On the opposite spectrum an ashe at level 18 with IE has 178 damage. Probably more since everyone's infatuated with damage runes and masteries. At 185 AD, ashe needs 22 damage to get a 12% increase in dps. With just serkers greaves and levels an ashe needs 22% attack speed to get that 12% increase in dps. You'll notice that both sources are more expensive than crit. Aspd is a horrible stat to stack. Not only does it have diminishing gold returns if you stack one stat too much, but also it has an inherent diminishing return because of how it's always based off of base attack speed and you gain attack speed with levels. It's also why Riot put all the strong AD steroids into attack speed, so if you had a team with nunu and warwick, you wouldn't have a kogmaw wrecking face with an IE. So. Executioners calling + Triforce if Aspeed is so diminishing returns? | ||

Dan Dinh was such a bro at Pax. Everyone else just signed it, and they were fine and all, but Dan actually started a conversation while he signed. Such a cool guy >.< | ||

Well, a lot of times duo queues get their MMR boosted above one/both of the players' skill range -- presumably to compensate for the communication, but unfortunately mechanics are pretty important botlane. When I duo'd with my friend chipsahoy, we had a lot more success when he jungled and just ganked my lane. Alternately, duoing with a smurf is completely broken -- you just destroy people since the random factor of your teammates' skills is that much smaller, and their elo is still higher than you and your partner's because of the MMR boost. Meanwhile the other team will have lower rated players (somewhere in between the duo and the 3 pubs). | ||

Quality playstyles here people. They become so scared of the yeti that they focus me and allow MF to get a quadra and penta. I enjoy this game sometimes. | ||

I don't understand -- are you expecting people playing at an Elo below their true skill to be balanced? | ||

Nah, just pointing out that a duo with a smurf breaks the entire 5v5, since each of the other three teammates will all have a higher average elo than their lane opponents, due to the MMR boost and 'team rating' mechanics. This is what causes the "90%/10%" Dgiese mentioned, since duo queues are usually lower rated than both their teammates and opponents, but occasionally much higher. | ||

If your team has a duo, the opposing team typically also has a duo. Guess where duos like to play.......? So yea, it's almost 50-50. | ||

I mean yeah sure the communication and coordination would be better bot, but I'd much rather play the champions in the other lanes. Then again ADC is a great role to carry in 'cause you're very relevant mid and late game, but I can't stand those long games for ranked. Too risky. No reason you can't snowball bot lane just as hard as any other lane. just take taric / leona / blitz + any ad except ashe or cait. Trist taric blue start? Take golems, all in when you hit 2 15 secs before them, laugh all the way to the bank. | ||

The overall champion pools are also different, I just don't like ADC or support. I'd much rather be brawling and disrupting instead of skirting the fight for that perfect positioning while maintaining highest dps/utility. It's just a preference thing, I hate having others initiate fights for the team, esspecially in ranked. | ||
