Can't we just nerf Crit?

Warlord Dienekes2 votes

Honestly, easiest way to make counterplay (in my mind, anyway) is to remove crit and instead have adcs need to do things to do more damage. Caitlyn's traps and headshots being the best example of how it's done currently. You know give them something to play with and the enemy to play around.

No. Don't give them anything to compensate for the lost crit damage, the game has a serious problem with damage creep in general right now.

Remove crit. Full stop.

If the RNG factor of dodge was too much, then crit is too much.

I agree with the first part.

But Jhin is the prime example of a healthy Adc, bot Cait.

Cait herself shouldn't be able to crit at all, she should just get her headshots more often as the game goes on. Vayne should have Silver Bolts as her passive, and they should scale with Crit, while again preventing her from Criting at all.

Step 2 would be using these 'alternate scallings', think Ashe and Jhin, to rework Crit into a different stat altogether.

Well wouldn't Cait not being able to crit go with removing crit?

You're right that Jhin's 4th shot thing is a good version of crit done right. But I'm not really sure if I count Vayne's Silver Bolts.

The goal, as I see it, is to make both the adc and the opponent have room to maneuver around each other to try and either get maximum damage in or avoid the damage of their enemy.

Silver Bolts doesn't really do that very well. Vayne just autoattacks and her autoattacks become so fast that there's really not much that can be done to avoid it.

Too big of a change to happen at once: -It's harder to implement without first experimenting on some champs -People are more averse to it

Silver Bolts are actually the healthies part of Vayne. Her biggest problem is being too ult realiant, where she is a monster with it and useless without it.

Warlord Dienekes1 votes

I think now we're talking about two different things. You're going with "is Silver Bolts overpowered?" And come up with, it isn't.

I'm more concerned with "Does Silver Bolt's design create interesting play and counter-play?" And I don't think it does. Maybe it would if it took more than half a second for Vayne to attack three times. But as is, it's pretty braindead design.

Tryndamere Yasuo >:(

actually... yeah lets nerf crit

Salson1 votes

Joke's aside, Yasuo could lose the -10% Crit debuff as compensation. Tryn has a 52% winrate, so he would still be fine.

It's funny because Xayah is probably the best ADC out of all of them but you think she is ok.

Xayah has both an amazing lane(not as good as old caitlyn but still top tier) and an amazing late game(again not as strong as twitch but not too far off either). If you pair her with Rakan she is the best laning ADC in the game right now.

maybe you misread the comment on quinn rather than xayah? and the quinn comment sounded like a sarcastic "ok" than a genuine "ok" if that makes any sense. xayah was being complained about as having too much poke for free.

Xayah is completely disgusting but ok.

I think xayah is the most broken adc right now. Pick or ban in worlds and pick or ban in soloque

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

Mainly because she's an anti-burst marksman, which is extremely valuable whenever there's a lot of burst around (which is every match in #yoloQ). It's kinda like how Rammus is an anti-marksman tank.

Draven q should work like fervor of battle, where its damage ramps up over subsequent axe catches, instead of being a frontloaded massive bonus.

he also still needs a rework to his passive. its just garbage feast or famine design. he either snowballs way too hard off it, or he dies with a lot of stacks and gets shit on, because he can never recover that loss.

PePsiLemoNN2 votes

That would be dumb af but ok.

@Everyone about Xayah: She can be really strong if played right, but she also has the ability to be out-played. Side stepping her Q and making sure not to stand between her and her feathers to minimize the power of her E greatly reduces her damage.

Urgot I used to be an ADC like you Then for some reason nobody liked me, everyone hated me, then loved me, then never played me, called me underpowered and got reworked for being too uncounterplayable and overpowered

Jhin Someone 4get something? Yeah, you did FUrgot didnt you Ziggs Only helps team by forcing them to help keep him alive so he can 2 shot towers

you forgot the greatest adc of them all: Mordekaiser!!!

