Welcome to the first post of a blog series in which I combine mathematical analysis with logic to investigate building ADCs. Why ADCs? I feel they are the easiest role to mathematically analyse and more importantly, the most relevant ones to do so. A very simplistic view of the ADC is someone who outputs consistent high DPS on the closest target. There are varying degrees of auto-attack reliance between ADCs, but many can have their damage output easily modeled.

Introduction

As a brief disclaimer, numbers alone do not give an accurate picture of what happens in the Summoner's Rift, other effects must be taken into account, those are discussed in my conclusion.

I started investigating Last Whisper after an article on Reign of Gaming extolled the virtues of building it sooner than many appear to do without of…

Hey guys, this week I'm going to take EVERY jungle champion and let you know which jungle item to buy on them. Most of this is based off of MY opinion. They aren't set in stone so feel free to argue. Just know that this comes from watching the pro scene diligently and playing at the highest levels on a regular basis. If spirit stone is the right call I'll also give you the correct upgrade path as well. If I don't mention a champion its because I don't think they are a jungler.

This will just be done alphabetically.

Amumu - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Ancient Golem.

Cho'Gath - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Ancient Golem.

Dr. Mundo - Spirit Stone - Spirt of the Ancient Golem.

Elise - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Spectral Wraith.

Evelynn - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Elder Lizard (burn OP).

Fiddlesticks - Dorans Ring - Zhonyas

Gragas - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Spectral Wraith.

Hecarim - Spirit Stone - Spirit of the Elder Lizard.

Jarvan IV - Preference - If you want to …

Hi all! If you are interested to know what I will do to try and contribute to the community, just take a bit of time to read what I am going to type out:

#1 Updates on both of my guides:

Recently, I have been trollvoted quite badly. I really do not know what I should do with the guides though. If you have any ideas, feel free to comment below!


#2 Working on a new guide:

Currently, I am spending a lot of time to work on a support Lulu guide! astrolia unfortunately archived his support Lulu guide, so I felt the need to include a new one cause the other support

Disclaimer: Please note that these matchups are not guaranteed to win, but are generally good picks against their counterparts. Please also consider that not everyone plays the same and a counterpick for someone else, may not work so well for you. In fact, we all usually main 2 or 1 or 2 heros because we play those heros better than the rest and that is something to consider when picking too.

-Caitlyn can do well in any lane and although she does have some popular lane matchups that she is picked into (believed to be a counterpick of) she is very ignorable if she isn't played hyper-aggressive and will sometimes become irrelevant the longer the game goes.

When an ancient demon of war arrives to start a never-ending bloodbath, you better start running—or at least kiting, as the case may be in League of Legends. Aatrox is a new melee bruiser champion that relies on hefty lifesteal and some light CC to murder his targets.

If you want to see exactly how Aatrox fuels the bloodshed, look at his official profile.

The TLDR version: big wings, big sword, wants to fight forever, even after he’s dead.

Thirsty for blood

At his most base elements, Aatrox is a champion that wants to fight everyone all the time. Two of his abilities are built for teamfights, and the other two are built for sustainably dueling in lane.

That combination makes him ideal for a top-lane bruiser champion, allowing you to stay in the lane and push the wave, punish any aggression and escape any ganks with minimal consequences.

The core of that sustainability is his Blood Thirst ability (W), which heals him every third auto-attack. The heal amount…

Hello fellow Summoners!
Today I found out how damn OP is Warwick in jungle! :D First, I saw WW is for 450 IP so... insta-bought! Weeks later my friend wanted to test Hecarim (as he was on rotation) on bots. I picked WW just to have something new to play. BOOOOOM! Early game - owned! That life-steal kept me on full HP in jungle all the time! Later, slightly worse - because no dashes/ranged skills (exept ult). Still... from this day WW becomes my favourite jungle chamion (exept my beloved Vi <3). First PvP... two double-kills before 10 minutes! :O Later enemies began to focus me, so U ussually killed two of them and died... surrender at 21 minute. xD
