I mean as an AD carry where you just want to pile stats onto yourself and be selfish

who's got a passive steroid that's better? corki's true damage, definitely. nobody else brings one to the table though. her steroid's not incredible, but it's certainly relevant to her ability to win trades in lane. with a good range AA, having a guaranteed higher AD rating than your lane opponent is certainly relevant. i don't think it has to be overwhelming in terms of raw numbers to see it's value

Are we both talking about the 20 ad bonus on the Q?

Quick question since Sona was being discussed: what about her makes building her as AD carry (semi) viable vs other ranged supports?


good range, fast attack animation, now (it looks like) strong burst in lane once again, ashe-tier utility ult. no real ad scaling to speak of but she is a very strong duelist lategame even with no scaling

im at work, can anyone test new sona passive? see if you can actually auto q chord in quick succession or if there's still an auto cooldown inbetween?


On the other hand, really low starting health and health per lvl. Sona is really squishy.


as is every other ad carry. getting cc'd in a teamfight with ashe, sivir, ezreal, corki, trist, etc means you're dead most of the time anyway. only graves and caitlyn really outperform Sona in this area, graves because of his innate tankiness and cait because she doesn't have to put herself as close to danger to pewpew.


But the difference is that Sona gets 70 health per lvl and most AD carries get around 80-83 health per lvl. Her base is also much lower than most AD carries.

which, again, looks bad on paper, but in practice is largely irrelevant

edit: Usnip, 20 bonus AD becomes 40 bonus AD when it's a Power Chord

edit2: sylver you should be running flat AD red on support sona unless you need those rune slots for defensive stats. mpen doesn't increase your harass by nearly as much

We're talking about how Auto+Q+Power chord auto is some significant trading potential. Maybe I'll try running AD or Armor Pen runes on support sona...

Some guy called Soraka Bot played a lot of AD sona at 2k elo and was very succesfull with it, for what it's worth. Sona Q triforce poke is incredibly strong.

Would be real nice if a couple of you guys could bump this for me: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2375065

I contacted RiotUdyr about who to talk to in order to figure out if LEGO LoL is actually feasible, and he said if I send him an email, he'd get it to the right people. So yeah, I'm just trying to get this idea as widespread as I can.

i gotcha. if you run gp10 or mana regen yellows you shouldn't run ad reds, but if you run armor yellows like i do then adding 10x2 damage to your power chords (or 15x2 if you take quints as well) is significant. im of the school of thought that gp10 quints are grossly overvalued though
