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.


Okay.

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

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

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.

It's not wrong, it's just stupid. 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.

well giving the ad a defensive item in that comparison is intentionally stacking the deck, especially when compared to a typical Cass build. (which typically consist of 2-3 utility items (not counting hourglass))

I don't know what a typical Cass build is. If you'd like to give me one I'd be happy to redo the numbers.

a lot of champs fit that bill. basically anyone who relies on melee engages or can kite indefinitely while doing a million damage. janna, ashe, rumble, and blue ezreal among many many others

anyone who pokes would destroy too, nidalee ziggs etc

hell even people like brand or malzahar would become better. the list goes on and on.

the only times you see people run 5 melee comps are when one of the melees is a mage that happens to be melee and the bruiser bot lane happens to have a good amount of reposition like some combination of lee sin jarvan panth for example (IG ran that and cheesed out WE who was the "better" team at the time to take one example among a few)

so you think it's a stupid conversation and you decide the best way to go is to contribute even MORE stupid shit to an already stupid conversation, cause that's totally the way to make the conversation less stupid

depends on how hard you are snowballing but wota is still viable on cass, and Rylai is near 100% purchase.

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.

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?

it doesn't always happen, but cass also does run out of mana a bit more often than a lot of the other popular heroes, and a lot of cass mains have shown they like tear a lot. tear was always the first item in that f33r3d k0r34n cass vid that was posted a couple months ago for example.

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

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.

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?


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.


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.

Indeed. 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!)

Cass usually likes Tear as her mana source because once she gets Seraph's Embrace the shield is actually a huge health buffer for her survivability (her base HP pool is garbage) and for a champion whose only mobility is MS-based and who relies on kiting with no instant-cast abilities (Q has an animation and delay, and you whouldn't cast E without a poison applied to the target first) Zhonya's is even more a "I hope my teammates clean up in these 2 seconds" over waiting for a critical cooldown to come back than usual. Doesn't mean she can Zhonya obv. (esp. against shit like Zed or Riven's ultimate).
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
