So what's the point of defensive items ? wasted slots ?

Ralanr2 votes

Deadman's is a wasteful item on an assassin generally. Plus ADC's DPS are stronger against armor since it's shredding.

They are to be built on the few tanks that are in the game.

The only real good one atm is Alistar

Buy a better defensive item, Randuin would have been a far better option in that case as it both slows AS along with providing health and armor, this one is on you.

K so basically "you bought 2 defensive items but that shouldn't make you tankier" ok then this meta is literally "blow your enemy up the fastest possible"

I'm saying that you can buy a better item to stay alive longer but chose one that itemizes poorly with the rest of your kit. What are you asking for here, and look at the flipside, if you could build tanky like that, but still do the damage of an assassin AND survive, don't you think people would complain that ADCs or damage is useless?

No, but at least survive for 5sec

So you should be able to build one subpar for your character armor item, and one good armor item, and be able to facetank a squishy who is building full damage and is ahead of you mind you while also being able to burst them...because you are an assassin so that is what you are gonna do, is that what you are saying?

"ahead" ? I was 14/12. I have 3 complete items, she has 2,5 items.

And she had two completed items, I ask again, is what you want for assassins to be able to facetank while bursting squishies?

So why are squishies able to facetank against ap champions when they get item 3812 or item 3156 or item 3046 when these are offensive items ?

In what world? If they are far ahead, yeah, they can facetank, if not, no AP champion is not going to pop them.

What squishy is going to facetank an AP champion dealing 150%+ of their max health with only 1 of 3 hybrid damage/survivability items?

Sure, Maw will do that in lane, but that's because you devoted your first item to surviving them. PD isn't letting you facetank, it's going to let you get away better and die slower from whatever hits you regardless. DD only delays the death, and gives you an opportunity to fight back and possibly survive.

No, but I do say that you SHOULD rush Zhonya vs AD champions as a mage especially if you are having trouble in the match up. Give me one good reason why a mage shouldn't and wouldn't buy Zhonya?

to a Xayah with 2 items and a half with no penetration

Ignoring the 468 dmg from Quinn and the 123 dmg from Lulu yes, it was the Xayah who deleted you.

Quinn damage were done earlier Lulu damage are from her shield I still had 2k hp

Atmosphere4 votes

The Death Recap right there says that Lulu and Quinn also assisted. Lulu shield and polymorph, plus Quinn and Xayah damage, what did you expect? You bit off more than you could chew and died. Nobody's fault but your own.

You are rengar that mean someone that doesnt scale of armor, that doesnt mean if you go full tank or offtank you will be able to tank an adc or an other assassin damage. Riot direction's towards tanks item in season 6 was clear. They nerfed the health and buffed the armor to make it so squishy cant become a real tank.

I bought 2 defensive items, and I shouldn't be blown up by a Xayah who flashed out of my AA range to 3 shot me

Yes

Madsin252 votes

You should have bought another offensive item and went for the one shots.

That is literally how you play this game. Incase you missed the last 6 months.

I love that if I had posted the same screenshot the other way around of a Rengar building item 3211 and me dealing absolutly no damage to him, everyone would have thought this is just normal "because he bought a defensive item"
