Building Supports as ADC?

[quote=Meshly]No, I am talking about ones like Alistar, who lack range. Or ones like Soraka, who lack cc. I am talking of ones like Thresh or Lulu. They have range (Though Thresh is really short) and tons of cc. It has it's advantages and disadvantages. Advantages bringer more cc to the fight and a lot adc aa more late game anyway. And pairing with another support could prove strong. And disadvantages are they weren't meant to be played that way and lack damage spells for early game. What do you guys think?[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]adc thresh is a thing and has been played with blitz, i remember when lulu could be ap but i guess you could build her like an adc but i dunno how itll work out[/quote]

[quote=Shuru]I did ADC thresh with Naut bot today. freaking hilarious.[/quote]

[quote=Satella]I used to do ADC LeBlanc, then I went up tiers in ranked and it stopped working. I'll quote something I wrote up: [quote]Now, you can't just build every champion AD and make it work in a competitive scene; [[Soraka]] would be the worst AD carry ever. But what exactly differentiates AD carries from other champions that makes them good at the job? Let's break it down below: [b]Gapclosing/escaping and overall mobility to aid positioning:[/b] [list] [*]Dash/Blink: [[Caitlyn]], [[Corki]], [[Ezreal]], [[Graves]], [[Tristana]], [[Vayne]] [*]Movespeed buff: [[Draven]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Quinn]], [[Sivir]], [[Twitch]], [[Vayne]] [*]Stealth: [[Twitch]], [[Vayne]] [/list] [b]Innate DPS boost and damage augmentation:[/b] [list] [*]Attack speed buff: [[Draven]], [[Ezreal]], [[Kog'maw]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Sivir]], [[Tristana]], [[Varus]] [*]Attack damage buff: [[Draven]], [[Quinn]], [[Twitch]], [[Vayne]] [*]True damage: [[Corki]], [[Twitch]], [[Vayne]] [*]%-health damage: [[Kog'Maw]], [[Varus]], [[Vayne]] [*]High AD scaling: [[Caitlyn]], [[Graves]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Sivir]] [*]Armor shred: [[Corki]], [[Kog'Maw]] [*]Autoattack reset: [[Sivir]], [[Vayne]] [/list] [b]Crowd Control and disruption:[/b] [list] [*]Slow: [[Ashe]], [[Caitlyn]], [[Draven]], [[Graves]], [[Kog'maw]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Quinn]], [[Tristana]], [[Twitch]], [[Varus]] [*]Snare/stun: [[Ashe]], [[Caitlyn]], [[Varus]], [[Vayne]] [*]Knockback: [[Draven]], [[Tristana]], [[Vayne]] [/list] The two other attributes that benefit AD carries are, of course, AD scaling, ability to zone out an enemy, and long autoattack/ability ranges.[/quote] Note that all the "good" AD carries tend to have a steroid ([[Tristana]]), high AoE teamfight damage ([[Twitch]]), high upfront burst ([[Draven]]), good chasing/kiting power ([[Vayne]]), or all of the above ([[Miss Fortune]]). Ranged supports tend to lack a lot of these attributes as their kits are designed around supporting. It's a sad truth that you won't be a great ADC if you aren't designed to be one.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]Blitzcrank + Alistar bot lane. Blitz or Alistar goes ADC. :) Fun lane.[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]You can do [[Janna]] as an ADC only because she has an innate movement buff and AD steroid that aren't affected by AP scaling. She can also more or less kite with her tornado and ulti. But she'd probably build attack speed first, since she has a damage boost.[/quote]

[quote=Satella][[Janna]] has 475 range. Even [[Sivir]] outranges her, and the major reason why Sivir sucks right now is because of her 500 range. Couple this with the fact that she can just steroid a much better ADC, and there's little reason to play her as ADC.[/quote]

[quote=Meshly]I noticed Lulu met two of those three factors, and her range is 550. So I guess that could make her okay as an adc. Also if that is a quote, then where was the original post?[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]voyboy plays AS lulu on stream from time to time and destroys people with it[/quote]

[quote=StreatRiot15]Jebus beat me to it. Yeah voyboy occasionally runs her top and just kinda wrecks everything in sight.[/quote]
