Dear fellow ADC players:

Please stop whining about that enemy AD assassin. We know he deals a lot of damage. But we also know he stacks flat armor penetration and you've not build a single armor item.

What? Armor is for tanks and you need to deal damage?

Now, I wonder if there was just one item that had armor and something to help with your basic attacks...

I really wonder if such an item really exists...

No really, that would AMAZING ya know?

And what if that item even had it's for you useless AP removed and it's other stats buffed at the same time? Would be awesome, no?

Not to mention that it gives sheen based champs a kite power of over 9000...

So stop whining and gear up if you see an enemy Zed or Talon or Lee or generally whatever AD jumps at you...

If the enemy Zed is killing you in one shot it doesn't matter what the rest of your items are. If you are dead you deal no damage, simple as that.

Here a build that might work: item 3006 item 3031 item 3508 item 3025 item 3153 or item 3072 And a last item depending on how the game goes. Need more crit? Get Firecannon or stattics. Need Armor Pen? Get a LW item. Need MR in case of Akali? get mercurial. Simple as that.

item 3140 removes zed ult, if you die before then, perhaps you are lacking armor runes or he is extremely strong, therefore item 3083 item 3026 would work better

Or buy the defensive kite item that's actually an ADC item.... item 3022

Iceborn Gauntlet isn't meant for ADC's. There's a reason the slow size scales with armor: it's an item for melee tanks and off-tanks to deal damage and stick on their targets. ADC's are supposed to stay as far away as possible while dealing high DPS, and IG cuts too far into their gold, and if your ADC buys it, it delays and mitigates their powerspikes and therefore weakening your team.

I'd rather buy item 3047 . But most likely I'd buy item 1031 and later make a item 3026

Um, well, I usually play an adc with some form of dash to get away, i mean, if you have a decent support and decent reaction they'll only take about half your health while being planted in the middle of your team, their job is to kill the carries, oh and also iceborn really sucks.. :/ like.. That slow is useless, if you want kite, get frozen mallet with the boot enchant thingy. But usually if someone can gapclose on you really quick frozen mallet cant do much, but i guess it helps
