Why does ADC need buff?

They are mostly late game and are about sustained damage. They suck if game end too early or if game is too bursty. Asking to buff ADC is the same as asking to buff AP because you can't last pick AP in a full AP team, that would just make AP too strong in a normal team comp. ADC player need to learn to play champion select properly, it doesn't make sense if the smalled archetype are good in every team comp. If they are good in a short and bursty game, which is supposed to be their weakness, they become OP under favorable team comp.

Because they get shit on early mid and late game. Nobody suffers that except ADCs.

ADC is garbage, jungle top and mid all out dmg an ADC in every way, have cheaper build paths, gain levels faster, have more durability, and far more powerful kits. ADC is nothing but a victim the rest of the map (even including a number of supports) spends all game hunting down. Please detail to me the last time you as an ADC spend all game trying to find the mid laner, top laner or jungler alone solo so you can kill them. Its a real joke and you are being dishonest if you say otherwise.

that said I am not a fan of undoing the crit changes the problem with riots ADC concept is they tend to have garbage kits because of poor overloaded crit scaling design. what ADC need is actually durability at this point so they are not free gold to every other role in the game, that an ADC if ahead could actually hunt down that top jax but right now the 1/8 jax will charge you as an 12/1 adc with reckless abandon knowing your free gold, and you as an adc have no choice but to run hell the jax wont even need summoners. Its a joke, ADC is become the walking gold pot of the game who is eternally hunting and requires 2-3 people to keep them alive. So why even play it just pick another mage or bruiser.

But hey "i main cancer" is an ADC main just doesnt use that account to post on the boards guys honest he is ADC4LIFe trust what he says from his unranked 12 game throw away account.

ADCs are underperforming. It's true they're strong late game powerhouses, but they also need a decent early game or they're just going to die to damage supports and mages.

i can see how you wouldnt see considering all your main champions are in good spots rn, stormrazor is the main issue it just generally doesnt work on a lot of adcs that need the early crit like trist and twitch and is just abused by most champions that actually use it which is why its getting a rework sometime soon, as for adcs as a whole they just need their abilitys to matter more the fact that most are 100% auto focused makes them harder to balance and is the reason newer less outdated adcs with meaningful abilitys are just better

Some ADCs are fine.

The issue is there's so much damage bot lane and damage in general.

Laning phase is a pain, but ADCs make it harder by picking something like Caitlyn or Ezreal. That's just asking to get bullied.
