I don't like these "ADC's are broken Threads" right now....
No, it's not cause i disagree, clickbait!
It's because they were broken for over 6 months last season and never received any significant nerfs to compensate. All of the ADC's in the roster(maybe not Kalista) were, at some point last season, broken. Near the end of the season, if my memory serves me right Tristana was the main pick or ban ADC but the thing is that this cycle has been repeating for a very long time.
ADC's are Broken, okay let's nerf them without touching their items. Oh, ADC are weak, let's buff them without touching their items. Oh, Assassins burst them to fast? Okay, let's buff ADC's AND nerf Assassins at the same time. Assassins aren't strong enough? Okay, let's buff their ITEMS(Key right here). Oh ADC's are abusing another item? Let's nerf the items.
Do you see the problem here? The reason ADC's were so Dominant last season was because of the buffs that Support's and Themselves have gotten to both their Champion Pool and their Items. But for some reason all of the nerfs relating to them, are only to the Champions, meaning when one ADC was nerfed, move to the next one that builds roughly the same. The same can be said for Support's who were also extremely dominant last season, but that's for a different thread.
Right now ADC's are broken but so is everything else, we finally see their winrates drop again, but most of them have pretty high winrates to be fair and the only reason their's dropped is because everyone elses increased.
To fix this i think that the Gold Value for ADC"s needs to be looked over, 4 of the most powerful crit items in the game cost 2600 gold. For a class that's supposed to Farm for the vast majority of the game, that's pretty damned cheap. And while, yes i know that some ADC's don't build Crit, most do right now.
Go to OP.GG and look at the top builds for every ADC, like i just did. This is what you find.
2 ADC's build On-Hit 2 ADC's Build Lethality 2 ADC's have Unique Builds(Ezreal and Kalista) 10 Build Crit
And all of these champions CAN build crit, if they want to, they just scale better individually with alternative builds. A good thing to note is Jhin is one of the 2 champions that builds Lethality, thing is he also builds Crit Items alongside it.
Now on to Critical Hit Damage, it's way to high for the state in the game that they get 50%+ at(the point where Crit Matter's, which for most takes 2 items.) Basically if an ADC builds Infinity Edge+Runaan's Hurricane(Or any other Zeal Item, cause it varries) they get 50% crit chance, a nice boost to AA Speed and will have 160+ AD(assuming their level 11 and are Twitch cause that's who's stats i used) so if they crit, remember they have a sizable AA Speed now, they'll do 160+250% of your damage, that's a lot, that's like half of most people's HP at level 11.
Also, do you guys actually know how Crit works in League? It's not actually by Chance, instead your chance to Crit increases the more times you DON"T crit, here's a Qoute from the Wiki Page on Crit for League of Legends.
"Critical strike chance will adjust dynamically based on the number of basic attack that didn't critically strike. At 30% critical strike chance, if you basic attack without critically striking, your critical strike chance will temporarily be increased to 60%, and if you fail again, it will be increased to 90%, then to 100% if you fail again. The critical strike chance increase will reset whenever you critically strike."
YOU CANNOT FAIL TO CRIT! You are 100% guaranteed to crit, eventually, that's how crit works in this game, that's why i say when you have 50% crit is when it starts to matter the most at 50% your going to crit atleast every 2 Auto's(Most of the time, sometimes you'll crit on your 3rd auto but in testing that very rare).
So your telling me, i'm 100% guaranteed to deal 250% bonus damage every 2 auto's? And all i have to do is pay 5000 gold?! Oh i won't forget you Essence Reaver considering several champs still buy it, so i'm 100% guaranteed to deal 200% bonus damage every 2 Auto's, Restore a portion of my mana, AND i get 30% CDR for free for just 5000 gold!? Wow! THAT"S AMAZING!
TLDR: Crit needs to be changed, so does Marksmen Itemization Prices, this would probably solve most of our ADC problems now. I could go into some ways to change crit damage but i'd rather not right now cause that's not what this post is about.
