I remember at IEM Katowice Cpt Jack faced the same problem against genja/gosu's ez Sona lane as Kog Maw and traded badly lvl 1 or 2 and was forced to back which basically lost him the entire lane/game. Personally I'd only go Dblade against a non poke lane but obviously I'm not weixao | ||

Personally I'd only go Dblade against a non poke lane but obviously I'm not weixao A lot of that comes more from the support than the ADC I think. Well played, a leona or taric lane can combo sona nearly instantaneousy at level 1 or 2, so for them going in inherently more risky. My personal belief is that the ADC can afford to go dblade because they have faith in their supports being able to zone out/prevent the worst trades and absorb some of the incoming damage. 1v2 aside, so long as your support provides proper zoning and warding, there shouldn't be angles where both of them can hit you without the potential of retaliation if the creeps are even. In soloq, as you can't rely on your support to properly ward/position to punish poking/trading, it's significantly more risky to open dblade. | ||

Im sure there's a mathematical cutoff that you must get xx amount of more gold for a non dblade opener > dblade, but its only practical in arranged play or low yolo Q since you can easily apply a ton of pressure with a dblade. | ||

Dorans Blade early is awesome, I say that since a while. The main reason why they got crushed so hard is because Sona is probably the best support vs kogmaw, and you simply cant pick it on purple side Edit: to clarify a bit about dorans: Dorans is worth 1 potion after you hit 30 times, that sounds a lot right? I isnt you will have 30 autoattacks by the time you have 15 lasthits (possibly a bit earlier or later depending on your playstyle) which means by about 3 -4 minutes | ||

I usually start blue, but I also tried red and both somewhat work although i get way too low for my comfort. My skills are usually q->w->e but priority is r>q>e>w. I feel the early point in w helps with the clear. Items go: Machete+5 -> madreds -> boots1 -> phage -> boots2 -> Frozen Mallet -> Maw -> Warmogs Start W on Vi, then E. W gives you the best dps on blue buff (and most little monsters take 3 hits to kill so you keep your AS buff on). You can start E, it'll be slower so you'll take more damage, but since you'll trigger her passive it'll make up for it. I still prefer W (faster w/o a pull/smiteless). Also fuck madred, she doesn't need anything more than a machete, a charged Q+E combo is an almost instant clear of wolves+wraiths. And Vi is OP. Now I hope the nerfs won't funnel us into a damage-oriented build, I love my tanky dps-oriented build.

Sure it's not as slot-efficient, but with the game being more aggressive you go for what's effective now. | ||

Although I guess it's possible for poor matchmaking to cause some people to 'snap' and start trolling, but it's kind of an outlandish theory edit: also, double IP weekend screwing things up too probably | ||

I also said week.Not last 2 days.Last 2 days have been even worse which was expected I guess sadly.But I'd really have thought that when you get to decent elo you'd play with the same people no matter what :/. | ||

Notable ones: A Jax who built brutalizer/stinger against Shen after dying 3 times early. Pretty sure he went ninja tabi too, A guy who insisted Fizz top was legit and then fed the crap out of Garen and insisted "it was just an off game" even after being told why it wasn't working (we won, because I carried super hard as Tristana). Between the two, they had maybe 15 ranked games total. | ||

You need to discuss more bot lane theory IMO lol because something just doesn't click for me. It's simple,you pick jarvan,start red pot+4 pots+ward and carry your nub ad. | ||
