Apparently Titan Dweevil is adamant that ad carries aren't ad carries because they have ad ratios on their spells and are ranged, but because of the items you build. He also says that his ad tf does as much damage as any other ad carry.

He was never great in soloQ even before the nerf (hovering around 46% as far as I can remember). Then they gave him even MORE nerfs, which essentially killed him for soloQ.

Ult when she does. Outpush her at every turn and roam more.
Out of curiosity, why do people do a QEQ combo as Viktor? The range on E would seem to allow you to use it before you get in range for a Q, so to me the intuitive combo would be EQ into either backing of or trading autos while the shield is still up. Do you want to save the burst for an extended trade to make use of your Q shield?

just because a champion isn't played anymore (urgot), doesn't mean he suddenly became bad, it may mean he doesn't fit as well within the current meta, or people found better options. If you think he is indeed bad, please explain your reasoning aside from nerfs, or those nerfs are huge, or holy shit those nerfs.

Well, it depends. AD ratios just shore up the midgame dps output. Late game, the damage outputs are going to be mainly dependent on DPS steroids (which is half of why Trist is so dangerous late game). Of course, damage output is going to be 0 if you're dead, which has always been the major problem for AD TF - no escapes and short range.If he had 600 range, he would be the best AD carry in the game.

Not sure about the "best" part, because he still lacks AD ratio on his skills and his steroid is very poor (although his CC would be awesome and trading in lane would be much easier). It would make AP Twisted Fate absolutely broken though.

It was mostly the nerf to his spells. R nerf was ridiculous, 550 range at level 1 of ult is a pretty big difference from 700. E got a range nerf and a cooldown increase. Q got a 300 range nerf and a damage nerf (damage nerf has been reverted but range nerf is still pretty big).
All of that means that Urgot can't bully lanes as well anymore. If Urgot can't bully lanes there's no real reason to pick him.
Twisted Fate has an AD ratio on his W.

AD Carry is just a role, you could accomplish it with Master Yi, or Annie, or Lux, or any fucking champion you choose. The role just requires that you do a lot of AD damage, as to round out the damage type your team can do. Pretty much a champion with IE, PD, BT, LW, is gunna be fucking chunking the shit out of you. Obviously there are champions that are designed to do it better, but that isn't what makes them an "AD Carry".

Twisted Fate does not have AD ratio on his W. When he procs a card he deals no physical damage.

No. That's not the point.
A normal autoattack deals 100% of his AD.
An autoattack that procs his card deals card base + 100% of his AD as magic damage (ignoring AP for the sake of the argument).
The only extra damage he is dealing is from the base damage of his card.

Pretty sure a 2 second stun is worth doing slightly less damage on your next auto attack. During mid game W is going to hit harder than a normal auto would and depending on your item path you would possibly hit harder than a crit. During late game 2 second stun means you'll probably get two to three autos off for free.
I'm pretty sure the statement, "if TF had 600 range he'd be the best AD carry in the game," is pretty damn close to the truth. Really the only thing that hinders him as AD is how unsafe he is.

Ohhhhh, okay. I didn't understand what you were saying.
Are you guys actually entertaining the idea of AD carry TF?
Steroid too underwhelming imo, Even a range tweak wouldn't fix what is major vulnerability of AD-TF (unless it was something absurdly high).

But Bly, if there are better options that kind of makes the worse options bad, because you know, you mean bad or good relative to the other options. Also, maybe, current meta is better than other metas, which is why we use it. So being good in other metas is like being amazing at being absolutely horrible.

It's several factors: one, he'd be a huge lane bully, with a point-and-click stun on a super low cooldown. Two, he'd be able to split push incredibly well, which is pretty scary on a ranged AD. Three, 600 range is really strong. Imagine the days of Ashe being the only carry anyone played, but the global and the stun parts of her arrow are split up and she actually has a steroid.

He's actually a decent AD right now, just a bit too vulnerable in teamfights.

hum, i don't agree. Ad carry is a phrase that somehow evolved from ranged carry. When people say ad carry, that is what they mean. they are not talking about pantheon or yi. the key distinction that differentiates these heroes is that they're not very good at towers whereas ranged carries are
