Sacrifice mobility?

As a whole, ADCs are one of the most mobile classes of champions, right behind Assassins.

There are only a handful ( Ashe KogMaw Twitch Varus ) that are actually immobile. And they (supposedly) get compensated for it.

kog and twitch are how adc should works

And Ashe. Varus needs buffs.

Kog and Twitch can destroy the enemy team from insane range ... I've seen many times fiddle ult + twitch ult to 2v5.

it is what an adc is supposed to do, and an adc should die if he gets catch and played wrong unlike Kalista Vayne

Vayne sacrifices threat range.

Jinx has conditional mobility.

Corki is a caster ADC so more mage.

And Kalista is cancer.

All champions cannot be identical. Having relatives is fine.

ADC relatively are immobile, low defense, low utility.

However, there's exceptions.

Ashe is high utility but sacrifices some damage for it. Lucian is fairly mobile, but sacrifices his ability to take towers in sieges due to poor range. Graves gets fairly durable from his passive, but has to sacrifice safe positioning for his maximum damage.

Twitch is the closest ADC we have to the general definition. Also.

Jinx Rules were made to be broken. Like buildings. Or PEOPLE!

Kalista is a high mobility high utility adc with still a lot of damage built in unless you have 300 armor Vayne has a lot of damage still mobile unlike kog, and has a stun/knock back unlikes kog.

they must sacrifices utility no matter what and range isn't utility

so corki doesn't have utility but vayne jinx and kalista have utility

I'm curious as to when Riot made these comments, Cause I would think it would have been perfectly fine if they changed their minds. Then again, when they said that, they could have been talking about their base MS, which is lower compared to their melee counterparts.

For most modern ADC's, Mobility is their only defense, as they build glass cannon. Other wise the complaint about "X champion killing our carries" would be even worse. I also noticed that a lot of ADC's who don't have much mobility, or conditional mobility, (like Jinx) basically use CC instead.

But if your really complaining about Utility, you should look at Ashe and Sivir. The so called "Utility ADC" who can actually Start fights with their ults. Something that most ADC's lack.

I actually think Lucian is a perfect adc, he has some mobility, but hardly enough to make a huge difference if he's actually caught. Jinx, Ashe, Varus, Corki, Graves and others actually have decent designs and theme imo.

The only adc I think is plain fkin bullsh*t is vayne, not only is she the most mobile adc, she has the highest natural dps and a targeted CC, wtf, is that. No adc should have that kind of cc potential. No adc should be able to so easely rape their natural counters bruisers/tanks as easely as vayne does and just because there is a wall around, because there is almost always a wall around she can abuse.

And yeah, now people will cry but muh range... Her kit makes up for her lack of range, perhaps more so than any other shortranged adc.

And sure, Jinx also has hard cc, but it's a skillshot that takes time to arm, easy to outplay, but vaynes E makes her impossible to engage becasue of her extreme dps steroids, unless you outrange her.

She needs a fat nerf, she has practically and singelhandedly killed the "tank" meta.

while vayne is destroying the tank why isnt the enemy mid and adc focusing vayne as well?. vayne can only focus one person down at a time thanx to her passive being unable to affect more than one person at a time. just dont 1v1 or 2v1 her if you manage to screw up and feed her or if you have not managed to close off the game in time for her to reach hyper carry mode

Well, she doesn't have the highest DPS - this goes to Kog. She needs at least 3 shots to kill someone - Draven can kill the same squishy with just 2 - insanely fed Draven - with dragons + baron + pot + no boots - can 1shot squishies.

Uh, no. They sacrifice durability for damage.

Stop making up quotes.

A marksman is a ranged attacker that sacrifices defensive power and utility to focus on dealing strong, continuous damage to individual targets. Typically focused on using their basic attacks more than their abilities, marksmen have the capability to scale and deal out devastating levels of damage in the late phase of any game.

At no point does it say that they sacrifice mobility; the closest it gets is the bolded section.

Unless you sourced the incorrect reference, you made up the quote and falsely attributed it to Riot.
