They are the only role that has 4 members on the team designed to protect them and help them farm, get kills, etc. I bet it's really hard to do any job if you have people to help you out:
-1 to come up with an idea for you to claim credit for -1 to actually execute the idea -1 to beta test -1 to fix the product and then all you do is come up to the front, right click where people tell you to and say "I invented a new product"
Chuck Charles1 voteswere also the only role that cannot 1 v 1 bruisers and mages unless unbelievably fed without insane outplay and even then its unlikely. everything in this game is designed to instantly explode us or kill us over an extended fight. we cant tank a true tank one on one until late game, cant take bruisers cuz they will melt us before we can do enough dmg, and mages just explode us.
adc requires absolutely prime positioning, decision making, and believe it or not...there is skill in self peel. a good adc will have some combination of bork, bt, mercurial, etc to help peel for themselves when shit gets bad. adc is the most unforgiving role in the game in that if you make the slightest mistake you are gone and your team probably loses that fight.
sure, its not as mechanically impressive as say a lee sin doing an insec, or a yasuo outplaying 1 v 5....but it is just as skill intensive as the other roles. it is more dependent on your team, but a good adc can overcome bad supports and teams.

because you know, if having 4 people protecting you and having all your abilities from the safety of range isn't enough for you not to die in a teamfight, you deserve to lose

thats great, you act like people actually protect the adc in solo queue. they dont. the support tries to hard engage. and your tanks go for the backline leaving you out to dry id say at least 80% of the time. quit acting like adcs are babied. the only way they are babied is by the fact that supports stay with them during lane phase...and even then supports have now evolved into a role that supports the whole team not just the adc.

they're still babied more than assassin mains and fighter mains and even the op freelo instagib mage mains
