It feels so bad to build armor and still get melted by ADCs.

What a shitpost. Literally:

Udyr 1/5/1 with item 3706 item 3077 item 3082 item 1011 item 3047

Against

RekSai 8/1/8

And

Xayah 9/1/10

What a fucking joke. "Hurr durr I built armor though" you gotta be kidding me. Rek and Xayah have 23k gold between the two of them. You have 6k. But hey, better make another garbage ADC qq post because buying 2000g of armor isn't enough to stop a 9/1/10 carry. It makes sense if you don't think about it lol

so they started the game with a gold lead ? tell me how they got that lead ? did I not have randuins first and still got shit on with a bf sword xayah ? people like you only look the stats after the game and talk shit. Use your brain a little.

"A bit of a gold lead".

At game end, you didn't even have a single completed item. Both enemy AD's were sitting on 2.5 items.

Expecting to be able to fight them at that point is just absurd.

And people like you always blame someone else, patch, Riot or broken champ. It was you and your team who fed them. Don't blame others. Blame yourself and improve.

Armor reduces damage. It doesn't completely nullify it. If you have 3 AD champs wailing on you with 10k in items a piece, buying 2k worth of armor isn't going to stop you from taking a ton of damage. That doesn't make sense nor should it. Building armor is effective against AD damage. That doesn't mean it makes you a God

You dismiss opinions based on someone's potential bias. Bias gives context for an opinion; it does not disprove an opinion nor invalidate it.

Worst part about ADC's right now is that they have a fucking support with insanely good items for them when an ADC can already 1 v 1 ANY character in the game when they get 3 items & also the FACT they can wreck havoc upon TANKS & Squishies & Bruisers WITHOUT EFFORT.

What makes this even worse is that some ADC's are already extremely difficult to get into range with them to land abilities because of their built in PEEL in their KIT for example: Vayne & Tristana.

Excluding the ADCs that previously abused Lethality at great length.

#Nuff said.

Really? ADCs can 1v1 anyone? You sure about that?

Okay. Ignoring situations where the ADC is absurdly fed, seriously outplays their opponent, or their opponent is really behind/stupid (such as engaging at low health), tell me which ADC is going to 1v1 a non-supportEnchanter?

ProfDrDeath6 votes

Vayne - but that's what she's supposed to do.

Quinn - but she is not a pure ADC.

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

Vayne only really wins 1v1s if she's against a tank/juggernaut late enough in the game, or she stuns with her E.

Quinn...nobody's counted her as an ADC for as long as I can remember. She's basically an assassin. Just one with range. But range that's basically only actually used in laning phase.

Vayne

DuskDaUmbreon2 votes

Vayne honestly will only win a 1v1 against a squishy if she stuns with her E. Against a tank...it depends on the stage of the game. Against a juggernaut, it depends on which juggernaut. Darius she should stomp fairly easy, as long as he isn't able to keep Phage's passive up, and she keeps range up. Nasus should curbstomp her, as long as he lands a W. Garen needs to come out of fog of war/a bush, or needs to be beefy enough to close. Urgot...Not sure how that matchup would go, honestly. As soon as any juggernaut closes, though, Vayne's a corpse. If a tank is able to stun, Vayne's likely to lose before 3 or 4 items. If Vayne doesn't stun, any squishy will kill her quickly.

Lol since when do ADCs win 1v1s versus everything?

Scary Door7 votes

"Guys, I fed 5 kills BUT I bought an armor item, so I expect to be invincible!"

The only thing worse than the ADC mains are the people that take the pendulum all-the-way to the other side and expect tanks to be able to withstand 40 auto-attacks and outtrade everyone 1v5.

DuskDaUmbreon4 votes

Armor on squishies is typically gotten against burst, not DPS.

3 AD? With 3 (likely glass cannon) AD hitting you and only a single armor item on you, you'd best expect to take a fuckton of damage.

Not long but considering I had a level advantage and also abyssal for extra health I expected a hell of a lot more than I got.

Disembark2 votes

I’m guessing you bought that late game (as 4th+ item).

That’s when people have their LW completed - which lowers the effectiveness of FH immensely - and just health is often more important than armour.

No. I was ahead so I got the frozen heart after the Abyssal and Seraphs if memory serves.

How much armor did you build? what champ did you play? Did enemy adc build armor pen? Did enemy adc reach his damage spike? Just because you built armor doesnt mean you auto win

Can you give context or you just enjoy shitposting everytime you lose a game to vent out your frustaration? Either way, it's gonna be okay.. we're here for you.

EDIT: never mind, someone posted your match stat, you deserved to lose that lol..

Audacity To Tìlt1 votes

Builds are obviously situational (generally speaking), but assuming you're playing udyr given your id and icon- damage will consistently outscale tank items.

This means that either you provide enough support to your carries, and protect them so they kill the enemy carries, cc or simply kill the enemy carries which effectively helps your carries, or you die.

This is the fundamental of every fight and game. You're rather delusional if you think that you can just magically live by buying tank items while playing poorly.

Jinx Hunter1 votes

This why I only buy one armor item besides item 3047 and then stack HP and damage when I playXinZhao . Amor in bulk is worthless unless you have like 300+ and getting that much as a non tank will fuck your damage as a bruiser or diver.
