"ADC's are so OP right now!"

Aimléss··15 votes·3,245 views

I'm really sick of this argument, go play ADC for a week, and when your Brand/Lux Sup fails to peel the Nocturne or Fizz off you in the middle of your team and you die for the 100th time to that same shit, all while your team flames you for being in "melee" range, you'll come back to the boards and apologize in a post for being wrong, which no one will see since the other people who don't know any better will down vote it to oblivion and laugh at how bad you are in the comments cause you know, "Assassins can't kill anything anymore."

Like seriously quit it, I see so many games where ADC's just get completely dumpstered and can't get an AA off without getting one shot, and hey, I'm not complaining, you take the good with the bad with that role cause half the time you're the one who's trampling on the enemy unhindered; but to make the argument that ADC's dictate the game nearly every game is wrong, and the boards needs to cut it out. The game is too snowbally in general, but that's not an ADC problem it's a LOL problem.

And to the 10 people who see this before it's downvoted to oblivion, good morning! :)

Thank you for posting this, so many people on this boards believe adcs are somehow solo carrying the game, when its so far from the truth, we are mostly there for the ride, first we just pray we didnt get a shitty supp, cause tbh they have more influence on wining lane than adcs, and then we either get shitstomped by enemy team or vice versa.

Good morning!

I keep saying that the game's roles are generally pretty balanced right now. People only feel that the game is more snowbally because it's more consistent because of all the objectives. Seriously, a few mistakes will cost you the game so that's why it feels that way.

I'd take more consistent games over those 55 minute matches anyday though.

I have 10x the fun in a 50 min game than in a 15 min one.

Or at least slight more than 3x the fun, amiright? XD

I recommend you go back in time and convince the board to not complain CONSTANTLY about wanting more consistent games then. Riot didn't take action on their own.

yeah so balanced [slayer-jinx-unamused] mages that scale ap do more damage full ad O.o, the post game graphs confirmed this :/ roles are pretty unbalanced atm. mages lost their purpose, actual fighters as well since tanks cause the same damage while having more CC and can soak more damage -.-

Because you start off with ad and not AP

What a stupid post OP.

It’s like saying a Gun with 4 loaded bullet isn’t deadly because it can’t kill 5 people.

ADC are OP because if played correctly with the team, the impact is insane. This is why, of all the roles/classes, ADC is the only one that must be present in every game.

There is probably 1% of pro games without an ADC. Even that 1% it is usually because of some outlier like Mord. Yet every other lane, you can see multiple classes

-Support role can be played by mages, tanks..etc -Top can be played by bruisers, mages, and tanks. On occasions you will see ADCs as well -mid you will se assassins, ADCs, tanks, and mages. -jungle...ADCs, tanks, bruises, and AP champions

That’s why they are OP. Because the comp you build tend to revolve around the ADC class

If played correctly.If you are not Diamond , master or Challenger , you are not playing adc corectly , meaning that 90% of all Players are not playing adc correctly , meaning that adc aint really overpowered.Also , every role can have insane Impact ,the 5 Man knockup as Support ,the barronsteal as jungler , the Oneshot as midlaner , Splitpushing and getting multiple objectives as toplaner...

Also adc is not played because its "insanly overpowered" but because adcs are the only class that is really able to take Towers ( how would 5 melees take a Tower)

Also , if played as a Team.Most of league is a soloque / normal game , with randome People which you most likly have never ever seen before.how can you expect teamsyngery and peel?

And lastly , teamcombs are not build around adc´s.Sure , some (Like hypercarrycombs) are but Overall they are just not.there are so many combs that can be played.Splitpushing combs , Teamfighting combs , Catchcombs , Earlygame combs , Lategame combs.

I remember I auto'd a minion while playing adc when we were pushing mid and I was behind. I killed the minion when their Lux flash Q'd onto me and deleted me with her combo. My support just kinda watched and put in chat "WHY ARE YOU ENGAGING?!" [sg-ahri-1]

Hahahaha... that's the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title was "Have none of the people who keep saying this seen what happens when even a well fed ADC gets anywhere near a Fizz with at least 1 item?"

People over estimate the adc class alot, even though they’re the most vulnerable in the game. Can they solo carry? Yes, but it’s much harder to do so than solo carrying as mid or jungle. People also forget that adcs are dependent on their supports to make plays they can follow up on. A good support can make a shitty adc look a godsend while a bad support can make a good adc look like garbage. Most bad support i’ve came across were usually lux and brand players.

Maybe it's supports that are the problem? Over the years, their gold income has probably doubled compared to everyone else. Also riot introduced new op support items that give most benefits to the adc.
