is it against the rules to get 2 attackspeed items first as adc?

just played vayne and i bought rapidfire gun + phantomdancer first because the enemy team had 5 tanks and all just stacked hp so i thought i wont do much dmg with ad better get more ats for my w. but my support and top said that im trolling and that im breaking the rules because "ATTACK DAMAGE CARRIES NEED ATTACK DAMAGE!!!"

i then said my 3rd item will be botrk and they said "gg more attackspeed reported" is this really trolling?

lol u can build whatever you want

AS is also a lot more beneficial to Vayne than AD too XD

Also if the enemy team has 5 tanks you should get Blade of the Ruined King and Lord Dominik's or Executioner's later

It's not against any rules.

Not too long ago, the standard build for Vayne was Statikk Shiv into Rapidfire Cannon.

Vayne's ultimate gives her enough bonus AD to get through all-ins without building early AD.

Attacking fast is good.. but if you do no damage then it doesn't really matter how fast you attack. You can start with a phantom dancer, but then you need to follow it up with a pure damage item like Infinity Edge, and then after that you'll need lifesteal so a Bloodthirster would be good.

Botrk is not particularly strong late game so if you are going to get it get it first, then a speed item, then a damage item.

They are reporting you for playing an attack speed carry instead of attack damage carry. Which is ridiculous because the only role that's locked in for the new draft mode is support. ADC/ASC/whatever else is not locked in so you did nothing wrong in that regard. There's something called blaming others for your mistakes, maybe that's what they were doing in that game. Blaming you for their own mistakes.

No rules, free to build whatever you want to. I'll call you a troll but not report.

All the attack speed with base damage will never get even squishes. Like someone said item 3153 is the first item highly recommended for vayne. It gives 40% AS + passive + active health steal. And then 2 more AS items (item 3006 ,item 3046 or item 3085 ) and then anything else based on team comp.

While its not against the rules a pure attack speed build on Vayne will never compare in damage to a more standard and balanced Crit/Ad/As build with Lord Dominick's Regard to help negate armor.

The true damage is a bonus and something you should work with when you can, obviously, but I've seen people try to justify build paths like PD first on her since her release day and that seriously weakens your laning phase as the big damage items like BF+pickaxe that the enemy has will easily out damage you and likely push you out of lane.

Naturally, the part about the enemy carry doesn't apply as much in the scenario you're talking about.

You can play however you want as long as you aren't purposely losing the game. Plus back then I rushed botrk and zephyr on adc like vayne and kalista since both items gave ad and attack speed.

If not getting the optimal potential out of the team is against anything then I guess getting ap on malphite deserves a ban.

Is this a troll thread?
