I barely see any of those ADC's anymore. All I see is all the time. Especially in rank.

Lucian was a thing but he got gutted. Caitlyn is kind of a thing but these new ADC's took the glory Twitch got gutted Ashe her kit is boring and she feels slow Sivir is played a lot in masters due to AP supports which sivir takes advantage of her shield Miss Fortune Idk Varus gutted Urgot I'm pretty sure people don't play him cuz he's ugly pretty sure. Quinn gutted Draven he's OP why haven't I seen this champion as active as graves? Kogmaw nerf'd Ezreal Is around but not as much

And I know why people play vayne so much, because that champion has SO MUCH utility/mobility.

Edit: Tristana is going to be once again OP and over used next patch.

Only ADC's I've ever actually used for more than 10 games are Ashe, Sivir, Twitch and MF. With MF being my favorite ADC to play. Haven't seen anything other than the four listed for a while.

Yea, I wish urgot got a rework to look pretty.

MF is fine, she has a great ult, her early and late game are just a little lackluster. Her mobility is nice but an escape would frankly be preferred.

Also you forgot Tristana

I'd love to see that Riot put work on those champions that you mentioned so people start playing them more often.

I see a lot of Lucians too actually, but yea its mostly the ones you specified. Im seeing alot more Ezreal's then usual lately as well. Tristana and Kogz were like the shits for a long while, but not so much anymore. Tristy might come back due to zeh revork, but if its anything like past reworks she will either be universally hated then nerfed over and over again for no obvious reason or be actually pretty balanced and fun but no one plays her because why play a balanced champ when you can play an OP one.

Personally i would like to see more Varus's out there, he is such a fun champ. Urgot has needed a rework for a long time.

How do you not see Ezreal?

He's crazy popular and good right now.

It's Draaaven.

He's no Garen, so, he needs hands to be played. That's why you don't see him (in your elo i believe), otherwise, you'll remember how to spell his name the right way.

No I watch Streamers so I don't mention about my "Elo" I watch Annie Bot, Trick2g, Nightblue and sometimes Behkuh. This is what I see in the ADC champion select mode.

Maybe you just saw no Draven players in a unlucky streak. You can go watch fabbbyyy's stream tho.

I think the level advantage change (which increased base stats and reduced per level gain) made vayne way more popular and caitlyn way less popular.

Basically, while hp and ad went up, base damage on abilities stayed the same. So vayne, a weak laner with little use of abilities for base damage, was buffed relatively. Caitlyn, an early game Lane bully who has good damage on her q, was nerfed relatively.

Graves and ezreal are the new lucien (burst and dash), corki has always been a staple as has jinx (she's a lot weaker now it seems though). Draven is another Lane bully so probably same boat as caitlyn. Sivir is a hard counter to caitlyn so if caitlyn is less popular then I guess sivir would be, although she actually seems more popular than ever in my games.

I've seen some MF and kog'maw lately too. At master elo it wouldn't surprise me if only a few key adcs were chosen though, I mean that's typical for all roles isn't it? Like jungle especially, but mid, top and even support have their more popular choices...

Jinx Is not op and relies on her own skill and supports skill. So youre wrong about that

Lucian Was gutted...

Caitlyn Has no steroids and is horrid in all ins, shes a poke adc

Twitch Was nerfed and is only viable in the LCS pretty much

Ashe Is strong but needs gear to have kill potential, or have a good ult.

Sivir Has low range, high mana costs, can shine but its rare

Varus Has stupidly good poke and CC but has no escape, any all in will screw him.

Urgot You know why hes bad

Quinn Low range, gets harassed to death. Is a top laner

Draven Is op but needs to be fed and has a high skill cap

KogMaw Is strong with protection, needs good positioning, pretty much has to flash out of every situation

Ezreal He is strong, needs to land his Q in lane though

I haven't been playing Varus since he was first released until now, but I played him back then. What happened to him, anyway? I still like him of course, but I'd be interested to know what changed just so I might be a better Varus player.

Hmm I dunno...

I see Sivir, Twitch, Miss Fortune, Caitlyn, Quinn, Draven and Kogmaw pretty often when I'm playing.

I actually just got my first penta-kill in a normal game with free to play Varus, and it was my first time playing him that day. He's actually not a bad ADC at all, I kinda really like him.

The side effect, is he will NEVER be a first pick, because you will just get shattered on by any mobile assassin.
