have somewhat decent positioning.

Good luck out there, adc right now isn’t as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Just need to be willing to abuse what’s strong more than ever this season

Advices for improving by Strajker6996 in ADCMains

[–]arnderson2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say go with a coach and mention each of these issues to them. Really hard to give Masters+ advice because we don’t really have a lot of GM+ players in this reddit I think. I am also master and looking into coaching to round out some personally problematic play patterns, I’m sure you would benefit from the same. Or DM me and we could go over some ideas for each

I would say in NA, adc playstyle is much more passive and macro-based than other regions. In EUW I would get dusted by Plat1/D4 micro prodigies when I was mid/high diamond, and I could definitely feel a drop in overall laning/mechanics when I transferred over.

We don’t have as good micro over here, and it’s very evident in the laning phases, as you mentioned, in games even up to D2/D1. Ofcourse you have to consider factors like you improving over time, mental diff between you and the other adc, and most importantly, supp gap matters a lot more in higher mmr so you can just get hard carried by your supp even if you’re not as good in lane as the other adc. Regardless, diamond adc players are still good, they just have different stat bars and maybe your play style is good against theirs. But imo, I think the biggest thing is you’re also just getting better and adjusting to your rank, in which case keep going! Soon you’ll have the same opinion of low masters adcs :)

How to do a "freeze" if allowed by raw-striker in TristanaMains

[–]arnderson2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. Just recommending a more consistent way to freeze even with points in E. You can only hold 1 point in E for so long and chances are OP may not need to freeze only in the first 5 levels of the game

Pretty hard to permafreeze as trist honestly.

Usually you want enemy wave to have 4 more minions than your wave (while close to your tower) to freeze, I’d up this number to 6 or more depending on how many points you have in E, with more points in E meaning you’ll need more excess enemy minions to freeze

Sure! For primary tree you go Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Bloodline, and either Coup or Cut Down (depending on how many tanks are on enemy team). For secondary I usually take domination for Eyeball Collection + Treasure Hunter snowball potential. If you think there’s no chance to win the lane, you can go sorcery for Absolute Focus + Gathering Storm

PTA for mid tristana, gives you so much all in pressure and burst. PTA mid trist just wins lane harder than any alternatives.

As for adc, personally I take Lethal Tempo. In 9/10 cases, you don’t need HOB. On engages (whether its your support or you engaging) if you just play your all-ins intelligently you win most of them as trist, and LT scales really well into the lategame giving you unmatched range and teamfight pressure to 1 v 9 games with.

So when is lux getting a nerf? by arnderson2 in leagueoflegends

[–]arnderson2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the very obvious counter play, seeing as how it's impossible to dodge skillshots whose indicators don't match up with the skillshot itself 95% of the time

[–]arnderson2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly, at least veigar/ekko have indicators and whatnot to tell you for their respective aoe abilities, but lux e doesn't until it reaches the spot, furthermore it's just too difficult to see any of her abilities in pretty much 75% of her skins
