I'm 5-1-8 Cassiopeia and it doesn't matter

Because the enemy team has double ADC, either of which can kill me before my second E gets off.

This is really fucking stupid. It should at least be possible for AP carries to compete with ADC, instead of just automatically losing once they get a QSS or if they run Cleanse.

out of the damage you took in that game at total of 23.8k damage 15.9k of it was physical damage which accounts for 67% of the damage you took if you so great at this game why is your itemization horrible? hell a damn item 3157 would of at least reduce some of that damage and give you ap , cdr, and the active to survive longer so you could "carry" more , btw your Ezreal that game carried the damage 31.5 k vs your 24.3 damage dealt

You were slightly above average on Cass, while Kog and Vayne were both fed as fuck. What did you expect? They had 4k gold over you.

I think the op means is that as cass, even though they are doing well their team fed and therefore cant carry, which is actually somewhat true. Utility mages have a hard time carrying braindead players

Basically this. You can stomp as an AP carry and it doesn't matter because AD carries have much more impactful and shit on basically everything that can't one shot them.

As a caster, there's no way to itemize against an ADC, while ADCs can build QSS and auto-win.

Cass isn't a utility mage, lol.

How is she not? A DPS mage? That is just arguing over semantics and you know it [slayer-jinx-unamused] She provides, slows to enemies while also speeding herself up, also having sustained damage and burst, while also having an ult that stuns in a cone. You gonna say ori isnt utility either?

Because she is picked for her high damage in fights.

Having sustained damage and burst isn't utility, nor is speeding yourself up. The only utility Cass provides in her kit is her W and her ult. Cass is picked for her high DPS.

Compare her to Ori, an actual utility mage. Ori provides an AOE slow for the enemy and speed up for her team, bonus resistances to an ally, a shield, and an AOE displacement. She provides more than just some CC.

Really arguing over semantics I see

I used to be a Cass main, ADCs really aren't a problem for her. If you can land a W or Q just E a couple times and they can't do much against you because you get all your tankiness from item 3027 and item 3116 (Depending on the build, maybe item 3102 item 3040) If they can kill you that fast they built full damage and shouldn't have that much health. If it's someone like Ezreal or Vayne that can dash or something W them so they can't, then start your E spam.

If they have double ADC...Then they have no support protecting them?

Unless, you know, it's Kog'maw killing you from beyond E range, or Vayne tumbling into you as you throw W and then cleansing your ult

Your experiences are probably different because you're not Diamond and everyone you play against/with is bad

At all elos when you play cass you should never be that close that she can tumble once and do that to you. If she somehow does though, your Q grants movement speed. Use it. I've never played the cass/kogmaw matchup so idk much about that, but anyway I'm unranked so all my words mean nothing lol

Your team could have only been more stacked with just magic damage if your ADC was Corki.

One late game champion versus two (three counting Veigar but you didn't mention him) late game champions? The latter wins, especially since the rest of your team gets outscaled pretty hard. Vayne and Kog could stack MR easily and your front line was pretty shitty, so between said MR and the Soraka/Shen combo to keep their ADCs alive yeah, I'd definitely say it's very plausible you would lose this. Gragas isn't nearly tanky enough to survive Vayne and Kog'maw for long, and your team's lack of ability to engage on them or burst them down means that the two hypercarries killed you all. Your team comp wasn't very good, is what I'm saying.

Also apparently Kog'maw jungle is completely busted right now.

Also, consider a guardian angel on Cassiopiea. Voyboy seems to like getting it fairly early on, especially if he is ahead.

Gragas should of built item 3143 instead of item 3742 . and having multiple item 3110 is never a bad thing with two attack speed hyper carries. He would even benefit from the CD while having the armor (i dont think i've seen gragas have mana problems late)

regardless of what gragas built or didnt build it dont change the fact that the OP built zero def stats hell if he at least got a item 3075 he would have some armor and he can do more magic damage with his magic pen and ap

Find a Diamond+ APC who has ever built Thornmail. You won't because it's a terrible idea that would accomplish nothing other than wasting gold.

This is one of the stupidest posts I've ever read and a prime example of why we need rank restricted forums

It was an example of what you could of done to counter the situation. for all you know, building a thornmail could of let you live just long enough to kill them. Could of been a potential new meta-idea. However, it wasnt done and you lost as a result. Yes, building thornmail/randiun/frozen heart still could of resulted in a loss, but it could of also potentially helped [see schrodinger's cat]

The fact you are willing to complain on the forums about the situation but toss any possible ideas aside simply due to rank really dont make you any better than the mass majority of players. Yes, you have game experience and mechanical experience over us, but your ability to handle a situation after a bad game (for whatever reason) makes you SOUND like you're no better than me.

Like. we're honestly trying to mention things that could of been done in hindsight. but you're tossing them away simply due to "visual rank"

Beldair3 votes

And that is why we need intelligent restricted forums..

His point wasn't that you should've bought Thornmail but that you should've gotten some kind of armor to counter act all the ad damage you were taking...

Any smart player would've started buying to counter all the damage they took before mid game...

In fact, most players I duo with build to counter the enemy team while also trying to build up their damage.

you don't build thornmail man. You build 6 sunfires to survive

TTK Dreadnought1 votes

1 sunfire, 5 randiuns. at least randiun's -10% crit damage stacks where as immolate doesnt.

.75*.6 = .45 seconds between shots of E

It no longer makes any difference if they were poisoned or not.

AP carries should not be competing directly with AD carries outside of teamfights

AD carries should have the advantage against AP when there is no team to help

AP should win when there is a team present.
