Bot lane needs to stop snowballing so hard.

I'm tired of having my games solely decided by a fed ADC. Top and Mid both go 4/0/6 in lane, but the enemy Vayne that went 8/0/0 just goes around shredding literally everyone, solo winning every teamfight, and taking towers in 3 auto attacks. I'm not sure how to fix this, but I think that two possible solutions are to increase the price of popular attack damage items or to make the "less gold on kills" thing specific to the killer and not the killed. I'm no Rioter, but I believe that there is a way to make Top and Mid actually matter again.

Taking towers in 3 auto attacks. Pretty sure you're exaggerating there.

Surprisingly not far off. AD and specifically armor pen builds are far too common nowadays, so even without things like red buff/baron/elder the sheer amount of shred you can get is rather obnoxious.

It really is the role of the dice, sometimes your side does well, something thier side does well, whos to say what you get. maybe its the champions they picked or the champions your side picks. Its not 100$ certain to snowball all the time, but adc is adc for a reason. if your team is unable to help carry for your adc's failure, its a feelsbadman situation.

I get that lanes just sometimes snowball at random, but it seems like bot does it the most

Thats why they call it ADC (Attack Damage Carry), They expect this one player to literally carry the game for them when the time comes. sometimes it works, sometimes the other team does it better. RIOT was the one who finalized roles: Top SOLO, Jungle SOLO, Mid SOLO, Bot ADC/Support [zombie-brand-facepalm]

It is called the ADC because they output the most AD meaning they carry your team in terms of teamfight damage. This shouldn't mean that they are the one who completely solo carries the team.

And yet it does, thats their role/job. I dont know how many times i have scrolled through Boards and read about how OP and ADC was, or how the other teams ADC was flaming or trolling. Its a huge role and alot of players expect alot from them. There are alot of Players who rather be ADC than anything else because of this. Its just the way it is. Consider it bad luck that you had to go agaisnt a really good ADC with a competent Support. Feelsbadman

So wait, If you're going 4/0 in lane why are not not helping your jungler, adc and support by roaming bot killing the enemy bot lane and taking dragon?

I do agree that botlane right now is VERY snowbally but 4 man ganks bot is very common in this meta. I feel like most of the problem comes from you not helping out your team.

I usually play top, so if I want to help bot in a pinch I either have to use my teleport, or I have to walk all the way down. Even if I'm playing Sion, It takes a while to get into ult range. Plus, my ult might be on cooldown.

I wanna say that adcs should start getting scaled up per level in some aspects, instead of some adcs having all their passive power at lv1. Ex, Jhin can have a lower 4th shot crit damage until he scales up into a madman (IE still speeds it up, eventually hitting the 250%).
