To everyone who complains about the ADC circlejerk

Look, I know that seeing endless posts about ADCs isn't the most fun thing in the world. But to all those who simply dismiss all those posts as "whining" or "circlejerk" or "salt", no. ADCs ARE a problem right now. They have been a problem in the past, and they will probably also be a problem in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good salty rant once in a while, but not 24/7. However, I also don't like people flat out dismissing the concerns of a clearly very large number of players. If there are hundreds, thousands even of players saying that ADCs are too strong, then perhaps they are.

P.S: they are

When a circlejerk gets so strong that there's an anticirclejerk circlejerk, you know there's a problem and people don't offer solutions.

While I agree that a lot of threads criticizing marksman balance/design essentially say the same thing, and unfortunately often don't dig deep enough into how to address the problem, I also think it's understandable for there to be a degree of repetition, because this is an ongoing issue that has so far received no Riot response, so to anyone posting those kinds of threads or comments it doesn't feel like they're being listened to. Ideally, the best solution would be to concentrate hot-button issues onto single, high-visibility threads, so that the same discussion wouldn't take up most of the front page, but we've had technical problems trying to implement that in the past.

I'm with you here, it's tiresome to see the same thing get said over and over again, and I think there needs to be a means of culling repetition across the front page of Gameplay, where there are many topics that deserved to be discussed and precious little space. What are your thoughts on answering this? Do you think hosting a pinned megathread on a particularly high-visibility topic could help Gameplay?
