Why ADC's have the Highest tendency to be OP

Zerenza··9 votes·1,022 views

I'v been seeing this a lot, and while i do agree, let me explain something.

ADC's are broken in BOT LANE no matter what, because there isn't anyone that can go botlane as a Carry except ADC's. This is something Riot is working on right now, as stated by Riot Meddler in his updates so hopefully this get's fixed soon, that way we can see more Yasuo's, Cassiopeia's, Zigg's ect in botlane as Carries and an ADC or two won't HAVE to be broken every single patch.

I don't think ADC's are broken, if their strong BOT LANE picks, that's where their supposed to be and being the only class that can go Botlane right now reliably, it makes sense they would be. When they start to Dominate Top Lane, Jungle or Mid Lane is when i think their OP. Some marksmen should go to certain lanes, take Quinn and Teemo for example, or Graves and Kindred as other's, but if i see Miss Fortune Top at a 52% winrate, something is wrong especially if the playrate is high, that's when an ADC is broken to me.

This is different than saying Tanks are OP, or Assassins are OP, because both of those classes can go into several different lane's. Tanks exist in Jungle, Top and Support(Galio can go Mid) and it's obvious when tanks are OP because games will consist of 2-3 tanks instead of just 1. Assassins can go into 2 lane's and don't need to be in every team comp, so when games consistently have 2 assassins in them, that means Assasssins are OP. For marksmen it's the same but different, if we start seeing Bot Lane ADC's going into several other lanes, that's when we know for a fact their OP, but if one or two marksmen are overwhelmingly strong in Bot Lane, then it's not the entire Class that's OP, it's the champions.

Isn't it the problem, because ADC's are allowed to just auto attack for the majority of their damage? While most other classes outside of a few have constantly use mana and wait for their CD's to be up to do damage, while we can see 600+ crit damage on some of these champions. The only Non ranged adc I can think of that does the same thing is Yasuo.

And yasuo has to be in melee range to do so as well.

adcs (aids) have thier entire innate weakness covered thanks to dedicated support kits and items. they have been op for 7 seasons. everyone has a weakness that can be exploited except for adc because they get cheap/overpowered protection from items and support spells that enhance thier performance more than any other class.

nerf support kits/items that only interact with adcs, also make crit items more expensive. while youre at it, introduce turn rate so these little shit heads can't poke-burst you down without some retaliation.

at the moment, they burst poke you without worry because range (minions/towers wont have time to react to him them) and if you do manage to get in melee range or pull off a mage combo, they suffer no damage because support + lifesteal + crit (which amps lifesteal)

It is because riot games only caters to the ADC class and they balance the game completely around that class. It is why no mage can even compete with them in tower pushing. Unless you do a suboptimal build which then still isn't even competing with the ADC class.

So since you have a class that does 200% more damage to all towers then anyone else in the game and the best way to win the game is destroy the enemy base. You can see why ADC is overpowered in every season. Riot could fix this problem but they would rather nerf Annie by making her get minion aggro on her Q.
