Unpopular Opinion: Ninja Tabi is meta because ADC's are just too strong

LVL99 Helper TK··4 votes·559 views

Title says it all, really. In my view, the only reason Ninja Tabi is "so good" is because ADC class is more broken than ever. Ardent was bad, but i think Runes Reforged made the game all about adc, see the million different options adc class has (other classes just have "meh, I guess this works" kind of options).

Ninja tabi is probably in a similar strength to merc treads. Merc treads aren't meta because the primary CC is displacement and AP champs don't solo carry games.

so we're gonna nerf the only thing kind-of sort-of keeping adc's in check. Why? Here's why:

  1. Meddler mains ADC (he's only gold 4)
  2. ADC's abuse ninja tabi (ring any bell?)

Oh what's that? Conqueror has been gutted before it even hit live? Gee, I wonder how long this piece of monster void shit game will last when the gameplay is essentially 8 useless monkeys and 2 literal gods right-clicking everything to death

Way to completely ignore top laner bruisers and assassins, 2 classes who are completely fucked by tabi being this broken.

But its all about the adc, what is a bruiser right? All this board knows is how to complain about adcs, never mind bruisers auto losing to a 1100 gold item in lane.

You know that if they nerfed tabi really hard, then adcs might actually become a lot weaker, as now they would only have a 2400 gold ga to defend themselfes from divers or assassins, rather than a 1100 gold item that anyone can buy without delaying their build, and not only that, but divers/bruisers would be able to maybe snowball of a lead more often when the tank cant just "lol first back tabi" you out of laning phase.

This isn't just an ADC problem anymore, its an AD problem. Zed Talon Edited to add Illaoi to the broken fucknig garbage list.

how can Zed and Talon do their job and kill squishies when 2K hp shields are in every game, specifically to castrate assassins.

Zed has a very strong laning phase - too strong. Now he gets buffs to his late game too?

Instead of buffing assassins we should just fix ADC's which of course means reduce their power. We should also reduce shielding power. Do both of those things and you no longer need to buff assassins.

I don't have much opinion on shield strength in general, is there something specific that stands out?

Problem with Zed is his lanephase becomes shit once you get to high elo. His damage falls off really quick to armor items outclassing lethality aswell. That's the main reasons he's not played much in masters+.

Also the buffs to his R % damage wont be noticeable since he's losing a ton of damage in his kit with the changes on pbe. Zed is actually getting nerfed

I'll believe it when I see it. But he's staying on my most frequently banned list until i do.

Eh, I don't really go out of my way to buy them unless the enemy has a fed AD assassin

Why do people feel the need to announce that their opinion is unpopular?

The affect that building tabis in top lane, mid lane, and jungle is completely independent from ADCs.

Wait for the new top laner rune.

A lot of the issue is runes reforged gutted top and nerfed mid - no more thunderlords or fervor? Nothing left but ADCs and AD assassins.
