This game needs more mobile AD bruisers

RainXBlade·Jan 4, 2017·1 votes·616 views

With the release of the ff:

Nigh-infinite dash
Double Crit Chance
Can build tank/bruiser items after finishing / and
Traps enemy champions with ult
True damage on Q
Good sustain with W
"Conditional" shield on passive
Can hook to walls then jump unto someone
3 Part Q that can deal a lot of damage and hop over walls.
A stun
Shield + Dash on E
Can execute people with ult
Really snowbally
Yeah, you guys already know what's wrong with her so I'm not gonna talk about her.

Yup, this concludes that this game needs more mobile AD bruisers to turn the ADC role into the target dummy role for specific purposes and make the game more balanced than it is already.

Yasuo and Riven aren't bruisers though.

Technically, you can't build glass cannon on them. But you know, just build 2-3 damage items then the rest can be defensive. There, I just told you how to balance champs like those 2.

Highest win rate Riven build Plat+ item 3071 item 3158 item 3074 item 3072 item 3026 item 3053

Highest win rate Yasuo build in Plat+ item 3046 item 3006 item 3031 item 3072 item 3022 item 3026

Lotta damage, some health, and a GA.

I'm not saying it's the ONLY way to build them. You need to be flexible and build based on the situation you're facing. These just happen to be the ones that have the highest overall win rate.

Or maybe say, "screw statistics", and do whatever you feel like. That works too. I'm in no position to say anything on the matter.

Who gives a shit about statistics anyway. Statistics aren't always accurate and in a game like League, you can build whatever you want and win anyways, guaranteed you turn the enemy's ADC into your sack of gold for your items.

I've spend more time looking at statistics than actually playing the game.

I don't know anyone who is actually good at the game (like, Diamond levels of good), anytime I ask for help or advice on the League boards the only people who respond are silver or bronze, and I'm not willing to pay for someone to help me learn item builds. I don't have too many places to turn to. Builds on sites like Mobafire or LolKing are usually too linear or poorly explained to be helpful, or the builds are extremely out of date.

I'm also recovering from carpal tunnel, so I can't exactly learn it first-hand. I'm stuck watching diamond/challenger videos and looking at statistic sites.

Why the fk would you build item 3053 on Riven, she scales horribly with health and has low base damage, you only get 27 bonus AD from that item.

EDIT: Apparently Sterak's is really good on Riven, if this is to be believed. http://www.op.gg/champion/riven/statistics/top
