Less Point and Click for Xin Zhao, Yi, Jax, Trydamere and Kayle.

Seriously, where does Riot get off with this. Are they trying the make the game "We want you to play ALL AD champions and nothing else because we are going to give you so many advantages to you while mages suffer from problems we can't be bothered to fix like early game mana and expensive, overpriced and shitty items compared to their AD counterpart."

Xin Zhao is another example of Riot's blindness when it comes to AD champions, most LCS picks with the exception of Lissandra (who will probably be gutted soon) and Lulu are AD based champions. It goes to show about how Riot actually perceive their own game.

Take the other MOBA game "SMITE" as an example, EVERYTHING in that game is a skillshot, there are no lock-on, point and click toxic abilities that are ALWAYS going to hit their target and the game runs just fine with being an ADC, actually being ABOUT SKILL and not about who can right click faster.

Xin Zhao, Jax, Yi, Trydamere and Kayle are ALL part of the same problem. They are a toxic design that because of different changes to various items are either TOO powerful or not powerful enough. All these were relics from another time that do not need to exist in the game today in their current form.

Riot have included skillshots in most of their reworked AD champions, like Fiora and Gangplank (his barrel mechanic) with some form of counterplay to them because I suspect that they are probably starting to see that people are getting a little pissed off in getting killed by something you CAN'T STOP or CAN'T BREAKAWAY FROM.

Against these champions, you HAVE to fight them because of the stupidly high mobility each on possesses. You don't have the option of running away unless you are a highly mobile champion. Most of these champs have point and click abilities (Kayle's Q, Yi's Q, Xin's Q and E)... simple examples of why they are TOXIC and OUTDATED designs.

All of these champions have to be reworked to fit the new example that Fiora, Poppy and Gangplank have made. THAT is how to add skill to AD champions.

not everything needs to be a skillshot, who cares

Smite may be fully skillshots, but most are very easy, and are basically point and click (Ao kuang Ult etc)

at some point, every moba has to take off the kid gloves and force you to take some damage when you screw up a game is not made more skillful by offering players more and more ways of getting out of trouble, skill is not getting in trouble in the first place just because smite is too cowardly to punish you doesn't mean that every other moba shouldn't do it either learn some fucking positioning

Okay, let us assume Riot changes Kayle's Q to a skillshot.

She misses it, wastes almost 2/5 of her mana bar and accomplishes nothing.
