Draven got a triple kill, guess we'll just AFK because he's now three shotting everyone on the team

Still relevant with every other ADC, but change it to four shot.

Why is it taking so long to tone down ADC damage? It's reaching the point where I can't even attempt to gank an ADC if they get a pre-6 double kill, because they're likely going to kill me or almost kill me before I even connect with them. They should not be doing this much damage at 10 minutes.

lel people complain about Draven when shit like Xayah does more dmg and is safer. Dont even make me bring up hyper ranged Kha zix on steroids tristana to the equation Draven is one of the weakest adcs.

I would rather play Vs xayah that has to set up feathers than that brain-dead ADCs like varus Tristana kog, vanye that outscale anyone with 1 or 1,5 items.

I miss the days when my champ wasn't considered braindead Varus, and I miss the days when on-hit varus didn't exist.

What builds would you rather exist?

I guess he likes the Poke build, where abilities are much more important than Auto Attacks. Many people associate point-and-click with braindead.

Yeah. Wait- Yasuo Riven

...Meh, let's face it. Many people associate too strong/annoying with braindead.

Anu3isII2 votes

I guess the best word is "unfair".

"Point-and-click burst" is one of the things on the list, alongside "seemingly undying characters who murder me in seconds". Everyone with their own perception I guess.

The only form of Varus I consider braindead is lethality Varus. That shit pokes you from outside of FoW and then goes on repeat.

Somebody Love Me5 votes

But at least he had to land skillshots, and his auto attacks were sub par. I liked skillshot Varus before lethality existed, but of course, Lethality has to ruin everything

I have good news for you: Varus is only considered a braindead champ in the Boards circlejerk.

Xayah is equally braindead as the other ones.

You must not play xayah then. Out of all the meta ADCs she probably takes the most skill to play effectively under draven ofcourse

Bun Bo Hue Ngon2 votes

Xayah is a brain dead champion and draven is weak rn

KennysDreamGirl7 votes

braindead champion means that you could pick said champion up for the very first time knowing nothing about, never played him/her and you could do well. you can not just first time xayah and just do well. she needs proper positioning of her abilities and her passive to do any meaningful damage and if you cant do that then you wont win fights at all, period.

Corrupt Bliss2 votes

I mean that's the same thing with every champion. Proper positioning, effective use of skills, timing, etc. Each champion has so many nuances that I do not believe 'brain dead' champions exist.

Yes, there are some with substantially different skill caps, but when it comes down to it each champion is unique and difficult in their own prospects.

i can agree with that

Built in zhonya.

KennysDreamGirl2 votes

and? that's all youre going to add to this conversation? i can name stupid parts of peoples kits too

Aatrox built in ga (passive)

Blitzcrank built in shield (passive)

Jax built in guinsoos (passive)

MissFortune built in duscblade (passive) (bonus damage on next attack)

you see where im going with this? naming one part of a champions kit you dont like and not even talking about why that ability is bad (which xayahs ult isn't even that bad) is not an argument

At a certain point in game scaling champions can stop relying on their setups for more consistent damage output (ADCs for example). The only way you get bursted by only Xayah's W is if she's either extremely fed or she reached her 3-4 item power spike.

Daunt1 votes

Uh yes? That's how scaling works. Assassins get outscaled. Although you're over exaggerating with the ADC doing more burst damage than the assassin stuff. Assassins still burst faster but they simply fall off cause it's harder to successfully assassinate someone late game. This doesn't mean assassins can't kill their targets, it means it becomes harder to do it since their targets scaled and have teammates alongside them.

1st of all it's 1.5 seconds, 2nd of all LB has other tools to fill out that duration, 3rd of all her delays suck which is why she's getting a mini rework soon so it's a bad example. Of course you're exaggerating when you're most likely diving an ADC 1v2 or 1v3 late game and expecting to live while getting the kill. You're incredibly biased cause you fed an ADC and you're complaining cause you got punished for it.

She's getting the rework cause she's unsatisfying to play while still being problematic and unhealthy.

An assassin should never ever die 1v1 to an ADC

You're actually delusional as fuck lol. The ADC shouldn't die if the assassin fucked up or if the ADC outplayed him. The point of an assassin is to outplay and assassinate a high priority target in the enemy team. Preferably in a 1v1 scenario. That clip was already disproved. Stylish played it terribly and went into melee range of a fed ADC that he didn't even focus. He could've stayed alive if he went back to his W sooner.

Draven would have atleast a 600g lead not including his passive amd depending on what draven bought he could fairly easily 3 shot a the botlane squishes

enemy adc 3 shotting my whole team at minute 10 is quite unfair, yeah

Would be if "3 shotting" were actually the case. But unless you're an underleved vayne, that's not happening.

saltran4 votes

and at 10 min even a feed Vayne can't 3 shot, let them circlejerk that the most snowball adc in the game made snowball and it's unfair.

Sun Wu Ryuumoku9 votes

Draven : 5 min in 2/0 10 min in 6/2

op as udyr died at the second minute against draven and die again at 7 against victor... and used an offensive build. So he rushed trifoce with no defense despite be underleveled. no armor until 25-30 min [zombie-brand-facepalm]

i totaly understand how he could be "3shotted" (no litteraly tho)

FOR JUSTICE15 votes

in all fairness though, handing ANY snowball champ a free 3 kills is a bad idea. just adc's are the most circlejerked ones. there are also ones like Camille, katarina, veigar, nasus, and akali.

Somebody Love Me8 votes

The thing is...4 of those champs are melee and susceptible to CC more-so than a ranged champ. And one has cooldowns he has to wait for.

Plus those champs usually don't have a bunch of meatshields peeling for them while they nuke teams.

Nasus, imo, is the most ridiculous out of that group because he's so damn tanky. Camille can get cc'ed and popped, but she's so fucking mobile, but I'd take a fed Camille over Nasus any day.

JackMcSnipeyz12 votes

If you cant 3v2 an adc with 600 gold lead that's on you dont use the "lol adc 3 shot me" buzzword shit. I'd be happy for you to prove me wrong tho, with any video of an adc 3-4 shotting someone from full health with just a 2 kill lead.

Bârd10 votes

What, you think you should have been able to tank him?

Look at your line up.

Gangplank Udyr Xerath Tristana Bard

There are only two champions on your team that are even remotely tanky.

Udyr (you) only had item 3742 item 2053 for armor, and your only other HP item was a item 3078 Bard looks like he was going off the reccomended build from when the champion was released. item 3190 item 3024 were all of his armor, and he didn't have a single point of bonus HP.

Your "tanks" aren't building tanky enough, and everybody else is squishy.

If a fed Draven couldn't shred through that team, that would mean he needs buffs.

I'm guessing you never played vsCamille who got a double kill in top during the early game, draven is heaven compared to her.

Pretty much any midlaner or toplaner will take a triple kill and just mash your team, adc's at least have to watch for 1 shots

NodirjonSattarov7 votes

Draven hasn't really been touched in a long time and you're complaining about an EARLY GAME CHAMPION doing well in the EARLY game? Don't give Draven a triple kill, don't let Draven make use of his passive, and simply ride till late game. It's your fault for feeding the Draven

HaIlMonitor2 votes

ADC carries rarely have early game/mid game/late game champs. They have whoever got the most fed is the all game champ. Some scale better, but really if draven is an item up does it matter before the game ends at 30 that kog out scales him?

Daunt4 votes

Another classic Yenn post. Why wouldn't ANY champion snowball after getting 3 kills in lane? You fucked up, you get punished. Also, you went 3/13 why the fuck are you even posting this on the boards?
