ADC Question? Need help and opinions

III BAKURYU III ··1 votes·244 views

OK I'm going to start off and say when I play ADC I hate item 1055 and 1Xitem 2009 start.
My runes normally as Lucian and Ezreal and not so much for others but sometimes are 9x Att Dmg Reds/9 Flat armor(but I'v seen and heard that 9x scaling hp runes are a thing?) 9x Scaling MR Blues and either 2 Att Dmg Q's and 1 Flat Hp Q or 3 Att speed Q's.

The reason why I don't like the doran item is the life steal feels like it doesn't heal anything even with the mastery I think I heal for like 5hp per auto which seems alot but I also thought that you should only last hit the minions so the constant AA is kinda...... yeah. Also buying an item that doesn't combine into anything and literally takes all your starting gold with only $50 left for 1 stank biscuit feels bad.

What am I supposed to do if I get zoned off the cs and the enemy bot lane are freezing the farm but I only have 1 nerfed biscuit to heal up.

What are the pros and cons of starting this as ADC 9 att dmg Red 9 Flat armor yellows 9 scaling MR 1 Flat HP Q 2 att dmg Q's and a item 1036 and 3x item 2009

Thank you and Have a Good One

Try playing a game where you start longsword, you'll realize pretty quickly why you should start doran's. the 80 health and sustain you get from it outweighs the healing from 2 extra pots.

Yeah I just thought having the extra 2-3 dmg for longsword was better. Also I'm not the best AA adc I use my abilities more so than I should but when the enemy team gets a double kill to start off around the 7-10 min mark I go super aggressive with Abilities and I lose mana fast. So I figured the extra Hp/Biscuits would help with the mana issues.

Hi there, I main both JG and ADC, but when I play ADC I've usually needed to know how to freeze as Jhin is immobile. The main reason you can't feel the lifesteal of Dorans blade is because youre lifesteal is only at about 5% or so (correct me if im wrong) and your AD is still low as well. I feel that the best part of the Dorans blade is the extra HP it gives. The pros of Dorans are the lifesteal and the extra HP. The cons aren't really too high because Starting a Long sword as an ADC is really risky. This goes double if youre playing solo and your supp isn't on their game. What you could do to accustom yourself to a dorans start is use warlords bloodlust. Even when you get zoned, you're early lifesteal when on low HP will skyrocket. This can mitigate being pushed in or being forced to freeze. However, if you feel comfy starting a long sword, do it. Do what you feel is the the best method of winning.

Yeah just figured that the longsword method as its cheaper and builds into an item instead of building into nothing as D-Blade does.

I figured if I get Long sword and 3 biscuits I could go super aggressive early and use my abilities with no hesitation as I have them for hp and mana.

The 80 Hp is good no complaining about that ;].

Thank you for helping and commenting helps me out
