So I've been thinking about an ADC

Ralanr··1 votes·446 views

As the title says. Specifically I mean an ADC to play and possibly just say, "ADC? Ok I'll just grab my ADC". Problem is that I really dislike doing nothing but auto attacking. I prefer to use my abilities more.

So does anyone have an ADC that's more ability based that attack speed based?

lucian is ability reliant. Um i think graves sorta is. Ezreal uses spells a lot too as well as corki.

Lucian is very ability related because of his passive.

Kog'Maw is fairly ability heavy, but his W is an AA buff.

Corki relies on his abilities a lot.

Kindred is another.

Half of TF's kit focuses on AAs (a passive steroid on his E and an AA-reset with variable bonuses on his W). If you want to be using abilities more than AAs, TF might not be your man.

Maybe look into Ezreal? Or Corki?

Or wait until preseason hits live to see how things shake out. There are some BIG changes coming to ADCs that might affect your decision-making.

That's one of the big factors honestly.

The preseason. My apologies.

If you are talking about ability power adcs, then they wouldn't be considered adc, they would just be breaking the meta.

If you are talking about adcs who use abilities to pump out more dmg than using autos then I suggest Corki Draven Graves Quinn Varus Urgot

Those ADCs aren't really viable right now, unless you are a god with one of them or there are no tanks on enemy team. They aren't reliable because they cant shred tanks as well, but it doesn't mean they are completely garbage. If you use any of those champs, I suggest buying armor pen items and item 3153

Good news though, is that next season there are going to be a crap ton of items that allow these adcs listed above to be possibly way more viable or op against the tanks. So just keep that in mind.

Graves is a favorite, though with how his changes are in the PBE I'm not sure he'll work well in bot for the future.

Draven...he is free this week. Been years since I last played him, I guess I should give him a try.

Urgot Needs to be put on freaking free week sometime soon. Wait was he...I think he was.

Alright, so next season rito game will distinguish adcs to tell us how they should be played in order to make them stronger. Ex- Graves is a get in your face and bursts you down, he literally does more dmg based on how close he is to you.

Oh I know. I'm excited to shoot people in the face with a shotgun. But I already had problems with him in bot due to his range handicap compared to others.

I probably just need to practice him more.

He's actually pretty fun, he can farm like a god and his new q is so kool. Here's what he looks like on PBE, if you haven't seen the video already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH9Ts37yEkU

Seems like his Q is a great farming tool.

I have no problem with this.

You'd want a caster ADC or a Triforce carry. Ezreal, Corki, and Lucian are all good examples. If you're feeling particularly daring, Urgot, Jayce, and Kennen also fit the definition.

TF ADC can work, but it's not great. He has a natural attack speed steroid, a nice auto animation, and great roams, but he runs into the hybrid penetration issue. His E on hit does magic damage, and his W converts the whole autoattack. Since you'll have a lot of AD and armor pen, but no AP or magic pen, your E damage drops off hard and your W would actually lower your DPS.

When I ADC, I prefer Lucian. The way he can move around in fights gives me safety for some reason, even though his range is actually short. You will be dashing around a lot as Lucian, if you like that gameplay.

Tbh, I feel safer playing Luc than I do Trist. I don't know why, don't ask.

We all have our things. Give me Pantheon over Irelia or Darius any day.
