Should we be taking ADC mid lane and Mages bot????

Thoughts?

EDIT: My opinion.

ADC in solo lanes get more XP a better chance to farm up more gold to buy their expensive items.

Since the game is so fast paced ADC need to find a way to catch up. This could be their viable option.

Now some ADC may not be able to survive due to lack of mobility, well this can be fixed with staying safe and buying defensive items. Some adc back in the early seasons used to rush item 3072 due to the survivability aspect , perhaps we should do the same now? Most adc players will have to adjust their playstyles when facing people who can burst them down, this isnt so different than facing supports with high cc. avoid it and then punish them for missing. dont forget the advantage adc have over others with their high AD and high Range. Most mages have shitty armor to start the game with so ur 2 autos equals their one dmg ability.

I think mages bot could also be more important than a adc due to the fact that they can contest dragons alot easier since adc early game legit do nothing and shouldnt even be fighting but with a mage alot can change.

ADC will also be able to have more freedom to roam or at least the ones that can will be more sought after. New meta? maybe

You can take mages botlane, sure. It's broken in fact and grossly overtuned. ADCs cant go mid though. They just get bursted down at level 3 on by assassins and mages who still go mid.

ADCs don't work anywhere, except botlane. No matter what people with "muh lane diversity take anyone anywhere you want" say.

Marksmen lack safety, they lack mobility, they lack wave clear, they lack roaming tools, they lack a power spike of 6, they la-oh for fuck sake you get the point.

Riot's long term plan is to try to make ADCs go mid and put mages bot.

It is more let mages join the bot lane with ADCs.

The Problem with adc in midlane is that assassons lane there. U want to stand vs zed from the start? after he hits lvl 3 ur lane is done and u wont scale for another 20 minutes ...

it will never work. midlane is stacked with the broken af ad assassins. the only thing that will happen if you take an adc midlane is the zed is going to smile as he 100-0 you under turret and didn't even have to roam botlane for you.

That only works for a couple ADCs as pure solo lanes. Ezreal Lucian

Outside of that it will only work if the jungler is funneling you, and even then that's still only a handful of ADCs that really works with.

Yes. Bot lane is pretty much wide open. ADC and support works, but so do a lot of things. Me and my duo did Brand APC and Pyke support and won easy vs a Jinx/Morg, and I have gone Mord/Renek and won lane but the rest of the team fed so we lost.

I wouldn't oppose ADCs being able to go to solo lanes and most prolly can already with a slight nudge in defensive stats.

You will get more experience in solo lane but not necessarily more gold. It can be fine but the problem is that adc have low roaming potential. You may also penalize your jungler for having no dmg early.

ADC in mid lack roaming tools and lvl 6 power spikes

i take cait, sivir, kaisa , trist, ashe, lucian, mf, ez, and jhin mid all the time. once you buy lifesteal or just take the legend bloodline rune its a free lane most of the time vs most mages. just ban zed and stay out of talon q range and you should be fine

Yes take the Marksman (which is NOT synonymous with ADC) to the mid lane, hey if u want take the supp there too, and have a champion that can solo Bot well like: brand/zyra/Liss/Morde until the Mid laner begs someone from bot lane to come help them as the Marksman and Supp run them through

Did u know it was actually an idea of Riots that Marksmen and possibly supps would rotate Mid after the addtion of the Rift Herald. The Central position of mid would allow any ADC or Marksman easy access to either Dragon ro Herald, and then they ADC or Marksman with possibly a supp and Jg could go for either objective

But people were TOO stuck in their mindsets to change

well nows the perfect time
