he's 6300 and not OP, plus he requires a solo lane, which is usually taken by a carry (mid) or tanky dps (top)

also his cooldowns are really long... like, after i use my ult, i sit around and be useless for 5 seconds before RS comes up again

I dunno, I just build a ton of MR/AP, a bit of CDR. With my Ult+a burst champ or two, you can knock out a good couple of your opponent's team, then I spend the rest of the fight throwing Bulwark around and shooting air bubbles, which do pretty good damage.

I guess he is pretty team-specific with AoE comps or Burst Assassins.

After I ult, I walk around and try to get in the way of skillshots. That's pretty much a tank's job, anyway.

omfg i hate those games

had that **** happen to me several times where both me and the enemy veigar are like 9-1

both teams are asking us to init but we're both so afraid of the other one that nobody does it because we're not trying to stun anyone but the other veigar

it's really interesting

So I played kassadin for the 2nd time ever yesterday.
I went and got myself 3.5k mana and roamed around team fights with 7-11 stacks on my ultimate.

I have never seen tanks and squishies both go down that fast.
Oh lordy.

Jungle Poppy with appropriate team mates to ensure she can actually jungle.
OR SOMETHING.

IMO she seems fine to go bot as a pseudo support with a strong buddy / ranged carry, like Caitlyn. Become alistar without the heals and outplay your enemy team to **** them.

Are there any good team comps that can feature Poppy?
Any. Poppy is best champ in game by far, I have never seen one with more than 1 death and less than 30 kills, faceroll faceroll faceroll = u win huehuehue

Those sound like basic guidelines to every champion. But fo' reals, I think Poppy will see more popularity if the roam meta ever comes back into style, which it might if they ever decide to increase the cost of boots (or potions) to hit early lane sustain and thus a big swing in lane dominance in general. Probably won't happen, but it's something to chew on.

Oh and that jungle remake, if it were to ever happen.

In a serious setting it does not work.
crumbzzz and doublelift have tried pretty much everything to integrate it into their teams.

anyone here an AD carry main or has any good info the laning phase for AD carries

i've recently been thrust into that position for my team, which is fine by me since i climbed ranked with caitlyn, but i feel like i don't know what to do in the laning phase when i'm not her. like recently i've been using kog and i just don't get why other kogs always seem to destroy me and when i'm kog i always get destoryed.

if there is anyone who has any advice or can help me or anything about laning with AD's that'd be great. i think i'm just missing something simple and everything'll click into place after but idk

**** or get *****

Sums it up quicker imo

Like, the hardest thing about ranged carries is everything AFTER laning imo. Laning is either lopsided or a farmfest bot. IF things boil down to a farmfest or are going to boil down to that, make sure you're comfortable with how that's gonna play out for your team. For example you might not want to free farm as Ashe vs Vayne/Kog/Graves unless your team can deal with it. What YOU specifically can do about that as a carry, not much, but basically just rely on your team not to suck early on, and they rely on you not to suck later on.

There's not much you can do as a carry about a bad MU bot or some kind of disadvantage like their team has a stronger ganking character. All you can do is try to avoid getting ***** and out farm, and do something about it later. Everything you do is geared towards later or being capable enough in the present to get to later. If something comes up, 90% of the time you're just gonna have to say **** it and wait til you get into carry mode.


What you can do specifically in laning as a carry better? CS better, harass better, avoid harass/ganks better. That's it. That is the triangle of AD carry bot. Can I **** him? Can I farm this safely? Can I stop him from ****** me?

ok, so kinda what i figured but just a little more in depth

thanks.

i guess my problem right now is i just really don't know match ups/characters well except for cait

i'm a lot more comfortable after laning (though i'm sure much i could improve on) it's just laning seems like a hot mess at times, which i guess it is with certain match ups

Hotshot streaming and people on the other team advertising free-riot-points.co.uk and other random *** fake keyloggers

its pretty funny how he has to damage control and explain, "please do not click on those, please do not follow those links, they are keyloggers, they will hack you" to his fans just in case

its also sad :(

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to

Just wanted to point out that Ezreal or Cait would've been better in this example. Trading free farm with an ashe is usually just fine for Ashe because she brings so damn much utility to the table for a ranged carry that she can make up for lopsided damage scaling waaayyyyy better than other carries who don't scale as well into the lategame.

^^^ Better way of putting it yeah. I was just trying to think of a carry that didn't scale like Vayne Kog etc. You don't necessarily have to **** your lane opponents as a carry to do your job, just be mindful if their carry/setup does better down the road. If they do better later on AND they are doing much better early on, you probably need to do something about it (jungler, mid) wise or you're gonna have trouble regardless. Either way, farm **** avoid ****. The only 3 things you need, and basically the only 3 things you personally can influence. Anything outside of that laning wise is outside your scope, besides dragon control but that's a teamwide effort not a specific "role" thing.

shoot creeps and have a better support than the other guy

that's always been my understanding of playing ranged AD.
This is actually kind of true.

Anyways, one strong factor that people oftentimes don't take into account is creep aggro. One of the best times to harass someone is when you have twice as many creeps as he does; if he tries to retaliate, then he'll take a lot more creep damage than you.

Harass people when they go for last hits. This works with all carries, but especially with characters that can strongly punish on a successful read like Caitlyn with Q, Graves with Q, and Corki with Q. Most people will adapt to this by trying to fake you out, but if this makes them miss cs then you're accomplishing your goal.

I'd give more tips but I have class work I need to worry about -_-
