Man this patch is terrible for adc players

Almost every game im seeing adcs feed.

On my last one the other team had a 1-15 jhin, before my team that a 1-9 jinx while the 7-1 lucian ended the game 9-10 and didnt do shit because our other lanes won.

Ive actually played kled bottom lane with taliyah against an ashe and she rage quitted by the end of the laning phase.

This is some really awful balance riot, you completely killed a class.

No, ADC players are just failing to adapt to not being the strongest thing at every stage of the game anymore.

Yep, champs like jinx were dominating the early game right?

This boards bias is disgusting.

Nope, instead of becoming the strongest at 3 items before now you just pick Irelia and be insanely strong as soon as you get your triforce LUL Also applies to yasuo, pretty much any rageblade ADC, and, especially, our friend Lucian .

I like it though. Since boards is now going to have to invent new excuses for losing to ADCs instead of "ADCs sooooooo disugsting they 2 shot everyone after getting half an item". Gonna be interesting to see what new bs you guys come up with xD.

yeah, "failing to adapt" sure. Let me tell you something then, junglers are just "failing to adapt" and mages also are just "failing to adapt" and bruisers "failed to adapt"

we played 4-5 adc in every single patch unless you play in low diamond/plat

and in this patch is quinn jhin lucian draven miss fortune ezreal kai sa

i don't see any differences

Critmaster Garen2 votes

i mostly see adc feed other adc.

either its an ezreal feeding lucian, or lucian feeding kaisa, or a kaisa feeding mf.

then again, thats how the game already looked before this patch. only that the adc were different ones.

Yup, its come to the point where rather than building comps to protect the adc people are building comps to dive the adc, and its working.

Ive been seeing people playing Irelia Renekton Yasuo double mages, and even Garen botlane, and they're having way more success than your average adc.

Yes, adcs were a far too dominant factor in the game, but LOL the rework went waaaay overboard in gutting them. Also on hit is god tier rn, been playing a lot of MasterYi mid top and jg, core 3 items of item 3153 item 3124 item 3748 w/ merc treads and I am melting entire teams

if your adc lost to a bot lane garen, he deserved it.

While on a basic level (kite the garen out) I get what youre saying, but Garen Blitzcrank or Garen Thresh can kill or zone nearly any traditional botlane, and because tank builds become effective a lot faster than damage builds garen easily shrugs off any poke and can turret dive very early. Plus because this is a new development botlane players (adc and support) aren't really ready to deal with this type of lane (picking a champ w/ minions that can block hooks, or spellshields). We'll have to give it time and see how everything shakes out but botlane is a shitshow currently.

The funny thing is that you can freeze lane or tower farm so easy vs this combo and then bide your time until the adc catches up, and then you are still strong late game. You can't just shove against this combo. The only difficulty to freezing is how strong some burst AD junglers/assassin mids are that can then come down and tower dive you and walk away with no damage on them. But that is more of a problem with AD burst than it is current bot meta.

I'm not upset that I can't "right click anymore for an easy penta kill after just 2 builds", I'm upset that I feel useless until the 30-35th minute..and sometimes matches would end before 25 minutes and I didn't do shit.

That is what half of the champ pool is like. So many fun champs that need a 25+ minute game to even get good. There are some champs I love that struggle through 20 minutes or more and then when they get 4-5 items they become killing machines and are so fun. When games are ending by 15-20 that gets ugly. I think the change is fine, they just need to go and tune down other champs that are snowballing still. This was a first step towards a healthier gameplay, but it is onyl going to work if they keep going in this direction for other champs.
