it's not necessarily non-ranged botlanes
it's just that your farmer is melee
something like annie jarvan or zyra xin

Also nothing stops you from laneswapping. Sure, you'll lose your turret fist, and your poke is probably weaker, on the other hand you're probably stronger in trades and if you want to dive the enemy offlaner. And it's safer farm than in the 2v2.

my point is rather that you don't need marksmen as they are not more or less carries than assassisn fighters or mages. your farmer can be ranged as well. Personally i would love to play (almost) any combination of
zyra, sona, annie, jarman, leona, ahri, janna, lux, orianna, jax, soraka, wukong.

like when i played dota (long time ago) we went for dual stun combos, there were some classic one's like crix&mirana, sven&lina or venge&cent, those lanes would be drafted to shut down babysitter lanes (before tri-laneing).

I'am pretty sure something like this double stun would work in lol as well. I kinda miss it. When I play leona these days I allways have to pray that my mm puts the slightest amount of pressure on the lane and ist not totally obsessed with his false views of how mms "just have to farm to win lategame" while they have zed and nasus waiting happily for him to meet them.

You don't technically need any "class" in a team comp, but the pros in different situations always come with cons.

There are some mages who can siege fairly decent as well. Imagine a zyra + sona lane. you have strong poke/harass, strong pushing power through plants and two long ranged autoattacks and hell of an all-in as well. and with zyra you have a potential carry who scales very well (one of the higher overall scalings), who can deal a ton of damage without needing protection and even an additional initiator.

the current way of botlane is not flat out wrong or weaker than any other but I highly doubt if we 100% need so called ad carries by default other than convenience.


The thing is I don't really see a non AD Carry teamcomp ever doing signifcant dmg to a inhib tower vs something like gragas or Ziggs (especially with fucking regenerating towers) unless you're soo far behind (15k+) that you just dive that shit.


adc's are also deadweights in tower dives as well though, often 2-3 ppl jump ahead 1 stays to defend adc and adc doesn't want to dive and generally doesn't do much at all


But against dives they are often very strong. Especially at inhib turrets because even if you chase them away from the inhib they can get cover from nexus turrets and safely deal damage from there.

Another lategame situation where mms are really strong is if you have something like a tristana and you play from behind, lose 1-2 inhibs. This champ just destroys superminion waves like no tomorrow and scales extremely well.

But there again. The marksmen who are actually real carries by default (get items and carry) are only a few. Trist and kog are in there, ppl say vayne is in there but I'am not very convinced by her lategame per se. In any other damaging role like assassins/fighters/mages youll find even more examples of default lategame carry power. Mages like ryze, vlad, cassio flat out destroy most adc damage and survivability and on top of that they punch a pack of utility as well.

That doesn't mean you can go into soloq and pick X champ instead of a MM and succeed but it means in theory or in arranged play you actually don't need them to carry a team.


nobody is a real carry if they get 1 combo'd on a regular basis
ryze vlad and cassio do a lot of damage but don't touch what AD's do on tanks.

Isn't the bigger problem having the farmer be melle? Last hitting is too predictable earlygame when you lack waveclear or AD.

I always thought the #1 reason behind having ADC is because without them you have no reliable way to siege towers.

its both I'd say. in seiges not having an adc is just going to have you slowly lose whatever you're seiging over. adcs are also suppose to hyperscale late game and stop the singes that can't be stoped otherwise.

that is some of the worst logic.. holy shit man ezreal has a 50% AS that can have infinite upkeep with good play. Not to mention you have extra as/crit/ad to go with that IE from trinity.

I sometimes get the impression that trick2g ended up being the worst thing to happen to udyr, now udyr players are so hated people are scared to pick him because they'll get flamed as trick2g wannabes.

Theorycraft dps of 6 item ryze/cassio/whatever u want and that of an adc.

If they come out on top I'll reconsider. Until then, it is cos your elo level consists of "ezreals who shoot a q and run around for 2s doing nothing".

Whether yoloq can be better served by no adc is more interesting, since most adc players suck and they suck worse since s4.

If you don't have an ad carry, you don't have a real source of physical damage lategame.
Ofc you can snowball the game, but it's a big inherent flaw in an ad-less teamcomp. It allows the opposition to itemize heavily towards mres & hp; and stuff like zed just gets stomped by tanks.
The amount of resist stacking possible in league is pretty damn big, so it's with good reason the usual teamcomp revolves around 3 controlling champs & 2 champs that can deal damage from safety, with the damage dealers being ap+ad.
And since ad carrys have a tendency to farm unsafe they're coupled with a support.

For solo qq it doesn't matter though, games are a combination of snowballing & throwing.

ketara once again shows off theorycraft that falls apart when any sort of logic is applied to it

dfg on cass lol ok
zero mana items have fun going through the entire first 50 minutes of the game without any mana
even if you get mana items it'd mean you have to sell it to get what you have now so your build is delayed considerably

in comparison jinx can actually get those items without it being totally unviable in a real game

you gave jinx a purely defensive item (GA) compared to zero defense on cass who is an unmobile hero to begin with, so the wind blows too hard and you die
not to mention all of jinx's aoe that can execute
etc etc etc

3 losses in a row to a demotion.
idk whats up with soloqueue.
one day im on a fucking tear carrying every game with like 10.0 KDA and like 5 wins in a row. the next day I lose all my fucking games in a horrible fashion. Im not playing any better or worse and its relatively the same ELO/MMR. I haven't had a close game in like 20 games? Its either stomp or be stomped.

I think im playing decent but every other player on my team seems to underperform. For ex. last game our adc ez was 0/5/2 with 120 farm in a 35 minute game and I as tank elise did more damage to champions than our top riven, adc ez, and mid brand. All the games I started off winning my lane or doing well as jungle getting kills/assists/objectives for our team. I secured first dragon every single game I jungled and also secured 1 or 2 kills for each lane before 15 minute mark in each game.
IDK. something must be wrong. If anyone is interested I can post a replay for someone to dissect and point out what crucial mistakes I made because I have no idea. I definitely do make misplays but those are usually when the game is pretty much over. plat 1/2 elo btw


sir theres a shikyo thread for a reason
