When they're in the game, they warp the whole fucking game around them, keep the adc alive or we lose, kill the adc or we lose, yo support be my slave always by my side, gib me all the cs and kills derpppp. No other fucking role does that.
So when people played swain bot, you guys split cs evenly? Didnt know about that one. Perhaps you can enlighten me to the more advanced strategies such as feeding gold to a fucking Janna and how she can carry with her incredible scalings. It is almost like bot lane itself was balanced around two players, one playing gold hungry damage carry that has to get spoon fed currency to be relevant and the other taking care of the most fucking fragile champion on the team. Dont get me wrong, I really wish all Adcs would get reworked so I could play Caitlyn mid, but pretending that adc on bot is somehow different from anything else on bot that isnt support is literally a delusional claim. Most popular and efficient champions that occupy bot lane and arent ADCs are Swain, that builds expensive items, Yasuo that itemizes literally as adc, Heimerdinger which deserves more nerfs that Irelia ever did, Vladimir that also itemizes expensive builds. Please tell me which duo on bot lane could afford going double bruiser and split gold without being dog shit. Tell me how many times did you support tank and won the lane? You dont hate ADC, you hate supporting.
People are sheeps and they don't play mages bot anymore, because lcs doesn't anymore. Like what the fuck. Every game one adc is feeding and is useless for the rest of the game. But if they played heimer/swain/vlad/brand/fiddle etc, they would always be useful.
Maybe, just maybe, people who played heimer swain vlad brand, played them because ADC was so dog shit they had to change their champion roster from their favorites to something that wasnt absolute dog shit. And now, when they can play their favorite champions again, they play them again. How about that? Do you seriously think that all mid mains suddenly started going bot lane just because their champions were relevant there? Mid lane is fundamentally different from bot lane, the play style doesnt fit at all.
90% of the time adcs can't do shit on their own, you always have to hold their hand to win the game.
Uhm yeah, last time adc was capable of solo play, forums were full of same shit. Can you just decide what you want?
I feel like a fucking babysitter.
Yea. Thats the point. Of support. But what ever.
And again, swain/heimer/vlad/brand/fiddle are always useful and can do shit on their own.
Sounds more like they should be nerfed than praised. Especially when you realize that you can then swap supports for champions that can afford building cheap items like tanks or mages with high base damages. Or they should just remove 5th role from the game all together and balance adc around solo play. Thats what I would prefer. Every solo laner for themself + jungler. No more support, no more freelo for "playing" janna.
They make the game unnecesarily hard. Every lane can feed, but when your adc feeds, unless you're 15/0, you won't win the game.
Yeah thats why duo lane was designed around playing fucking duo. If you play solo que as support or adc with no premade, thats on you. Quit complaining that you are so antisocial that you cant find reliable and carriable premade. Want to win your lane as solo? Play top. Play mid. Play jungle. All of these roles can give you more agency over lane than playing 1v3. And nah dont give me that bullshit "but I enjoy supporting". No you dont. There are utility mages on mid that can play as any controll support. Swap your lulu for Orianna, swap your alistar for sion, swap your fucking pyke for lee sin. You are doing same thing as before, just not relying on your lane partner. Cant handle solo lanes you say? Then quit complaining at fucking all.
When they're OP, they make the game stale and you can't ban them out, because you can just pick another adc. See season 7
So meta where Swain was 100% ban pick and only 3 carries on bot were swain vlad and brand was not stale. OKAY.
But the thing that bugs me the most are the people who are such meta sheeps that even when they get autofilled, they play adcs because that's the meta duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and then they're 0/10, when they could of easily went any champ bot and be useful.
Any champ you say? Even tanks? Champion class that relies on base damages and solo experience from lane to get ahead? A champion class that builds cheapest item builds in the game? A champion class that cant even clear drakes? A champion class that cant push because it builds no damage? Sounds very viable.
