A solution to the ADC burst problem?

Dovahkiin416·Nov 18, 2016·3 votes·692 views

Since most ADC's can out-burst any assassin except and now. I have an idea.

The proc from passive may be some of the issue, at least with some of the biggest offenders. cough cough

I suggest a rework on the item, to make it more about sustained damage instead of a huge crit proc from the item.

Magic damage could build up over time on the same target, instead of all being dumped on it all at once.

JUST FOR AN EXAMPLE

Static Shiv +35% Attack Speed +30% Critical Strike Chance +5% Movement Speed

UNIQUE Passive - Static Buildup: For every consecutive auto attack on the same target you deal 15(+5 per auto attack) magic damage to the target. Resets when you auto a different target

Obviously this would require balancing, and a name change lol. But it would be a start to remove ADC's burst and make them more about sustained damage over time.

If an ADC dies to any new assassin except Kha or Rango, they played horribly.

Or do something about the crit items. Standing on a trap to get crit auto from Caitlyn ....

Could they not make statik shiv melee only? Adcs will still have 3 crit attack speed items to choose from.

If they do change statik shiv according to your suggestion adcs can still get burst from rapidfire cannon.

That item could get a similar rework, only have range decreasing with every auto, until normal auto range.

They could but then ADCs would need another wave clear item. Right now the available wave clear items are the Hydra items neither of which can be used by ADCs.

They have

That item is a waste of gold if you don't have on hit effects to proc especially with the new fervor or battle. Vayne Draven and others are never going to build it.

but maybe not having access to waveclear is a weakness they are supposed to have

Why? What melee champion builds this beyond Yasuo and Yi?

They are all about their late game sustained damage, so saying that their damage is a problem is like saying that towers need to have ammo, it doesn't make sense and there is no problem.

The problem is that they have burst, and sustained damage.

They should only have sustained damage.

Any damage dealt to squishy targets is considered burst damage, but if you want to look at beyond burst look at mages, mages are the largest damage dealers in this game, and Riot has also given them a range advantage over ADCs. Sure most of them aren't super mobile, but they also have a plethora of CC loaded into their kits, and taking ghost is not detrimental to them, but rather an advantage. I think you should turn your attention towards mages instead of ADCs, even if you are a tank main who doesn't like ADCs, mages are probably a bigger threat to you than you think.

Mages are limited by their mobility and cooldowns, they make up for that in burst and range. Not to mention they mainly rely on skill shots for most of their damage output, besides a few outliers that is. They're mostly just the glass cannons of league to me.

Assassins rely mainly on timing, decision making, and mobility.

Marksmen rely on positioning and peel from their teammates, also good attack-move mechanics.

Mages have their problems as well But, for me, the main problem created recently has been the ability of marksmen to out-burst a lot of assassins. When that's literally supposed to be what an assassin does.
