So what should one do, as ADC, when the support insits on pushing the lane? Just roll with it and hope that Blitzcrank doesn't pull you into the tower? Or let her have your farm?

[frostshotgg]

It depends on the context. Talk with your teammates, you have 3 others for a reason. Ask mid/top if they'd be willing to share the lane or outright switch, and if not, ask the jungler to come gank to take advantage of it.

[Virex]

Hmm, I'll try that next time. Unfortunately, that game I was called a noob by both mid and jungle for not helping the Lux that got herself pulled into the tower. Somehow that made me the bad player?

[IronyOwl]

Ask them for clarification on that one. It'll either give you a new perspective or confirm that they're jackasses with no idea what they're talking about.

Though in that particular case, if you'd stayed behind the Lux at all times, maybe you'd have been safe. Wouldn't have helped her much unless you could somehow out-dps both blitz and the tower, but maybe you could have gotten some farm or harass off or something. Depends, as always.

[frostshotgg]

Yeah, people act like AD is the easiest role in the game during laning because all you have to do is right click on minions and q/w/e whenever it's off cd to harass. It's really not, because, at least in yolo queue, you can't rely on your support to feed you kills, and the responsibility of getting yourself to late game carry mode is entirely sitting on your shoulders.

Just popping in to quickly say : Fiora.

I just blind-bought her because she seemed cool, despite reading on tons of places that she's the worst character ever. Played 7 Dominion games, 2 losses mostly due to horrible teammates, 5 wins. Had 3 first places, the rest were second.

I agree. She is really bad. Her kit is awful, she's a melee AD carry, which on Dominion translates to : like Jax, but a lot worse in every single way. Every game I had 15+ kills, yet was still barely able to 1v1 the squishies. She can't stick to people, she can't itemise well - I went for full AD/CDR/Lifesteal build, since otherwise I didn't do enough damage, but only E does not cut it for Aspeed purposes, her ult is incredibly buggy, her riposte is outright useless.

Dominion's ambient gold and mid-game focus do allow her to perform a lot better than on SR, and she is really fun to play when the stars align and you don't get CCd to hell and back, but her kit is bad. Really bad. I should've bought Riven instead. I'll still keep playing her, though, because she's fun, and because I'm really mad about the 6300 IP and want to believe I got my money's worth.

[frostshotgg]

She's balanced around her ult being op as hell, including the ult being shit to make up for it being op as hell.

[werty892]

She is very hit or miss, if you fail, fuuuuu, if you win, you win.

[SalmonGod]

Really?  Fiora?  I think she's pretty powerful.  She can take out a ranged ad without taking a single hit.  Seriously. 

One time I'll never fucking forget I was playing Caitlyn.  There was this skirmish of like 6-7 people.  Not quite a full team fight.  My team did a good job covering me, and the only people left when it was over was me with full health and enemy Fiora with like no HP. 

I only had to hit her once.  One time.  One hit and she would have been dead.  I was at full health.

So I start chasing after her.  She has a good headstart, but I'm almost in attack range after a net and flash.  I'm running just barely faster than her.  I think this is in the bag.  All of a sudden Fiora turns and ults on me.  When her ult is over she instantly follows up with a single auto-attack.  I'm dead.  Couldn't even fire a single shot.  Come to think of it, she would have riposted it even if I had.

Fiora destroys squishies, especially ranged ads.

I also love playing her on arams.  Her Q is a pretty decent poke/pounce/assassinate skill, and her sustain is amazing.  Late game it's enough that she can simply lifesteal tank anyone except the highest damage characters.

I am such a good Lux. I basically piled Ezreal on my back and had him pile everyone else on his back, and we carried to victory. I also happened to be the only english-speaking individual on my team.

Gangplank. Just...just Gangplank.

I love playing him once he gets to lategame. I got mashed to shit during the early game because Lee Sin camped top. They took a seven minute turret. So I farmed hard when Teemo left the lane. I used my ult to secure kills from people who thought they had escaped. I became the inescapable, unstoppable force that is crit runes Gangplank.

Oh, and I somehow out-csed a Vayne who was gibbing minion waves with runaans and shiv.

That Vayne's build is just godawful. Even if she did well, Runaan's is not viable on Vayne, she has no infinity edge, she has a shiv instead of a phantom dancer(she could have both)...just, eugh. There was no reason for her to have a warmogs, they were focusing me in teamfights.

Critplank, aye?

Got a chance to try ap plank, for that extra ult nasty and "orange and k" mode?

[Orangebottle]

Yeah, I tried that. AP Gangplank's pretty okay. Doesn't have much going for him besides the oranges and ult, though. You basically have to build AP on-hit with him(take lich bane, max CDR, and Malady) if you want to do anything besides ult and tank.

[Sharp]

AP Gangplank can be strong late game but his early game is incredibly weak. I would say build him tanky/ad early game then sell items and get AP later, going from something like 12AP to 300AP will be a shock to the enemy team.

AP Gangplank needs the CDR so might as well build him AD until you get it, in the end I find it works out better because going AP GP from the start makes it super hard to farm well and easy to get zoned out so the extra gold and experience you get makes up for the loss of selling items.

Movespeed gangplank best gangplank. Meep meep~

[Wiles]

I loved playing gangplank when Kassadin was FOTM in ranked a long while back. All you had to do was not ban Kassadin and sure enough someone picked him. It's such a miserable match up for Kassadin, there's nothing he can do to get ahead.
