ADCs are only so good right now because the meta favors them so heavily

Enchanters, Tanks, Janna, item 3504, item 3109, item 3107, etc.

The only real ADC problems are item 3087 item 3812 and like 1-3 of the ADCs.

It has almost nothing to do with them as a class. If you want to balance ADCs, you have to balance the outside sources.

It's the other way around.

Over the course of the past few seasons item diversity and defensive power of adc items have gone up, their scaling has gone up and their items are cheaper. It used to be that adc only spiked to most powerful around lvl 16, this meant that they were vulnerable to solo champions who had higher bases and a lvl advantage, now they are spiking so hard at lvl 11 that they no longer need protection to farm against solo threats, so with their superior clear and push speeds they actually regularly start outlvling people by lvl 12.

Adc use to be late game scaling team oriented damage, now they are mid game scaling solo monsters that can outduel anything not named Yasuo jax Fiora or nasus, base damage of Solos has become significantly less relevant because they are no longer out lvling adc's.

Pair this with support buffs and it's over the top, and while ardent Censer might be over the top, supp has had the least influence on a game for a long time until recently, they deserved a little power of their own, it's just there weren't compensation nerfs to adc's when there should have been.

You say it's everything else, while somehow ignoring the fact that there has to be some inherent excess value in adc for it to prompt a meta shift focusing on everyone not only throwing away their sense of self for adc's but also building items and masteries solely to support one player, literally WHOLE TEAMS.

Every other game I have adc's saying "everyone just peel for me" "if I die we lose" and other shit making it all about them, and the worst part is I CANT EVEN DISAGREE WITH THEM, even when I want to with every fiber of my being.

It would have been fine if adc's were just late game powerhouses, because that's how it's always been, but now they are mid game and on monsters that we must swear fealty to along with any personal enjoyment or validation to win.
