Best Melee DPS Nuke-em-Down Champion?

[quote=Bryun][quote=Chuper] Why is everyone forgetting Jax? Jax is amazing! Sure he's a little squishy early game but he can dish out as well. He's more of a late game champ but he has the potential to be an awesome all game champ if built/played properly. [/quote] Because [[Jax]] is being nerfed to the floor with the [[Hextech Gunblade]] nerf, and the season 2 mastery re-work...[/quote]

[quote=esperz1nski]According to your thread title, it sounds like Nunu is destined to be your buddy. Tank / Support / Ap [u][b]Blood Boil[/b] [/u]: Increases an allied unit's attack speed by 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65% and movement speed by 11 / 12.5 / 13 / 14.5 / 15% for 15 seconds. Nunu also gains the effects of Bloodboil if casted on an allied unit. [u][b]Ice Blast [/b][/u]: Nunu throws a ball of ice at an enemy unit, dealing 85 / 130 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+100% of ability power) magic damage and slowing their movement speed by 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60% and attack speed by 25% for 4 seconds. And your <b> Nuke Em</b> Dream is Absolutely! [u][b][color=#00ffff]Absolute Zero[/color][/b][/u] : While channeling for 3 seconds, slows nearby enemy units' attack speed and movement speed. After channeling, enemies caught in the area are dealt 625 / 875 / 1125 (+250% of ability power) magic damage. I have been playing Nunu as my main since I started playing lol, and he is my favorite so far. Sounds like you would enjoy playing him as well. If you do decide to check out Nunu, I highly suggest using the Guide entitled "Ice Cold Killer (AP Laner)" Best of luck to you![/quote]

[quote=abzilla][quote=RosePhoenix] [quote=Zoki] Some tanks have potential to do some good damage if you go fully offensive, since some of them have pretty high AP/AD ratios. A good example of champion that can go both Offensive and Tanky is [[nasus]]. About melee DPS champs, there are a lot, for example you have [[tryndamere]],[[master yi]],[[gangplank]](can build AS),[[garen]](on some occasions),[[nocturne]],... [/quote] ^ Pretty much all of those. [[Tryndamere]] is just an insanely strong melee dps along with an ult that leaves you undying for 6 seconds. Great for wrecking enemies. Decent pick if enemies don't focus you. [[Master Yi]] is a cleanup killer. Has massive damage 1v1, can farm like mad, and can cleanup everything easily. [[Gangplank]] is a melee wrecker if built squishy. One Parrley (Q) will deal around half a squishy's health if critted. Tanky Gp can just absolutely go around destroying people. [[Nocturne]] is generally built tanky, because building squishy gets you nowhere. Can pretty much 100% rape any Ranged AD squishy, and yet packs a punch and provides a lot for the team. [[Pantheon]] is another great melee rapist. He's like an AD nuker, with massive burst. For tankier melee champs (bruisers), I recommend Renekton, as he has massive AD burst, along with disruptions, and AoE damage. [[Nasus]], which has the ability to deal massive damage with no items but a trinity force and yet still be tanky and wreck face. [[Xin Zhao]] has massive 1v1 melee potential. Has great CC and a large amount of damage output if in range. [[Lee Sin]] has an insanely strong kit for raping. He's an insanely powerful duelist. Tanky, and has mobility. REALLY fun to play too. [[Udyr]] has the shortest range in game. But then if he gets near to you, you're pretty much dead. His Tiger has massive on hit burst, while his phoenix has massive AoE and 3 hit proc burst. Generally Udyr players choose between Tiger or Phoenix as their main damage output, and maxing out turtle, which has insane sustain for Udyr, and Bear, a short cd stun which makes him super fast. [[Irelia]] has insane anti-carrying capability while also being insanely tanky. Has an ability which can deal true damage with every hit. Rapes squishies with a gapcloser, and can bait higher hp'd enemies to their death. [[Garen]] is generally built tanky, and he can absolutely rape any squishy in game. A disrupting silence with Ms boost along with an insanely powerful ultimate and spin, which deals massive amounts of damage to squishies. [[Olaf]] has INSANELY strong mid game power. Recent buffs made him a decent solo top laner. Insanely powerful mid game, can absolutely wreck face during mid game. [/quote] ^ spot on list, and thats how i would rank them too starting with [[tryndamere]][/quote]

[quote=childofthegrave][[Jarvan IV]] can take on 3 people at once if you build him right[/quote]

[quote=Oppressor]All of you have been extremely helpful. In normal matches I rarely see tanky DPS and if I do see them their performance has been poor. I've done poorly with them as well but I'm working on it. I tend to enjoy the bursty champions like Akali and Katarina once I get past their early game. The melee champ that I excel the most at is Gangplank however in an endgame environment, there are actually a lot of melee that will beat me 1v1 and in raw DPS but in team fights I find him to be pretty valuable to the team if not focused. I'm trying to figure out what other AD melee are similar to Gangplank. Tryndamere, Olaf and Yi for sure. Poppy is supposed to be too but I haven't tried her much yet. Most of the rest of the AD melee are are not ideal for pure damage. That or I just don't know better. I've seen people play Lee Sin, Udyr and Arelia full DPS instead of tanky. While they were good, I just don't see full damage being ideal for those who are typical tanky dps. Thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]^ There aren't many viable melee AD carries left in the game, to be honest. Trynda is pretty much the only one I can think of who can actually be good without being built tanky DPS. That said, maybe you'd like [[Riven]] or [[Talon]]? Talon is an assassin, builds AD, and is bursty as fuck, so he might be what you're looking for. Seems he's free this week as well.[/quote]

[quote=InfHaRM]I saw a Sion build as an AD yesterday with a thornmail thrown in seeing as they had 3 ad champs, and he kind of just laughed at their entire team and dropped something like 12/2. It was actually rather scary to watch.[/quote]
