The Adc Class Update

Now I know this class change is old news, but I've considered this update a success up until now. I now realize that all the adcs that were reworked were moved to other roles. ? Moved to top lane. ? Now a mid laner. ? Is now a jungler. ? Got his rework partially reverted. is the only one(besides kog) who is still an adc. I still think this gave the characters a more defined identity and unique play style, but most of those characters have been moved to different roles. I just wonder what this means about the role of adc. I consider and somewhat unique, but most adds are somewhat similar. How much diversity can the role of adc really have?

Maybe they could make their main purpose something more than just dealing damage. This is the only class with that problem. However, yeah, we're moving in the right direction with some marksmen like Ashe, Jhin, or Quinn, who have some unique purposes.

Corki is still a good ADC. its just because the way the meta was shaped recently Corki was able to have some great pressure in the mid lane and Armor meant jack shit thanks to Lethality (at the time) being busted as fuck.

Graves...... fuck that shit. Revert pls riot. Graves doesnt belong in my jungle. Get him the fuck out.

Corki was a mid laner for a while thanks to masteries having damage everywhere that he was able to proc with eveything on his kit... he still does kind of but nowhere as great as before

Still, Corki is one of the adcs that actually do have a purpose on a team, you deal magic damage crits! armor only stops like 1/5 of your total damage but as one of the few adcs left who's core item is Triforce he takes too long to actually deal meaningful damage... and even if you manage to get an early triforce you will never deal as much damage as an autoattack based adc, when they made his ult have a static cooldown they botched his synergy with triforce and to this day it's still the most efficient item for him :S and not only that, they also nerfed the damage on his rockets, if you don't build heavy AD you'll tickle, Triforce doesn't give you a TON of AD, in any case, you'd need lethality but... Corki doesn't deal phys damage!!!

so technically Magic penetration will shoot your damage through the roof, but you can't really get it without being AP but... Corki's AP ratios kinda suck! not to mention that he has mostly AD ratios.....................................

Oh I forgot

With the changes to armor items he MIGHT rise up a bit but everyone is receiving MR per level so he'll deal even less damage to everyone than before...
