People who say ADC is in a bad spot and needs buffs are fabricating BS

the only mages in bot lane are one tricks, and one tricks create artifical winrates that don't matter. Also, take note of who's the best winrates and decent playrates, notice how they all build crit, all build
aside from
who builds hybrid of lethality and crit, and
who's classified as an assassin marksmen, only builds {{item:3095} for crit items, AND only played by tyler1 and other one tricks / mains

the highest winrate items are still using crit, even though everyone says that it's bad highest popularity of core item builds? crit items.
"but, you salty top lane main, you do realize building lethality on most adcs is a terrible idea and are forced to build these items, it's core to their kit, that's why they're built so much. Why is any of this relevant?"
Because if they were really not viable, like any washed up professional player streaming adc will tell you, they would find means to shove raw AD and
into their builds, rather than crit that's more expensive as a total, only for it to do "less damage" than raw AD items.
"But mages have the highest winrate bo-" PLAYRATES. PLAYRATES. PLAYRATES. They aren't the new meta doublelift(ed by his teammates bc washed up) has been talking about for seasons unending. They're only relevant to the mains of the champ and also because mages by design are supposed to kill ADCs if they're caught out, and have stronger abilities than adcs, but use more mana, hence, they're not broken, they're doing their fucking job, and not even better than adcs.
tl;dr
Stop saying adcs are bad. They're not. Until riot really nerfs burst, adc mains will continue to cry about not being broken again.
