Basic Attacks do the most damage in the game

Basic attacks are what do the most damage in the game without competition. I think its fine that build for basic attack damage exsists champs like jax are built around it. What I don't like is playing a game where fed APs combos do less damage then the unfed totally normal adcs that do my damage faster and their entire gameplay was that they right clicked on me... Point and Click burst combos are always being complained about but champs like akali are not more of a problem than the fact that adcs have more damage, less risk, and less skill and it happens faster..... like why do we reward the right click SOOO much???

AP Burst --> instantaneous AD Basics --> Take time.

AD Basics are easier to stop with cc than an instant burst. Basics are prone to on-hit effects (randuin's omen, thormail, etc).

You will also notice there is a large disparity between a level 3 ap carry and an ad carry in damage. AP carries definitely outdamage early game (typically - im sure you can come up with examples where that is not the case. Nothing is ever definite, but I am speaking broadly currently).

Also, no matter how fed you are, eventually everyone catches up and becomes full build. You have to learn how to take advantage of being fed and the end the game BEFORE the adc becomes strong enough to win fights for their team. I would suggest trying to finish out a game before 35 minutes if you think you will lose once the adc becomes full build.

If you're a fed ap and the enemy adc is struggling, not ending the game sooner is really your teams fault. No one takes advantage of momentum and early leads in this game....

OMG Y da ADC du mur damage dan muh AP combo!!?!

Well let's see, let's say you're full AP Velkoz.

You get a 70% slow with the potential to hit up to three targets An AOE knockup An AOE nuke A huge AOE continuous damage ult with another slow

Everything you do has potential to affect up to 5 people and every move has utility out the ass. Meanwhile, Kog'maw gets:

An AOE slow Single target armor shred Long ranged reveal

Seems Velkoz wins the ol' utility race. If Koggles didn't do more damage than Vel on a single target id be hard pressed to find a reason to take him.

You want fast burst? Pick a fast burst champion. Bet you a dollar I can deal damage faster than Kog'maw as Fizz.

Just played a game where a jinx did over 1000 damage in three AA and the fed as shit vlad only did 1500 in our entire fight with his combo. Jinx won the fight is 2 sec vlad took like a full 10.... thats stupid.

because early game autos are weak...they scale hard, thats all. Meanwhile, APCs can do a full combo, zhonya, and then do a basic combo again. Bam, freelo.

Did you seriously just try to argue that adc's take less skill than akali? AKALI? Rofl, you made my day.

you're just straight-up wrong. autos do not deal more burst damage than spells unless there is a massive gold discrepancy in the late game.
