So can a full item ADC still 2-3 shot squishies after changes?

Everyone is talking about 2-3 item ADCs being problematic.

That honestly hasn’t been the problem. A lot of champions have good spikes with 2-3 items. The issue is, majority of classes tend get weaker by end game in terms of damage

I hate watching LCS or being in a situation where a late game ADC crits a squishy for 40-50% if my HP.

So with these changes, has anyone actually done math to see the outcome is in late game? Just by looking at the numbers and items, ADC will still be doing insane crits against squishies. In fact, their late game damage against tanky targets will definitely. They will without a doubt have the ability to get BOTRK or BT for huge sustain

It feels like a Riot is not looking at one of the main problem.

ADC gets played in every game because late game you need a comp focused around the ADC. Their damage becomes burst regardless of these changes

Squishies dying instantly to a full build squishy isnt an issue. They should die near instantly if they build 0 defenses. To say otherwise would make offensive items and defensive items worthless. Why build damage if you cant kill a squishy? Why build defense if a squishy target doesnt blow up instantly?

The delay of 700-900 gold plays a big impact of when they can actually 3 shot a target. Overall late game, yes they will still be able to but you should have more time to do something about it until they get there. At the end of the day though you'd have to nerf AD items by an insane amount to stop something like a Caitlyn's triple crit headshot damage.

ADCs are meta for tower taking ability (or have been historicly) currently they are doing to much damage to everything though.
