Which ADC is most similar to an assassin?

ìTrash·Aug 13, 2017·2 votes·3,201 views

I main mid lane Katarina , Talon , Yasuo , Akali

I was thinking on learning a different lane and learn ADC. Which ADC will be the easiest to learn judging by my play style? I like assassins because of they way the burst down people really fast. I used to main Annie , so playing ranged champions should not be a problem. My thoughts were on Draven , is he a good ADC? High ban/pick rate? Vayne seems to be picked or often banned. I was also thinking of Twitch , but he seems to be hard to play. I want a ADC champion that can carry in solo/duo queue, I'm also willingly to put some time to master this champion.

Thanks :)

Quinn

The mechanics and positioning, role in fight are entirely different. You have to play adc like an adc lol thats really the only way I can explain it..

Also Tristana can be ery assasin-like in certain plays.. As well as corki..

It honestly depends on the elo more than the "Meta" and what you are trying to do specially for your team

What are your thoughts on Draven ?

Twitch moves on the map like an assassin. Vayne dives in fights like an assassin (very low escape possibilities unless she kills the targets). Tristana cleans up fights/hunts the weak like an assassin. Draven isn't very assassin-like imo.

Would you recommend the OP to pick Quinn?

I would not, in the ADC role. I do enjoy playing her, and her mobility and quick combo is pretty assassin-like, but she excells at split-pushing/ganking and not so much the teamfighting that the ADC role normally contributes to the team.

I'M only wondering what your team will say if you pick Quinn.

Aurelion Soul NAAug 20, 20171 votes

Sivir is a must have.. Jhin is kinda awkward. He can be really useful against pokey squishy teams, and he is super dangerous in the hands of someone who has mastered him <as with any champion>.

U should at least get sivir and try her since she is cheap.

Twitch and Quinn come to mind.

Jhin. Although he assassinates people much differently than a melee champ does.

Linna ExcelAug 13, 20171 votes

Twitch is the most assassin like IMO because of his stealth and high damage potential. Vanye has both, but I feel she's more of a 1v1 duelist.

JhonTeemonAug 13, 20171 votes

Quinn, but do you really want to make your opponents life a living hell? Because she is very toxic.

That said, Twitch is probably a better choice in the meta

Twitch, Tristana, and maybe quinn (although quinn works best Top lane)

Also have you tried Diana? She's very strong in low elo right now, she's very similar to akali.

The only reason someone would pick quinn is to torment their laning opponent lol.

why is Quinn a pain to lane against?

Only in top lane, and it's because she completely fucks most melees.

Her kit is anti melee. But be aware, she falls off HARD late game and by going Quinn top you are preventing your team to pick up a tank. Quinn can probably carry in very low elo games but don't expect much from her in higher ranks. Tanks easily outscale lethality assassin's in the meta so quinn is only effective early game.
