Recently, the “Incense Burner” strategy has become popular in both casual and professional matches, but recently, there was a new AD support itemization strategy appearing in the LSPL arena, featuring a 13-minute Kog’Maw with Blade of the Ruined King + support Incense Burner starting team fights, and the outcome of this game rhythm is something we can all guess.
Starting with the Relic Shield sacrifices some laning ability to help the support earn gold right from the start, to allow the support to quickly purchase the Incense Burner while the AD carries the first major item in this extreme playstyle, as soon as both champions in the bot lane are equipped, they can take over the game, and at appropriate times, the AD can give up some economy for the support.Now let’s introduce how to use this strategy:
1. Starting Item Choices
ADC starts with Relic Shield + Refillable Potion (or 3 Health Potions), while the support starts with Ancient Coin + Health Crystal.
Advantages: The AD can help the support grow their economy faster by farming, as long as they can farm steadily without dying, the support can often return home for the first time with enough gold to buy the Nomad’s Medallion, ensuring the support’s economic source while the ADC can use the extra gold to buy major items early.
Disadvantages: Laning will be very difficult, unless there is a significant wave advantage, otherwise they will have no capital for skirmishing, and if the jungler does not come, they can only be pressured.
Summary: Although some laning ability is sacrificed, since the bot lane is primarily a farming combination, as long as last hitting is stable and the wave is controlled, the rate of economic growth will definitely be much higher than the opponents, allowing the support to quickly build the Incense Burner.
2. Champion Choices
There’s no doubt, the current most affected attack speed ADC + protective support combination, recommended combinations::
1. Kog’Maw + Lulu > Janna > Sona > Karma > Lux > Janna > Soraka.
Let’s put it this way, if the combination of Kog’Maw + Janna is 1, then switching to Lulu makes it 1.5 or even 2, countless matches have proven that Lulu is the perfect support for Kog’Maw, so try to secure her whenever possible.
2. Twitch + Lulu > Janna > Lux > …
Why is Janna placed in the third position? Janna has high durability and can not only heal but also provide shields and armor to the bound target, and has an invulnerable ultimate that can also give the AD a small AOE control. Twitch can find output positions through stealth, so Taric can be particularly effective against many AD champions, as long as Janna continuously activates her passive, she can keep healing.
3. Jinx + Lulu and other supports
Jinx’s advantage lies in her high AOE damage in team fights with her Q ability, and when the first two champions are unavailable, Jinx often performs well, as long as she can secure assists in fights, she can start snowballing.
3. Laning Requirements
Yes, there are requirements! Not just ideas!
Hard Requirements: ADC must have solid fundamentals (practice mode without items, 80+ last hits in 10 minutes!), must master at least 2 of the 3 attack speed ADCs mentioned above (Kog’Maw must be learned!), regardless of how the opponent provokes or feigns weakness, ensure your own development; the support needs to have good awareness, keep an overview of the map (look at the minimap often), ideally know the enemy’s 5-man movements without placing wards, use their mana and health to protect the AD’s development, and can only die once, dying more than that will hinder the ADC’s itemization.
Limitations: This strategy is not suitable for bot lane duos with poor fundamentals and lack of coordination; if the ADC fails during the laning phase, the purpose of starting with Relic Shield is lost; the support can die at most once before the 10-minute mark.
4. Game Preparation
There are many online talent runes, but to summarize:
Talents: ADC must take Warpath, and the support must take Blessing of the Windwalker
(ADC)
(Support)
Runes: ADC must take 3 Attack Speed Quintessences + more than 4 Attack Speed Glyphs; support must take at least 1 Gold Quintessence.
(ADC)
(Support)
Core Itemization:
AD:
Kog’Maw: Blade of the Ruined King + Hurricane + Blade of the Ruined King, Twitch: Blade of the Ruined King + Hurricane + Infinity Edge, Jinx: Infinity Edge + Hurricane + Galeforce
Support: Incense Burner + Knight’s Vow
While this strategy is good, in casual matches, if you don’t have a partner to support you, it’s better not to try this strategy lightly. After all, high rewards come with high risks, but bot lane couples/friends can quickly take advantage of this and start racking up points~
