low elo ADC's . consider building tank vs dive teams

diamond 2 adc here i usually always build my ADC's half tank in this meta because every enemy team seems to have some combination of zed leona etc

if the enemy support is a leona, i will usually make my first items cowl + ruby crystal + cloth armor to survive the all in burst

if the entire enemys plan is to jump and kill you. may as well build tank so you survive their assassination and still output damage

sure ill build heavy damage ADC against the right team. but considering everyone is trying to pick backline dive to kill squishy ADC's, almost every game im going tank on myADC's now

its not even a problem with the game. some champions are build for diving. and if everyone is picking dive champions, you simply counter it by building tanky. its not a problem with the game, its a good thing about the game that you can build to counter your enemies

let me show you my favorite tank ashe build currently that i think is pretty strong

40% cdr tanky ashe that cant die and still throws out a nonstop storm of arrows

scaling damage reds scaling armor/hp yellows 30% cdr blues quints

18/12/0 - fervor of battle for sure. warlords is only good on full dmg builds since it scales with dmg. fervor of battle is like 4000g of gold for your AD's, while warlords is 800g of lifesteal when your about to die

ninja tabi / mercs (depends if vs lots of cc / ap / ad) muramana mortal reminder zzrot

for rest of items you look at the enemy team and ask yourself "whats the most kind of damage ill be taking in teamfights" does enemy have malphite / fizz ? are you taking large amounts of magic damage and almost no AD damage?

then go visage / maw last items

or does enemy have zed / wukong and your taking almost all physical damage?

then go deadmans randuins last items

or is enemy team mix of magic/AD damage to you?

then go visage / deadmans last items

and if enemy team is almost all AD and no AP, then drop your zzrot for a visage/deadmans/deaths dance combo

with my tank builds i normally always like to start longsword + 3 potions . because i find you max out your item slots so fast with small tank items to survive burst that the dorans loses value quickly

my plan in lane is normally "first you build enough tank to survive the burst. against a leona the strongest burst champ that is usually ~2000 gold of tank items first. and after that get a tear and start finishing the build as the game goes on"

i usually try to get zzrot after tear (making my 2000g of tank items the zzrot items) since zzrot applies lots of pressure
