New Runes Neutering ADCs..

(disclaimer, not sure if this is the right section for this, but it effects my gameplay, so...)

I know alot of people might have an issue with this, but alot of ADCs are basically neutered by the new runes.. there are far and few between any runes that add AD in general.. its all Attack Speed, but not attack damage.. the few runes that actually increase attack damage take FOREVER to get you any increased AD, and we already have more than enough Attack Speed items.. even crit heavy champs are hurt, because what good is crit if your attack damage is lower? double nothing is still nothing... i main Jinx, and yes she was low tier before, now she's almost worthless, i barely do any damage at all, even rushing the BF sword, and trying to min-max the runes and such, i am doing half the damage i used to.. [slayer-jinx-unamused] Riot, if you could look at buffing AD or adding some AD runes, that'd be great! [slayer-jinx-catface] [slayer-jinx-wink]

Other than the usual tank complain. Last season ADCs were over talked and literally ruled the meta.

Not really sure what the problem is. Yes you have more attack speed than before, but you still have the same amount of ad (ad champs got 8-8.5 base ad and ad marks got you 8.55 before).

It could be that everyone else is busted now and ADC's are basically in the same place.

It might've just balanced things out with runes.

i'm judging based on end game graphs mostly, along with in game experience to a lesser extent. but before the update, i could do 20-30k total even in games we'd lose, now i'm barely pushing past 10k, win or lose.. i'm willing to admit it might be that i haven't figured out the runes system perfectly, or just haven't adjusted to the new meta yet, but from current experience i feel very neutered.. (that's the only word i can think to describe it)

Those are some extreme drugs you're taking, my friend.

I can't refute this directly bit I can still refute it with press the attack. After 3 autos, you deal bonus damage for 6 seconds.

after autoing ONE champ, you deal more AD to that ONE champ. it isn't in general. it cant swap between other champs or minions.. as i said in a previous comment, my max damage at the end of game was reduced by 1/2 -- 1/3
