Let's change the topic. How does high-end League of Legends compare to custard? I've tried low-end League and compared it to jam but I am specifically wondering about high end League vs custard in this case.

Dorans Blade (often x2) -> IE+Berserker Greaves -> PD or Shiv - shiv for instant powerspike, PD for better scaling -> LW -> Bloodthirster 4th item -> Banshees/GA/QSS defensive item around this point The real trick to IE rush is that it opens up more options for buying. If you have 1400 gold when you back, pick up your 2nd Dorans and a pickaxe. If you have 1600, buy a BF and a health pot to go with the one Doran you started with.

At some point you owe it to yourself to rush Brutalizer first item and then just laugh and laugh and laugh when a double-up bounce does 30% of the enemy ADCs health.

Libertine posted:Since you are the resident Fortune expert, what would you say the ideal six-item build is on her? Normally I would just check Probuilds, but literally zero pro players play MF regularly, which I think is kind of ridiculous but I understand why because she just gets picked off relentlessly in pro play. I'm still not sure what build is optimal for new MF besides the obvious answer of "depends on the game". Old MF was simpler: Stacking straight AD with both LW and BC and a late PD was enough that you'd basically win every teamfight where you didn't horribly waste your ult. Now, the formerly best AD item gives 20 less AD and while MF still scales on AD, she does a substantial part of her damage as magic damage, meaning LW and BC are less useful. At the moment, I'd only do Brutalizer in one situation: I get a small lead early and back with ~1400 gold. Pick it up and dominate them in lane and guarantee a kill as soon as your ult is available if your support isn't literally asleep. In that scenario, I usually go IE into PD next and just sit on the Brutalizer. It is such an incredibly efficient item that the lack of optimal upgrade paths for MF doesn't even matter. They could rename it Dorans Brutalizer and remove both upgrade paths entirely and I'd still buy it early in many games. Eventually you turn it into a Ghostblade or, if you have an AD-heavy team with no other BC, then BC. MFs biggest powerspike now is laning phase before the first completed item on either side. She's a Draven-level bully with fewer conditions to her damage. As a rule of thumb, I always feel like it's best to build to a champion's strengths rather than their weaknesses (early Shiv on Tristana being an exception). On the first buy, I always pick up whatever gives me the most power right then and there. 1350 gold? Phage and a pot. 1400? Brut and a pot. 1600? BF and a pot. And so on. Two Dorans Blades is good. Three is less stupid than it seems. If you do Zerkers/IE/PD/3x Doran, your midgame will be monstrous. I feel like Trinity Force has to be either first or second after IE or not at all, but it can work on new MF since her Q and W are both more spammy now. I have a personal vendetta against Shiv and will never build it ever unless I'm Tristana and falling behind early or some poo poo. Phantom Dancer4lyfe. MF can duel most other ADCs on similar items and come out on top so I like to take advantage of that with PD which shits on Shiv in 1v1s. Essence Reaver is a total waste on MF I think, I'd much rather get BT, especially the buffed one that's very good now. A couple of full build variations could be (in building order): IE/PD/LW/BT/defensive item IE/TF/LW/BT/PD (or same with TF and IE switched) IE/PD/BT/LW/defensive IE/PD/BT/LW/BC or the Cop variation that I bust out now and then in long games that need serious carrying: IE/PD/BT/LW/IE E: In solo queue I almost always buy a pink ward on the first back unless I'm sitting at a gold value where that makes no sense (like just enough for BF). Drop it in tri if blue side and in tri behind the tower towards blue buff if purple side. The latter will save your life at least one time, guaranteed, and has never not been worth it for me.

I just had an Evelynn jungle rage out and alternate between feeding, afk'ing in fountain and suiciding to wolves because the enemy ADC dc'd from the start and we said in all chat we'd let him free farm up to level 6 when he came back as level 1 a few minutes later. He accused us all for "not wanting to win" because we gave the guy a chance and then demonstrated how much he wanted to win himself by dying to wolves and sitting in base. Some people. Apparently the rest of us on the team were all cancers for not kill-farming a level 1. We suggested he gank other lanes or maybe take dragons with us or something but nope, had to kill the level 1 or the game is forfeit.

In this case the Tristana was level 1 and I was a Caitlyn who could literally kill her in an auto+ult combo so it didn't make much sense to "give her my best". We would have easily won it with my massive CS advantage as well as the two free Dragons Evelynn could have collected if she had pinged us there instead of typing in caps from the jungle

Technically, if you just want to maximize DPS, on some AP champions, multiple DFGs are the way to go as well. I don't know how the math checks out on a mana-heavy Archangel build now but otherwise the highest damage would be Deathcap, Zhonyas and 4 DFGs for capped CDR

Endorph posted:The main thing with ADC is that the fun part comes after like 20 minutes of right clicking minions and occasionally trying not to get killed by Jarvan IV. The problem is that even if you manage to not get killed by Jarvan IV for those 20 minutes, by the end, that other guy still gets to continue playing Jarvan IV, so he got the sweeter end of the deal there too.

