[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=Wayne3100][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] [list] [*] I bought the flask fairly early and it was because I was standing in the lane alone trying to hold a lot and needed the sustain. I got the vamp scepter after [[Doran's Blade]] and then got IE, but I probably should have changed the order of items...and I most certainly should not have bought a second BF sword. [/list][/quote] So if I understand this correctly, you went for a [[Crystalline Flask]] [i]and[/i] [[Vampiric Scepter]] (relatively) early? I mean, Vamp is a good item for an ADC, but buying it early still delays the purchase of your first big item ([[Infinity Edge]]) by 800 gold, which is why most people don't tend to buy it unless they reeaaally need it. Flask on top of that definitely shouldn't be necessary seeing as you get health sustain from Vamp and you can solve any mana issues by spamming less or buying a [[Mana Potion]] or 2 (note that 2 potions restore a total of 200 mana while the 3 Flask charges you get whenever you base restore 180). This is also a lot cheaper than getting the Flask assuming you don't buy an absurd amount of potions over the course of the laning phase. In case it wasn't clear, the reason I was asking questions is because I feel it's a good/important thing to do when trying to improve: the question is whether you're [i]aware[/i] of why you buy certain items while you're playing (or whether you can explain it afterwards, for that matter) and what the consequences of your choices are (delayed powerspike, possible change in playstyle / shift in terms of power level compared to your laning opponent, etc.). Anyway, sorry about being demoted, that sucks x_x[/quote] I WAS buying an absurd amount of potions tbh x.x I don't generally buy flask unless I feel the need to buy a load of potions. I can explain decisions, it's just likely my logic is flawed in some ways. and meh, maybe I really am just bronze trash idk[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]I think you should be focused on using less resources to alleviate for early game disadvantages.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]generally I'm better about that with Graves, but it's harder when you're forced to stay in lane alone for extended durations.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Embracing]I think you should be focused on using less resources to alleviate for early game disadvantages.[/quote] If I'm behind as ADC I generally resort to just buying three [[doran's blade]]s.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]I think that's a bit too much :3 The only alleviation I ever get for being behind is 1 Doran's Blade. Vamp costs too much now and isn't a good option. With the money for vamp you can get a pickaxe for just 75 more.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]If you want, you can send me a replay here and I can have a look at it if I end up having some spare time over the week.[/quote]

Triple [[doran's Blade]] helps staying alive and allows you to farm easier in an already lost lane.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]Doesn't matter what game. Just record a random game with either baronreplay or OBS and upload it somewhere I can see.[/quote]
