Complaining about "OP ADCs"

Jobriq·Jun 29, 2017·3 votes·396 views

Right now the general consensus appears to be "Marksmen are so broken!" and I it got me thinking. Last season everyone was like "OMG tank meta is the worst!" season 4 was all "Assassins 2 broken" (Kassadin and Leblanc were virtually permabanned in ranked)

That leaves only one option: The OP Support Meta.

I wanna see games being carried by a 24/0/2 Soraka or a Janna with 6 deathcaps. Braum and Taric top lane and Bard jungle. AP Leona mid. AD Thresh and Full Crit Blitzcrank.
MAKE IT HAPPEN RIOT! SUPPORTS NEED THE LOVE!

Technically we have a bit of that in the form of some supports either getting too much damage with not enough penalty for such a thing or ones who just utterly shut down ganks. Granted, Lulu isn't that bad, beyond her Q she is just mostly a point and click user on her W and E with different effects and her R basically works just like her E 'shield', granting the target a bunch of health for a short while but also having a nice 'close range knock up' combined with a AoE slow field while its active.

Though really its supports like Thresh Blitzcrank with the annoyance of 'hook harass' and combo into a cc lock that seems to be part of the issue with them, especially thresh, Q grab, W knock forward/back, auto empowered smack with W passive and R for a 'huge' slow panel box to utterly ruin any chance of getting out alive with the combo unless you can flash and sometimes a gap closer to help, doesn't help for a good 2ish seconds you basically can't do any actions because of 'cc' from thresh, especially if he 'delays' the w just enough to give a tiny gap you can't really make use of to quickly escape.

As for Karma it's the fact she gets a insane amount of raw damage or raw shield granting with her mantra R ability and just like Jayce , she has to get her freakin r right away letting her instant access to the raw power spike super early on so if she gets a R mantra empowered Q which gives a 25% slow for 1.5 seconds, 50% if its empowered and the empowered damage does quite a bit despite what the 'values do'.

Does not help that HELL, she is 'rewarded' for constant harass on enemies whether its thru autos or her abilities, where it has a not so sizable cooldown of 45 right at the beginning. Oh did i forget to mention the Q is on a 7~5 CD before CDR is applied? Plus her W tether is basically leblanc's E tether root with just as scummy damage in multiple procs, up the root in R mode and raise the dmg up too. Oh plus heals her and her E grants shields to herself and her target and give move speed too, every ally nearby for the R empowered too.

Funny how she originally was suppose to be a mid-laner type champion but just like Graves she became too dominant in another 'position' then originally intended.

Plenty of others can be written off as annoying damage or harassive annoying but not many can pull the shenigans that 'hooks' plus non-stop CC combos or retarded multiversatility as the ones as i listed(Again, i don't consider LuLu as broken, just situationally way too good and Karma has for a good while always been a retardedly annoying pick whether its in aram or support).
