Remember when adcs only became a big threat when the game went past 35 minutes?

Fictional scenarios are difficult to remember.

Caitlyn has always been an early-mid game champ, even before her rework.

Draven has always been strong---only he is now considered "broken" because of items like Death's Dance.

Corki used to be a very strong mid game champ.

Varus was annoying to lane against certainly.

Sivir has always had a pretty good laning phase as well. There was a time where she was considered the single best pushing/sieging adc in the game.

Of course there were hypercarries and late-game monster adcs also such as Vayne, Trist, Kog and Twitch but those were the only ones I could think of that needed to either get ahead or farm up to about 30 minutes to be relevant (and virtually unstoppable) late game.

tfw i could care less about an 11-0 zed 25 minutes in rather than a 5-0 twitch that can delete 5 people in under 6 seconds from a huge range and stealth.

yeehaw btw.

zed ults in?

e x h a u s t .

twitch ults?

run for dear life.

Remember when games actually went past 35 minutes? Good times.

i cant remember it because it was in your imagination

Games dont even last 35 minutes anymore, of course they need to be stronger earlier.

Blame riot for the systematic changes and making games all 15~20 minute stomps instead of interesting 40 min tatical games.

yeah i remember, and it was cancer. if you snowball in any role you should be at least a semi threat. despite the circle jerk adcs are NOT as big of a threat as any other champion besides supports when on equally fed footing.

a 5/0 zed vs a 5/0 adc? that adc has to just flat out stay away from the zed unless they have outplay tools like Lucian, Vayne, Ezreal, etc.

If a twitch tries to open up on a Zed who is 5/0 as well what do you think will happen, he will immediately turn to ult him and blow his ass up. a 5/0 tank vs an adc in the mid game? what a joke dude. have you tried to kill a 5/0 tank with just IE, boots 2, and shiv or hurricane? go try it and get back to me.

Legit if a tank has like two tank items and ninja tabi you are going to tickle them even if you are fed.

And I really think people just need to understand that its not "adcs" that are unhealthy just because a few outliers have really unhealthy kits. Like Twitch is incredibly unhealthy and toxic. Very little counterplay to his kit, but would you say you have the same problem with a champ like Sivir? probably not.

There are a few really toxic adcs but there a few really toxic champs in EVERY role.

Honest answer: No. I don't remember it taking any champion taking that long to scale. If any champ took that long to scale in pretty much any meta, they would fucking suck.

You could argue that Twitch would have more pressure with stealth. But IE + Zeal Twitch won't outburst Duskblade + Ghostblade Zed, in fact it's not even close.

So, Twitch is a threat because of stealth which allows him to create winning situations for him. Well, what about the OTHER adcs?

Games don't go over 35 minutes anymore hence why ADCs have to scale with 2 or 3 items really well or be useless the entire game.

FTFY

ah you mean never, because not all ADCs are late game champions and have never been. Some ADCs are stronger in the early game, others are better in the mid game while others are only good in the late game with some being ok at all stages but rarely, if ever, the best at any

I personally think that adc's are snowballing better then assassins, because if they dominate early game they sure as hell will not fall off specially twitch

Remember when they had to sacrifice 2 item slots for and a defensive item such as old or old

remember adcs in 2k17 lul

Compared to a few seasons ago, you could actually assassinate the adc when playing assassins. Now adcs have to many defensive options. Mages only had 1, zhonias and it got nerfed to the ground. Meanwhile, adcs got like 3-5 different defensive options for which they sacrifice shit. PD gives them AS and Crit rate. BT gives them life steal and AD. DD gives them AD and life steal. Maw gives them life steal, and AD.. and for some reason cdr GA gives them AD (like, this is the worst defensive options for adcs) scimtar gives AD and life steal.

For fucks's sake. And all mages had was Zhonias........................ now we also got banshee, but that's 2 compared to the pletora of options for adcs

tfw zed the assassin is getting one shot by and
