So iv been wondering, why do top lanes like Darius and Garen have more dmg than ranged adc's like Vayne and Caitlyn? I mean it is their job too deal dmg. But if other champions can deal more dmg and take more dmg while being completely boss,, what is the point? we may as well just send Irelia bottom too snowball and leave Darius and Garen too duo top lane. I bet you would win that match. I main top lane btw so I'm not just an adc main crying about being under powered.
Well, at early-mid game they do have more DMG, because ADC needs a lot of gold to deal DMG. Late game though, ADC deals 1500+ DMG pers second! You think you van outdamage that with anything in game except male ADCs?
well jayce and gnar or yasuo could go bottom then and remove the ranged adc. they stil have poke. and your support will probably have poke as well so you don't really need the ranged adc. its just less physical dmg at a range. isn't more physical dmg at melee better. I mean adc;s don't even have a way too escape. Theyn rely completely on their team too peel for them. Unless maybe your playing ezreal.
better question: why haven't darius and garen been nerfed yet they are legitimately op, darius has a 90% ban rate
Darius and Garen are not even op. I can go jax or aatrox top and win my lane 10/0 under 10 minutes. Its just ranged adc's are very under powered.
Because they are melee. In turn for having higher damage potential, they are going to be taking more damage because they have to wade through people to deal their damage while in turn, RADCs can do the brunt of their damage from the "safety" of the backline.
lol they don't take more dmg... nasus top can 1 shot an adc if he gets trifroce first, and is able too farm his Q. whiel tanking 5 players for what? 15 minutes before returning to base for more health. Lol adcs are a joke.
They are melee
they dont have more damage. i mostly see the adc either do an equal amount of damage, or more in my games. the only time when i deal more damage over the course of a game is usually when bot lane loses and i win my lane. but to answer your question.
adc:
melee bruiser:
they excell in skirmishes and 1v1 scenarios but dont have the same siege potential and are more easily locked out of a fight. the more people are involved in a fight and the more cc is available to rotate against them, the harder it becomes for them to reach their desired target.
