You are a fed adc, enemy assassin is equally fed. What to do?

DarkHeadgear·Aug 6, 2016·2 votes·1,043 views

Okay, let me play out this scenario for you and you decide what to do because I'm not sure if I could have handled this differently but I'm sure there's always a better way to do things.

You are , 7/0/0. Enemy is 7/0/0 Your team mid is "feeding" and Zed is roaming about, however not a threat to bot lane. You get your tower, and team fights break out.

Here is where you decide what I should have done; What I should have done.

In reality, I was behind 2 teammates when the fight broke out and Zed used his ultimate on me and without flash or heal, I died very quickly and since I died my whole team died and this was the point where we started to lose and they snowballed us hard because I couldn't avoid dying to Zed.

What would you have done better than I did?

Have you ever thought that, maybe, i don't know, Zed picked after Ashe. Woah, i know it sounds crazy but it COULD happen.

i did which brings us to tip number 2-3. thus why i put em up

True. But ADC's need more counter play to assassins anyways. I've really only seen Steraks work well on Vayne, and GA has a huge CD.

no they don't the adc counterplay to assasins is to dodge the main spell and then kill them cause the average assasin gets 4 hitted by any adc. if the enemy has POINT AND CLICK burst then GA/Steraks is your solution i even buy deadmans on some adc's even tho the passive goes wasted the stats help me live. IF an assasin cant kill the adc then why have assasins in the game in the 1st place. ik i prefer a 7-0 zed instead of a 2-0 maokai focusing me

Assassins are not meant to kill just the ADC. They are meant to kill 1 person (though some are an exception to this rule cough Katarina cough Also, its hard to dodge the main spell without flash/a movement ability. Like i said however, item 3053 , while being powerful, doesn't work all the time, kindof like item 3156 . When i said ADC's need more counterplay against an assassin, i should have said they need to revert the QSS nerfs ( Zed Fizz )

If you blind pick Ashe you have to assume that the enemy mid picks an assassin. If you take the risk, you have to live with the consequences or dodge the game.

Well if you pick any powerful ADC you have to assume the enemy is going to play an Assassin. Unless its Vayne . But also, if you pick anyone in bronze/silver/gold you have to assume the enemy is going to play an assassin because assassins can face roll and are easy (with a few exceptions, of course.)

Unfortunately, the only thing to do at that point is to build GA fast and trust your support. If your ult is up, remember that Zed's ult puts him in a very predictable place every time: directly behind you, which is where you should aim your ult. Time it right and he'll be stunned for a brief moment, at which point your support SHOULD be able to handle the rest of the peeling. Sidestep his Q if you can, as that's where a lot of his damage will come from. Certain supports have a very easy time dealing with assassins: Tahm Kench and Zilean are two of the best, followed by Lulu, Janna, Thresh, or a good Nami. If you're duo, try to have one of these as your bot lane partner.
