Should Riot do something about ADC? Again?

Hello,

Only 5 ADC have above 50% win rate. I may be just a stupid gold player, but there seems to be something wrong with that. When you play any "crit" ADC and you are not super ahead, you can't really do anything. Was there some announcement that I've missed? Are they working on something? Or is this considered a healthy change - moving away from "crit" ADCs that have been strong for too long?

Some Marksman were simply un-effected by these changes since they don't really build Crit.

Ezreal Kaisa

I think Marksman are in a decent spot atm, but if they prove to be too weak Riot might give a small buff to each champion seperately that is underperforming where they lack power instead of attempting to buff all champions through one buff.

I'm not saying that that's what Riot will do 100% but that's how I think they should approach this if they are even going to do this in the first place.

From my experience, I think Varus could receive a buff, even if it's a minor one. He's been quite underperforming compared to other Marksman, additionally he has been sitting in the 47% - 48% winrate.

Where's as Kaisa Ezreal Draven are exceeding the winrates of above 50%.

Kai'Sa = 52.32% WR Draven = 54.14% WR Ezreal = 52.38% WR

And most of the other unmentioned marksman are below 50% winrate.

The item changes just went through -- I suspect we'll need at least a week or two for people to adapt to the new scaling, combat capabilities, and build paths before we really see where things fall.

Also, the ADC pool's winrate statistic is completely screwed over, don't trust it too much. ADCs facing only ADCs in 95% of the cases will always means one loses and one wins, evening out far more than any other lane which holds a large amount of variations between champion classes.

Tanks, Juggernauts, Wardens, Enchanters, Mages, Assassins, each of these can face off against multiple other classes far more often, therefore better clarifying who's OP and who's not, but every game has an ADC on both sides.

To be honest they could use further nerfs, probably all of them. They'll still be at 50% average anyway.

In the future, this discussion would have been better posted in Gameplay, since the Discuss the Boards relates only to Boards topics.
