ADCS don't need to be strong

They don't need to be able to 1 v 1 everybody. They don't need to be able to delete an entire team without spectacular mechanics and positioning. They don't need to have overloaded and broken supports.

Screw the adc role and screw the vayne mains. The entire meta is catered to them and they exist in every game. Adcs being weak is fine as it is.

They can't, a fed Jax or Nasus is probably going to destroy them in a 1v1.

They don't need to be able to delete an entire team without spectacular mechanics and positioning.

Never seen an ADC charge into a 1v5 and walk out alive, never even seen them get a kill unless they just popped up and blew up a half health squishy.

The entire meta is catered to them and they exist in every game.

Because this is an objective based game and ADC is a class dedicated to taking objectives.

They're ranged and supposed to dish out consistent damage, not consistent burst. Seriously, I can't tell you how many times I've played a game as an assassin and 1v1'd an ADC that killed me before I could even burst them. Like what the fuck? When did ADC's become ranged assassins?!

Actually it's not just the meta. the whole damn game is centered upon adc's. we can't play without them Just like boots, almost every team has a adc like countering nukes with nukes. Remember riot making a lot of fixes to the tower durabilities? Especially the 2nd tier towers? or how are they keeping IE like the way it is, or BF although they changed the price of NLR. Which is a pure indication that balancing ADC's are far more important and sensitive than midlaners. Just count how many nerf did adc's receive when they became sort of...well overloaded like lucian or kalista or whatever

Ashe beats Vayne at all stages of the game as long as Ashe is not super behind and has her ult.

Besides, it's season 5, and ADCs need to adapt their builds to survive, try this.

Imo, an ADC shouldn't have to be able to 1v1 someone. For one, they're ranged. If they're in someone's melee range instead of kiting, they don't deserve to win the match-up.

Every meta lately is either about killing the adc, or protecting it. If the meta is centered around protecting this one role, this role shouldn't be too powerful defensively.

edit: fite me.

Just replace "ADC" with any other role name, and you have an equally stupid thread.

(I can't wait until people realize you can choose to NOT relegate one person to peeling, and finally appreciate the opportunity cost of running a peeler to make up for an ADC's weaknesses).

You do realize that with the rise of tanks, ADCs will rise as well? The only difference is team comps aren't really built to support just the ADC, like what people used to do back in season 3.

Yes, we miss season 4 where assassins drop their heads on their keyboards and 1v5 the enemy teams. Yes, you somehow have fallen behind so much that you can't even get past the enemy tank lines, where the ADC can easily wipe out your entire team as long as they're alive. Yes, the tank supports are so stupidly broken that anyone who can't click once for a free kill is fucking trash, and therefore must be sent to toplane or else they are 100% trash. Yes, you have obviously never played ADC or even botlane, so of course you don't know how it's like to play as one.

And yes, you can smell my exaggeration in the entire post.

i'd like to see something like 2% lifesteal quints but nerf their damage overall. that way they are better at surviving without peel. but not as deadly when they do have peel and can lay waste willy nilly. the real bursts should always be mages in my book. I'm talking payload all at once dmg.
With a few exceptions from ad sources like zed talon jayce + maybe future new champions.

that way adcs will make for more dueling/more sustain micro burst oriented as opposed to full on dmg.

think adcs closer to vladish.. haha hard to wrap head around this i know. vlad is really strong. but ignite and well timed cc takes care of him. same for adcs.
