melee carries don't do nearly as much as ranged ones

Mens Hair Club·Aug 28, 2017·4 votes·308 views

not as much safety (obvious) not nearly as much objective control no way to siege towers with the way riot's set up the game generally have worse utility, for some reason ranged ADs (and obviously APCs) are deceptively valuable in utility lately while it's very sparingly put on melee carries - this one's important, prob biggest reason why so many melee carries flop in league's CC-oversaturated meta only deals comparable damage to current top tier ADCs, sometimes less

not to mention whenever they're good the community riots -- probably the biggest reason tbh, for some reason there isn't a single melee carry that's not despised when strong so they usually don't stay strong for long

we must come together and demand justice for melee carry lords, they are just as valid as any carry ;(

melee carries have better defensive options than ranged ones

they have most of the same items available to them unless you mean the actual tank items

and ranged champs can still buy that, they just don't NEED to because they can hit you from behind their team

Are you actually level 8 or is this not your main account. Because there is no way someone could actually make comments about the overall meta with the knowledge of a level 8. Also, bladerunner is right. All the champions you listed there as melee carries have many more defensive tools than an immobile twitch or kogmaw. And just so youre aware, if master yi got on top of either of those champions he would obliterate them.

i learned the game pretty quickly

and those melees need defensive options to even be remotely relevant in the meta. and, shockingly, they still don't matter at all

if master yi got on top of either of those champions he would obliterate them.

in an isolated 1v1, sure

Something tells me you dont understand the game very well if you are actually comparing kogmaw's damage to darius'

Mens Hair ClubAug 28, 20172 votes

one can do massive damage with the press of a button from 700 range, the other has to work up to his damage and will do considerably less unless you play like an ape?

Do you even understand how darius' ultimate works???? Darius also has at least twice kogmaws hp + resists, and an ability that gives him a massive portion of health back. Darius also has a pull and a slow.

If you want to play glass cannon champions then just pick a glass cannon champion, dont argue that some other champion should just have a bunch of extra damage added to their kit for the sole reason that they are melee...

darius will still deal less damage than a kogmaw unless you play bad. objectively true; kog'maw doesn't have to be good to rightclick and shit on your health bar from afar

Darius has more hp and armor than kog because he builds it. base stats aren't that extremely different lol, also meta kogmaw build is frozen mallet with defensive items like maw and tabi so it's really not that different even considering items

That is not a meta kogmaw build at all. If you consider meta by what you got shat on by a smurf leveling their account to 30 then there is no hope for you. Im done arguing with you, you clearly have a very low level of understanding of the game. My only suggestion for you is you focus on learning the game and educating yourself via high elo streamers and youtubers, because you have a very warped understanding of the game, and you WILL be stuck in bronze if you cling on to these values and hold them as true. If you dont I guarantee the boards will see you back here in 5 months complaining about how it is impossible to get out of bronze. Dont think im focusing you out there, there are millions of people in that scenario, Im just trying to help you not be one of them.

The lies people will tell from the safety of anonymity. Nobody gets anywhere besides bronze with your mindset or logic.
