I main mid.
And yes, good ADCs will melt tanks that fast on equal gold status unless the tanks use their "tank steroid". For Maokai is his ult, for Nasus as I keep repeating is his ATK SPEED SLOW debuff.
It doesn't take half the team to kill Fiora, it just takes a support/mid/top/jungle that can peal, an adc and 3 seconds.
For example, if you play Poppy, if you see Fiora going towards your carry, just go near your ADC, do your shield and watch Fiora die. As simple as that.
ADCs do the biggest DPS. The downside of this is that they will die easy.
Hence why, unless you are a good ADC player, you will stay stuff like:
omg tank fiora does same damage as an assassin
omg tanks are op, they build tanky and still kill me
omg fighters are op, they build damage and also defense and they still kill me
omg omg, sona is op her Q aa does 30% of my hp as damage, omg so op
Again, for ADCs positioning is crucial, and second thing is being able to switch targets. Not all players are able to do that.
For example, me. How I play ADC in S4 and S5:
Pick
or
, group with team, press R+Q and hope its enough.
Right now I do that with
. Group and press R. That's not good ADC player, even if you get kills, that's average/bad adc.
I've seen great adcs mains both in silver and gold. I've seen them hard carrying games. Their mechanics and positioning was really impressive. I usually was "omg, this guy" or "omg this girl" they are so much better than me. Oh right, I'm plat 4 (was, in s5 euw).
But why these ADCs were not able to get out of silver/gold despite being so good?
-their overall game decisions on macro level were generally bad
-a lot of the times, their teams fail to peal for them
Who are my best win rate mid laners?
Malzahar and Lulu. Why?
Because with both of them, I take notice of whom is the feed/good/strong player in my team and PEAL for them. Protect them.
If a Fiora jumps on my ADC and I'm Malzahar. She's suppressed under Null Zone and she dies, in 2 seconds. No, not thx to Malzahar's damage, but thx to that ADC auto attacking without a worry.
Look, an Assassin or a Fighter or a Tank.
Their roles would be.
Assassin: assassinate targets which can overall deal the most damage in the enemy team (which generally is an ADC or mid laner). In addition to this, flanking and bypassing enemy's defense lines.
Fighter: quickly follow up on your team's engage (also called secondary engage). Or simply flanking and bypassing enemy's defense lines.
Tanks: engage fights and jump on the enemy carry.
All of these want to jump and mostly kill the enemy carry.
That's why, pealing. Someone to protect your carry is very important. Fiora on her own might be able to 1v1 a random ADC player with zero protection as full tank if she can parry usual ADC peal. For example, Tristana ultimate, Vayne condemn, Draven's axe thing. Since Fiora can't parry during Q animation, it takes outplaying for a Fiora to be able to 1v1 an adc as tank build.
Yes, its possible. Its always possible for anyone to 1v1 anyone by outplaying.
Most adc love Vayne. Guess why?
She has a lot of self peal. Just like Tristana or Lucian to some degree.
