In PowerPoint form.

2. Introduction
 AD is a complex role, but it has many nuances and late game
it’s the backbone of your team.
 Laning Phase can be either a breeze or extremely complex depending on
your champion.
 Most impactful late-game champion, meaning AD Players have to be on
point late game, as your mistake is the most likely to cost your team the
game.
 Itemization is most important on AD Champions, thus farming is essential.
 It’s very easy to blame your Support/Tank for your death. Most of
the time it’s your fault.
 Think what YOU could have done to survive.
 If you must give your Tank/Support advice, be positive & constructive! ☺

6. Laning!
 General Laning
 Your main objective while in Lane is to out farm the enemy AD
Carry.
 Out CS
 Kill the Enemy AD Carry or Support.
 Bully the Enemy out of Lane.
 How do I choose to be assertive?
 Time your harass with creeps dying, forcing their AD to choose
from retaliating your harass and missing a creep or getting the
creep and giving you free harass.
 When do I kill towers in lane?
 Pushing the tower in a winning lane is can bad, because it gives
them the chance to recover since they have more room to farm.
So, if you can, kill the tower when you are either neutral or losing!
 Be mindful of your position. Ganks are always a threat!

players

‘Kill Lane’ compositions
 Revive + Smite

10. Itemization
 Infinite Edge
 Core Item in most scenarios
 Blood Thirster
 Provides sustain and counters thornmail.
 Last Whisper/Brutalizer
 Mandatory late game item. LW if enemy averages over 120 Armor. Brutalizer if
under 120 Armor.
 Phantom Dancer
 Strong if stacking Dorans. Also strong if being ignored in team fights.
 Considered ‘Core Item’ on most champions.
 Trinity Force
 Great Item on ‘Ability Centric’ Champions. (Corki, Ezrael)
 Quick Silver Sash
 Counters CC oriented compositions
 Guardian Angel
 Great item if you can afford it Post-45 minutes, as team fights at this time will
usually decide the game. Only good for 1 team fight late game, then sell it &
replace it.
