the reason im going for vayne is because historically she hes the strongest 1v9 ability, if you manage to farm up

i want to play a snowbally champ that rewards me when im actually better than the other player, i dont just want to gain lp

its about the domination as much as the hard carrying

only other option that comes to mind is twitch...

That maybe happens like in 1 game out of 2000.
The only reason you think this shit happens is because people like DL, hiimgosu, uzi, etc etc. are a tier above whoever they're playing, and can getaway with it.

Going for Vayne simply for the 1v5 potential is like introducing jungle mechanics with master yi or top lane with tryndamere.

Every current ADC snowballs hard in the right hands. Seriously in terms of soloQ domination Occult Draven would probably be your best bet. Just buy sword of the occult on any ADC as first item and you'll be fine.

i wont deny Vayne being the best lane counter for lucian in the right hands tho

If you're playing better than the other player, it doesn't matter what champ you are playing

My view is that Varus is best for learning ADC, because he has to utilise a mix of spell casting and AAing to get the most out of him. Lacking a mobility skill, he also teaches you how to position.

Most stylish ADCs (so you look good and feel like a boss when carrying) and Vayne and Draven. Both are a joy to watch when played well.

Every AD will do that if you dominate lane/mid game hard enough. No need to pick vayne

Twitch is kind of always team depended to some extend, so I won't recommend him for an individual hard carry style. Vayne, Draven, Lucian and if you are an extremely good Ezreal, those are the adcs that can solo carry when fed & good with them imo

Lucian is still the strongest ad and will stay so until they nerf Q or the passive. Play him, he's easy and makes you win, what more would you want ?

if you're not learning to play adc with lucian/corki you are basically handicapping yourself, and if you are going to handicap yourself the people who say that you should play escapeless adcs like ashe/varus/mf to force yourself to learn to position better are probably right.

after 7 games yesterday i decided i dont like vayne that much. i found that i like the idea of playing her, but not actually playing her.

next up, ezreal. always loved his mobile poke playstyle.

my plan to play 10 games on him today is severly hindered by the euw servers dying, though -.-

If you're learning ADC, go Lucian your first 20-30 games imo. Stronk laning and midgame, as long as you CS well and know how to position properly, you don't scale terrible in late game either.

From there, Caitlyn, then whatever ADC champ you feel fits your style. But there's really no reason for players playing ADC in solo q to not know how to play those two champs.

I don't think Ashe teaches anything about positioning though. Ashe is about ducking in a corner until the enemy Malphite burns his ult on someone else.

this is an important lesson to learn when you start out playing adc in solo queue.

Eh, with his passive Lucian is still very strong late game too. Just RNG-double crit someone off of any of your spells and you've just either removed them from the fight or dealth 1/3 to 1/2 of a frontliner's HP. Just that burst (or at least the threat of it as it's "only" around a 1 in 6 chance with standard IE/ghostblade/LW build) is enough to make him relevant.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Is lucian really good to learn? Won't you pick up bad habits as he's just strong at everything and has low CD mobility?

Granted going an ADC with a dash to one without will be a little daunting at first. But Lucian teaches newbs how to capitalize on mistakes first and foremost. His mobility and passive is what makes him so strong early and if the player learns how to consistently dominate with that kit, he can slowly take those training wheels off when he moves to other champ picks.

That's why I think it's more difficult to start off learning the ADC role with a pick like Ashe. I'm a big proponent of learning the OP stuff first then figuring out your own style from there.
