I don't mind that the game is arround adc but like maybe just maybe there should be a limit?

it got to the point where the casters in the LCS are only casting what ADCs do in fights like theres a full dmg aurelion sol in the game thats making plays in the teamfights too?

Like i would prefer the casters casting the aurelion sol team fight because il be honest with you i kinda dont give a fuck that your casting the adc thats right clicking the front line for half the teamfight while the aurelion makes stuns the backline but no that doesnt deserve to be casted the adc almost killed maokai whooho??

He cast what the ADC does cause that's what matter the most in those game. If Aurelion dies, they don't lose the fight straight up. If Tristana dies, they lose the fight.

And that's a sign that ADCs are fucking broken.

That's a sign that ADCs need to be hobbled by the nerf bat.

They cast what the ADC is doing cause ... you know ... everyone tries to kill them and a lot of things happen around them?

Well......Aurelion kinda doesn't do much outside his stun? I mean the moment he´s used it he isn't as interesting anymore.

Most mages are like that, but because Aurelion only really 1 skillshot aside from his ulti it grows more noticeable-

Like, most people probably find watching him float around trying to position his stars about as interesting as the marksman right clicking , then you add the fact that a lot of stuff happens around the marksmen and suddenly they are more interesting.

As for the reason you lose fights if the marksman dies.....no other champ can kill enemy tanks anymore except a very rare few.

Send Aurelion to kill enemy Chogath with item 3194 ? It will take "ages" and it wouldn't be suprising if cho killed aurelion first with E+ auto attacks.....

Nearly the same on maokai, seju, zac and a few other tanks, send mage to kill them? GG mage will lose the 1v1 because they don't really cope well with the new tanks and their items.

Send marksman to kill tank? Depending on which one the time will vary but generally if the marksman has built properly ( AD itemization superiority galore) then most tanks will die within 20 seconds.

Marksmen focused or better suited at dealing with tanks might do it in under 10-15.

Vayne will do it in 7.

TL;DR

Mages aren't as interesting when they have dropped their combo, and they really suck at dealing with the updated tanks and their items.

Chances are the tank will kill the mage long before the mage get's anywhere, and that's why it's really bad if the marksman dies since that's the only champ capable of handling the tanks.

Tanks have been balanced to be weaker against sustained AD damage, and AD itemization is vastly superior when it comes to handling tanks too.

Thus one could say that half the reason marksmen are so important is because the tanks are so good and mages so mediocre at handling them.

really? I was thinking cho would just hit R and instantly delete whatever was there. That's what it feels like in game. Either way, I'm so confused about what Riot's trying to do with this game right now. Preseason should make everything a lot more interesting, either that, or completely busted.

Cho is kinda this huge creep that you gotta chain CC before he can gapclose or utilize his stoneplate properly, it's a silly situation and it's strange that Riot are leaving it like this.

But to be fair they are doing a lot of interesting things with new runes and masteries, i think the game will be a lot more lively with them so i can't say they aren't doing anything.

Oh and eve rework will be around soon too O-o

I just hope they nerf static shyv and RFC a bit, and add some AP items, then i would be fairly content.

Very hype for eve rework, she's a good champ, just needs to be... better?

I think the issue is how bad she is at "Proper" teamfights and how snowball reliant she is, kinda frustrating when she works but awful when she doesn't.

I mean what are you gonna say "AND AURELION STUNNED THEM..." I mean if you were talking about a mage that actually is exciting in the least (Im NOT saying Aurelion is bad or whatever but his main thing is his passive which is kinda hard to talk about) then i have seen them cast them.

I also see a lot of casting in the top lane.

The reason ADCs get a lot of attention is because they are the damage. Right now there are 3 tanks, 1 ADC and 1 AP damage. If the AP damage is Aurelion (who doesnt really do much in terms of casting) and there are 3 different tanks all protecting the 2 damage dealers who SPECIFICALLY do you cast.

With the exception of maybe a flank or a flash engage. The only person to CAST is the ADC.

Maybe if it was a damage jungler (cant have Lee be viable in the least remember?) or Fighter top (Cant have Fiora/Jayce/Kennan viable in the least remember?) then we would have more people to cast on. But a tank meta was what people wanted and its what they got.
