ADC becoming weak created your own custom META. Thanks Riot!!

taleofsonata·Jun 10, 2018·26 votes·13,063 views

I can play any champion bottom lane and still make it work, it's AWESOME. I always wanted a Meta in which ADC oppression was absent, thank god riot brought us something new. This is the kind of New stuff I want in league, I just hope there is no change for ADC for awhile just let us enjoy the champion we want to play. People currently complaining I'm calling you guys bullshit... Probably all ADC mains.

Froggen even said it, hey if you can play your champion bottom lane then people really needs to STFU and play the game and enjoy it. Even imaqtipie likes how bottom lane is shifted into a free for all champion pool meta. Although picking whats strong is not always good but hey I don't care about that. Champion that needs to be looked at is Irelia and Camille tho, since they are extremely oppressive right now.

There was someone who called me a troll for going Sejuani bottom with a support. Still ended up super fed and snowballed bottom lane. helped me deal with the early ADC aggression.

I mean team comp still is important but hey, as long as someone can cc, someone can get through tanks, and someone can mow down carries you're all good in my book

Well your "support" was Miss Fortune so technically your team wasn't missing the "ADC" anyways...

I mainly play top lane, but I do play a good amount of adc, and I like the idea of having more champion diversity bot, but I don't like how big of a gap there is between the strong ADCs and the weak ones. Once they get the ADCs more closely matched then the game will be in a great spot. My friend has never liked league because he couldn't play certain champions when he got a role that they aren't "supposed" to be played in.

Agreed,game is so much fun right now,its almost like s1-s2 all over again.Best update so far,I love this game again.

Meanwhile in reality 99% of bot lane picks are Marksman and they still dominate mid/late game teamfights to a disgusting degree.

"Bruiser bot lane now" is just then new version of "ADC in 2017 LUL" untrue memes that ADC mains repeat hoping to get buffed into being beyond OP again.

I feel like adcs are allowed to dominate the mid/late game if the first 20 minutes, they're just glorified cannon minions

Yeah I was looking forward to this kind of change, but I wasn't really expecting marksmen build path to feel so sluggish, mainly due to the zeal costs. I hope they give them a little something later down the season but right now the diversity is fun. I've been seeing a lot of different builds like marksman bottom laners taking TP, jungle Lucians, double tank and figher/supp bot lane combos. It's interesting.

I feel like their strategy for season 8 was something like

"What if we made the most backwards, most incorrect as possible changes ever so that the community hates us so much that no one will play the game the way it was meant to be played therefore achieving diversity?" "Alright, let's see what the community really wants and then do the exact opposite- uhh the top complaint at the start of the season is that our turrets suck..."

And I don't know. I guess it worked.

I mean, if banner of command didn’t exist, this would be the best season in a while.

I hated season 4, but I came to terms with it. Season 5, 6, and 7 were all absolute shit.

This season is at least fresh. At least people are on their toes and it’s not the same champs played over and over. Sure there are some strong champions that need tuning, but overall I feel like the game is actually playable again (once they remove banner of command).

I agree with you except for the hot mess jungle is. Least diversity and completely unfun. The other lanes are good though.

I have mixed feelings about jungle. It has made my life as a mid/toplaner more fun because I liked to counterjungle, and it also forces more skirmishes which I love, but I have also seen how ridiculous the exp leads it creates are and I think the exp difference needs tuning.

Unless you play the top few champs it is far to easy to make junglers' lives hell. Everyone can invade super easy and with recent changes it is even encouraged. People whine about jungler ganking, it feels like every damn champ is ganking jungle unless you play a small meta pool. So many really fun champs that have been in jungle for a long time are getting completely pushed out. I love how they reduced marksmen in bot, now I wish they would do the same thing to burst AD champs in the jungle.

I honestly like that laners can now gank the jungle. It feels like more of a complete game. The weaker champs should perhaps be given small number buffs, or the stronger junglers should be tuned down.

But the problem is that adc is a whole class of its own, has been for a long time, and it requires specific practice to be good at that. You can say 1/5, probably a bit more, of all League players are adc mains. I don't know about other adcs but I'm not good enough to just simply fuck all the adc games I've had and put down a reliable performance on yasuo or mordekaiser.

That's why adcs are complaining, because the role and the champions they've taken so long to "master" cannot be easily replaced by something else.

OmellyCatJun 11, 20181 votes

I agree. I started the game maining ADC champs. I've pretty much got all of them. And now it's a completely different game when you play them. Im okay with it because I was still sort of experimenting with roles cuz I'm fairly new (not even enough champs for ranked) and I can play mid and top alright but it still sucks when you put a lot of time into one role only for it to be changed a ton.

HàrrowRJun 11, 20181 votes

You could always do that,ive went Talon and Swain bot even when there was Ardent meta and still won the lane and the game. Its just that it wont happen every time and people are sheep and will start blaming the whole game on you cause you didnt pick an adc

matthewyeJun 11, 20181 votes

But then again, champs like Kaisa who are meta could probably still dominate lane and get over 20% play rate. But then again, I'd like to see more Mordekaiser in the bot lane. Also, in patch 8.12, sheilds are being nerfed to s**t, RIP Lulu . This might mean we'll see more tankier (not tanks, just less squishy) champs to make up for it? I dunno, I'm not the best at predicting metas. I'm just a bit worried about all the changes to bot lane, but also really excited to see what happens.

Did they nerf adc?!?

I playd sivir Sivir adc and got 14 kills with my supp getting 5 and zero death

It did not feel different from sivir before this patch

Well they had tris Tristana and garen Garen bot and our jg came 2 times while their camped us

What im trying to say is that u still need an adc for ur backline but if u want then go sejuani Sejuani bot

AscendentJun 12, 20181 votes

Well glad i stopped playing, the game just sounds like aids and not fun to play anymore. Yes I'm an adc main but because I like playing those champions, this pick anything you want bot meta makes it impossible to play the champs I like, no one wants to fight tanks as an adc. So guaranteed this will be fixed or you have an entire category of champs basically useless.
