Marksmen Theorycrafting Time!

My two cents on which ADCs will be strong in Season 6.

- They weren't kidding when they said Lucian was gonna like the itemisation changes, New is arguably a first item rush to allow Lucian to poke with Q and get brawly with his abilities without running dry, not to mention due to Lightslinger Lucian scales excellently off CDR. Combine with an IE for big crits. It should be noted that builds that focus on raw AD and little AS will be significantly stronger as the Culling will do MUCH more damage with those builds. Plus, a raw AD build with CDR almost has Attack Speed due to repeated procs of Lightslinger.

After ER and IE, you could either go a Death's Dance, Phantom Dancer and Youmuu's combo for splitpushing and insane duelling, OR go Runaan's, Bloodthirster and maybe Lord Dominik's for a teamfight build. Definitely looking good this Season.

- No one has a hope of duelling Vayne now. Her kit already has excellent duelling, and despite the BORK nerfs, it's still the optimal item for duelling. get Blade, Death's Dance, Phantom Dancer, Lord Dominik's (or Mortal Reminder) and either IE, Bloodthirster, Mercurial and you will lifesteal insane amounts of HP. You could splitpush against pretty much anyone, as with the Silver Bolts changes, if you don't kill Vayne quickly, you WILL die to Silver Bolts.

- Go watch some Graves PBE videos and you'll see why Graves is gonna be on your ban list. While his late game may still lack in comparison to other Marksman, his INSANE burst, melee base stats, and new passive make him impossible to out damage if he gets in range. With IE allowing him to fire 10 shots, raw AD is essentially provided by crit anyway. With IE, Rapid Firecannon and pretty much any crit and AD items, you're burst is insane and you can group with your team and muscle turrets down. Hell, each of Graves' bullets apply on-hits, so toss a BORK into the build and kill tanks in one hit too!

- Let me add a disclaimer- MF will be strong IN THE RIGHT GAMES.

Against heavy dives or assassins MF will struggle as she will have no chance to make use of Love Tap due to having to run or kite, but in a comp with a lot of Bruiser, or Mages, MF will deal bonkers amounts of AOE damage. By having no target to hard focus, MF can freely swap targets to essentially deal double damage due to Love Tap dealing 100% AD late game. With a crit heavy build, Bullet Time will deal great damage. Raw AD will be preferable, so the IE,ER and Bt combo may pay dividends, although I still like Triforce on her for her great Sheen synergy.

- 5.00 Attack Speed.

BORK maybe the new rush item on Koggy, as are on-hits in general. As long as you get a build with BORk and enough Attack Speed to break the cap, you'll do more damage than anyone given the time needed to unload damage. Runaan's has excelleny synergy, as does Rapid Firecannon, and while you won't proc it much DURING W, Triforce and it's Sheen still looks appetising. oh and the execute damage on R is beautiful.

- MOAR POISON!

Youmuu's and Runaan's grants impressive teamfighting and massive Contaminate damage. If you're ambushing splitpushers or solo targets, then Death's Dance and PD will make you damn near unstoppable 1v1. The key to Twitch's success is if he does these things in teamfights.

1- Stealth 2- Get behind the enemy team to the backline 3- Pop Youmuu's, Ult, EVERYTHING 4- Unload on the enemy backline from a safe position (out of range of enemy gapclosers) 5- Run as soon as the enemy starts to turn on you. 6- Either Twitch killed someone, or his allies followed up on a crippled enemy, granting Twitch the reset and allowing him to flee. 7- Re-Stealth and find another good position to kill everyone else.
