Prologue: If you're gonna pull a TL;DR, at least read the mistakes.

Hey, My name is Endless. I am an ADC (preferably Jinx ) main. The last couple of patches (including the patch that reworked the item 3031 ) ADC's that rely on thier auto attacks for DPS have just went straight to the trash can. I was disappointed at the changes you made, And I wanna point out the few things of whats wrong, and how to change it so it will make alot of people like me happier.

  1. Infinity Edge item 3031 I like how you went with this, but it doesn't work with most adc's anymore. The old Infinity Edge was nice, so i wanna bring a little of it back. The stats you should get is 70-80 Attack Damage and 20 Crit Chance, and the passive should be that you do 10% bonus true damage if you crit, removing getting double crit chance.

  2. Stormrazor item 3095 I, again, like the way you made this item, but its passive isn't that great. Since you have to wait for another auto to charge, you can't auto or it breaks the charge. This makes it not useful for team fights. So make it that it charges after 2.5 seconds without the auto timer. You should also have it deal 65% crit (basing of a normal crit being 100%).

  3. Zeal Items (including Zeal itself) item 3086 The Zeal items was the worse thing to ever have happen to ADCs. Zeal items are the #1 items that made ADCs, ADCs. Because the cs gold income decreased drastically early game, and then the zeals have cost increased, it made it so that ADCs would have a hard time early-mid game. I gotten my zeal item before at best 8 mins in. Now, at best it was 13 mins. Keep in mind, you have to build damage early too to stay balanced, so there's no point in NOT having this changed. The costs for ALL zeals should be brought back down to 2600 gold, and the zeal should go to 1200 gold. It's best if we had those costs back.

Now, these things I pointed out was only to help riot make ADCs become balanced again. Nothing derogatory. BUT, the changes I said are all SUGGESTIONS. I don't know how to truly made the items balanced, but I'm sure you'll balance it if you decide to listen. Thanks guys, Bye!

So first off the whole reason they increased the costs of ADC items, and then immediately reverted it because riot circlejerks for adcs over any other class, was because they had one of the cheapest item build paths in the game of the 5 roles which was unfair because of how impactful their items were. And they still are alot cheaper than bruiser mage builds.

Real Problems with ADCs:

You complain too much, the world does not revolve around you, alot of you don't appreciate your supports, you're acting like toddlers trying to cry Mages and Bruisers out of Bot lane because THATS MY LANE!! MINE!! (You have "nowhere else to go")

None of this is directed towards you I'm just tired of RIOT rushing to the complaints of Bot lane, but when any other role complains its "lets wait and see" or they do nothing for months - years

  1. Storm razor is NOT a marksman item. Stop. Claiming. It.
  2. Infinity edge does comparable damage to the old IE.

Marksman are in a balanced position. The problem is that marksmen mains are incredibly slow to adjust to non-buff changes to their itemization; It created the power vaccuum we saw with bruiser bot (which is out and over with a month later, by the way), and has led to the viability of all-in mages and battle mages in the bot lane.

Variety isnt a bad thing, and marksmen arent even in a bad place. Its simply a DIFFERENT place than it was before. Further, stop buying storm razor, for frags sake. It is an AWFUL item on marksmen that you should ONLY buy when ahead to maintain your lead. The only reason people picked it up in the first place is because "well riot nerfed things so compensation buffs" - The item was not meant to compensate marksmen, it was meant to compensate assassins who lost their finishing crit with the IE change.

Reality: Adcs don't need any more buff or item changes. If your role is straight up the best in the late, by the fair margin, there's no reason why you shouldn't be weak in early-mid game. Also Tristana is being played in Korea now, in last 10 games in NA LCS 9 of them we're adc vs adc, one of best EU teams is playing adcs only. Adcs are just circlejerking by now, after 8.15 adcs are stronger than they should be tbh.
