Maybe riot felt like they had to increase damage because of tanks

Now I’ve only been here since Jhin was released, but I browsed so many old forums and reddit posts that I picked up on a few things.

Seems like since the tank rework the “tank meta” has dominated this game. In fact, at the end of season 7 several tanks were considered broken with Orrn leading the charge. So maybe they thought more damage would kill the tank meta and the #adc2017 meme and make everyone happy. Now everyone is complaining because everyone is squishy, and tanks don’t feel like “tanks” anymore and adcs are considered overpowered now, and fighters got left behind.

So we complained about not enough damage, now we complain about to much damage. You proud of yourselves?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the tank rework was actually long after “ADCin2k17” correct?

Yep, Runes change very much.

I’ve been seeing posts from 2015 talking about the juggernauts and tank item reworks. That’s what I’m going on about.

Ah ok. That was my confusion because the juggernaut update was not a tank update or at least not what lead to ADC in 2k17.

I still stand behind my point. Things got increasingly harder to kill for a while, and I had to leave some of my favorite champions (Jinx and Caitlyn) behind and moved to top and jungle because adcs really did suck. Then pre season rolled around and I thought the game as a whole got better but everyone is constantly saying everything deals to much damage and that the game is dying. Like what is it that they do want?

I feel the opposite, things have gotten much easier to kill. At least for me.

At least for adcs at the beginning of the year. They still did damage, but they were so squishy and had very little movement. That’s why assassins dominated, tanks were very hard to kill, and why twisted fate and ziggs became the bot laners for a while.

Hey listen, looking back at this I may have misunderstood a few things and got the history wrong. I’m sorry about that. I still stand behind parts of my claim, but I think some of my “facts” and opinions were off. Sorry.

No harm done.
