The rise of all-AD teams in S6

MadMarco··1 votes·350 views

Since the launch of S6, I've noticed that more and more of my teams are all attack damage.

Why are people favouring AD characters?
My thoughts are that there is a subconscious realization of the synergistic effect of AD items. This effect being that abilities and autoattacks are enhanced by AD items. Whereas, AP items will only scale with abilities.

Perhaps AP items could also be programmed to enhance autoattack damage? :O

Pick rammus or Malph and laugh as they try to kill you whilst you run through them

ad itemisation is extremely efficient right now. mercurial scimitar has a forgiving build path, bf swords are cheaper, magic resist and armour penetration are very easy to come buy (rush maw, shit on your laner while having a shield and resists all at the same time if they're ap). on the other hand, ap item costs were increased with pretty much no compensation (zhonyas is like 1050g for +5ap and the active) which makes them less desirable to play and makes some mages completely forego a zhonyas rush for something like a roa if they want sustain.
