Intriguing Intro

Hello, and welcome to my third guide on MobaFire, if you haven't seen my previous guides yet, check them out on your right side.

So, why did I make a guide on ? Well, lately I've wondered what to buy as my next ADC champion, and my friend just happened to suggest it to me. I knew that I've played a few times when I was noob, so I wanted to try her out again, since I'm a heck lot better now. It turned out, my choice was right, buying was one of the best things I've done in League of Legends. Take it from me, if you're gonna buy ADC, buy either or .

Why do people play ? Well, has a really good late game, with a short cooldown escape spell, . It allows her to escape out of ganks much easier than non-escape spell ADCs. (though the range is quite small)

Now, without further a do, let's get started!

Inevitable Summoner Spells

, cannot be replaced, no matter the circumstance.
Best summoner spell in the game. Level 1 gank? FLASH! Trust
me, guides wouldn't leave out , ever.

SPACEEEEEEEEEEE

is a very interesting summoner spell, most of
us think of it as a cc remove, and it is what you think it
is, super helpful against hard cc's like 's ultimate.

Viable Summoner Spells

Help secure kills and counter the
summoner spell . Also, if
your opponent has a passive support
like , her heal is reduced
by a huge amount!

GAP

Helps you get a little health
back, in my opinion, this is
a bad ADC summoner spell. If
you get ignited, this spell
is almost useless.

GAP

Allows you to have the
upperhand in 1v1 battles,
most of the time, your
support should haveve acquired
this summoner spell.

Profitable Runes

: Very helpful for , as I said before, has a very low base AD and a hard time early game, with this rune, you'll last hit and harass easier.
: Standard. 'Nuff said.
: Someone like can't deal as much damage to you.
: Must-need.

Viable Runes

greater mark of desolationgreater quintessence of desolation

greater mark of desolation: Helps fight against ADCs or supports that has really high armor at level 6 or somewhere after 6. Example and .

: Not recommended for me, but it's a good choice, helps max out your true damage stacks ASAP.

: I would take AS glyph than AS mark, I find mark more useful for offensive. And so, this is a better choice.

: Supports or APCs that deal more damage mid-late game. Example and

greater quintessence of desolation: Pretty good, but I think needs more attack damage early game.

In-Depth Look at Items

SPACEEE

SPACEEEEE

This is the starting item of any champion, we always choose to
start with this item because it gives good sustain when we don't
have a passive support and it gives good movement speed for .

SPACEEE

SPACEEEEE

This is the early game items which you should be aiming for if
you're not too ahead. The item build below will show what to
build if you're ahead of your foe. So, here we build 2
for health and attack damage, then we go for
a for the attack speed bonus it gives.
This extra 25% attack speed bonus is just really good for ,
it allows you to max your true damage stacks really fast and
it can help you dominate in lane with the extra movement and
attack speed.

SPACEEE

SPACEEEEE

This is the early game fed items. As you can see I maximize
damage at a early level so then I can scare away my opponent.
Then I choose for extra movement and
attack speed. Finally I top it off with life steal, so I can
have infinite sustain in lane. (of course, unless I'm out of mana)

SPACEEE

SPACEEEEE

This is the mid game items. By mid game, should be
a pretty big threat, of course if you play well, you don't have
to go for so soon, but if you're not that good
at using your and , switch out
for it. But you'll have a pretty big damage loss. If you do decide
to take the path, take it on your own risk.

SPACE

SPACEEE

This should be your end game build. Unless you're really ahead
and the enemy team builds no armor (impossible), switch out
for , with the new update
on it allows good armor penetration while
having a good attack damage bonus. Now, to the defense item,
choose if you find you get focused too much,
and get if you get cc'd a lot. It all
depends on the champions you're playing against, build what
counters them the most.

Laning Opponents A-Z (ADC and Support)

In this section, I'll only be talking about the most difficult ones or the most common and providing tips on how to counter such pair ups.

ADCs

Difficulty: 4/5

is pretty scary to all ADCs, because of that range of her's (650). It makes her very hard to reach and very deadly. But there's always a way to counter, you have to make sure you get last-hits without getting hit by her, and dodge her Q by side-stepping. When your minion wave reaches your tower, try to 'freeze' the lane so that would be forced to go somewhere else for the risk of being ganked by your jungler. If you can't quite 'freeze' the lane, tell your jungler to come bot more often then he has to, even if he doesn't get a successful gank off, WILL be scared of being ganked. IMO, just farm until you're level 6, because 's the most deadly level 6 there is.

Difficulty: 3/5

I don't really find challenging to lane against, because of the fact that you just have to stay behind your minion wave and farm. He has the same attack range as you, so he can't harass you as much as can. I choose to go super aggressive on when I hit level 6 and bought my early game items, I do this because, with my ultimate and I can dodge his skillshots and deal damage to him at the same time. Although I'm not sure of this, but if can stop 's ult, do it! It'll help you a heck lot!

Difficulty: 5/5

I made the most difficult to lane against because of his passive and his early game burst damage. has a good attack speed bonus with his E, which gives him the upperhand before 6. To counter this, farm farm and farm, never go aggressive on , you'll regret it hard. Try to ask your jungler to gank once or twice so then you'll be ahead of him, or else, never go 1v1 with early game.

Difficulty: 5/5

I think 's probably the only one that can have a chance with late game. They both have % of health skill and very high burst damage. To counter this, play a little aggressive than you usually would, try to tell your support to zone out of farm range, and whenever you hit level 6, just go straight in, beats before level 10.

Supports

Below are all 5/5 difficulty.

Same thing as his makes you insane. Ban him if you know you won't be able to get it first.

I really hate , his pull and punch combo just makes your life twice as miserable. It is the reason why he gets banned 97% of the time. To counter this, tell your captain (first guy on your side) to ban no matter what, unless he has and he's first pick. Other wise, don't be stupid and think you'll get it second.

I find annoying instead of powerful, her snares are pretty long and can make you go mad if she lands them right. Just try to dodge, I know you probably won't dodge it 100%, but try. Tell your support to place a ward in the opposite brush, so you'll see it when she activates the skill.

so op! He has a stun, armor/ad/ap buff, and a heal. He's probably the worst support you go against (other than and ). To counter this, you should stay out of his stun range, which means you must play once to know his range, then you should be safe. Just aware that if he does stun you and you're in life threatening danger, use , it's why you even have it.

Same thing as . has really good abilities to be a support, she has a snare, knock up, and free wards. What's not to like?

Ending notes: I think is best with as a support. 's speed buff is like a free at early levels and when it's maxed it's a free . Also, 's ice balls slows down the enemy's attack and movement speed, which is really bad for the opposite ADC. Lastly, his ult. If your enemy tries to get out without flash, you just them back in.

Tips & Tricks

Tumble as much as you can during your ultimate, because it makes you go stealth for 1 second, and being untargettable for 1 second is huge!
Remember to Condemn enemies into walls to activate the 1.5 second stun.
When chasing down low-health enemies, you can activate your ultimate for that extra passive movement speed bonus.
Try focusing the closest to you, even if it's the tank, as long as your positioning's good, you're good.
Do not ever attack people with Thornmail, you'll end up killing yourself.
