Small Changes to Marksman
Hi everybody,
In the next posts I'm going to be go over some changes to Marksmen who I think need the shake up. First of all, I wanted to exclude:
:

and
as I do think these have their abilities live up their potential and their work in tandem with each other. I will also not be going over any numbers as I'm not really proficient in that so while some champions might need numbers change I will not talk about those. Also, I will be referring to Bottom laners meaning that
and
.
The main no-champion specific change I'll propose is to have the Marksman role be separated in two: Long Range ADCs and Short Range ADCS(there is probably better names for those). What I mean by these is to have a clear distinction for Long Range ADCs who are able to control the fight from afar and their main source of power comes from autos using their abilities to poke/kite. This pool would include: Ashe, Caitlyn, Corki, Ezreal, Jhin, Jinx, Kog'Maw, Sivir, Teemo, Tristana, and Twitch. Meanwhile, Short Range ADCs should have more power in their abilities to do raw damage or be able to outplay and outwitt their opponents: Draven, Graves, Kai'Sa, Kalista, Kindred, Lucian, Miss Fortune, Quinn, Vayne, and Xayah.
This, therefore, would mean that both subclasses should have a range bar; meaning they should share the same range. This would make so champions like
would not have oppresive range and others like
would have enough range as they are not really meant to get in the thick of things. There would be exemptions like Tristana and Jinx, who at point in the game gain extra range from their abilities. Still, I do feel this would bring a clear cut duality of classes to the already linear role.
Next time I hope to see you in my post about Ashe; bye.
