So are we actually going to look and balance Bot Lane or are we just gonna pretend that its fine?

  1. Constant 4 man ganks bot lane
  2. First tower gold + dragon if you back at the wrong time
  3. mage "supports" outdamaging an entire team Zyra Malzahar Karma Brand
  4. Games end at the 25-27 minute mark on average, ADC's are almost worthless until 30 minutes.
  5. Crit build sucks, so ADC's have to resort to using lethality and abusing the shit out of it Lucian MissFortune Jhin Varus Quinn. ADC's build lethality because they're able to actually be useful before 30 minutes
  6. damage creep is out of control, why play ADC when you can play Ziggs who is safer, scales better and isn't completely useless until 30 minutes into the game
  7. snowball snowball snowball snowball. If the bot lane duo loses lane.. GG EZ
  8. lack of early %armor pen options, tanks are able to "assassinate" the ADC during those crucial mid game teamfights, meanwhile the ADC just tickles the tank a little bit.

All of these problems have been around since the end of Season 6, we are almost 4 patches into season 7 and bot lane is STILL a complete disaster.

Look at pbe, nerfs across the boards to counter damage creep and snowball,. We'll be fine. Do some research before you complain

Actually it does. Supports have high bases right? So the damage amplifiers that high damage supps (zyra, malz, brand, etc) take will be less effective. They will return to if not full season 5, but at least a tamer level of damage. at least to the point where you aren't forced into picking warlords just to stay in lane. As for being soloed....well, that depends on the skill of both people involved after these nerfs. And now since lethality is getting some nerfs on numbers, and damage amps are less effective, the crit multiplier will finally be more useful than straight pen on more traditional carries. (still better on lucian cuz he scales 60% well with crit) Supp base damage will be back to somwhat normal, and due to this, action in bot lane will stagnate.

Since first tower is worth less gold, the snowball items will take longer to get to, and 1-2 kills won't decide lane anymore. The snowball will stagnate, and ADCs will be able to reach their crit items more often, translating into the real power they've been denied in the snowball meta. So yes, after PBE nerfs, crit will be good again.
