The coming patch is yet another nerf-fest for everyone but ADCs

Lmao Rito, you're so full of shit it's funny. You've done literally nothing to deal with shield stacking and draink tanking ADCs.

But hey, let's leave Twitch, Kog, Xayah etc. in their current state and nerf (not saying he doesn't need it). We're back to nerfing every class but marksmen. Ah man, what a great time to be alive. Love this meta where ADCs alone are 50% of a team's power budget. Seems balanced.

Let's keep on pretending was the only issue.

The pre season change does not really seem like going to make ADCs weaker. Sure Ardent is getting a big nerf, but ADC as a role will still be the most impactful role in game.

And that seems to be the way they want their game to function: Everyone is playing for the ADC; not with. Better camp that botlane to make sure Kog gets fed because my lane has no impact on the game at all.

yet Ahri remains in this weak state gg riot balance

Ahri has been a relevant mid-laner for a long time now. And when she drops below her ~53% winrate, people whine. It's still ~50%. So she's still doing fine.

Her winrate is 49% only because Lucian, ryze, and many other competitively picked midlaners are used a lot in soloq. Once riot changes their kit and buff it after worlds, her winrate will go down.

Mages are weak. Burst mages can no longer even get close to bursting down a squishy target through all this shield stacking and life steal. Even a full combo from Ahri won't even get close to killing an ADC so why bother playing her when damage is all she brings.

What are you talking about? A big nerf to Ardent is also a nerf to adcs. Not only do they deal less damage with Ardent supports, but champions that don't build it(mage and tank supports) will become viable again, and they are generally good vs adcs. Also, the supports are not forced to peel mostly for adcs when the damage bonus from ardent is less impactful.

the sad part is people try to say "oh look adc;s winrate arn't crazy high"

well the CLASS is op not just 1 specific champsion (outside of Twitch who is an issue on his own) .. and BOTH sides have an ADC.. so you cant just go by WINRATE if the entire CLASS is op becuase of thier itemzation

Galio is more along the lines of getting re-balanced. He's suppose to be anti-Magic but right now he's anti-everything. So they're buffing his magic tanking and re-balancing his damage where tank Galio does less damage but Mage Galio does more.
