Mages need to land skillshots to one shot

and the community cry for mage nerfs? That Xerath/Orianna that killed you from full HP landing their hard to hit skillshots should be praised but no, “please nerf mages, they can land skillshots and kill me from full HP”.

Meanwhile ADC champions can do the same job as mages by using 2 point and click auto attacks and the community cry out that ADC champions are weak, they need buffs.

What a sad world we live in.

Completely gut the ADC role. At least when mages are played in bot lane they require some skill to play rather than playing the most easiest champions the game has to offer.

if you fail your single skillshot on orianna might as well uninstalling the game things will be fixed faster this way

Yeah see people have this misconception that just because it has "skill" in the name that skillshots are super hard or validate bullshit. Oh no, you landed you SUPER hard to hit lux q, guess you deserve to nuke me, gg.

In what world do you call being able to stand at twice the range and do the easiest kind of "skillshot" in any video game genre harder than being a champion who's just as squishy but with half the range?

It's like when people talk about skill in this game they just completely forget other games exist. And using Xerath/Ori as examples? Are you joking? They both have massive AoE abilities that are hard to miss.

Lol. So you can spam 1000+ range skillshots every 5 seconds and if you hit them you get heavily rewarded. Yep. I dodged 27 lux binds, but cause I got hit by 1 I deserve to die instantly. Don’t worry though, her ulti will be back up before you respawn.

Wow. So much skill. Good job dude.

You know how adc’s are balanced?

Because if you Fart in their general direction they die. Without counterplay.

"hard to hit skillshots"

Okay.

Xerath point and click W for slow, Aim mouse over and press Q, press E when someone is running at you. Not even gonna comment on oriana

basically every assassin ever. i cant think of a single assassin that requires effort or skill to do high amounts of damage

Then maybe they shouldnt have fat super long ranged skill shots on low as fuk cooldowns so that if they miss it its okay they can fire another one before any melee champion can reach them or adc can walk up to click on them. Mages want their skill shots to be up super often AND do one shot damage that is the problem. People call for adcs to get nerfed too but mage mains and adc mains got each others back on the boards and downvote what ever suggests that any of them needs to lose damage (mostly because they are each others alt roles)

Just to point one thing out without taking a side in this debate.

If someone uses skillshotS to kill you, they didn't one shot you. You can only call it a one if they literally take your full health bar in a singular attack.

I just felt the need to say that because the thread is about being one shot but people were bringing up combos and pluarlalities.

Yeah thats the thing.. Just one abilty or two to one shot with only a few seconds of cooldown. Turning this game into a bullet hell.. Whats the counter to that?
