What ADC to choose

Speeedy·Nov 15, 2016·1 votes·3,708 views

So I have been reviewing my games and it just feels like sometimes I am picking the wrong ADC for my team composition. I feel like is just good overall in almost any scenario. When she is picked or banned I go to the only other champion that I play well which is . If my team is a poke comp which are the best adc? what is the best adcs to siege? What is the best ADC when you have a pure AD team? When is it good to play champions like , , , , , , , , or ? The rest of the champions i feel don't really fit my play style. I need to widen my champion pool for ADC past 2 champions and I am never sure when is a good time to pick them and just go with my pocket picks.

Also how do you lane against when he gets I really struggle at that point with champions.

Thanks for your help!

Try some Phylol/Phy Games on the Youtubes. He's a diamond ADC main that does a good job of commenting on his games and why he picks who he picks in champ select. Once in game he explains the matchup with his support and then the opposing bot lane. He'll be like "Okay so since I'm X and we have Y support, vs A ADC and B Support, we're going to want to <poke/play safe/focus on siege/whatever> because the opponent is going to <blah blah>. But they also have jungler W so we also need to watch out for <blah blah>"

Yes there are other streamers that are higher rank and what not, but Phy is good at giving insight into what/why/how and all that throughout if you're looking for some insights that you can apply to choosing and playing the different ADCs.

Just use your head. Here's some ways to looks at it. If your team is full of poke Tristana Jinx Caitlyn etc ranges are good to follow Jhin Varus Ashe etc can add more poke. You team has too much AD? KogMaw Corki Varus etc have decent AP on them or you can just go Teemo . So on so forth just think about it and you'll figure it out on your own.

The only thing I know out of these is that when your team is all AD then Corki is the best since a good amount of his damage is AP, KogMaw can also be good.

Ez is garbage. My personal opinion. He's the guy you pick when you need a bit of everything but aren't good enough to play other viable options so you pick him because of his arcane shift.
Team fully AD? Pick corki. You should learn him at least. He's hard to build around and he's the best Mid game adc
Ashe is utility based. She may not bring dmg like Twitch but she brings slows and stuns.
Trist is a siege machine and late game hyper carry. She's safe and powerful unfortunately, her teamfights are weaker than other hyper carries.
jinx-Vayne-Kogma-Twitch are tank shreds. Vayne is the safest pick right now due to her invisibility. Twitch is the oddest in my opinion in terms of adc. I can never play him, but a good twitch shreds an the entire team starting with the carries. Kogma is in a bad spot from what I hear. And jinx... well she's jinx nuff said.
Caitlyn, require you to hard bully your lane early game becaue of her mid game fall. She picks up again by late game but if you don't hard bully whoever your laning against will most likely dominate mid game harder than you. She's fairly safe right now as pick. I wouldn't doubt if she sees nerfs in the nearby future. Especially since we've hit a CRIT meta for ADCs.
Lucian and MF is in a bad spot right now with fervor nerfs and introduction to lethality. I can't say they're not worth the pick, but the flat armor pen change and fervor nerfs hurt them tremedously. Is he still viable? I guess that would depend on the player.
People say Jhin was hit hard as well by the nerfs. I don't believe it. Crit builds have always been strong on him and he doesn't go fervor anyways, It just means he takes longer to build than he used to.

As to eliminate Ez with gauntlet? Bully him hard before he gets it. His dmg build is lacking until he gets a gauntlet. So abused him. You go BF. He goes sheen. Your dmg output should be higher as long as you don't get hit by his Q.