I would lower the duration-scaling on Morg's Q and, if I had to hit her hard, make any spell that does damage to her shielded target also CC the target as appropriate. Though thinking about it, that would instantly lower her winrate by 10%.

Err Vayne easily outduels Tristana in a 1v1 situation. Tristana only has the upper hand when Vayne can't close the gap because there's a bunch of bruisers punching eachother inbetween the two.

I'll add that when I say Vayne "easily" outduels anyone, it requires Vayne to land the condemn stun. Otherwise, it's a very close fight. I'd say Vayne wins it midgame assuming level 2 ults and 2 completed items.

Saki posted:Actually as MF if a Kha'Zix jumps on you, you die uselessly because she is poo poo. Lol look at how wrong you are. Go stand next to any friendly unit and out-DPS his sorry rear end. MF is many things but as long as you don't fall behind (and how would you do that on one of the strongest lane bullies?) but she is not bad at 1v1'ing squishy targets that dive her. Asema posted:I wonder what league you have to be for people to understand what double up does and not be able to bully them safely from behind your minion line. MF allows people to take advantage of bad players. Still works in high plat/low diamond. Imaqtpie played her like 5 games in a row a few days ago and during the fifth game he started screaming "HOW THE gently caress DOES THIS SKILL WORK" about double-up. He makes a living playing ADCs and he doesn't know how it works.

Get Innocuous! posted:Get two Doran's blades for your lifesteal. If that isn't enough, run lifesteal quints. IE rush is pretty much the standard for a lot of AD carries nowadays. Yep this. IE or Trinity Rush depending on the circumstances. If I think I'm gonna get dived a lot, I'll get 2 Dorans. 3 Dorans Blade into IE -> PD makes you capable of duelling anyone but you better finish the game at that point because you've gone full Genja and are about to fall off HARD

Libertine posted:Mash have you done IE/Ghostblade as 1st/2nd items on MF? It looks like a few guys have done that on Probuilds lately and I haven't tried that particular combo so I might give it a shot tonight. Nah but that sort of seems like it's only strong because that item combo is naturally strong on its own right now. MF doesn't really need an(other) on-demand attackspeed buff, though I guess you could argue that it works as a high-damage follow-up right after ulting at the start of a teamfight.

Lee Sin is still the best and most well-designed champion in the game and Annie having absolutely terrible design (name me one champion more reliant on a specific summoner skill) is not an argument against that. I'm glad the latest Lee Sin nerf mostly hit his invisible power (the attack speed nerf on Cripple) rather than what makes him so great to play (his mobility).

From that sample size, you left your team to 4v5 in 1 out of 10 games. At that point, you no longer get to complain about "afkers ruining all my games" at least. Not saying that you did, and maybe that crash was a total one-off, but if you can't complete 49 out of 50 games you queue up for, you're part of the problem.

Phenotype posted:But it doesn't really matter what the cause is anyway - dropping out of a game is frustrating for everyone involved regardless, and if you've dropped a significant percentage of your games for whatever reason, you don't get to complain. This was the point of my original post. The post had no real content other than complaints about teammates and if you want to complain about something despite a small sample size, you get examined under that same small sample size. Maybe that disconnect was a 1 in 100 for the poster, but that goes for every complaint he had about his allies too. If you're gonna complain about five or ten games, you get poo poo for those same five or ten games.

I've completely stopped playing MF in ranked games despite her being my "main" because no one understands her or appreciates what she can do. One thing is that I typically get saddled with passive supports, completely wasting MF's ridiculously strong early game, but no one understands her midgame strength. I was 10-1-2 in a game that was 12-16 or something like that and I told the team that we'd be fine to win a 5v5 over the next Dragon because I was level 11 and could basically win the teamfight with just my level 2 ult. I figured that fight would bring us back into the game and my lovely top and midlaners could catch up and snowball off of that. Instead, our toplaner, 0-3 or so at the time, told me that "MF's ult is crap now since it does magic damage". I spent thirty seconds pushing out bot while explaining how the ult actually worked and how much damage it does now, at which point our midlaner says "doesn't matter, it doesn't scale on AD so even if you are fed it still does no damage". They then both went into our jungle to farm wraiths and wolves while the enemy team took a Dragon I probably could have penta'd at. At that point I thought why even bother playing MF anymore. There's also loads of people who don't understand how Double-up works but at least that's usually in your favour because enemy ADCs who don't understand it get poked out of lane before level 3.
