I need help with AD

CitadelOfIce·Jan 5, 2016·1 votes·367 views

Okay I have been playing League for a few years now but I seem to be missing a vital aspect of the game. I just don't seem to get items. I know that there is interactions between them and some make very powerful combinations like and . But I just can wrap my head around the ADC items. I get that you stack Crit but on something like Kindred I have no clue what to get. I used to rock with Ashe but then the items got changed around and my build is lacking in raw damage. I just cant seem to find any good AD item combinations. Hell I cant find any good AD items they all give so little except for BF items. I still cant tell if BoRK is worth the money since it only gives 25 AD for 3400GP.

I get its more of an attack speed item but what the are you supposed to build with it? Its 3400GP and has a slow build path. Help me out here, AD makes no sense to me.

item 3508 item 3006 item 3094 item 3031 item 3072 item 3139 is a pretty common ADC build rite now.. you get attack speed, crit, lifesteal, and the QSS active.

Okay but how are those items working together? I get the crit and the item 3508 but is that it?

Essence reaver is 40% CDR with only an IE. If youre an ADC who likes to spam abilities, like graves or lucian or corki, essence reaver is your best friend.

30% cdr, not 40%.

item 3508 item 3094 is good on most caster ADCs if that makes sense. Its more or less the new bread and butter. Kind of like item 3031 item 3087 last season. You get 1 for the dmg, and the other gives you attack speed to help make that dmg go further. Aside from that you get the CDR buff with the 2 items so you will have 30% cdr as well as mana on crits. Also, most caster ADCs tend to have lower attack range, so the item 3094 can help make up for that, while also complimenting their burst with the energized attack.

Also, shiv got nerfed so thats another reason why its not favored right now, and most ppl who get ER have enough wave clear in their kit that they dont need the shyv splash.

item 3046 is getting buffed next patch, so there is a chance you will see that get used again. However item 3094 is probably going to stay as the best attack speed item to support most AD items for Marksmen.

As for item 3153 its pretty much been put to rest, not because its complete shit, but because there are simply better options. However i could see Vayne picking it back up again once PD makes a return.

On Tristana I usually get item 3031 item 3094 item 3087 item 3139 item 3072 with item 1301 thrown in of course.

don't bother with ADC, get tanks. Tanks roll over every non-tank and the non-tanks have no hope. Riot at this point has hopelessly fucked up the balance in favor of tanky champs. No one else can touch them.
