Does it matter?

It's 6% of your base damage vs 7.2% of your base damage, so it matters a little but not a lot. | ||

Also, putting pressure is enough for splitpushing. You don't need to kill anyone. Pushing up waves to towers while getting ready to tp is enough. because u say that its a fact LOL ? keep deluding yourselfself | ||

Well, unless you have a Thresh support. In that case there is nothing to worry about as ADC. | ||

This was kind of a surprise for me, as I was not warned of anything. It's possible that I was considered to be "spamming". Either case, it was very awkward for me. | ||

No need to sacrifice damage to itemize that way though, getting shiv/pd + zerkers is enough | ||

Usually when people say "good lategame" they tend to actually mean "scales well with farm", the latter of which is a lot less open-ended. | ||

It feels like good lategame is really ambiguous, because most champions seem scales well with farm because of how the game is made. There are champs like Mundo who become sort of unkillable with farm, but I don't know if he'd be described as a lategame champ. There's shit like Anivia as well, I don't know if she counts as a late game champ. The even bigger problem is champions who scale well into the late game even without a lot of farm. That sounds like a lategame champ to me, a champ whose strength lie in the lategame. Supports by nature of their kits usually scale well into the lategame. Then there are champs who get to the lategame before other champs to be good, but then it gets weird to talk about whether the lategame is decided by the state of lanes or the level/farm of certain champs or in-game time... Since people were talking about Irelia, I'm guessing it's more like "damage scales well with farm". I don't really see that compared other champs. Carries with aoe damage do shit tons of damage. Stuff like Kayle does shit tons of damage. If we talk about only duelists, then I guess Irelia comes pretty close. I would think that Jax would be better, and maybe Riven. Tryndamire as well. | ||

Anivia used to have a monster lategame. Last 2-3 years has released a ton of stuff that can either force engages through wall/ult, or else poke so hard that the stall game doesn't work. It's not that her scaling is bad(potential one shot combo with very low CD later in the game), but the way the game is played now makes her unviable. | ||

Zephyr as an AS item makes a lot of sense on Graves in a vacuum - the AS is good, but it also provides flat AD and hefty CDR to feed his ratios as a bursty AD, and his passive tankiness makes Tenacity more relevant than on your average AD carry, and again, you weren't building IE first so the crit wasn't as good. The obvious problems being that crit is just so, so important to ADs' damage output anyway and that Graves ultimately dies in a single solid combo just like any other carry. He might as well not have a passive after you get out of lane.For E spam you could just run more attack speed runes, it's pretty fun.

I'm of the opinion that the lucian build (Ghostblade -> IE -> shiv/LW depending on enemy team, with zerks) is the best way to play him. You lose out on a good chunk of AD scaling for Q/R until you pick up the BF but in return, you have a hefty amount more laning power and pretty insane dueling potential from ghostblade onwards, enough to beat everyone but lucian and probably even Lucian if you have your passive stacked up. | ||

Isn't it smarter to go bruta or BF first (mostly depending on how much gold you manage to back with), then the other, and finish ghostblade after that? | ||
