"marksmen items are expensive"

Irelia Bot··15 votes·4,468 views

item 3078 (3733) VS item 3031 (3400) item 3053 (3200) VS item 3094 /item 3087 (2800) or item 3046 (2700) item 3748 /item 3074 (3500) VS item 3095 (2800) item 3071 (3000) VS item 3033/item 3036 (2800)

I call bullshit.

Marksmen items are cheaper and have better multiplicative scaling.

Marksmen just die in half a second because they don't build things like Banshee's veil anymore.

the difference is marksmen spend all game being Eiffel tower'd by mid and jungle so it's harder to get their items

"eiffel tower'd" is a revolutionary verb

I dont know what build path and power spike means and I base my idea of the game based on training mode against target dummies.

Cherrypicking items to try to make it seem like you have a point is pretty silly. AD items in general are just expensive.

These aren't necessarily Marksmen items.

They're not. Just like none of the items OP listed are inherently bruiser items. But they're most typically associated with marksmen, while the items OP listed are typically associated with bruisers.

Lhuhz1 votes

But some adc have those items as their core items (specially BotrK and Guinsoo for the on hit adcs) and the others are also bought later by a lot of adcs.

You cant ignore that and pretend that every adc buys crit, anyway this thread is bullshit because it's trying to make it look like crit itemization is better than bruiser itemization just by the gold it cost without looking at anything else when crit itemization is trash.

Ezreal Corki buy item 3078 Lucian MissFortune buy item 3071 Yasuo Tryndamere buy item 3046 item 3031

Aside from ranged/melee only items, none of them are exclusive for one role or the other.

Lol. Botrk and Rageblade are core items for some marksmens.

Hardly.

Vayne Varus Kaisa KogMaw are core users of Rageblade right now.

Kalista can use it, I believe it's situational.

OFc they are, cause ADC is a role where they have a support to help them with their income. It would be very strange if the support items were that expensive and ADC items were super-cheap.

I dont know the math but if a wave is worth 140-200g and a support gets ~45 gold per wave <-

Its only logic.

Difference is, a Jax with just a tiamat can 1v1 a Storm Razor ADC with ease.

Maybe because Jax counters right clicks?

Jax counters everything

Lol besides how weak his early game is?

What makes him strong item and conqueror rune which turns him murderer late game.

Early game he is nothing more than a walking lampman.

SaltyCauseBad3 votes

Oh. Is that why my hp bar disappears in 3 seconds against him. My bad then, corrupting potion must be op, not Jax himself.

WoΘxer1 votes

U are so delusional that I can't describe how low you are.

Why no one cried about jax before runes forged and Conqueror introduction hmm?

Jax was sitting in neutral position and no one gave a single fk. Player's stated valid reason why he is strong and what makes him strong.

I love when random Gold four kids start calling others 'low' when they disagree with their opinions. It fucking makes my day

Should someone tell him that ADCs are glass cannons not meant to be capable to go 1v1 vs assassins or fighters?

If I play the fight better than the enemy assassin or fighter then I should win the fight.

I shouldn't auto lose a fight just because I'm a marksman.

Saianna1 votes

Even if you play better, as long as assassins kit has the tools to catch you (and he won't derp too much), you should be dead. That's why ADCs have supports to... you know... support.

Obviously if you have mastered ADC and you know some super secret micro-macro techniques, you will win, but if skills are similar, sorry mate, you should not.

So, you have not seen vayne or lucian or draven lately. Sure if the jax gets to go on top of them which means they fucked up in the first place. Keep in mind just a tiamat means like level 5-6 so Q cd is about 10 sec

Trinity Force is a standalone power spike that turns most of it's users from zero to hero.

Infinity Edge needs other items along side it to work.

Once Camille Irelia Jax get item 3078 they can more a less 1v9.

DuskDaUmbreon5 votes

Trinity is also more valuable of a powerspike than any ADC item, and any of its components are more useful than most ADC item components.

Same goes for either Tiamat item, tbh. BC is roughly on-par with ADC items, but has better components.

Also, you're deliberately ignoring that only two ADC items (BorK and Stormrazor) are any good whatsoever on their own. Have a Zeal item? Zero fucking damage. IE? You're throwing away gold, and have zero fucking AS. LW item? No damage to penetrate with.

Lhuhz2 votes

You have to understand that OP misses being able to play Irelia botlane like on 8.11 and destroy any adc, dont expect him/her to see more than the big gold number.

I'll fix it for the op

Marksmen items are cheaper but most champions need at least 3 before they start doing any consistent damage

Rexxiee5 votes

Trinity force irelia beats any adc with boots 2 stormrazor and rfc.

3700 gold beats over 6k gold.

Not gonna talk about that one huh?

OmegaNITRO2 votes

Of course not, that wouldn't suit the narrative of false equivalency OP is presenting.

Granted, even if we took that at face value, it would beg the question that if "marksman items" are cheaper and scale better, why isn't Irelia building them?

Their items aren't expensive, and their strong, but they die so quick by so many champions that it's absurd. Bruisers, Juggernauts, Mages, "Support" Mages and Assassins all delete them or kill them with no problems.

id hope so.

if a juggernaut gets into melee range of a marksman he has fulfilled his win condition, while a marksman failing to stay away from a juggernaut has misplayed.

id be offended if marksmen didnt get deleted by juggernauts.

VolatileAkali1 votes

Yeah, but currently juggs and bruiser do insane damage to everyone, so yeah it's kind of annoying to be against one.

WashyMoney4 votes

Really stupid thread. How about compare effectiveness at X gold value instead of comparing how many items at X gold value.

How strong is an AD at 5000 gold vs how strong is a bruiser at 5000 gold?

Guess Tanks are the strongest class cause their items are cheap!! This doesn’t make any sense.

Uhm no. This doesn't work on here. Try comparing Seekers to Hexdrinker and see the hordes downvote you because "muh l2p"

I like how you manage to remember that crit items are multiplicative scaling but ignore how getting three of them(IE and 2 Zeals), as you're intended to do as a crit ADC, also gives you 120% crit, thus over capping you, and thus meaning you just wasted a shitton of gold. How many fighters are wasting 800 gold on their 31 item spike? None because all of the stats on Trinity have been morphed into stats that fighters like regardless.

Also, wow, 3733 gold for an item that literally gives you everything you need to actually be a champion compared to 3400+2800+2800=9000 gold in order to barely function. Its as if, by itself, Trinity force, without looking at its passives, is 94% gold efficient. How gold efficient is IE by itself? 72%.

If you mean on it's own with no extra items then I'd say IE isn't 72% gold efficient as the double crit passive and true damage won't be in use due to having no critical strike.

OtterlyLost1 votes

Without the passive(so without any other items), IE is 72% gold efficient. It gains 11% efficiency for every 10% of crit and becomes 100% efficient after at least 1 zeal item. However, most AD's don't start doing damage with just 1 zeal item and considering how awful and inefficient IE is by itself, they aren't going to rush build an IE.

Hypochondria91 votes

This meta is all about popping squishies which markmen can do but only after 2-3 items. While AD assassins and AP champs get a massive 1 item spike at duskblade or ghostblade and ludens.

Hell a champ like Talon can 100-0 with a item 3134

Modl Ryden l1 votes

It's because items like Infinity Edge and Stormrazor are interdependent on having AT LEAST one zeal item. So really having either JUST Infinity Edge or JUST Stormrazor isn't as efficient as having something like JUST Trinity Force. Until getting a Zeal item, the user building them has sunk a LOT of gold until at least building Zeal.
