Why does it feel like almost every single champ is designed to counter adc. Most games as adc constist of getting chain cced to the point where half the game is spent not being able to move at all. Meanwhile support is split pushing toplane as soraka

Because you have no perspective and you're whining about your ADC not being able to counter every other class in the game.

Of course you are getting chain cc'd. You're the one dealing the most damage so why the fuck would they focus the 0/7 Maokai?

Adcs are legit a joke, if they don't have any means of cc, escape, or burst, they just get 1 shotted by backlining instagib chumps like MasterYi Zed Kayn , early to late game constantly. I mean lvl 6 you only got 1k health and champs like Ashe Kindred are like severely depended on items, while champs likeYasuo only need 2 to pwn u.

Except Yi, Zed and Kayn are melee but about as tanky as ranged adcs. So they often die in a flash when facing organised comps, meaning yes, they are not as problematic as described; Kayn lives longer with R tho but then again, if he's really caught then it's just delaying the inevitable so it's not gonna do much.

Also, Twitch, Vayne, Draven also only need 2 items to pwn as well. You can just use 1 utility based marksman and another one that's just nerfed into oblivion, as the representatives for adcs.

lol in what world are Melees are about as tanky as adcs?If all melees are as tanky as adcs, then everyone would just play ranged carries, these are assassins, and what do they do? They shut down your squishy carry hard as hell, Enlighten me, oh better watch out for a speedy Gonzales item 3193 item 3800 Chogath ult. pow 1,2, shotted dessert for assassins. Did you consider the lethality buff? Now power level champs like them are rewarded more dmg for lvling up instead of scaling w/ your lvl so now you are ultimately cheesed to death.

I was talking about Yi, Zed and Kayn as per your examples. Because they are about as tanky as adcs despite being melee.

You can't just throw up Cho here all of a sudden. It doesn't mean anything.

Also, you'd notice most ranged adcs actually have the same amount of and/or more CC and self peel than those 3 guys in question, not to mention having dedicated supports while they obviously don't. So yes, it means you're just bad.

The only ranged adc I know that is tanky and a counter to all other adcs is Urgot and the other melee adc is Mordekaiser having less hp, hp reg, and arm thanAshe, did you even look at the stats lvl 1 of ranged adcs to the melee I listed?They are Melees will always be tankier >than adcs at all, also I don't think you'd have a support be able to save you unless it's bloody Soraka because they are assassins, meant to 1 shot you, a squishy carry, with their combo in 2 secs.

You simply get punished for bad positioning. When you play ADC it's either that or your team (specially support) doesn't know what the ADC is and how to play with one.

9/10 times IMO it's because of bad positioning.

Pretty much all adcs are late game champions. They need a competent support, a jungler that can keep an eye on bot (as well as everywhere else), maybe a mid laner that will gank bot from time to time, and if you have a top laner that knows how to use a good teleport...

Basically, adc's kind of needs a team that can actually cooperate with them and not let them die, which sucks since most people treat this as a free-for-all clusterf*ck.

Of course, that's all assuming the adc doesn't just suck.
