Fix adc.

Seriously, this has been a meme since the preseason but it's getting ridiculous. ADC is my main role and has been for a while. It's so annoying how little we do in games now. It's always 4-5 man bot lane ganks early one and most of the ADC's I play get screwed over so much because of it. There is too much pressure on the bot lane and it isn't until the late game we recover.

Our early game is so damn bad that I have to change the marksmen I play. I like to play Jinx, Caitlyn, Tristana - High damage carries that excel in the late game. However, I can't play these champions because of how little they do. I'm forced to play Jhin, Varus, Miss Fortune, (Sometimes Caitlyn) because if I don't, I'm putting myself at a bigger disadvantage.

The AP bot laners that are forming now have been a personal problem. I hated how people like Annie, Brand, Malzahar and other AP mid laners can be thrown in the bot lane as a 'support' just because they do a lot of damage and can help out in the early laning phase. Leave that stuff to REAL supports. Karma, Zyra, Ziliean, etc. And the fact Riot is enforcing these Ziggs, Cassiopea and Ryze bot lanes are insane. We lose every matchup. A Caitlyn and Thresh lane will lose to a Zyra Ziggs lane because they do more damage.

The damn tanks are another issue for us. We ADC's are suppose to be in the backline and attack what's infront of us most of the time, right? What happens when a 0/5 Maokai just gets so damn tanky that he can flank or walk past the front line into the back line where I am and burst me? I am bursted by tanks like Poppy, Maokai, Garen, Darius, Volibear, etc. The list goes on. I can agree that if I'm caught out or something, they should be able to kill me. But what happens when my damage output in TEAMFIGHTS is so low that a tank can walk past me and CC and kill me? It's insane.

It doesn't matter how bad ADC's are in the meta, if a marksmen is in the game, they'll be focused. I had games where I was really far behind and all I had to do was farm and do what I could in teamfights but there was always these guys that would flash ult me, or burst me with some bs combo like Darius E W Q oneshot and there's nothing I can do.

ADC is such a dead role. Fix it Riot. I'm not having fun playing this game anymore and I've been playing for 4 years. This game isn't fun for me because I can't play my main role (The only role I can always enjoy myself on, usually). Fix ADC.

Haha I was reading your first paragraph and (myself being an adc/mid main) I was legit about to type play mf, varus, jhin, vayne. I feel you bro, but luckily for me my fav/best adc's are in meta. Honestly get really good at vayne and if your team is any good they will know to follow up on the 5 man ganks

ADC's are meant to have a weak early game, because mid/late game they just stomp if not taken down.

Weak early, strong late.

Then you have champs with a strong early game, and a bad late game.

And then you have come champions who are good in only about 25 minutes of the game. Champs who need say 1-2 full items before unlocking. Good for the the mid game, and then fall off again late game. I think current Gnar is in this state.

I agree with the majority of your post (not the tanks bursting you unless we consider Vi and Hec tanks now) and have suggested fixes in the past. A few have been implemented and hopefully more will be soon.

#1 requested change: Make that damn bottom turret on par with the other 2 outer turrets.
