Carry and defensive items , why ?

[quote=AnIh]Hello , i have one question i really cant answer : why ppl who play carry totaly refuse to buy ANY defensive items even when they clearly die too fast to a fed guy and a quicksilver sash/banshee/GA with save them and your telling them to do so countless time, they keep buying offensive items but are not even able to use since they die too quickly , some even buy mejais ... so why ppl think defensive items are tank reserved ?[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]I think its because they are just trying to outdamage everyone because they can't kill you if they're dead. Of course this totally is based on how good your tank is, and how well he protects you.[/quote]

[quote=AnIh]Well i dont think there is any way you can kill vlad before he kill you as teemo by stacking offensive stats xD[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]I've done it as TF all you need is your gold card, SOTD and Black Cleaver.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Maybe it's just the retards you end up with. Almost everybody I know (unless solo que sometimes) will buy defensive items if they need to. I won't waste money on defensive items unless completely necessary and worth my money.[/quote]

[quote=jdubea][quote=AnIh] Well i dont think there is any way you can kill vlad before he kill you as teemo by stacking offensive stats xD [/quote] If you're buying pure offensive items on teemo you're doing it wrong Even going pure offense, you get wits end/bloodrazor which gives armor/MR. Then a nifty wriggles will help (idk how much anymore though).[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Sometimes I feel like I'm going to die anyways in team fights so I might as well put down as much dmg as possible before I die.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Better to not die and do minimal damage than to die and have done minimal damage. If you find yourself dieing already you're not going to be doing any better by getting even more AD or AP. I have no clue why people are so stubborn and close-minded on how set their build is.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]Its a mentalilty we kind've learn in school. For example 2+2=4 Why? because it does, so people assume because this has worked for a couple games then it always works unless they have a bad day.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]A lot of people are stuck with the "buy more AD" mindset and don't see how good a simple Banshee's Veil is. If you're winning the game decisively, there's one way for the enemy to win a team fight and that's taking you out. If they don't, they lose the teamfight again, no question. They've died too many times to come close to your team's fighting ability. Therefore it makes a lot more sense to invest in defensive items to keep yourself alive to destroy any small chance of them jumping on you and killing you instantly during the fight. You don't need to build AD - with the AD you have, you WILL win the fight as long as you stay alive (this assumes that you're reasonably well off in terms of your item build).[/quote]
