why do adcs have access to max ad items when they buy crit?

MunchCrunchLunch·Apr 10, 2016·2 votes·290 views

shouldn't their items have less ad since they mainly buy crit and attack speed. I mean half way through the game an adc auto does as much damage as an ad caster ability. doesn't sound logical to me. bt 75 ad. ie 65 ad. er 65 ad. I mean isn't range the element of advantage here. why should be be both damage and range. I know most ad carries have low base ad. but with ie and crit. they end up having more effective base ad in their autos. so thats a lost point

crit only does more dmg based off how much ad u have. if you crit with no ad u not gonna do any dmg

smart ADC dont stack AS they stack AD (since the name is ATTACK DAMAGE CARRY) the downside of the ADC is that they are too sqiusy and cant take too many hits which is why they have a support to heal/tank/etc. if you stack AS on an ADC, you are really missing out on the DMG output of the character (I did this before, I should know)

well its all situational and all but you need a balance of both as and damage. higher attack speed = more chance of putting out consistent damage

low attack speed but high damage = most damage per hit but less chance of putting consistent damage if you don't get to free auto.

i dont understand how its all related

i usually get 1 AS item a pair of boots, 3 AD items and Bloodthirster (massive healing through AD items) AS is usually the mid player job if they arent AP
