Can we allow crit ADCs to play the game again please?

Right now crit ADCs need to spend so much to come online at all. It's not really about your non-crit opponent coming online sooner, it's more about the feeling of doing 30 damage per auto attack to the tank with 3000 HP. And unless you're snowballing you don't get to play at all.

And since ADC items cost 800g more, it makes it feel that much worse when your jungler runs wherever you're farming just to steal whatever scraps of gold you come across.

I understand the whole thing about having to get kills now to be relevant but when you reach the ELO you're supposed to be at, you aren't going to be snowballing in most games and being completely irrelevant for the 9/10 games when someone else is getting their turn to carry feels so bad.

It feels like they still should be able to do something before 15 minutes. Even Karthus/Tryndamere/Master Yi/Soraka/etc. get to play the game before 15 minutes despite being late game carries.

Pffft.

The changes were supposed to make adcs, especially crit adcs ramp up over time. But when games are finished in 20 mins. Late game doesn’t exist. At all. Which makes the whole adc change stupid as hell.

Getting kills is prevalent if your a champ designed around it (Ie: Draven). If you're playing a crit adc, focus less on harass and killing and more on CS. Your ultimate goal is 200 cs at 20 or 300 cs at 30 min. Yea, the jungler will probably tax your wave, and yes, you might die and get set back, but aim for that goal and you'll find yourself be just as effective.
