From an ADC main to people who complain about ADC being overpowered.

BerylCrab··2 votes·361 views

If your gripe is with champions such as Vayne, Kogmaw, Draven, Jinx, Tristana or Jhin, I do not disagree with you, the current meta of "build IE and two zeal items on these champions and you win" is stupid, and I hate it probably more than you do, since i do not like playing champions that require no skill and all you have to do is right click on an opponent.

That being said, Other ad carries are underpowered if anything. All I am saying is please don't lump all ad carries into the hypercarry category just because it is what riot chose to favor for the meta.

Fixing this meta is as simple as not rewarding champions who need only right click a champion to completely obliterate them in 3 seconds. take away the crit build and go from there. the crits are the problem. hey i know! lets increase crit damage and put crit on a bunch of attack speed items so that hypercarries can crit 3 times in one second!!!!!111 Brilliant.....

you lost all credibility by saying "from an adc main" i think Which class of champion do you see everygame ? that's right adc while some like tank fighter mage and assassin can be missing in some games adc are almost always there and no other class get a whole other class (support) to be their personal slave for the game i think GUT THE ADC 2018 I THINK

Well Jhin isn't just like the others you listed and Draven isn't really a hyper carry but rather a snowballer. Jhin uses his spells and has to play with the 4th to make most use of his damage. Draven falls off as the game goes on so he needs to snowball off lanes.

You are right about the others being problematic though. They are scaling too quick and not showing enough skill as auto attacking is just too good.

Riot wanted to stop the generic build path of the old IE, Zeal, Boots, LW, BT, QQS, now look where we are at again this time it's IE into double Zeal

As I keep stressing over and over again, to fix adcs you must tone down all the classes at the same time. The fact that adcs have so much damage means other classes, to compensate, need to have a lot of burst too.

Now, if you happen to use all your burst and find it's not enough, be it because the enemy dodged or was protected or whatever, you're boned. The reason for that is that with so much damage in the game, there's no time to back off or get cooldowns back or get backup, so you just nearly instadie because you didn't instaburst.

And believe me, other classes do have a lot of burst, but the reality is that this gives adcs and peelers too much agency. I personally hate a game state where it's all about the adc and if he dies his team autoloses and if he flashes your burst/cc/whatever he pretty much gets a free "instaburst" because that's how long it takes to catch him again.

Anyway, as for your claim that adcs are underpowered, that's completely wrong and you're probably just saying that while thinking about your main, Ezreal, which is only really good when played by very good players. Ezreal isn't a normal adc, so let's not bring him into this, but even then, what I said still applies to some extent.

Also, it doesn't help at all that ardent censer has been completely overpowered for months.
