ADCs are not weak

There's champs that are better than others sure, but don't say that the class is weak lol

You all know that if the best ADCs were nerfed then people would play the ones that you consider "weak" in exchange, the class wouldn't suddenly be replaced because they're "weak."

This has proven time and time again over the last 4 years

On a Tank/ Bruiser meta you only do CRITS of 200 damage on a champion WITh FULL BUILD. That means you need to auto attack a champion for 13-14 times (or more) to be able to kill him nowadays. Yes ADC is the weakest role on this meta. ADC's only shine on mid game when some of the bruisers still havent made their defensive items yet. item 3031 item 3046 item 3035 item 3072 item 3006 item 3026

This build does 200 CRITS on a bruiser late game. If this is not weak i dont know what is.

No, no they aren't.

Firstly - there's a lot more to archetypes being useful besides getting a high K/D/A. Marksman in particular are really solid at capturing objectives and towers even while said objectives are being defended by the enemy team. Destroying towers is 100% necessary to win, killing tanks and fighters is not.

Secondly - Marksman are the only roll you can't realistically replace in the meta. You can run without a Tank if you have a Fighter in top-lane and Jungle for a front line. You can run without fighters by having pretty much any roll in top and a Tank or Assassin jungle. You can run without an Assassin with a mage mid and a fighter in the jungle. You can run without a Mage if you go with an Assassin mid-lane. You can run without a Support if you use a Tank or Mage in the support position.

You can't substitute a marksman for pretty much anything. If Marksman could be substituted bot-lane for an Assassin, Mage, or Fighter with any regularity and they were wanning picks: sure, you could make the case marksman are in trouble. But ATM - they simply are not.

Jinx and Vayne are the only adc... that are relevant lategame. Ashe, Corki, Ezreal you name it, are useless when a fulltank Garen can still kill your ass in 6seconds. Or when Fiora decides that she want's to 2shot you. Honestly, playing adc in low/mid elo is fucking useless since your team will never peel 95% of the time and call you bad when Zed Fiora and Lee jump on you while they focus the fucking Maokai.

Correction: A lot of ADCs are being pushed out by other ADCs. Now Mordekaiser is also pushing out other carries as well.
