An Enlightening Thread on ADC Itemization and the Current Meta
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING THREAD IS A MEME AND MAY CAUSE LOSS OF IQ. IT'S ONLY IN GAMEPLAY BECAUSE RITO FORCED ME TOO.
Now we all know that ADCs (mainly
,
,
,
, and
) are OP as fuck right now and are in desperate need of gutting to never be seen in the botlane ever again, but what is the most effective ADC itemization for these ADCs that mainly build 3 crit items?
Let's first take a look at the stats that
provide.
- 65 AD
- 80% Crit
- 70% Atk Spd
- 12% MS
Now if we were to run multiple simulations of 100 auto attacks, we would expect 80% of those auto attacks to crit (slightly more due to how crit is calculated in league). BUT because chance, probability, and other mathematical terms only 69% of those 100 auto attacks crit. So with this data, the damage of 10 autos with these items is 1322.75 as calculated with 6.9 of the 10 autos critting and including the IE +50% dmg passive.
The dps of itemzation maxes out at 69% crit chance so these OP ADCs have an excess of 11% Crit chance which can be converted into other stats. So rather than 3 crit items how about 2 + another atk spd item?

+90 AD +50% Crit +80% Atks Spd +7% MS +10% Lifesteal
Now let's run a simulation of 10 autos with these items including the IE Passive and the damage is 1575. Additionally, these two crit + 1 atk spd item gives an extra 10% atk spd which means they are hitting harder and faster than the regular 3 crit item build. However, there is a 19% difference in the maximum crit dps stat that we calculated earlier. How do we go about fixing that?
The answer lies in the pages of your rune book. With 3 Crit Quintessences (1.86% crit chance each) 9 Crit Marks (.93% crit chance each) 9 Crit Seals (.42% crit chance each) and 5 Crit Glyphs (.28% crit chance each) you will get 19.13% crit chance which essentially maximized your dps.
Now you might be thinking to yourself "But Toast! this is all just theoretical! does this work in practice???"
Now that my friend is a good question. And the answer is idk cus I can't afford crit runes since they are too expensive so I'm hoping rito can endorse my work and give me the IP to Simulate these Hazardous but Inlightening Testsor to SHIT for short.
TL;DR: LOWER THE PRICE OF RUNES SO I CAN WIN IN RANKED AS AN ADC
