Hi, my name is Sebastian, I am 24 years old and I have been playing league since season 2.


I usually play mid/sup as my primary roles, but learned to do every role in the past.


Highest rank I have achieved is Diamond 3 in season 4. I was Diamond in season 5, but i didn't bother playing a lot in season 6 + 7 (well 7 not over yet). In season 6 i was Plat 2 in the end and in season 7 I am currently at gold 1 (with 8 games played ;))


So why trust me and my guide with this? While i don't play a lot of ranked currently, i do plan to pick it up again. I do have years of experience in playing league and have a wide knowledge of game data. Also i like to analyze things, make up calculations which gives me a lead over everyone else.

Pros:

• Very mobile
• Fun to play
• Engage
• Peel for your ADC

Cons:

• Exploitable early game
• No damage

Well this is a very good question. While redemption is a very strong item and can work very well, i do think Rakan profits more from Ardent, especially in soloQ. His AP scaling is quite decent, the CDR is pretty nice and the passive is very strong for every auto attack based champion.


Also going for Locket later in the game this applies the passive from Ardent to EVERYONE.


Plus windspeaker, maxing shields first, is just going to be a gigantic help in teamfights. A well placed Redemption might be comparable strong or even a little bit stronger, but is not as reliable.

Pretty much every ADC is viable, however i do prefer these:

Lucian - with his high mobility + yours, nobody is gonna be able to catch you
Caitlyn - her strong early game makes up for your weak one
Kalista - Her ult synergizes VERY good with yours, jump in and charm everyone!
Xayah - Obvious one, you have a longer E range and her W triggers your auto attacks to be very strong
Ashe - She can slow enemies which helps you set up your knockup. Her ult is also great in combination with yours.
Jinx - very nice setup possibility with her traps.
Sivir - Extra movement speed for engages is very nice.
Miss Fortune - Your Ult to keep the enemies in her ult really does a lot in fights. Her slow also helps you setup your W
Jhin - Very potent setup, you can peel for him since he is low mobility. His W works great with you to setup your knockup.


These are the ones i don't think synergize as well:

Ezreal - Ezreal can pretty much act alone without you. You excel at helping them out of sticky situations. This isn't necessary for Ezreal.
Tristana - no real setup for you + in a weak state currently.
Kog'Maw - better pick Lulu

Please be gentle, any feedback or discussion is appreciated. This is one of my first guides here so i haven't had a whole lot experience (yet).

I will be adding more content, such as combos and how you want to use certain spells in lane.
