Ima be brutally honest. The higher elo you climb the more shit you realize.

for instance i thought MissFortune Caitlyn and Ezreal were stupid fucking busted beyond belief retarded champions.

That was when i was in bronze-silver

Once you hit plat+ you start realizing Sivir is extremely busted in the point that she does not let you siege towers. One W and you have no minions.

Ashe Once properly used her utility triumphs most adcs and that Q damage + speed proc is all she needs

Jinx is one busted fuckin hyper carry. 2.4 attack speed + bloodthirster = not able to kill unless bursted in a 1 second time frame because she'll lifesteal too much

Tl;dr the champions i used to think were busted, and the champs i thought are weak, is the complete opposite now.

MF having only an armor pen build pattern will punish her in terms of actually being an adc just by having bad damage overall without her ult. Caitlyns great for sieging but she completely lacks in most areas that other adcs have ( and her playrate and winrate steadily dropping is showing this ) and ezreal lacks damage to kill tanks and is completely single dps. Way more manageable now when i think about it.

So yeah. not really a rant thread but just a thought i had.

Caitlyn is good in high elo because she has peel. Idk what this guy is talking about being good in low elo. Ive been smurfing in silver. After 45 games of ADC or so, Ive seen 2 good supports. Infact the two best supports were bronze IV.

Why were they the best?

They took Soraka and just healed me or sona, and healed and poked.

So many of these supports in low elo take Thresh Blitzcrank and cant land a hook for shit.

then they have no idea how to peel even though these two champions are great for peel. Infact thresh was recalling at full health and mana after we aced the bot lane, top lane had no TP, jungler was also dead, and midlane was farming. instead of helping me push towers.

Jhin ulted at me infront of threshes face and she didnt use her Q or her E to stop the Jhin ult.

Back to what I said, ADCS will all work if they have a good support.

Heres a game where our ADC was plat V, the support was AP miss fortune (shit go figure), And even though I made sure all lanes were 4-5 kills behind they won. http://imgur.com/cFhKpWB

I think support is everything to an ADC

No. Cait gets fucked by Rek'sais and Fizz jungles high elo. She is literally useless there.

53% win-rate with a 15% Play-rate in plat+ is bad? Ok.

She is just not balls-to-the-walls broken like Jihn and Ashe.

the better you get the more mechanial mistakes you see, i see it all the time and i try to be casual about it and nice, but people just dont like to be told they are wrong at anything, they all think they are the best stuff to ever drop onto summoners rift.

There's a reason almost all the Yasuo QQ comes from low elo.

explain what do you mean by

"Caitlyns great for sieging but she completely lacks in most areas that other adcs have ( and her playrate and winrate steadily dropping is showing this )"

she doesn't lack dps or range. shes one of the safer adcs. with runnans her dps is very high.

Her mid game is actually really bad. Almost every adc ( of course except varus ) out damages her. Shes not really the best against tanks. Shes a good safe pick but if you want raw damage caits not really the champ for it. Her lane phase got weaker ever since level 6 all in champs became more meta ( ashe and sona )

Yeah Sivir gets a huge CS advantage because she just forces her opponent to last hit under tower basically all lane phase lol

Armor pen is more of an early/mid powerspike item, and people nowadays love to blindly rush that without realizing that build doesn't really give them much late game relevance.

Also Caitlyn isn't at all bad in the right hands and the right supports, like many of the underrated ADCs out there. Though for sure, yes, she's not that oppressive like how others see it.
