2 Ganes of C9, twice with double ADC

Earl Eulrich··7 votes·1,322 views

Yea I know it´s only two games (+1 game OGN with SKT)...but it really goddamn indicates how ADCs are waay over the top. It´s unthinkable to have a comp without 1 of those guys, but it´s obviously strong to just stack them. This preseason really would be a chance to put a stop to the obvious favourism of ADCs, grasp it Riot. #buff tanks 2015

Nah, we're gonna nerf assassins until it becomes 8-9 adcs per game.

I honestly wouldn´t be surprised to see teams with 3 ADCs work out, even on the highest lvl.

It would never work.

Yeah because, Fizz, Akali and Zed are just so UP right?

IMO the issue is with Corki and Lucian, not with ADC as a whole.

Lucian does obscene amounts of point-and-click damage (that's also AoE) on a 9/8/7/6/5 cooldown, along with insanely long range damage/waveclear, and can dash about 3 times as much as Graves in the same interval of time.

Corki is an ATTACK DAMAGE carry who gets more damage out of freaking Sorcerers Shoes than attack speed boots. I don't think anything more needs to be said.

If that was Ashe, Varus, or Kog mid I guarantee they would have been deleted by Xin Zhao the moment they stepped 2 feet out from under turret.

i actually have a lot of fun with AD kog mid. use W to farm until you hit 6, then use ult to farm.

It rather indicates that there are not many responses against a lategame Mundo AND Warwick other than sacrificing your early teamfight advantage and going for a fulllategame.

On a sidenote: Corki is no full ADC but an ADC/Caster hybrid. Early / Midgame he's really casterish. (Especially since Mpen boots are a common choice on him)

It's not like just any carry could go mid. (On a sidenote: He faced Orianna which isn't that much of a killthreat. Try facing a Syndra with Corki....)

The reason that assassins are so strong right now is actually due to the meta. Like, if there are few tank champs being picked, and it's mostly all squishies, and the ADC is very powerful, assassins are going to excel.

Double AD has been a strategy for quite a long time and there is reason why it falls off. If you can't win the game early you lose it late. Double AD doesn't have enough damage to win late game because all you need to do is build armor. Even if you have jungler or top building ap ou are then missing a tank. If top tanks and jungle goes ap then the jungler doesn't prove enough ap damage. If top goes ap and jungle tanks the jungle can never make enough gold to tank effectively. it's very easy to itemize against double ad and ezreal is almost always an ad because he can buff attack speed.

it never falls off, you can´t scale harder itno the lategame than with 2ADCs. THe problematic-phase for double-ADC in S2 had always been midgame, when they really had troubles killing tanks if they did fall a tad behind - but with the 4.10 reforms they spike to early in power for that to happen currently.

I know double ad compositions fall off for a fact. If the team cannot end the game before 30-35 minutes then they will lose almost always. This is because:

  • Top lane has to tank or build AP
  • If top lane tanks Jungle has to build AP and vice versa
  • Jungle does't have enough income to do either effectively
  • AT the 30 minute mark the enemy team will have enough armor to prevent the the double ad's from killing them fast enough
  • The enemy team can almost ignore MR all together

If you watch in the future if double ad comps do not win considerably early than they lose. The benefit of having corki mid is a large % of ap damage in his kit. Ezreal is necessary because of his attack speed steroid.
