Adc is basically a dead role right now

Yet i dont see riot having any plans to fix it?

Like make playing adc fun or atleast beareable again? Why do you think theres almost nobody maining adc past masters? Because the role is not only extremely weak/0 agency on game but its also extremely unfun to play as.

Every single new champ/rework has 100000 ways to instantly kill you whenver you enter their screen regardless how well they are doing, you have 0 impact at most stages of the game while all it takes is a trnity force for irelia to be able to solo carry whole games, why can most meta junglers and shit like graves not only impact every lane in the early game, but then also scale into a 1v5 machine? Literally no adc can do even 1/10th of this but its fine since jungle has to be broken i guess.

Like if everything is going to be so mobile and 1 shot then adcs need something to be able to play the game, like more range, more tankyness, better base stats, idk anything,.

{quoted} Every single new champ/rework has 100000 ways to instantly kill you

and when they dont, adc are fucking broken and no one else has game agency. because their entire point of counterbalance is that theyre instantly killable. if they arent instantly killable, theyre completely overbearing and lack any form of counterplay.

you dont fix the class by going back to the shitshow that was season 7.

the only way to fix them at this point is to finally find a solution to how auto attack range is counterbalanced in this game, but that would be a mammoth project, because it would redefine how every champion class is balanced towards each other.

league of legends doesnt have turn rates or other mechanics that limits how effective attack range is. so adc are only limited in how strong they can become by other classes that counter them and take them out before they can go off. so its always either adc or non adc that feel good to play. considering that adc only make a small portion of the champions, i advocate for the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few until riot as an actual solution to this binary class.

the problem is simple:

a) you deal carry level damage b) youre defensive enough to not immediately die to everything c) youre ranged

pick 2 and you have a balanced champion. adc need all 3 to feel good to play.

as long as there isnt a mechanic like turn rates in this game, that offsets the range advantage, there will never be ranged carries that are balanced in league of legends.

Some adcs aren't that defensive honestly, and they are fun to play. Mf isn't defensive at all other than maybe her movespeed bonus, she has no form of hard cc.

Some adcs aren't that defensive honestly, and they are fun to play. Mf isn't defensive at all other than maybe her movespeed bonus, she has no form of hard cc.

only reason is because she deals a ridiculous amount of burst and can actually manage to outburst assassins at times and bursts down other adc.

but then were back to her basically having everything on the list, if she outbursts anything that could potentially kill her, while being able to act as a carry and dps down tanky targets, and shes a problem.

or its because she builds full lethality, but then she doesnt have carry level damage, since armor and health dunks on her and shes basically a ranged assassin and generally not unlike mages when it comes to her role on teams.

ADC will be a dead role when people stop playing ADC bot lane 100% of the time.

I main support and I play with/against ADCs in 95% of my games. It's not a dead role.
