First... i suck at this game. (i wouldn't post it here for help if i am good) so each time at team-fight. some assassin can one shot you (even if you are ahead) so is there a possible way to survive assassination (or prevent it) with your self (lets say your support don't know how to protect )

lots thank!item 3632

Go 18/0/12 on your masteries and make sure to pick up the fearless mastery in the resolve tree. Besides that you can try building some resistance against them in game, like a guardian angel or a hexdrinker.

Besides that, just learning positioning helps a lot. If they have an assassin stay back a bit further so they have to dive deeper to get to you, make sure you ward properly so that they can't flank you, and issue pings often to keep allies aware of the map state.

It's kinda difficult if your support/team won't/can't/refuses to peel for you. It's surprising how many Janna's in my level will put their shield on anyone BUT the ADC haha....

Realistically, there is very little chance an ADC survives a good assassin on their own. If you get caught out, make the best of it, but don't waste any summoners or anything, unless it gets close or you can flash over a wall or something.

Generally speaking, you really need to rely on your support/tank members of your team to hide behind. Try and position yourself in such a way that the assassin has to go through them to get to you. Don't stand in front of your front line, don't stand in front of the turrets when under siege, don't face check bushes, etc etc. Positioning is a big deal when it comes to surviving for adc's.

But, for itemization, there are a few things you can do to help.

item 3026 - Lets you survive the burst giving you a fighting chance afterwards.

item 3046 - the passive on Phantom Dancer is a huge damage reduction and helps alot with surviving extended trades.

item 3072 - this is high damage, high life steal is great for situations where you need to trade and duel a lot.

For Runes, focus on Attack Speed, Lifesteal, damage and crit chance. A lot of people put armor and MR in their runes, this use makes no sense. It prioritizes an early game defense, when ADC's are mid/late game champions anyways. So it makes more sense to give their late game a slight edge.

For Masteries, go 18/0/12, and in the Ferocity tree make sure you select Vampirism, and in the Resolve tree make sure you select Perseverance.
