Wukong is definitely not an AD caster. He has AS steroid and relies greatly on autoattacking.

Yeah, because none of those other AD casters rely on autoattacking either.

As "casters" one should expect them to have ranged spells that scales with AD.

Two questions:

1) Is rushing dcap the best idea for most champs still? Or would it be better to rush for the mpen and/or utility for certain champs? (i.e, rylais + liandry's on cassiopia)

2)If you do primarily do AoE dmg, is getting the furor boots or the flat move speed boots better?

+ Ezreal, Lee Sin, Garen, Zed

Basically it's characters that scale from AD, but have a lot of damage from their skills and not just auto-attacking.

It's a weird group of heroes and the itemisation isn't really there for them damage wise so you often have to just build tanky to be good late game.
There's weird complications like because they do lots of damage from spells they could benefit quite a bit from spellvamp (especially talon) but AD items have lifesteal instead.

deathcap isn't absurdly slot efficient anymore

if all you want is ap, ap, and more ap, then deathcap is the still the best option for you. but the later you put buying deathcap off, the more cost effective it is compared to rushing it

So remove renek and riven then

Yes, they totally play simiarly to Zed, Talon, and Pantheon, right?

I think the difference between an "AD Caster" and a Bruiser is that Bruisers tend to be naturally tanky and don't scale as well with mass damage items as AD Casters do.

I'd put Pantheon, Riven, Zed, Khazix, Talon in the AD Caster list, and Darius, Renekton, Garen etc in the Bruiser list.

Then there's the Olaf/Irelia/Jax group that does good sustained damage while being tanky and is basically overpowered in comparison.

That's just my opinion though. I think the categories don't really mean much.

Honestly I could see a 4-protects-1 team running multiple Crucibles, Lockets, and Heals just for overall protective ability/survivability.

4 protect 1

Naut+locket jungle.

:D don't even need to put boots on fiora in that situation, just capts on naut and karma tether.

wukong with 4 BCs penta kills with 1 ultimate

fioras a terrible option for shield comps

either pick an ad carry or run double bruiser e.g renek+riven or something

riven works really well because she can stack ad and get even more shields and does so much aoe damage

Well you're talking about assassin-like champs compared to more... uh, Rriven isn't supposed to 100-0 you, that's the idea, though in practice she does it as soon as she's somewhat fed because her passive and ult are fair like that.

Talon only has AoE for spellvamp, it's weak on him. His Q procs lifesteal, and the DoT doesn't proc anything (it just kills things you thought had escaped).

Fiora works extremely well in that comp, she has the mobility, the "reset" potential for pentakills, the ability to stall for allies cooldowns and crazy farming ability (hydra).

I always just associated "casters" with using abilities, not necessarily ranged.

I would call Renekton, Garen ect. AD casters and bruisers. Categorizing by how their damage scales I get AD casters, APs, auto attackers and like champs like leona who don't do damage. Then Categorizing by offense defense balance you have carries, bruisers, and tanks. The first category is build invariant while the second can change based off build. Yi with ie pd is a carry and Yi with warmogs atmas is a bruiser. Mumu can build carry, bruiser or tank.

her resets are attack speed, CC stops that too early, if her ult got reset id agree with you.

Pre-Patch Ad Caster just meant underpowered champion that scaled of AD. People used it to QQ alot about talon and panth.

Now its a meaningless term.
