Playing ADC isn't fun anymore.

Don't down vote immediately. Hear me out first.

If you're not playing Twitch, Jinx, Vayne, Cait, Ezreal, or Jhin, you're useless.

I tried playing a Sivir into Cait and even though I won lane, I couldn't do anything outside of laning phase. It's impossible to play another champion in bot other than those six. After a while, it's gets boring facing the same champions over and over and over again while you're stuck playing one of them. I like to play ADC's like Luc, Kali, Mf, Sivir, Draven, Ashe, and Trist but I can't. I'll just get out done by other meta favoured/OP ADC's. Sure, carrying games with a 19/2/10 KDA is fun but it's not as fun if you do it with Jhin every game. It's forced me into other lanes I don't particularly like as much. I can actually diversify my play style and champion pool in mid, top, or jungle. I can't anymore in bot.

There used to a challenge when you played bot. You always had a new enemy to face with a new playstyle and a new lane outcome. Now, it's just do the same strategies versus (Insert OP/Meta favoured Adc here) to win or draw laning phase. Supports don't help change much either because half of them do the same thing.

Well yeah, but at least you get the opportunity to "test your skill" in a 2v5 tower dive every 45 seconds! That certainly adds some fun to the role!

not to mention that as an adc you get one shot anyway so if you are not fed you cant even fight back.

hey man i keep posting varus is weak and is the one adc that actually got nerfed on the marksmen update a couple patches ago like season 6 startiung.... ohh man his ult puts 3 stacks of blight on u over time mind u not isntant over time..... so it can actually fuck up your burst.... this may seem good but it really isnt. also the base damage was nerfed by 60% .... how is that fair. then they nerfed fervor/changed it and that made varus weaker then they changed armor pent to lethlity that made him weaker. However they gave him a "buff" if you want to call it that...... who cares about his passive being increased in duration i dont. His passive sucked and was usless befoer and is useless now

I'm a Draven 1 trick, not on this account, I use this to post threads. I agree with this post, if you're not playing the metacarries, then you're pretty much useless. Even if I get a double kill with Draven in lane early, they still manage to outscale me. It also just isn't fun seeing Cait and vayne being against me every single time. Cait just has SO much lane dominance, from her w and her auto attack range. Vayne can lose lane like no bodies business, but when she builds IE and statikk, right clicks me once or twice and i'm dead. All twitch needs to do is build the same two items pretty much and get a good ult in.

(Yes i'm aware he's getting some buffs soon).

Um draven isn't meta???? he gets one kills and snowballs so hard its not funny. and Lucian is a spell based champion who is still good if you have the ability to play him right. and ashe is still good somewhat.

As a somewhat loyal Tristana /Lucian player.... meh.

Playing CERTAIN Ad carries isn't fun anymore.

Some would argue that when AD carry isn't a strong role, Sivir is dominant by virtue of her ult.
