The debater icon means you people will argue to the ends of the earth till you win. It's quite annoying really.
I remember the zed discussion bout armor pen for reds or quints a year or two back.
I found and posted the vid here when that discussion was a thing and the tl;dw was basically Armor pen reds and AD quints is superior.
Though the good Zed stuff anyways is 2 AD 1 AS quint anyways. Who knows how the game or different rune pages should be now once pros play on the patch due to the armor nerfs all around the board. Just cause they're wrong sometimes doesn't mean they're never not wrong.
There's
still people who think building morello's or athene's is good for Azir for example. No. The pros and other people who actually
read changes know about the sorry excuse rito tried to do with "nerfing" him and to compensate the move in his passives he just needs to go nashor's now to have the attack speed and cdr he wanted.
Anyways
Doing 1.5 more damage to take 1.5 more damage from all sources, even minions, isn't worth it.
Bonus ad: Runes/Masteries Dblade at start and Pickaxe.
runes = 8.51 rounded to 9 in leagues case. Masteries gives you scaling ad with a total of 10 at level 18. But since level 1-6 whenever you get pickaxe, let's say level 6 (3.3 AD at level 6) then next is the flat 4 AD. Now to finally add the Dblade and pickaxe along with runes and masteries.
By level 6 you'll have a total of .966 AD which is 1 rounded up since league does that.
Doesn't matter much but again, more damage given never worth when you're taking the same amount as well. I rather have 3-7 extra AD than take 1.5 extra damage.
This is only 2% too, if the kind of ADC where you're allowed to go 2 points in warlord, 3.5% of that is 1.69 which is 2 more ad rounded up.
1.5 extra damage
all sources, even minions, please understand, plz
The AD role is to survive and do as much damage as possible while pray for RNGesus to be on their side, which is why the basic AD carry route is IE shiv, shiv for a bit of waveclear and since critsword gives you extra gold to start building into LW or BT.
Taking more damage even if they do 1.5% is never worth. Sometimes taking off 3% max health in defense is good and some people been switching to 10% slow reduction in the tree. Every little bit helps, and double edged sword has not been relevant for ranged anything since the change during preseason.
It's good for melee unless you wanna focus on the lower half of the offense tree like spell/blade weaving (riven ap mids like diana fizz etc.) but still warlord > DES for ad carries. No exceptions.
The bot lane in terms of solo queue is all about rush for level 2 and try to kill them immediately, if all 4 get it at the same time, but they have warlord while you have DES, guess who's gonna take more damage once the fight starts.
