I just dont see how its any different from going into a solo queue game and people trolling and not picking support when they should... This game if they don't want to play support they don't need to .-.


Anyway 1k more IP and I can buy a 6300 IP champion. Probably Draven because I'm trying to learn AD

draven looks like one of the most complicated/mechanically intensive ADs in the game I dunno if that's really ideal for learning.

Mechanical skill never been the issue for me (And I mean I've played AD some but I want something new, Draven seems like a lot of fun .-. )

If you really want to learn ad carry, learn to play caitlyn. she's the most basic of ad carries. she's always safe pick, and very dominant lane presence. if you want to learn how to trade in botlane, especially in a typical farm lane, she's probably the best carry to learn how to do it with, without getting punished too much for harass.

This calls for a poll!

Your vote: Caitlyn

Because honestly, my friends seem to think she is trash and are vehemently against me playing her .

Blame them for not being able to ride on your lane advantage and close out before the enemy carry catches up. Well that only works if you won lane but that's what you should be doing as Cait.

I think she's good, it's just that after all the little nerfs over time she is not able to dominate the whole laning phase anymore but rather needs to abuse her advantage in the early levels from 1-6. After that, strong laners can beat her in lane unless she absolutely crushed them before.

She has no real innate steroid except for her passive, but 650 range are still the same lategame and since ADs scale mostly with items she is pretty good lategame even though the doesn't provide the uber damage of a Vayne or Kog'maw.


I'd suggest you to have a look at Doublelift's guide on clgaming.net, he explains it very well and gives an IMO pretty accurate evaluation on her status quo.

Just my 2 cents:
She doesn't have the burst damage of someone like Graves with his Q or Corki with his E (and don't get me started on Vayne), which is why she sometimes seems weak. However, her biggest advantage is the huge range which allows her to often win the lane easily if you play her right. In the lategame she falls off a little since Range is not much of an advantage anymore and her Q doesn't scale that well.

You really have to get a good advantage from the range early on and use the resulting CS advantage to get into the lategame on equal footing. Really one of the more farm dependant AD carries available.

Alright, MLG has been and gone, Riot have surely been watching it carefully, what are their knee-jerk post tournament balance changes going to be?

Nautilus is probably going to be hit with a damage nerf on his W to slow clear time.

Any other takers?

Maybe, he was the most picked AD, but what do you think they'll change? Ult damage maybe?

I voted good on Cait, since it was originally about if she was good for learning AD. With the highest base AA range in the game, you can harass inbetween AAs, and if you can make use of your passive to deal solid damage from afar.

But when it comes to taking all AD carrys and their growth throughout a match, she is only decent. I would actually argue she "falls off" for an AD carry late game. She honestly seems toward the very bottom of a list on AD carrys.

Vayne, Kog, and Trist are the 3 best ADs come late game, with maybe Twitch hovering around there somewhere. After that it seems kinda shaky, but Corki, Graves, and Ashe all seem around the same level of usefulness, albeit Ashe is taken more for her utility and engage while the other 2 are meant to bully the enemy carry around in lane.

Her kit is just... meh really. Its great for laning phase and provides a bit more utility than most ADs in traps, but her ult is garbage compared to the other ADs. Q has decent poke, and she has a nice escape in her net.

if riot isn't lazy they will change other Ad carries instead of nerfing Graves. Honestly it's not like he dominated every game.

Karthus Wall will probably receive a slight late game nerf.

Kogmaw already getting nerfs.

Best late game AD's in terms of damage is Twitch>Vayne~kog (depending on enemy team comps)> others.

I mentioned cait only due to her ease of learning, and she teaches you the very basics of how to play an AD without having the "oh i accidentally harassed at the wrong time, now this lane is going to snowball the shit into my fucking face

If anyone needs nerfs it's anivia, retarded control, especially mid-late in the jungle and retarded damage without building any AP.

I feel like Graves (Pick #1) and Corki (Pick #2) were popular because of their ability to assist in early (Level 2-5) ganks with their burst damage via Buckshot/Phospherous Bomb. Being able to have that burst+ignite combo to assist in an early gank with the jungler providing CC is really what wins games, or at the very least sets up the botlane to begin to 'snowball'. (God I hate that term)

I just don't think that its too imbalanced though. Its a specific strategy design to exploit the general tournament style of play. I.e. be conservative and dont get killed.