? cait is weak af right now why would any1 want her nerfed xd

Moonfall Saber1 votes

because as soon as you nerf the strong adcs cait will be back on top. This has been an ongoing cycle since she has been released. Caits kit in general has what makes her strong.

just get rid of ranged crit and see how things change

My opinion:

Ashe I still think she needs worse early game Caitlyn also nerf headshot and buff something else, I just dont want to lose 50% hp from 1 auto Corki more like increase poke, reduce his retarded burst which is better than Syndra's Draven delete death dance, no other way to fix this champ atm, at least make it melee Ezreal hard buff to muramana, make his W useful or at least make it scale with AD too Lucian I think he needs a rework he is always a problem since his release MissFortune just gut her Q, she was always the "ult champion" and now she just spams Q and 1 shots me lvl 1 Sivir I really like her, but her ult is too strong for proplay, rework her ulti Tristana her Q is the dumbest skill on adc, her damage to towers is more than retarded, either nerf damage or safety Varus most balanced ADC in the game imo, never have I ever felt bad when killed by this champ Xayah I love her design, but her damage is just retarded, lower her damage by like 10-20% and she will be fine Quinn rework again Vayne most broken ADC by design imo, too solid of an early game, most broken late game in the game, impossible to build against, has both best DPS and highest burst among ADC-s and is invisible, I would either rework her to have actual counterplay or nerf her early game by 50+% so picking her meant you had the shittiest lane in the game like in season 2 Twitch just revert his Q, its now rather retarded because I can literally roam from bot to top while being invis and then 1 shot everyone

You also forgot:

KogMaw same as Vayne, too good of an early game for that crazy late game damage, but at least you can itemize against him and he is super immobile and easy to catch, if supports get their deserved gutting he will be fine Jinx I hate this champion, she was a problem since forever, only lately she is not as strong, the fact that a champion has AOE crits on a highest ranged ADC is dumb as fuck, and her minigun free attack speed especially on towers is stupid Kalista needs a rework, who the fuck thought that her passive wont be broken as hell especially in pro play... Kindred there is not a champion in the game whose visuals, VO and theme I like more, but whose gameplay I fucking hate, its so unoriginal, plain and just boring, if she is good her bullying is pure evil and if she is bad she is just trash not to mention her ulti which I find the most frustrating ability in the game especially if I play an AOE burst mage or an assassin, ffs its an instant AOE Kayle ult. Rework her pls, her gameplay is the only thing lacking Graves seems ok now after tons of nerfs, but I still preferred the old Graves, he was much more fun to play as/against

Lucian plays mid because he can't use ardent and has low range for an ADC in bot lane. Most mages mid don't have armor runes so he can burst them faster than two people with armor, he is just like Corki who also got pushed out of bot.

Blue Moon Wolf1 votes

can we also remove Ezreal's interaction with items that an ADC has no business buying like item 3025? Don't care if its "interesting and unique", He's the reason its not allowed to be other classes can't have nice things.

Ashe is the only balanced one

Yet you call others balanced, too...?

Caitlyn remove traps from under tower

Why? They're not hard to side-step.

Corki reduce poke range

He's not really an ADC anymore but alright. His poke range isn't that great, really.

Draven reduce damage on q

Definitely this. Reduce damage to champions.

Ezreal get him the fuck out of the jungle

Fits his thematic better, makes more sense in his kit...He might as well stay there.

Lucian too safe and now he plays mid because of it

False. He plays mid because he sucks ass everywhere else.

MissFortune lethality is build on her so obviously something isnt working right

So? How is a champion buying a stat "something wrong"? Is something not working right if I regularly buy Bloodthirster on Nasus?

Sivir seems pretty balanced since i never see her played

That's not the basis for balance. But, yes, she is fine.

Tristana complete bullshit early AND late game

Only because of her insane ability to escape.

Varus seems fine

See Ashe again.

Xayah too much poke for free

"Free" doesn't work when she has to use her abilities. Which costs mana. There's a reason she has to rush Essence Reaver.

Quinn umm ok?

See: Corki. She's not an ADC anymore. She also almost always buys lethality, invalidating your argument about MF.

Vayne fuck vayne

Fun fact: Vayne sucks ass right now.

Twitch HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK THIS GUY

May I suggest a dose of Akali, or any other assassin at all?

LOL so much salt toward ADC.

VoraciousX1 votes

Guinsoos Varus is taking off as well. I wouldn't count him out. As for nerfing crit, not all ADCs that are strong rn are using it. Just all ADC itemization is geared towards earlier in the game because of the stupid ADC 2k17 meme Riot decided to do something about it, and have kept adding more and more power to the bot lane when it was already fine, it was just the first blood turret and junglers being stupidly strong at the time that caused it.
