ADCs are not weak!

They are just useless. Not the champs themselves but the players. I have never seen an ADC that actually does anything useful. While team is at dragon, they are farming. When there is a team fight, they are farming. When enemy team is balls deep in your base, they are farming the jungle. When they are full build, they are still farming the jungle.

ADCs are not weak at all if they are played the way they should be played. The players who choose to play ADC just make no meaningful contribution to the team because they are too worried about having the highest CS.

It has to be all the ADC mains playing their main role incorrectly. Not the fact that ADC is in a terrible spot.

ADCs would be fine if they would stop being scared to fight and just playing like a farming bot every game.

ok... this statement angers me to oblivion

adcs cannot "just fight" because we are a beacon of death, our only defense mechanism is range, when our range is breached we are screwed, we cannot just right click since we MUST keep the distance and it isn't just our autoattack range, we gotta take in consideration dashes and even flash -.- if we explode while doing 1 autoattack worth of damage you'll rage even more, also if we fight and live out of assists our damage becomes insufficient for a proper fight.

So you tell me, should we fight under the possibility of dying because no one is peeling you anymore or should we farm until we hit our power spike and we become relevant? :T

ok so just afk farming the entire game and never doing anything useful is better than at least trying to fight in a team fight?

no that is not how this game works. if you are scared to fight go play minecraft on peaceful creative then nothing can bother you.

hahahahaha, really? that's your argument? guts? oh boy, apparently someone isn't aware that league of legends is a numbers game, no matter how many clicks you throw at the screen, if the enemy has more damage than you, you're screwed.

The way you try to portray the game is exactly how it DOESN'T work, league of legends is characterized for farming on early game in order to obtain an advantage over your opponents, if you cannot grasp this concept I suggest that YOU move on to another game where you can mash your buttons to your contempt

im talking late game. if you would have read the OP you would understand that. ADCs should not be farming late game or farming while a jungler is ganking.

Yes, clearly spoken by an ADC main here. Obviously you know everything a marksman does. /sarcasm

News flash, the champions that you play ( Nocturne Pantheon Rammus Hecarim ) are burst champions. You can normally murder something in one spell rotation. Where as it takes an ADC maybe 10 autos early game to kill a squishy, even more if there are shield or healing you have to counter. So, let's just assume the ADC can attack every half second, so it takes them 5 seconds to kill someone. I'm pretty sure hitting QWER is much shorter than 5 seconds. And most champions in the game can do this to a squishy, which makes having to outplay for a minimum of 5 seconds very difficult when 3 different enemies are throwing abilities at you.

If there is a big wave threatening our tier 2 top tower, I'm going to react to it so we don't lose the tower. If you decide we need to do dragon right then, then that means we may lose this top tower if I come down to help you. Or there is the wave top threatening a tower and my top laner is invading the enemy jungle trying to contest their buff. If I run over to try and help save them from the 1v4 they are now in, we may be able to get a few kills, trade kills, or feed the enemy while all the while losing our top tower. Or I can get this wave and hope my teammate survives their dumb invade.

I will admit, I've had a jungler gank and the ADC just stands there farming while I run up to help the jungler, but those have been few and far between. Most ADCs want to help but can't simply because they don't do enough damage and get flamed for it, they step forward to do minor damage and get caught and get flamed for it, or they farm and hope to win that one team fight later once they do actual damage.

I've also had a jungler who was full build specifically take farm from a 5 item ADC/support, so don't act just like ADCs farm stupidly when they are full build.

you lost all credibility when you said rammus was a burst champ.

Clearly you've never played AP Rammus.

deltemp951512Feb 6, 20171 votes

clearly you have never played ranked if you are seeing AP Rammus in your games lmao xD

DemainaNyxFeb 7, 20171 votes

Yes, because no one ever plays stupid choices in ranked. Ever. Never ever does the 0/10 top laner at 5 minutes continue to build full damage and complain he's never getting ganks. No one would ever be that dumb. /sarcasm

deltemp951512Feb 7, 20171 votes

I never have that problem and have NEVER seen a full AP Rammus in ranked.
