ARAM is Now About Who can CC the Enemy ADC Better

There's no reason I should be able to 1v3 a Nasus, Shen, and Vel'Koz with Free Week Jhin in ARAM.

ADC has become so strong in ARAM with the recent changes to runes, the mode has basically degraded into whomever is better and CC'ing the ADC. If you don't have an ADC, then you better hope the enemy team doesn't either. If your enemy has an ADC and your team doesn't, you better hope that there's a DC/AFK on the enemy side.

Even the worst ADC can dominate. The bottom level skill floor for ADC is way up right now. You don't have to protect your carry anymore, you just dive the enemy carry. I've played Galio just diving the enemy Tristana while the Enemy Olaf tried to solo our Caitlyn, and he lost everytime. The only factor in the ebb and flow of the ARAM game was whomever could CC and distract the enemy ADC longer.

No other champion is as impactful. ADC have Sustain, Damage, Self-Peel, and slows. They don't even need a team anymore.

If you can't end the game fast enough, a tank team will do it for you.

People here will argue adc's squishiness, but arent apc also as squishy or even squishier for not having life steal or qss? Now adc even has zhonyas(stop watch) or ga as well.

Though this preseason helped burst mage actually be able to do what they are supposed to do. To burst. So adc are not tooo overbearing.

Not to mention that I've been seeing 3 ADCs on 1 team in ARAM a lot to make things worse. I was even on a team yesterday with 3 ADCs (I was one of them) and we just ran right through them and took the first tower by 4 minutes...

Honestly, I haven't played on my track pad since the days when I would open up League during lunch at High School.

Next chance I get, I'm going to play ADC with just the track pad. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
