Ya you got any ad carry tips or build paths that change when behind and ahead

meiyisi1 votes

As far as ADC goes, These are my tips: Learn the power spike of the specific hero you're playing. Item power spikes would be something like, Corki -> Tri/Cutlass Vayne -> BOTRK and the rest is generally IE. If you have an item lead, for example the enemy ADC has a bf sword while you have three components of an IE, if you go for the dragon fight you have a huge advantage. Always keep track of champions, especially CC wise and assassins. You want to pay attention to the Diana who can 1 combo you and ensure that she doesnt get a cheesy flash off or get a decent flank off of you or thats gg.

Build paths doesn't generally change much on ADC's, their itemization is pretty much set unless their mid laner is extremely ahead or they have a ton of cc, in this case you may have to build banshees early. If they have a LOT of cc you can make a decision to build QSS early or maybe swap heal for cleanse.

In one of the videos made by "Irelia Carries You", he was using Irelia VS Olaf and he said that his power spike was at level 4.

How can I learn about Champion Level power spikes and does it change based on match ups?

how to play adc if you supp wont communicate with you and just goes in when ever.

I've had success playing ADC up to where I am now. I'd say its not necessary you need communication in the bot lane, just make sure you are paying attention to your supports playstyle. If he overextends and the enemy duo bot is harassing him, make sure he doesnt get harassed for free. Basically, use him as a meatshield. Make some ballsy plays if you know you can do it without getting caught. I generally try to bait out CC a lot and look for good trades, if thats not possible the only thing you can do is farm. You can always come back as an adc as long as you can farm well and make it into the latter part of the game. Also, learn how to manage your creep waves.

Posted this on another thread and like to get your opinion

I'm in B2 and sometimes I am matched with people that have less mechanical prowess than myself and I end up getting pretty ahead in CS and kills.

Most the time after some kills, I like leaving the tower up as it gives me more time to farm, get kills and get even further ahead. I'll do the occasional roam if I see that another lane is being pushed up or having trouble. But if I see that my team has pushed them all the way into the tower, I'm normally more reluctant in roaming as I feel that its a waste of time to roam. That being said, should I really be taking down those turrets ASAP?

Same goes for my mid game decisions, where all the turrets are down except that top tower, should I go there and try to take that tower? Since I've had those top (sometimes even mid liners) tell me to f* off and gtfo their lane and don't bring a crowd to them.

I'd like to hear some tips from people and what kinds decisions they make in regards to early / mid game turret taking.

First of all ignore pretty much everything your teammates say in bronze. And you should probably have about 160 farm at 20 minutes which isn't a bad time to take your tower, roam bot, potentially kill the enemy bot lane and then push down their tower. if at any point during the game you see a pretty much free tower, take it. its a lot of gold and gives you more map and vision control.

What are the steps to snowball a game? Some general tips regarding rotations and objectives?

meiyisi1 votes

I personally snowball by playing champions that I am comfortable with, I know their powerspikes. I know the champion I'm playing against in and out. I know if I duel them now, they have no flash and if I flash stun them and the jungler follows up, it's a 100% kill. That's just an example :-) I'm big on the summoner spells. If I get a lead, I ward in certain places that is heavy on traffic IE: a ward that will tell me if the jungler is doing his red side of jungle, then I can clear and gank him. If I get an early lead, I'll try to force dragon too, not necessarily for dragon but to kill everyone.

General tips, If you take the mid towers/inhib then push mid fast and go somewhere else like top or bot. You can also have someone go bot that has TP and push top as 4 and attempt to do baron if more than 1 goes bot. You can ward somewhere traffic heavy and roam as a team, get a pick and then go for objectives, never waste a free kill :-)

For ADC, any tips for learning how to attack-move fluidly? I can do animation canceling decently, but I always default back to right-clicking on targets and end up walking forward instead of shooting anything. I have a hard time pressing "A" before every auto attack. I know I'm missing out on a lot of DPS and kiting ability because of this. Is there a better key binding or way to do it?

meiyisi1 votes

Yeah I feel you on that one. I'd say this one comes down to personal preference, just do whatever you're comfortable and build it up. I personally right click myself, I'm not comfortable using anything else. Sorry I'm not that much of a help on this one :-)

Amelie1 votes

No that helps; I thought the only way to get Plat+ with ADC was to master the attack-move thing. It's good to know that right clicking is possible too. I'll keep practicing. Thanks!
