Hey guys, I have recently been struggling with playing Sparrow in my games. I am unsure what to do a majority of the time. It really feels like if my support doesn't want to help me, then I don't get to play the game. While that is true for a lot of ADCs, I have noticed that it is especially true with Sparrow. I typically go the standard build of Storm Breaker into Sky Splitter. If I'm feeling spicy, I also do Malady into Deathstalker.
Any tips people can give me?

  1. Never build malady or death stalker again. Please take my word for it you. Carry items are so top heavy at the moment you’re doing yourself and your team a disservice by not using them
  2. Sparrow doesn’t have any evasive abilities like Kira, Murdock, TB, so it’s significantly harder to escape. You’re very dependent on your support to protect you unfortunately
  3. Build pacifier on her. Pacifier is a dash that’ll allow you to escape fights more
  4. Lightning Hawk, Tainted Rounds, sky splitter, demolisher, dust devil. Storm breaker into sky splitter is also strong but early game crit will give you a better chance to stay ahead instead of slowly scaling your storm breaker stacks

Also for max order, I typically do R-Q-E-RMB
Is that fine?

Yes that poke is super good. Try to get good at preserving your mana and holding onto your Q. You dont want to do damage with your Q you just want the slow effect that comes from it. I'd max your RMB (the poke) first. Then E, then Q
