Marksman Patch

The marksman patch was the worst decision Riot ever made. Now we have people playing mordekaiser ADC, Talon ADC, wtf is this bullshit. Give our marksman our damage back. I swear Riot has gone mad with this meta. I've been playing for 5 years and I have never hated league this much. MY ADC DOESNT DO ANYTHING FOR DAMAGE. THEY ARE CALLED ATTACK DAMAGE CARRIES FOR A REASON. Who the hell came up with idea to nerf all ADCs so they do less damage. I mean its damn near impossible to carry with an ADC now unless your Jinx or Miss Fortune. Fuck Riot. Fuck League of Legends. This is the start of the downfall.

They are called marksmen. We commonly call them ADCs because they've been the only viable option for so long bot. But any attack damage dealer that deals the most damage in the game becomes the ADC. Did you notice that when you select a position, it doesn't say ADC but BOT? Why should we have a marksman in every game?

because that's the way people have been playing the game since the game came out? when I lock in Mordekaiser bot I get flamed the entire game and blamed for the loss. I just don't see why you would make marksman useless regardless of what lane theyre in. I see vayne top? dodge. I see Lucian mid? dodge. Twitch jungle? dodge. I mean this is like Apple releasing the iPhone without the headphone jack.

The game is very confusing right now but I don't know, I don't mind the changes. They said they're gonna adjust patch after patch so maybe (MAYBE), if we're patient enough we'll see the marksmen back at a decent level by the end of the season. The changes were brutal and I don't understand why they implemented them mid-season but I'd wait a bit more. Although, one patch every 2 weeks... I mean how can they not update faster? Lots of games release updates every week. Loved your Apple analogy btw!

Marksmen aren't useless or unplayable. The way to succeed with them has changed though. The game has been in a certain rut for a while though where the only variation was a paper, rock, scissors of tier 1 champs that rotated some in and out now and then. It's kind of like the wild west that was season 1 right now. I personally find the chaos refreshing for the most part.

Well I hate it, they need to give us our marksman back. I mean theres what? 20 marksman champs how can you render that many champs useless in one patch. I mean the entire adc role is screwed right now. lets face it their base damage is weak. the other team has to be garbage in order for you to dominate now.

I understand how you feel. I've played since season 1 and watched a lot of things I loved get dumpstered. Hopefully these changes will lead to better balance in the end for everyone and not make push it back to you have to have this or that in the game or you lose. Crit marksmen have been almost required because of power creep and the effect that had on player behavior.

First of all, a Marksman still out damages any other archetype in the game, especially since they're power always come from a resourcless attack. I'll tell you how to fight a morde bot, stay the fuck away from him, if you get within melee range you're an idiot. Marksmen have been able to kill fed laners from any other lane almost effortlessly due to the fact that their skill ceiling is much lower, their main source of damage is point and click. I'm still very much afraid of a fed ADC, you're just butt hurt that your Lane can't solo carry any more.
