ADC player complain because riot only takes from them.

The thigh guy··4 votes·1,116 views

All riot has done in the past few years is strip things from adc player.

QSS - it used to remove zed marks, fizz fishes, leblanc marks. it was a really good defensive option.

ninja tabi - it was a good item for an adc to take to stop from being popped, until it was nerfed into the dirt.

armor in general - lethality became a thing, and now building a armor item means nothing

blade of the ruined king - used to steal 10% max hp, now its 100 hp flat and doesn't steal it

supports - protection supports can no longer really do their job

crowd control - very few adc have a good cc anymore that isn't tied to their ultimate, and very few have even that, so qss just cuts that out

targons quest - yeah, adc's started taking support items because they need defensive items so badly

knights vow - doesn't really work anymore because all the champs that used it just cant stop enough

infinity edge - used to be a core item that increased damage immensely. theeeeeeeen riot happened

crit items - used to be a cheap way to get a little boost to keep up if you got too far behind. now they are too expensive ( note these items arent really core items, and they cost as much as a duskblade which is core )

vision nerfs - this one was really bad. like REALLY bad. vision being less prevalent and much easier to remove equated to the don't leave lane, don't push and don't draw any attention to yourself meta we are in now.

fleet footwork - nerfed to be nearly unusable by ranged champs.

Melee only passives - there is literally only one passive in the game that is ranged only, and its runnan's Sterik's gage used to be a defensive option adc's took. then riot just took it away from them

Mikaels - This one is little known, but it used to heal and break cc. nope. now it just breaks cc and no one builds it ever

ardent censor - had its onhit damage gutted and its life steal passive removed entirely

guardian angel - it was tuned to be a more offensive item WHICH DEFEATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE ITEM

blade of avarice - was removed and got brawlers glove only, it was removes due to it being able to increase gold generation for lategame chars

the rune changes - the removal of the ability to get early resistances and even lifesteal really hurt the role

now lets see what riot gave adcs defensively

phantom dancer - reduces damage of the last target attacked by 12%?

deaths dance - used more by bruisers than anything

adc reworks - they were strong, for the time they were useable. now the only one that really works is mf, and thats because she wasnt hit too hard by the crit stat being gutted.

Thats really about it.....

i understand the role is suppose to be a "glass cannon, high dps character" but in their current state, they dont dish out the damage needed to be worth it. i mean why pick jinx, who is known for her late game when you can grab irelia and do the same damage earlier, in less time and with less counterplay? why play kog maw, when you can grab yi and do his job better while still having some bulk?

You cant even just sit back and farm til your power spikes because zed/talon/wukong and just 100-0 you under turret at level 3.

If absolutely anything give us old qss back. its currently okay for it to make control mages entirely irrelevant but was nerfed because it made assassins slightly less viable?

Nope, that's my commentary. I read like a few lines and couldn't stop thinking about big'ol Walrus Titties after they complained about damage reduction, the ability to remove CC on in addition to a buff and when Irelia can out DPS Jinx late-game.

I was thinking maybe Manatee Titties but that's usually reserved for Special-Special cases. This particular case, it's like, just a special case.

Its horse crap, ADCs were strong for so long so to even suggest that riot has "only taken from them" is baloney.

look at the patches, adc's only stayed strong due to abusing items that weren't made for them. What in the past few years was made for adc players? rapid fire cannon? phantom dancer? pd is used more by bruisers than anyone. Every defensive tool adc players had was taken away, hence why we are in this rough assassin meta right now.

I mean you are not wrong with stating this.

The fact ADC's had burst, DPS, and a good laning phase along with early laning was ridiculous though.

Basically a self-explanatory point in my opinion.

Well, when a post and a Walrus fall in love, sometimes the Walrus lets the post suck on its big'ol Titties.

This is honestly true... they have always taken from ADCs. Like when any of them became viable or okay in another lane outside of bot, they would nerf or change them. Or remember when ADCs could build one defensive item late game, usually a banshees. Yeah that's gone too, gave it to mages...
