Hi everyone, with all the changes to ADC and AD items, I would like to reach out and get some advice for the ADCs I most enjoy playing.

Ashe Caitlyn Ezreal Jinx

If anyone could give me some detailed advice on build order/itemization for those champions specifically, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Build order is dependent on the situation, your runes and masteries and your current aim in the game.

Ashe Caitlyn Jinx :

  • All three are item 3031 ADCs. While they'd benefit from lower cooldowns, their abilities are not a really integral part of their damage, which is why they do not need Essence Reaver as much.
  • As an ADC, you can afford to buy early Lifesteal now if you need it. Vampiric Sceptre received a major buff, even if people did not properly acknowledge it yet (100 gold more expensive for 5 more AD and 2% more Lifesteal). So, if you're up against a lot of poke, get some sustain.
  • Your final build should contain item 3031 , item 3006 , one of the three cheaper item 3086 upgrades (item 3085 item 3094 item 3087 ), something for Armor penetration (either a Last Whisper upgrade (usually item 3036 or item 3071 or item 3142 if you're against a team of squishies) and two of the following, depending on the situation: item 3072 item 3139 item 3812 item 3046 item 3026 item 3102 .
  • item 3072 is good for all-purpose defense, if you need to withstand AoE effects and poke.
  • item 3139 is really useful if there is a debuff that needs cleansing, like Deathmark, Frozen Tomb or Wither. It pairs well with both item 3812 (the DoT is considered a debuff, as well) and item 3046.
  • item 3046 is good if you find yourself in a duel with a high-damage diver, or if you're rather close to the action often.
  • The defensive items are useful if your team already has an abundance of damage, but you get focused and die to quickly.

An example build I'd use on Ashe, if the enemy team has a Juggernaut top, a kiteable jungler and an AoE mage mid, with a rather pokey bot (terrible comp, I know. Aka solo queue): item 3006 item 3031 item 3085 item 3036 item 3139 item 3072 Masteries 18/0/12, Runes AS quints and AD reds, potentially some AS blues as well Minicore: item 3006 item 1038 item 3086 item 1053 (the latter due to the pokey lane) Complete either IE (looming teamfights) or Runaan's (extended laning), then the other. Proceed according to the situation (ahead? Go BT. Behind/enemy already has Armor? LW>LDR).

OP ITEM LIST: item 3046 : Deal HIGH damage while becoming even more hard to kill, use this with Warlords item 3094 item 3087 item 3078 : Instaburst from far away and BEYOND. item 3812 : good for AD Casters and Sivir, use it with item 3046 for a tanky ADC effect. item 3156 : Now it is a must use for ADC's against mages and enemies with too much magic damage. item 3508 item 3042 & item 3078 or item 3085 : Never run of mana, the passive of muramana interacts with the crit passive of essence reaver for a sustained on hit damage (up to 100 minimum bonus damage on-hit and beyond). item 3124 item 3153 item 3091 for a high on-hit DPS effect. you can add item 3085 and item 3087 if you want more AoE on the equation, but you better build an AD core item first.
