I don’t understand people sometimes. Soraka is blaming me for this loss because I just farmed in lane. She blames me for only doing slightly better than MF instead of stomping her into the ground. She didn’t say anything about Morde feeding Tryn 4 kills in 15 minutes and not calling mias which lost us mid lane as well. Nope, all my fault for not doing anything but farm.
Edit: I was 4|1|2 at the end of laning and my first trip back to base I had over 3k gold.

I got attack speed boots and my next item was going to be phantom dancer. This was only a 25-30 minute game.
PD is better as 2nd item, because attack speed and crit are multiplicative stats and damage is additive. Plus, you activate your passive faster with attack speed.
The only hard CC on our team was Ahris charm. My traps can snare and Shaco can fear with boxes but that’s only if the enemy walks into them. Chances are I’m not going to get to sit still and auto attack because Ahris charm can’t stop both a fed Tryn and a fed Udyr who are rushing straight for me. I was going to take some damage in fights because our team didn’t have anybody who could stop them from doing it so life steal and I wasn’t going to get to stand still and auto attack constantly so I’d rather do more damage when I do get to attack and with my Q and R.
Also my skills as an AD carry (which I have admitted and will continue to admit is my worst role) aren’t the point of this post. The point is that Soraka was calling me bad because I was farming in lane instead of being super aggressive.
Who stands still and autoattacks as an AD carry?..
Of course you’re going to get caught like that.
And you coulda just grabbed the vamp scepter and built up PD, or even gone wriggles for that extra armor too.
And why ignite :x If you grabbed heal, or cleanse or exhaust, you could have also saved yourself.
Because I had Soraka for healing in lane and they only had two hard CCs. Why would you build attack speed if you’re not going to auto attack? That’s the only thing Cait can do late game because once you get to more than 1.3 attacks per second using any of your abilities actually lowers your DPS even if you hit two people with your Q.
I never got the chance to stand still and auto attack because my team had no CC. If you get the chance to safely stand still and auto attack as a ranged carry that’s how you do the most damage. Especially with Caitlyn. Moving lowers your damage output. If I was Ashe maybe I would run around and kite but with Caitlyn the only reason I’ll move is if I’m in danger or my target moves out of range.
Again though, not the point of this post.
So you are lowering your potential dps because you want to hit them with your Q?
The point of building attack speed is to DO DAMAGE.
If you’re not doing damage on an AD Carry, and you can’t even understand why you need to do damage, it’s no surprise you are one of the worst League blogs.
Even if you kite and attack by moving and attacking and moving and attacking you would still do a crap ton of damage because you are an AD Carry that’s critting for 300-400 every auto with a PD and you won’t even reach that AD carry.
“Moving lowers your damage output”
Well you know what, not kiting and dying lowers your damage output. To 0.
I don’t even know why I’m trying to argue this point to some terrible 900 ELO league blog baddie who won’t even understand the basics of an AD carry, but maybe other people who see this post will actually be better, unlike you.
“So you are lowering your potential dps because you want to hit them with your Q?

I’m building damage to do damage. It doesn’t lower my potential DPS at all. I was still going to build PD after that. If building attack speed first was the way to go the meta would be building attack speed until you hit the cap and then building damage. As is you farm as long as you can and buy damage first with attack speed second.
“If you’re not doing damage on an AD Carry, and you can’t even understand why you need to do damage, it’s no surprise you are one of the worst League blogs.”
I was doing damage tons of it, but my team had no way to keep me from getting insta-gibbed by fed Tryn and Udyr who were diving turrets when they had to (which wasn’t often because my team liked to fight in the jungle). That last part is irrelevant personal preference, but the fact that you were here first doesn’t make you inherently better. A day where this page doesn’t gain any followers is a rare day.
“Even if you kite and attack by moving and attacking and moving and attacking you would still do a crap ton of damage because you are an AD Carry that’s critting for 300-400 every auto with a PD and you won’t even reach that AD carry.”
You can’t kite and attack when nobody on the enemy team cares about killing anybody but you and Ahri when your team only has one reliable CC. They could just ignore Morde, Shaco, and obviously Soraka(Who wasn’t a bad player, just a dick) because they weren’t a threat. Having a PD wouldn’t have helped me kite as much as you think it would. Tryn already had one because he was so fed, MF has her passive, Nidalee is Nidalee, and Udyr is Udyr. Their team is impossible to stop with ONE CC. They can do whatever the fuck they want when they’re fed. It wouldn’t have mattered how well I did in lane because Tryn and Udry fed off of top lane and could just walk all over our whole team.
““Moving lowers your damage output”
Well you know what, not kiting and dying lowers your damage output. To 0.”
See above points about Tryn and Udry not giving a fuck in ways that Honey Badger would envy.
“I don’t even know why I’m trying to argue this point to some terrible 900 ELO league blog baddie who won’t even understand the basics of an AD carry, but maybe other people who see this post will actually be better, unlike you.”
See here’s how I know you’re just not paying attention. That picture of my ELO being in the 900s if from me tanking my ELO down to see what it’s like. Here’s a screenshot of the message telling me I have to wait 15 minutes between queues because I’m dodging more than twice in an hour I just took.
Oh, and I almost forgot, but again this isn’t relevant to the point of the post.
