Mage replacing adc's

G2 HandiCAPS·Jan 5, 2017·1 votes·3,288 views

Which mages do u think is the best to replace adc? and be played in bot. And there might even be bot that would work very well, since we just had mage supports that works very well, and now mages MIGHT replace adc in many games, now who counters mages? people are always trying new things to look at different perspectives, trying to come up new playstyles and builds, counterplay does matter, now if everyone is gonna play bot, maybe with a or or support, might be even a better option now than ever before, now im just a silver so what do I know..

Edit: Yeah I totally forgot about how fast Ziggs pushes towers, so sorry about that, my bad...

This seems to be another one of those examples of people not really understand why something works, and just following it blindly. Ziggs bot doesn't work simply because he's a mage. It works because he's very very good at sieging towers. He always has been, it's just the weakness of bot tower that brought him into the bot lane recently. Just because Ziggs is going bot, doesn't mean any mage can go there and do just as well. ADCs, regardless of what the boards try to say, are still better at sieging than most champions, and still work well bot.

exactly this.

in addition to Zigg's prowess at tower seiging he is also taken bot as his wave clear can easily keep a dive off of them, i had someone dive my bot zings (me) a few games ago i W, R, W, E, Q and 3 died almost instantly, they never came bot again

i mean anything can work if your good enough i forgot the guys name but an ADC Ahri main was top 10 in challenger last season as an example.

the main thing is people don't know how to fight against X lane so if again you good enough you can take that advantage and destroy them

ye ur right, forgot about the pushing power, its just that mages overall in my opinion, atleast in low elo works well, most low elo players dont know how to handle situations that are off-meta, I tried Xerath and Lux, it worked surprisingly good, ofc i wouldnt try it in ranked, then I tried Sion, Lux, it worked OK, Sion Bard, easy win, almost everytime I try something new it works, hell even Teemo jungle did work easily, I might be wrong again, but perhaps everything just works good enough in the elo im playing in...

Ziggs is the only one that can take a tower by 5 min

Ziggs is the best at it, but I'd go as far and say that Azir can have a real chance as well. His own zone control paired with a support is so immensely good that the enemy ADC will be having a hard time farming.

I Have tried so many things in botlane with and without my premade friend, these things have worked: Teemo supp, Vlad supp, Vel'Koz supp, Xerath supp to apc Lux, Tank Ashe with Frozen mallet and Rylais rest pure tankiness, Lee supp, tank lux, these are just a few, could imagine Taliyah working pretty well because of her zoning too...

Full ap Teemo supp with ignite is broken, rush into the middle of the lane, just past the point where the first round of minions meets, then wait for them to push a little, and start attacking adc, he is less than half hp before they can even start trading.
