Back in S5 I remember if I was better than their duo I could pound them, and deny farm or even kill them.. But in this meta I take two steps passed my minion lane and there's their jungler, and a double TP. Is there really nothing you can do as ADC to impact the game? Feels like every game is over in 15 minute because one of your solo laners have 5 kills, or their solo laner has 5 kills. I've only played 10 games, and I might just be bad because I took a 4 month break, but does anyone have any tips on how to play bot lane now? It can't just be passive farm and hope that your team breaks even or wins.. | ||

If passively farming in lane isnt really your style, utility ADCs are also good right now ( i see sivir as your pic) Sivir, ashe, ezreal (I put him more in this category because his waveclear/poke/kiting are all basically annoying utility) What champions have you been trying to play? Lucian is an okay choice for aggro adc because of his low cd dash to escape those TP situations but you better be damn good at him. | ||

You need to be suuuuper mindful of TP timers now. If theirs is up, or they got more you have to play extremely defensive there's not really a lot you can do about besides playing something slippery and trust in your support. Always pink away the teleport ward on your side of the lane and try to keep one on their side. | ||

I wish there was at least some armor scaling on the spells that protect my teammates so I'd have a reason to get armor. yeah but its not like the armour scaling was even good like old taric gave +30 armour at level 9 new taric you built like 200 armour get one shot by mages do no damage and have no range and slow attacks was pure garbage LOL | ||

It can't just be passive farm and hope that your team breaks even or wins.. Well, you can but it takes coordination with your support. You've got to prevent deep wards for the port plays and get your own deep wards to prevent ganks. This seems like bot lane 101 but it's hard to do well. You need a sweeper and pinks and green wards. Pinks plural. They're cheap, always leave base with a pink. It's been off and on this way since ADs stopped taking ignite since the AD meta is almost always a response to the top/mid meta. When the top/mid meta is assassins then mobile/safe/early ADs tend to be powerful. When top/mid is tank/Mage then late scalers tend to be powerful. Now it's generally stronger to push and rotate rather than force a play. It's hard to engage under tower against a hard peel support and a late scaling/utility carry unless you're diving with the jungler or top. Which means they have to be ahead/you're relying on them. Sometimes this relies on your support to roam while the AD farms, sometimes you can go together, but in general it's best to think of a tank focused meta as a team fight focused meta. If you're not the one ready for a team fight the other team is probably ready to make a team fight out of you. Additionally it's worth noting that dynamic queue has increased the general level of play because fewer people get off roles and because the increased number of groups has upped coordination. | ||

Always pink away the teleport ward on your side of the lane and try to keep one on their side. I mean, you could just do better in the vision battle. Like you mentioned, it's good to be clearing out their wards and setting up your own -- which you really should be doing anyway to avoid standard jg ganks, let alone TP plays. I'm also encouraged by the removal of Distortion enchantment (but that's 6.9 I suppose). As an ADC main, what I'm thankful for is the following:

The ult sounds op but in practice the 2.5 sec wind up time is super hard to predict. rest of his stuff is pretty strong regardless of his ult. stun range is a bit small but I am gonna say he will get played eventually even if it takes a small buff to push him into a contested pick. | ||

His E looks the strongest on paper, but Q has the lowest CD if he is proccing his passive and its AoE. E>Q>W? E=Q>W? | ||

W and E have a static 60 mana cost while his heal goes from 60 to 140. Sounds like a good way to destroy your mana pool. | ||

I am just saying from past history new or reworked champs seem to always get a nudge if they are not being picked up | ||

I only played 3-4 games with him yesterday BUT he seems okay. I thought he's gonna be way stronger, judging by trailers and stuff but his heal on Q seems pretty damn weak. | ||

will definitely see pro play without any more buffs and such. his W witih ult and stun has just too much utility to pass up. tower dives are so free. | ||
