Do something about ADCs and buff Vayne pl0x. The things from an ADC's POV.
First of all, throughout this post I might seem a bit salty but I am not.
Okay so... I've been maining ADC/marksman for the past 3 years now and even if riot has always managed to somehow make ADCs to have less impact as the time passes, I've stuck through it. Smite/TP/Cinderhulk toplaners, broken junglers, 2 tps on mid and top, 5v2s in the bottom lane. However, this is the season that frustrated me the most when I played ADC.
Look at the impact that the ADCs had each season. Season 1-2-3 if your ADC got fed and was good, you won game 70% of the time. Season 4 it was a bit less snowbally but you could still pop off. Season 5 it was more about other lanes roaming to bot and doing stuff together. And now... welp it feels like ADCs and even supports have the lowest impact on the game. It is not fun to play botlane any more even though the role of the ADC is to be one of the primary carries of the teams, you are the one that your teammates should be counting on when it is late game along with mid laner. I found myself to win more and able to impact the map from other positions such as jungle and mid lane. It is just so simple to do good and carry 1v9 and I think it is unfair. If a Lucian is 10/0/4 and a Mid/JG/Top is 10/0/4, they are always scarier than the Lucian.
Also I would like to see more diversity and more skill in the ADC champion pool. Every single patch it's like there are only 3-4 champs that are really good and then the rest if you pick them, you will be in a disadvantage. With the end of Season 5 Riot said they want diversity and make the Marksmen champs to feel unique, yet most of them have similar mechanics and require next to no skill to play them at a really decent level (examples would be Caitlyn and Jinx, sure you can do some cool tricks, but no one should be proud that they are a right click god...). Currently the ADCs that are viable and require some skill are Lucian (but he isn't great as was nerfed and most champs do better than him), Jhin (to a certain extend) and Ezreal. I think we need more champions like that. It makes the game and the role more exciting to play. It separates good and bad players.
Finally, please buff Vayne because she is bae <3. But on a serious note, I think since assassins are going to be meta (and will probably be broken...) Riot should buff Vayne as she is the queen of outplaying people. She is a champion that is exciting to observe and play as she is one of the most fun champions once mastered. I've spoken with many ADC mains and they said that they would love to see Vayne back as a viable champion. As to what you could do with her I am not really sure. Buffing her q was good but I mean split pushing isn't really that "acceptable" in today's League of Legends world. Currently, her problems are that her laning phase is really weak and then in Mid/Late game she becomes really strong but doesn't matter because she can't use the damage that she does because of her low range. For example if an Ezreal is zoned out of the fight, he can still use his abilities to do damage, Vayne cannot do that. Maybe you could give her a little bit more range as she doesn't have any real abilities (you use Q to farm/stealth/trade and that's it. Her E is unreliable and not that much damage.) so she won't be as abuse-able as she is inside and outside of lane. Currently most people max q and build BF into a Zeal item and it feels like her attacks are pretty slow compared to when she built B.o.R.K. so what you could do is to give her an Attack Speed steroid when she uses her ult or if that is too broken, an AS steroid when she comes back from stealth which decays over time and can be gained as many times as you become invisible.
Maybe I am just a salty loser ADC main that doesn't know what I am talking about after 6 years of playing this game I guess. Thanks for reading have a good day.
