Ranged ADC shouldn't be able to go full AP

Bultz··1 votes·1,219 views

I can understand an item or two, but full ap is not okay. It's part of the reason Kai'sa's win rate is so high. Idk why people think the damage levels of mages on adc is healthy, but it's not. I get riot wants to mix and match champion types, but burst damage with adc speed is plenty toxic.

Wait, hold up. Ezreal and Miss Fortune have been able to go full ap for a while now but suddenly now it is a problem ? Note that im not disputing her winrate but i like having adcs being able to go AP and vise versa.

Then again, unlike Ez a lot of Kai'Sa's damage ends up being physical and is hard to itemise against (a lot like MF). On the other hand, not having every ADC be a physical damage dealing, crit scaler isn't a bad thing either.

Lucian is honestly loads of fun with item 3115 item 3020 and item 3285

Problem isnt building full AP because thats burst and on an adc they wont have anything right after. The problem is the on-hit shit you get from Guinsoos and Nashors are excessive

Kai'Sa is simply an overtuned hybrid. Means she can go AP or AD. The problem isn't her being able to go AP.

why go full ap as adc? mages that scale ap actually do more damage full AD .o. (confirmed by post game graphs) are you telling me adc are better mages and mages are better adc O.o??????

It's called a Hybrid Marksman.

It's the same as saying that Fighters shouldn't go AP (Jax), he's a hybrid fighter.

If she goes full AP she won't be doing much physical damage, which isn't really a problem. A magic damage botlaner isn't a problem. Kai'sa right now is strong because her numbers are too high and she builds hybrid, not full AP, and does mixed damage which is very hard to itemize against.

That isn't who we're talking about, but even Corki does 80% magic. Still easy to itemize against. His autos are converted to magic damage so that doesn't break my paradigm.

Kaisa is still in a trash tier state and is in need of some buffs to be made viable.

She is as bad as current Ornn and release day Ornn.
