EPTThe problem is that an AP mid with Deathcap is WAY more powerful than you with IE. You won't carry until a breakpoint in the game which your power finally gets ahead.

I feel that at low Elo people throw way too hard. Got 0-4 in early game? GG AFK. As ADC it's sometimes hard to even reach the stage in game that you can actually carry. theres no difference between high and low elo when it comes to throwing, also there is basically no counterpicking for ADCs except for vayne. | ||

Yeah but if you stay alive and clean up a teamfight then you can win the game alone later on while the AP carry can't.. It's all tradeoffs. You can't have the best of everything. You can't be powerful at all points of the game, but you can play better than the opposition at all points of the game. | ||

Maybe i'm just too low ELO to really judge him, but he seems to have insane sustain with W, insane burst with his auto-attack resetting Q, built-in offensive flash, invisibility ult on a short CD, snowball item, ... Even if you get into a bad situation, you can just fight to 5 ferocity, heal 15% with W, Ult and get another 15% heal + MS&Stealth escape. He feels like a mix of Mundo sustain, Eve stealth and Shyvana attack with the best of each champion and none of the drawbacks. I'm just not so sure on itemization. I feel like merc boots against CC Frozen Mallet for additional chasing power and survivability Ghostblade because CDR&ArPen&Steroid feels great on him Bonetooth necklace somewhere in between, i feel after boots and phage is the best time After that maybe semi-tanky with a Maw or Atmas Maxing R>W>Q>E also feels like the best way to go with a token point on E at level 4. His W has the highest damage increase per level and who can say no to a ton of free Armor and MRes. At level 2 it does almost the same (-10) damage as Q on level 5 and it's AoE. | ||

Most fights at low ELO last about 5 seconds because everyone is in a big ball and AoE trashes everything. An AD carry with good escape can carry the game but i think a good AP carry can snowball a lot harder and decide the game in the first few minutes. Note that players at least at my (1150) ELO don't have the coordination or skill to organize a comeback. The team that snowballs hardest always wins. | ||

It's not just different times in the game, it's also different kinds of damage. APs tend to be bursty. ADs do not. Of course 1v1 the AP will win if he lands everything but if he misses it's much more up in the air even though the AD carry is technically weaker. | ||

Fed AP Mid? Don't put yourself in burst damager and focus on picking people off during the CD grace period. Fed AD Carry? Find a way to keep them zoned. Etc. At the end of the day, you can't change other people's play. So what you need to do is focus on what your own play can do to win the game. DLift never gets stuck in "Elo Hell" playing AD. He must be doing something right. The same goes for many other players such as Chauster or Stanley. It's not always about doing the so-called "optimal play". It's about making the plays that are correct for the Elo Bracket you are in. For example, if they can't defend 4v5 under tower, then don't splitpush even if it's the correct play to make. You can't change other people. So change yourself. | ||

Very much this. Too many people try to emulate strats or ideas they see from higher players... the problem being that your enemy or your team might not react properly to it and what should be optimal turns out considerably less than that. One of the most important strats is the ability to pull and freeze your lane. However, if you aren't able to zone their champ while you do it and your jungeler is too stupid to abuse it; it might be time to change tactics. I know some people don't like to "abuse" people who are worse than them. They feel like using cheesy strats is stupid. Opening Dblade as top lane and just going all in for level 1 or 2 kills... stuff like that. Do it until you reach an elo where people are smart enough to stop it or punish you. Then improve your game. You can't get actual practice with strategies or gameplay if you're just that much better than your lane opponent to begin with. | ||
