Shikyo just for venting but I honestly think there is something wrong with my play that I haven't seen. Idk if there is another thread to receive replay help though. I'd be willing to do it for lower ELO people a bit defunct but im sure there are people willing to review replays http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=396065 | ||

The only thing marksmen are consistently better at than other types is safe laneing and early turret sieging. Lategame sieges are not a marksmen speciality by default. There are tons of them who suck at sieging turrets and are banned/picked consistently at pro level such as vayne/sivir. Lategame sieges are also a thing you can choose to do. A smart variation of splitpushing, invading and diving can just be as strong to push an advantage. Splitpushing in particular is way safer if you don't have marksmen because they are weaker the fewer the participants in a skirmish/combat situation. | ||

The entire argument of what does the most damage is stupid. Cassiopeia does a lot of damage. So do ADCs. They're comparable. Who does the most is often going to depend on the exact situation. It's very similar to discussing arpen vs ad runes or "what is a tank" Do you need to have an ADC in a composition? No, you don't. There are high level players here who have won ranked games with compositions that didn't have an ADC in them. Is there a reason why people put ADCs in compositions? Yes. It's been talked about at length. If you want to discuss what a no ADC comp would look like, what the advantage would be and when you would use it, there's a thread for that. You could also come test it out tomorrow. I mean, stop being dumb everybody. PS: Cheep, you calling me toxic is really adorable. Stop trolling my posts please. | ||

typically you'll go triple pen over void since Liandry has health and interacts with Rylai, but ofc that also depends something like Sorcs/Rylai/Abyssal/Hourglass/Dcap/Liandry would be a pretty middle of the road build, but void and wota are possible alternatives depending. please don't confuse this with me saying her dps won't compare to adc, I just don't like the stacked deck in the build comparison, the fact of the matter is even if her dps is >= adc, she is every bit as fragle as one even with the safer builds I have listed. | ||

On January 07 2014 06:54 clickrush wrote: again, the whole "you don't get enough lategame dps without adc" is completely wrong. Marksmen don't consistently deal the highest damage in the game. Not in soloq, not in pro level games. They only sometimes do. All the talk about sustained physical damage is purely based on theory craft. The only thing marksmen are consistently better at than other types is safe laneing and early turret sieging. Lategame sieges are not a marksmen speciality by default. There are tons of them who suck at sieging turrets and are banned/picked consistently at pro level such as vayne/sivir. Lategame sieges are also a thing you can choose to do. A smart variation of splitpushing, invading and diving can just be as strong to push an advantage. Splitpushing in particular is way safer if you don't have marksmen because they are weaker the fewer the participants in a skirmish/combat situation. This would be a great argument if laning and seiging weren't...you know key concepts at anything resembling top level play. I don't know what this arguement is supposed to prove? | ||

So basically the build I had but with Rylai instead of DFG. 712.53 AP Still 1578 DPS with Q and E only. Seraphs will give her 124 AP so changing Rylai, Abyssal, Zhonya or Void Staff for Seraph will make that number go up (Void since we aren't factoring pen into this) do you even stop to think about what you're saying LOL yes lets conveniently ignore anywhere from 25 to 100 mr cause who cares about being right? im just writing numbers! abyssal is like literally the only thing on that list tha tmakes sense since zhonya is non negotiable core and rylai also has a huge chunk of hp | ||

I don't know what this arguement is supposed to prove? if sieging where a key concept then every composition at pro level play had to be good at sieging which is not the case. And laneing per se is a key concept, yes but mm+supp are not automatically the strongest lanes but the safest. And to answer your question: Just wanted to try to make a point about marksmen being overrated as a must have thing. | ||

And to answer your question: Just wanted to try to make a point about marksmen being overrated as a must have thing. Seiging IS important. That's why carries like Twitch aren't picked, because they suck horribly at seiging. Thats why Caitlyn will always be at least a niche ad carry. And who the heck thinks AD Carries are overrated? They are arguably at their weakest point since I started playing (in season 2) and there were about 8,000 'AD Carries are underpowered' threads on Reddit recently. Nobody thinks that AD Carries are great at the moment. Heck at the end of season 3 Curse Academy used an ADC less comp to pretty good success, and that is without the new masteries that made brusiers and tanks even more effective.

Anything can work (in solo queue and occasionally at top level play) but because its viable it doesn't mean its optimal (thanks cLutZ for expressing what was taking me several paragraphs to say!) | ||
