They don't fall off 100% of the time, it's just that it's easier to itemize against them, and if you dont give them an absurd lead you will be able to handle them easier than a balanced comp because all you have to do is build armor.

no, it is still better to have at least 1 magic damage dealer

full ad is a significant disadvantage because they don't have to itemize for MR, saving them for other items.

Oh you have 300 armor?

Let me item 3035 item 3142 item 3071 Fix that for you JarvanIV Vi MonkeyKing

What, like all AD glass cannons? Yeah, they will, if you have the right kind of team. If you're talking a decent team with some actual meat on it and not just marksmen and assassins, then they still stand a good chance of winning.

They laugh at your futile attempts to Thornmail them!

This is true because of Statik Shivv being magic damage. An ADC with Statik Shivv and a Yasuo mid and they'll still wreck you even with lots of armor.

They fall off, but they can win pretty easily if your team loses every lane. The one thing AD has over AP is a much better early game and typically have an easier time snowballing.

AP has a better early game. It's actually one of the main reasons teams have an AP mid. For the powerful early game spike.

Unless you are Zed . Then you just power spike as AD

Not like every viable AP mids gets shit on by Zed or Yasuo or anyhting

LoL. Veigar, Malzahar, Anivia, Cass and many others have really strong late game and teamfight presence

Kitten of Evil2 votes

Yeah, Anivia in particular basically sacrifices everything early game (mobility, autoattack speed, and early damage) so she can grab item 3003 and item 3027 to become an absolute god late-game.

AP has a rather weak early game compared to AD. We can look at Riven, Renekton, Zed, Xin, Draven, Mantheon... The list goes on. Not all AD champs are the best early, especially ones that are ranged, but a good chunk of them have much, much better early games and can burst and out trade long before an AP champion has the mana or big AP item they need to pump out the damage they do. Most AD's can get a Brut, only 1337g, and be at the top of their game. AP's can get a Needlessly and be pretty good, but even it doesn't compare to the amazingness of the Brutalizer.

AP is mid because they scale off levels more due to their spells while ADCs scale off items, so AP needs the levels more and AD needs the babysitter for their gold more. Cripes, get it right!

Typically, AP champs are the ones known for their midgame power, and ADs are known for their late. Early game largely depends on the champ, but you shouldn't be teamfighting much in the early game anyway.

Let me correct you, ADs are known for their snowball to all game power.

Always great when people build MR against an all AD team.

It all depends on the Itemization. Knowing that everyone on their team will be building armor , it's pretty mandatory that everyone on the all AD team build at least 2 armor pen Items to be able to cut through the armor they'll be building

the thing that is a core of this post os that all ad team can actualy win by arpen since its so easy to access

i remember when there was that mode allowing you to play an entire team made out of the same champions

i had a match of nautiluses vs zed's every nautilus had a randuin thornmail and other tanky items didnt stop zeds from just wrecking us even if we fought 2v1 with them because all of them had enough arpen to obliterate our hp pools before we and our thornmails were able to scratch them

Narasimha6 votes

Thats probably because Nautilus does no damage. Thornmail by itself isn't going to do anything special. Its just there to buy some extra time. You still need your own damage output to be able to contribute.

Nautilus deals no damage!?

He has a big FREAKING ANCHOR!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT THING HURTS!?

They do against a fully built Rammus with thornmail.

My favorite is the annoying af over analyzers, "oh blah blah blah will be blah blah blah late game. blah blah blah will be good here. omg no 5 ad we fall off O:"

gawwddddd stfu

cFlame1 votes

This honestly should be down voted to oblivion. You gave no input or said anything besides lol. But I guess its come to this, there really isn't anything that's easily possible for the tanks anymore. Bruisers don't have much of a benefit unless they don't feed. They can't Riven a Vayne, nor Irelia a Draven.

All-AD teams or 4-AD teams, in the last 2-3 months, have been so overpowering. I main support, I play and build to protect my team, and I do great at that, but what am I supposed to do if my tanks get melted even after I bought frozen heart for them and they all have thornmails and other tank items. Like really, AP has been nerfed so much lately that it indirectly makes most AD champs superior. Especially if they don't use mana Riven Yasuo Zed

deadlychuck1 votes

Unfortunately even if they aren't 100% AD, the fact of the matter is that at this MOST teams are actually 4/5 AD champions. The only exception to this is the support, who tends to be AP out of purely need for utility somewhere on the team.

Meep Man1 votes

AD Assassins, yes, because unless they are absurdly fed, the high amounts of armor usually obtained late game will shut them down. Any other type of AD? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

futuresight231 votes

All AD teams don't fall off, they just get crushed when they fall behind and their opponents build significant armor before they can get armor pen.

The heaviest legit AD Comp I can remember was something like Jayce top Zed mid XinZhao jungle Vayne adc and i forget who the support was, point is it didn't fall off late game at all.
