Burst Marksman

HoaxMuffin

There are a lot of marksman that are dominant in late game but what if they go againts a fully build Tank like Khufra or Minotaur? Will they be able to clean off the enemy by themselves or backup is required? Let's spark up 3 Marksman on this thread. Karrie, Granger, and Lesley. These three are well known in burst damage mid till late game. Would like to get your thoughts on which hero is the most effective in late game.

Karrie is favorable but reliant. Oh well, all marksmans always rely on their tanks or heroes that have high durability like Thamuz or Terizla. Karrie already have a painful passive skill plus if she's fully build even Grock would melt in less than 10 secs. Unlike Karrie, Granger is already a threat from early to late game. His 1st skill is like a rupture in the heart and especially his ultimate. Granger users likes to spam his ultimate as much as possible becuase the damage is outragous if it consistently hits 3 times.

I think a fully build Granger can eliminate a Marksman, Mage and Assassin with just his ultimate. Haven't tried it but if someone already did this please let me know the results. Lastly, Lesley the mother of early burst. I noticed that most players don't buy Phantom Scarlet but rather they buy Thunderbelt. Phantom Scarlet gives additional attack speed and critical damage while Thunderbelt gives mana and true damage. True damage can be overpowered by attack speed and since Lesley has a sneaky 1st skill and passive she just can ease out enemies from behind but in regards to fighting againts a full item tank she might need Thunderbelt and Malific Gunner.

Clint would be part of the discussion but he is far from their effectiveness in game. Clint is still feeble but then again it all base on how good the user is managing their skills. But season, Clint isn't used in high elo so that's why I didn't put him along with those three. Respect to Clint users!

Anywhowho, these three marksman are the definition of burst and penetration but which one do you think is the best?

As much as I love Granger, I would go for Karrie this time. Karrie really dominates late game with her true damage capabilities. Not only she would deal tons of damage but she can also take damage as well. Karrie is a threat to all tanks, honestly. She can both sustain her health as she rip through the enemy tank's armor.

I wouldn't neglect Lesley, of course, but for the current meta, Karrie is superior.

Granger is good if you have good aim, but he's not really that good against tank, squishies on the other hand, even his skill 1 could delete any squishies in seconds... If he hits them. And i think he's the easiest Marksman to snowball, because as soon as you get bloodlust/blade of despair, you can dominate any teamfight with gold advantage.

Lesley is like she always is, bursty early game, heart attack inducing damage at late game. And chasing her when she's invisible is annoying for assassins because we can't lock her at all.

Clint is actually pretty good if you manage to stall the game to a very late game, i just had an epic comeback with a good Clint, at first he's pretty much just weaker Lesley, but at late game his mobility and burst damage is strong enough to burst Gusion before he even gets to him.

Burst wise - Granger of course. Damage is insane.
Tank melter - Karrie (nobody can take this from her, ever. lol)
And Lesley is just Lesley, She is good but on this topic she seems the least.

And i vote for Granger since he is viable from early, mid to late game. He doesn't really rely on items or backups, all he need is a good aiming and escaping.

Granger Can overpowered any markman even karrie n lesley, karrie cant kill lesley becoz when she is in invisible mode no lock system work and basic attack is useless in invisible mode, but in case of granger lesley invisible mode is no threat to him becoz Granger skill can able to aim manually, Biggest weakness of Granger is close to close combat like Karrie, moskov, etc can , if he miss his first skill u better must run, no option to fight his basic attacks is so dammmm slow so no used compare to other mm, Granger is good in long range attack his ultimate is nightmare in team fight, he can able to hit multiple hero with his utimate and damage also insane, Granger is good in early n mid game, I choose Karrie, moskov lesley in late game, but my favorite is GRANGER lol.

Karrie is the most damage on early, mid and late game. Explode all tanks with the real damage. Fully completed ADC..

granger can kill tank when he has bloodlust axe, blade of despair and berserker fury. the damage is just insane. also you can add more critical damage with marksman emblem.
