You've been doing a lot of Tear+Elder Lizard Ezreal builds, especially in ranked 5s. Can you elaborate on the build? It seems good at poke/harass, but don't you lose a lot of DPS? Are you doing it to punish bad lane opponents, or would you find it acceptable to run this build against a bot lane of similar skill as you?

I have a question about ad carrying that has been bugging me, and I was hoping you could help with some insight.

The problem is mainly against a team with gap closing bruisers and Hecarim/Irelia in particular. When I play ad carry I often get a feeling of helplessness in the late game even if I am decently farmed/fed. In team fights, I will try to stay safe while hitting the nearest target (tanky bruiser) but even with my BoRK/IE/PD is seems they can ignore me long enough for my team to get wrecked. If I move closer to hit a higher priority target, their top/jungle will instantly gap close on me and kill me or force me to use my gap closer/flash to get away, and they just run back into the fight and be useful. Back to square one.

My question is this: How do you make yourself impactful as a 3-item ad carry when their team has tanky gap closing bruisers that are hard to kite?

In the case of Hecarim he will probably not kill me, but I can't kill him either, so we are trading ad carry for jungler in a team fight which I assume is sub-optimal. I feel like I am wasting time attacking him, but I can't completely ignore him either.

3 item ad carry isnt really that strong yes if there is a ~3-4k hp 200 armor monster infront of you you cant really do much besides tickle him a bit it always depends a bit what you are playing - if you play sth like kogmaw/vayne you are way stronger with 3 items then lets say a tristana/ashe who scale better if the game lasts even longer. Usually its the best to keep tickeling though because you will most likely die (as you said) when you try to focus enemy ad/aps
