So nobody will comment how Riot Meddler actually confirmed that ADCs are assassins?

Meddler plans to give compensation buffs to Miss Fortune and Quin for Duskblade nerfs. Meanwhile half AD assassins that depend on it wont get any, and some that have been running rampant will. Totally not an adc-main opinion. He might have as well written. ADC=Assasin confirmed.

We'll be moving the Duskblade nerfs back to 8.6 so that we've got enough time to also do some compensatory work on champions who might be hit too hard otherwise. Not sure exactly what that compensation will look like yet. Possible (not guaranteed) candidates for buffs below. Most likely case where we don't buff is if a champion already has similar strength with Ghostblade or something else (they're not actually very dependent on Duskblade).: Wukong Zed Talon Rengar Quinn Miss Fortune Kayn Kha'Zix

Now lets analyze this: Shaco,Jarvan, Nocturne, and others wont be getting any compensation buffs even though they are assassins and all use Duskblade, yet we have Miss Fortune and Quin get one. Even though they have I.E. and Statik Shiv/Essence reaver to produce similar or better results.

This is why Riot doesn't post on these boards. Anything they say gets immediately twisted into a lie. Meddler never said ADCs are assassins. He never said everyone who uses Duskblade is an assassin. But any opportunity to make another shitty ADC circlejerk thread is enough reason to make up bullshit lies about what he said.

Then we will bitch and bitch about how Riot ignores us. We'll cry about Riot ignoring this board. Gee I sure wonder why as a thread that is a 100% lie about something he never said gets upvoted. People don't give a fuck about actual discussions. They just want more fuel for their shitty circlejerks

Two very particular cases that include the item as a core build apparently equals “all ADCs”.

Well of course duh. Adcs are hyper carries, lane bullies, tower takers, objective securers, utility picks, pick comp picks, teamfighters, sustain demons, and assassins. Oh and pokers too.

So because 2 champs are given compensation buffs out of the potential marksmen we have (who build it as a core item btw) suddenly all marksmen are assasins?

And what do ya know, out of a list of 8, only 2 are marksmen. Way to take things out of context just for an excuse to circlejerk.

There's a difference between attack damage caster Corki and attack damage carry Jinx as their primary role isn't bot lane, but mid lane or top. So Yes They are Assassins, but Miss Fortunes is more of a half and half as orb walking with W and her passive are marksman traits, but beyond that she's a caster. Caster's by a figurative definition are Assassin's as they're damage is generally burst damage just without hops and tricks

Quinn hasn't been an ADC for a while....

Quinn isn't an ADC

Clickbait title, terrible point. Welcome to the boards people!

No, ADCs are not assassins. Yes, these two are getting compensated as they run duskblade as a core item and MF was nerfed for non standard AD builds before.

Also, Quinn isnt a standard ADC.

Honestly nerf the item. Let it play out for a cycle that way you know who was affected and who was not. Buff accordingly.
Bugs me that ADC always get Compensation buffs with the item nerfs. I'm 100% positive they can fill in that slot with something and be equally if not more effective.

An MF buff for duskblade? Darn if only I built that item on her.

Jarvan isn't supposed to be an AD assassin and quite frankly it's not healthy for him to be played as one. Nocturne just got a buff. Shaco well he's got a plethora of other issues champion should be reworked IMO.

Meddler and Pheak both def confirmed for hating Shaco, that bias is why Shaco is so weak and why One Trick Shaco mains keep Meddler in the 40% win rate as an ADC. His salt runs deep.
