Can we make an ACTUAL ADC post already...

These "ADCs ARE ASSASSINS BUT RANGED LEL" Posts are getting REALLY annoying and are also incredoubly obvious upvote farming.

I will tell you EXACTLY why ADCs are strong right now.

Lets look at the main offenders Draven Twitch Caitlyn . All late game super carries that focus more on raw damage than 2.50 attack speed (KogMaw Jinx ) So we gotta look at high damage dealing items.

While Yes item 3812 and item 3072 give a lot of AD they arent the issue.

Also can we stop saying AD items have a ton of built in survivability in them? Yes there is a few of them, but if you look at builds, ADCs arent building full damage reduction and lifesteal, because yes while the AD is high they DO lose damage, and do you know why.

Ill tell you where the issue is... The NUMBER 1 ADC ISSUE LIES IN item 3031 and item 3086 .

All of these ADCs like crit, and it doesnt matter how much AD an item gives you, that AD is based off of how much Crit its worth. 70AD ooh boy my Crits now hit for 200 more damage (-armor+Crit reduction)

The real issue with ADCs is** they are late game carries hitting their stride way earlier thanks to the gold cost downgrade on all crit items **during the tank update. While this was supposed to help ADs compensate for tanks getting more armor but less health, for everyone that wasnt a Tank, they just blow them up more.

Let me put more emphasis on that

*** they are late game carries hitting their stride way earlier thanks to the gold cost downgrade on all crit items ***

That is the issue with ADCs right now period.

Now how do we fix it?

item 3031 Cost up

item 3086 items Cost up

item 3812 AD down 15-20. Cost down 100g

Pretty self explanatory and this would fix a lot of issues with ADCs right now.

Now the Deaths Dance change is strictly to get it out of Dravens hands early on. It gives so much AD that his Q LOVES IT. With this change the semi tanky AD damage dealers will still build it, but it wont be such a Draven monster. This will cause Draven to need more gold like all the other ADCs to get that early Crit or Bloodthirster he likes.

FINALLY an actual post that talks about ADCs that isnt complete upvote farming, in fact i bet that a few people disagree with the whole damage reduction part. Well talk about these changes below i guess and if you think they would actually help.

the crit changes seem fine but leave dd alone imo they could just up some adc stats so they dont get as blown up maybe increase their base armor some but not on say draven or cait as they are already stronger than other adcs

the crit changes are fine along with the adc class as a whole. Its the main offenders which need to be looked at instead. Thanks for finally saying this btw!
