So Bly mentioned junglers aren't banned much in KR servers other than Xin. Do they just find the lane bans more "worth it", or do they prepare specific team comps to deal with certain junglers? I imagine it'd be hard to do in solo QQ(which is mainly what I'm speaking about).
Edit: @above, I don't think AD is dead. Hyper carries like Vayne Kog Trist are still really strong late. Maybe we'll see some of the more midgame ad's like graves and Corki start laning mid or top...
I was thinking about Graves mid, since Cait mid is so good. Short range and no CC make his ganks a little... smeh. But I do like AD casters. I'm also considering going BotRK->SS->FM, and fighting HP with HP.

i really liked ADs in s2, they were these glass cannons that lived on the edge, dancing around to do as much damage as possible knowing that one misstep would get them killed.
now they're still dancing, but they don't do as much damage and new meta makes it so that it's hard to even live with all the gap closers and assassins.
i don't want to say they're dead but they certainly were a lot more fun back then. to some extent, playing against them was fun too because if you ever got to the AD you felt like you accomplished something.

I think AD Tristana mid after all her buffs is amazing and more people should try it.

Uhhhh... huh. Yeah, I could see that. WR ganks could really be dangerous.

With regards to ranged AD's in the current season. What does everyone think to be the best build path?
I ask, because the Long Sword + 2 pots opening initially seemed great, but as has been discussed, a Doran's outsustains it in a relatively short amount of time (44 auto attacks while having less than 100% health).
Even after deciding that the Dorans start made more sense, I had been buying a vamp scepter and boots as my first buys - but my question is, what makes the most sense here?
If two people start Dorans, then one of them backs and buys a vamp scepter, does that give a really noticeable advantage? What about waiting for that BF Sword and getting it that much sooner? I tried this last night, and it felt like the timing window after getting the BF Sword while the enemy was sitting on a vamp scepter was huge and noticeable. During that time, we killed their support once, and were able to effectively zone them off creeps.
Does this make sense? Is this what everyone was already doing? Or does the vamp scepter actually give the enemy a noticeable advantage (that can't be negated via potions)? I will continue to try this going forward to see how it works.

They have some sort of quota for the number of games to fit in so this is the method they're choosing. I forget what the numbers are.

I just ignore most of what Asmo has to say, makes working with him much easier. Hue.

It's why all his predictions are wrong.

I meant in OGN club masters, no one knows what goes on in Korean servers. I've heard they play Jayce as AD a lot and run Elise supports.

ADC has become increasingly less fun imo. Season 1 was like the peak. Go midlane Corki, MF, Ashe, or Tristana every game no problem. Carry harder than anyone else possibly could in the history of this game. S2 your levels got gimped because you were forced to go bottom lane with some support bitch who leeched your XP like an asshole and you no longer got to 1v1 their scrub AD carry because they brought a support friend bottom lane too. Then we come to S3 where Riot just decides to throw ADs on the ground and piss in their faces with nerfs to everything they love and buffs to everything they hate.
On the bright side though support became much more fun and I find myself playing that more than ADC in S3.
