ADC is really fun right now

Everyone should consider playing AD ! Its a really fun role that is 100% impactful and necessary. Here are some reasons why.

Like dealing damage ? Well, we have 3 champs for that exact purpose! Whats that? There are more than 3 champions in the ADC role ? Well i think you misunderstood me. You want to deal damage, you have to pick from the three.

Like being useless until 25 minutes or 3 items ? Well this is the role for you! Just make sure your other lanes are winning, otherwise, good luck staying relevant in CS to get to that 3 item mark. But baby, once you hit that magic number you're gonna love the damage you put out. Until one of the strong top lane tanks catches you with one CC because, unless you brought cleanse or a QSS or are a god at spacing, one CC and you're toast. Just politely ask that top laner to not teleport down to your lane so you can have time to become that great damage source.

Like attacking fast ? Our kits were designed for that! Well, until you get your zeal item.Oh and a few levels. And don't worry about that tank that's 3-4 levels above you with 2-3 armor items and some HP to boot. Whats that? Your team needs you for a big fight ? Well hold on there partner you are about 1200 gold away from a cool item. So you need some time. Just don't fight. You know, because everyone follows that advice.

Are you social person ? Well you're in luck! We come stock equipped with a little buddy by our side, watching our back, providing wonderful support. Oh they missed all their abilities ? They are 2 levels behind? Well just let them get some items, which oddly enough makes you stronger. Everyone knows it takes two to tango!

Show me another role that can be 12/1 with decent CS and a relevant level and still be as useless as a wet napkin unless surrounded by an entourage. I also hate that our fate is 100% tied to a support who, unless you duo que'd with, will most likely be more of a hindrance than a help.

And yes this post is 100% facetious and salty,

i'm just venting after playing ADC myself, and then watching some streamers who are by no means bad players, but they just end up being useless because their supports are potatoes or the enemy tank happens to have a brain, or that mid laner just has infinite pressure and sits in your lane.

Isnt that how adc is supposed to be? A late game carry? I think adc players just got too used to being gods with 1-2 items and bot lane deciding most games xd

The problem is ADC have been balanced around being team dependent in exchange of dealing the most DPS, and making them more "playable alone" would be difficult because of their range advantage. Vayne is a perfect example of problematic adc becasue her kit is built to allow her some agency. She has constant autopeel, and a point and click hard cc.

I can’t help but remember the same feeling in 2k17.

An AD Carrot.

Even if I do well in lane, I come across a 2/4 Sion with just Titanic and he completely demolishes my HP bar with one E minion and half Q combo + Titanic proc.

The late game pay off it rarely worth it. I’m more dependant on my support more than ever at all stages.

PREACH IT. I am an AD main, and everything here hits home. Well done, I hope it gets better for us!

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll ever forget what adcs were like before all these nerfs to ever want them near being back to being a late game carry that starts carrying after one item and a bf sword and just being the only person you can protect from that point on. I'm willing for them to get more late game only power but I feel their early game is good enough (not too weak but not shredding the whole team cause they got an attack speed item)

Why I hate adc role, it is because If u get garbage trash support u're literally playing 1v3 lane.

One of the examples why I just alt + F4 when I autofilled adc.

Had a morgana who max'ed W and she literally used W on my CS, how I suppose to last hit the cs if minions also hits the cs.

I asked to stop pushing and fking up my laning phase, he said stfu, so how to play this role as solo Q?

As a botlaner I pay more attention to counterpicking the toplaner than I do my lane.

I had a dc once as Twitch in one of those ARAMS after activating my Ult, got a penta.

Believe it or not, but none of you can deny the fact that only adcs can do that even theoretically.

I mean ADC scaling is still absolutely there. You can just play ARAM and see how impactful ADCs are once they get their levels and items. The main problem with League for Solo Queqe right now is the games are simply too short. ADCs powerspike either needs to come sooner, or the games need to be longer. Thats really as simple as it is.
