Hey, any Rioter, please explain something to me.

Why are auto attacks, the EASIEST AND MOST RELIABLE FORM OF DAMAGE IN THE GAME, by far the strongest source of damage in the game? How can you claim the game is balanced when a champion who puts in absolutely no effort or thought, and has literally no counterplay other than go nowhere near them, can instantly kill anyone that goes near them? When I have a skillshot that has four times the CD of their AA, puts me at risk (unlike any ranged AA) and does maybe half the damage (if I'm lucky) -- how is that fair?

I really would love to know why targeted abilities and AA spam are far stronger than skillshots. Please tell me how that's "fair" in any way.

Build armor

Except for the fact that Riot seems to believe ADCs and champs like Xin and Yi shouldn't have a counter option, so there are countless armor pen items, %HP damage items, and all that. So you gain another 0.5s of life from having 250 armor.

Troll thread or new to the game~ I remember oneshotting people with nidalees spear, out of fog of war. " skillshots are weak" my ass.

Okay, look at any other skillshot. Compare them to auto attacks. Who wins? Factor in CDs, resource costs, all the things AAs don't have.

Plus, you can easily dodge skillshots, you literally cannot dodge an AA.

Skillshots have more range, Skillshots can be shoot without vision of the enemy, skillshots have shorter cds then point and click ranged abilities. Skillshots in general tend to have cc or other adventages over point and click spells. Just stop.

to be fair, this is irrelevant as he wasnt comparing them to targeted abilities. he wasnt talking about something like an annie q, but auto attacks of a carry, that can get as low of a cooldown as less than half a second.
