Yeah dude it's legit and pretty fun. You can both melt tanks with all the armor pen and blow up squishies with the Duskblade proc. For the last 2 items, I like any two of Death's Dance, Bloodthirster, Maw of Malmortius, a Last Whisper item, or Mercurial Scimitar depending on the situation

I think it works because:
-MF doesn't really need attack speed; she has 212% at level 18 with Strut and Youmuu's active, runes and masteries
-Crit isn't even necessary; sure Bullet Time can crit, but it has a huge crit damage penalty
-She still gets the CDR she needs
-She scales quite well with pure AD and armor pen

Basically this build makes MF into a pure AD burst caster that murders people with her ult.

ADC is fun right now because there's the classic builds which work but feel a little mediocre, and then there's the clown show of everyone building everything on everyone and seeing what sticks.

(also a lightning rod)

This is the kind of game you want to quit like immediately because you hosed everything up.

Then you play it out and win because who cares if you went 0/7/0 in lane and were 4 levels and 50 CS down if you can get yourself back in the game and casually start wasting stupid people.

Seriously, I hosed up on an early trade by somehow managing to cancel my one and only crit, which left me dead. Then I tilted hard and died like everyone 2 minutes on the minute, told people not to come top because I had to fix my own gently caress up. Then I just farmed what I could - lane, jungle, other lanes - and casually managed to beat down my 2 levels higher lane opponent who is 8/0 to my 0/7. I hit 18 before anyone else and ended up managing to push in all sorts of poo poo because no one respected that I had got myself back into the game so the enemy team would only ever send one person (who would die) to stop me.

E: Obviously it also helps that my allies weren't total knobs, didn't berate me for my EXTREME gently caress ups (thankfully Riven without TP roams like garbage), and did well enough in their respective lanes that holding out for the mid-late game was feasible.

Gave MF a try rushing it first item, it was pretty funny to have Q crit bounce to the enemy ADC and apply duskblade and watch them die from a single attack with a rank 1 or 2 Q.

This is my question too because MF appears to have a lot of skill order options depending on what items, masteries, and play style you are going for.

I can see arguments for-
QWE, EWQ, and EQW and I've actually done all three at least once and I don't know which is best.

I think if you are going E first Thunderlord's makes sense because it's one of the easiest ways in the game to proc it; however I think if you are going Q first the standard ADC masteries are probably better.

What does the guy who originated this build do?

I agree but I'm a broken man who plays ADC because I'm better at it than most roles and I like "positioning" aka being a pansy who skirts fights.

btw I've started banning yasuo if someone bans lucian. why? because I consistently get mid and top yasuos who don't know what they are doing and do less damage than our support. it's goddamn baffling but I'm silver 4 so maybe that's why

National tragedy.
So question for the goons that have hit plat+ before:

The first time you grinded to plat, how did it go? This is my first season playing past gold 5 for the rewards and so far I'm about halfway through gold 2 and most of my games still seem pretty easy. Plat seems like a pretty attainable goal since there is so much time left in the season but now I'm thinking ahead to maybe going for the diamond grind. Did any of you ever hit a wall and have to change your approach or was it mostly a time invested thing?

I've started regularly hate banning Yasuo as well because he's totally poo poo and fits into about 1/100 team compositions yet people will pick his rear end every time he is open. Then I either have to deal with the enemy Yasuo who is fed or the friendly Yasuo who locked our team into a 4AD composition with no tank and the enemy team has Rammus.

plat came by accident, diamond came after like two months of hard work. first one is pretty hard if you havent really seen that level of competition yet

it was always time invested for me. I'm guessing serv will attest the same thing

Melee AD champions SHOULD all be extremely situational and can single-handedly ruin the damage balance of a team composition; however, they are among the most popular of all characters in the game and there are so many people who pick them regardless of their viability in the composition the team drafts.

I would say in the last few years I've probably easily won and handily lost about a hundred games because a team on one side drafted four pure AD and the other side just armor stacked and rolled them the gently caress over. Just yesterday was playing a game with goons and the enemy team was Zed, Rengar, and Lee Sin all full AD / zero tank on one team. If you finish a draft and that's what you got the lobby should just close with defeat at champion select and all five people should get a loss.

It's one of the easiest things to see, note, and avoid doing, but people are so strangely compelled to their swordsmen that they simply cannot help themselves most of the time, hence why they must often be banned for the sake of the team, so that you don't lose the game at champion select.
