AD vs AP diversity

Valhalla Rising·Aug 22, 2015·1 votes·330 views

You are 10x more likely to need an Ap last pick than an Ad... how is that diverse?

Don't tell me, "oh if you are Ad heavy you can pick this MM or that support for supplemental magic".... this is about 100x easier said than done..

Everyone has experienced the ample stubborn people who play whatever they want even if it guaranties the enemy's will rush thornmails, hearts, omens, hourglasses...

Even if they tried, there is like no viable jungle mages, supports usually don't get nearly enough gold to be considered a carry, and marksmen like corki/kogmaw are still only dealing 50% magic

There should be more pure magic marksmen that do not require thousands of mana to sustain damage, and I have no idea how you can balance jungle mages but get that ish done..

Diana, Fiddlesticks and Nidalee are very competent AP jungle threats.

If you fail to buy MR vs them they will either destroy your carries or destroy your team.

I'm hearing that ap mages are not diverse, but ad's can fulfill almost any roll. With that said, everything else still follows (it's easy to counter an all ad team which is somewhat more common than an all ap team - supports are generally behind the scenes, etc)

I agree. Make AP ADC already. It's unfair to AD mids that they bring down their teams if picked without AP damage.

There's a huge issue with AP adc, and that's the fact that ADC's rose to power because of their ability to push down towers. Without AD you can't push towers efficiently, and this is why the role is called ADC and not just Carry. That said if there were a good way to solve that problem in a kit then you'll get your APC
