A real man would keep playing LS.

A scrub would do what Scip did.

I'm just troll baiting for people to say Lee Sin is super op and since he's my main I'll be a 1200 Elo scrub.

I'm ready to get a 50% Zed winrate next patch and show the haters.

Your support should be rushing ruby sightstone and locket//aegis and cdr boots IMO. Stuff like philo and kage is pretty bad and being tanky is usuall the best on MOST supports. (all the melee ones, sona, not sure about lulu/janna/zyra).


You losing lane and losing games are probably related. But I'm not sure about that. The amount of assassins people are playing is going up because mid lane isn't always ap any more.

A few pages late on this, but has the ADC playstyle changed a bit since last season, or is it just me?

My buddy and I used to play super aggro bot and win lane 90% of the time, now we lose lane more than half of the time. I'm not sure if its the lane comps we play, bad trading, or getting one shot by a bruiser unless I literally kite a mile away from the fight. Before I used to be able to just out skill the bruisers or other lanes, kill them quickly and continue fighting. Now I either kite them for minimal damage while taking quite a bit of it, or flat out die to an assassin.

Just doesn't seem as fun/rewarding anymore but he only plays support and I don't wanna bail on him. I've always mained top but considered myself a decent ADC up until this point. Maybe he hasn't adjusted (he never knows what items to start or what support to pick) or maybe I haven't. Idk :/

He tends to play sona, taric, and fiddlesticks. Before it worked fine and we could play kill lanes all the time. But he hasn't really adjusted to the changes and plays overly aggressive, usually resulting in a death. Even if we DO manage to win lane, his item build is the same as S2 minus HoG(RIP), and then in team fights I have to worry about double assassin comps, which makes ADC nowhere near as fun as before IMO. I guess i should just go back to top main or have him start playing more control based supports such as Zyra.

I can't speak to you losing your lanes because there aren't enough details to tell what's going on. It could be your buddy's unfamiliarity with the new items. It could be that you're underestimating creeps. It could be that Elo compression is placing you against more skillful players than you're used to. It could be a lot of things.

However, the teamfight issue you've noticed is exactly what TheYango was grappling with when he suggested building AD carries more like bruisers. The issue itself got lost in the kerfuffle over TheYango's proposed solution, but it's a problem that will grow in prominence as more and more players realize how stupidly effective assassins are right now.

Does this mean that people are finally, re-realizing why characters like Panth, Eve, and Talon were allowed to languish for so long? That they are realizing that an assassin is Either UP or OP and there is no middle ground?

Or is it just an offhand comment bu Suess?
