I am going to feel sorry for adc mains once preseasonhits.

Meh. They never gonna hit their precious adc overlords. Add counterplay to assassins, rite. So basically Assassins will have a hard time killing squishies that should be dead in under 2 seconds because they're greedy enough to build full damage, while they'll be 2 shot by adc's, cause it's healthy and has counterplay apparently to be a ranged hypercarry damage threat with mobility and sometimes CC and general utility as well.

Tired of people not realizing ADC's are the real balance problem of League. If a class of champion (marksmen) has been occupying a role (adc) for so long, they can't be balanced, and there's a huge margin before they become out of meta. In other words, they're blatantly overpowered; EVEN if they are the most skilled role, require good mechanics, aren't easy to play. The sheer power of their range, itemization, scalings is, on a technical level, competitive level, absurd. It's basically like they are always among the FOTM, strongest champions of every patch. Other roles have changes in classes. From mages to assassins, with even a lot of variety; waveclear-based, burst-based, dps-based, teamfight-combo based; for toplane, tanks, divers, juggernaughts, mages, even some marksmen. Botlane doesn't. Oh and support are too. After all, they've been with ADC all along. The combination of those 2 classes is just too good and beats every other lane setup. Fortunately not good enough yet to get rid of one source of experience (jungle) in favour of a second adc+support toplane. Yet.

tfw op has no idea what he's talking about

i cri.

:(

Actually ADC's are going to be better off. Most of the assassins now have been changed with delayed damage as a central theme. No more Leblancs popping out from a wall and instantly throwing a Q>R>E combo, 1 shotting an unsuspecting jinx or jhin then blinking back with her W. To add to this, Flat armor pen is gone and replaced by the lethality stat which punishes early game armor pen stacking to cheese squishy targets and only comes back to full power when everyone is level 18.

I didn't check all changes but I was under the impression that Assassins have been made so that they can't instagib you anymore?!

marksmen had an entire season of being broken.

Nothing about this update actually changes much for adcs.

Assassins are just going to be doing the same thing to them more or less
