Pistol lane, can it work?

Nybx4life··1 votes·683 views

For the last few months I've been planning to go in solo queue and do a pistol lane; Lucian and MissFortune bot lane. My latest attempt was a failure, but I think it was due to the mf player not being able to properly share farm, and making poor decisions (some of which I made myself). I'm wondering, how could I make this happen? I want that double ult to work.

There's not much CC in the lane. That's usually what supports pride in and sets the ADC up for success. If the only CC in the lane is a slow, well, there's bound to be issues there.

That's the biggest weakness I found out. Except for MF's make it rain, there's no cc. We can all in on them, but it would have to be to take out the adc in one go.

summoner 7 summoner 3 summoner 14 these are your core spells luci can barely get away with no flash if you are careful and learn the wall hops

maybe if one played aggro support and just harrasses with some gp10 item and get one of you 2 super fed early and then let the other catch up on CC but I don't think its optimal. may work in bronze possibly silver but gold+ good luck

I see that may work. Lucian does have some use for ap, so that may work. I don't have much confidence to do it in ranked, but I do want to find a way to find success in normals.

oh well in normals its kinda just luck from my experience. id play with you though I like trying new things

I think that's so. If I'm able to this weekend, we should try a few games bot lane and get a pistol lane running.

Might want to have MF as the supportish one, she has a slow, some AP scaling and gains some decent damage just from levels.

I'm curious on doing both. Having a game as Lucian support to MF, and vice-versa.

The reason I wouldn't suggest Lucian in a supportish role is that his kit only offers selfish utility, the speed buff from W and the increased dashes from passive procs only apply to him, leaving him with only poke, and with the reduced gold from support he doesn't really get the damage he otherwise would, MF on the other hand has team utility, works well with item 3071 which benefits team members, in addition to scaling with AP a bit better.

The thing is, I feel you just CAN'T do a standard carry/support lane doing this. It's going to be a pure kill lane, yet one would be more viable for engaging the enemy with an ability.

try working a blue supp item on the luci and a red on the mf doesnt have to go past level two but if you dont utilize some gold items youll have trouble and as is luci is a far better caster then attack speed hes a lot like ez now with the e changes

yes luci can spam his qwe and abuse the passive and work better then he does with a normal attack speed adc your still gettingitem 3078 {{item:3006}

when i build it i ussaly go item 3072item 3006 item 3035item 3142 item 3078item 3031 get shen around the boots this is in order the tri and yosmuins blade is built in that order cuase aviance helps a butt load and the armor pen scales you more then just attack speed

after early game ya should have this item 3072 item 3006 item 3057 item 3093 item 3035 more or less in that order

ie is last cuase they just nerfed crits and you will jsut do better if you can sustain keep in mind your using your passive as much ass possible and will want blue buffs

a blue support item? red support item? I get having some gold income items, but not sure about everything else.

item 3302 red supp item decent sutian shared cs gold when cahrge avlaible item 3098 level 2 blue supp item gold for poking

the why this is my recomendation is the level 2 supp items have lower cd on charges and the red on mf gives her ssutain and you stusian the blue gives luci the mana regen he needs early on 50% base mana regen is more then you think

also i seriously recommend doing this with a pratcied dou partner youll look crazy in ranked but only a duo will get it to work

Yeah, I'm looking to set this up in normals first. If I can do a few good games in a normal game with a pistol lane, I should be able to step up to ranked.

jsut remember to go attack damage over attack speed and kite hard your probably not gonna do well vs tanks like bruam or voli though i don't see why you would have trouble if you kite well

It's not that bad, if my lane partner can work well with me. Last game I tried did good trades, but my lane partner didn't work too well, which limited our effectiveness.

i figurd as much the synergy is to much for the trash in league over all

Nybx4life1 votes

I think I just need a random guy to lane with who is skilled individually, and can work okay in lane as a team.

zane yalgir1 votes

thats what synergy is one part anyways..... i have 7 games with a dou partner and i lost only one where as i go into a random bot lane and i get wreked by the none stop down syndrome partners who have no fucking clue how to lane then i get fucked even more by having to hold a 1v2 with the enmy being fed and its soooooooo fucking fun

then the mids always like this morg is pretty good im not convinced it was her.....

well few problems with this line

mid isnt bot she fed bot so we barely win becuase i have scream my head of telling her to leave and help the others so i can at least get some cs and theres one guy mid if the enemy is both bot then there is a 2v1 our mid having favor mid.....

i jsut wish they would learn the root of what is cuaseing the flamers to flame cuase there is no way those where "bad games"

I say to that Zane, adjust yourself. Seriously. If your mid lane champ comes down to pure farm at your lane, I'd go mid and farm there. Faster anyway. And depending on the matchup, it would be a good way to catch up or pull ahead (Cait mid is lovely against mid lane champs. You see the poke coming from miles out, and escaping ganks is so easy, even with j4 junglers).
