Ziggs: Throw mines and a bomb Viktor: one lazer Xerath: Siege and 2 Q's Viktor only has 700 range on cast (and ~400 on the laser length) so it's easy to take potshots at him, or even just fire skillshots, while he has to get close to it (he actually doesn't have the range to clear the whole wave: he relies on the laser's movement speed and the minions moving toward it to do so). Ziggs on the other hand... | ||

Xerath is as safe in lane as you want, if you are scaredy cat you can just max W over E and never leave the sweet embrace of the tower. | ||

Anyway, that's beside the point of: How do I best carry these idiots on my back? #1) If I lane, I always win the lane. It's usually a substantial lead too. #2) If I jungle, it's a crapshoot. I've given lanes substantial leads with ganks, only to have them piss the advantage away by diving. People seem to think that being +1-3 kills means they can be risky and dive. Turrets do a shit ton of damage early-mid game, and it's just silly to see people waste everything. I also can't be everywhere at once, and multiple lanes will be floundering or overpushed such that I feel jungling is wasting my potential due to point #1. Any fotm junglers I'm missing out on here? #3) I cannot get people to dragon with me ever. Even the biggest freebie dragons ever. Herding cats is difficult. I can only type in caps so much. How do I convince them that free dragons are a good thing? I believe that the best way to carry these people, kicking and screaming to victory is to go AD and itemize for mid-game. I find that mid-game is the time to shine as people don't know how to win via attrition such that a late-game carry's power comes too late. Is my assessment correct? Any back-brace tips on how to carry these idiots? | ||

We assume that riot knows its a problem from them banning the skin from the lcs but there isn't an indicator past that for them changing it. . | ||

It's almost insulting how people you get matched with are significantly worse than anyone I've met in normals since before the account even turned level 10.

Any back-brace tips on how to carry these idiots? Get Vi, just solo drag perfectly safely, if people come you just Q back out of the pit. Great clear speed and solid ganks too (really good after 6). Just play whatever you are best at and roam a lot after you win your lane. Trash talk your lane opponent and enemy jungle in allchat to try to get them to turn on each other. | ||

Feels like every game i'm giving a nice auto attack massage to a front line of immortal bruisers before they catch me and two shot me. But i can pick Kayle mid with no practice at all and go legendary or pick Olaf and become an unkillable split push machine with little skill involved. | ||

But i can pick Kayle mid with no practice at all and go legendary or pick Olaf and become an unkillable split push machine with little skill involved. ADC have seemed to be much more binary recently, at least in my experience. They either kill everything or nothing, with absolutely no middle ground. Either they get 6 items and shred or they have 3 and get rolled. And that's just against the non-maxed bruisers. 2-3 items seems to be enough to prevent being killed by all but the strongest ADC. | ||

I like longsword much better - faster Vamp and sustain in lane, but I am a crappy ADC and have no clue about bot laning. You can heal up the same as with longsword/2 pots pretty fast.Vamp early heals for very little compared to doran(unless you draven) and it's cooler. | ||
