Marksmen TOO WEAK I QUIT!!

THE MØNEY SHØT·Jul 22, 2018·2 votes·693 views

4 years of practice went to waste, and instead of buffing other marksmen every patch to make them competitive. Riot keeps trying to find a way to make it weaker.

Mages and Fighters do way more damage without complete items
Reckless and Doublelift i know exactly how they feel when they said they keep trying to find a way to make themselves useful. Marksmen is useless role and a waste of practice.
I watch the NA LCS 7/21/18. The game went from strategic game to a clown fiesta. Every game i've seen at competitive play is a clown fiesta.
The game no longer takes skill and people who practice a role for years just became completely useless.
The best players in the world are getting dumpster on because the game official a bad game.

Welcome to what every non-ADC has had to deal with at some point in League's history. We have seen it before, sometimes multiple times, and so we have no pity for you guys.

it's alright because now the game is no longer a strategy game. it's a clown fiesta.

Better a clown fiesta than another year of trying protecting some guy that has poor positioning from himself...

Adaptation is something every other role is able to do. Get with the times.

Positioning and being a glass cannon took skill. Where tanks and bruisers can kill you under turret with no completed items. this game no longer takes skill.

That's more to do with turrets being a trash fire, than bruisers and tanks being OP. You know this.

And tanks generally takes quite some skill in higher elo range where skill is actually a thing, because they would get kited for days. So there's that, too.

It takes a skill that you have never practiced. Just because you have years of no experience with it doesn't mean it is takes no skill, it only means you don't have the knowledge to recognize it.

I know how much skill an ADC takes, I'm not going to belittle your history with League when my mains are weak, and I expect you to not belittle others just because you are frustrated while experiencing things you are not used to.

Some marksman mains will leave, but others will adapt and learn as every other lane has had to do at one point or another. Be the kind that doesn't give up and complain on the boards.

At least when the game only had 1 single strategy and meta team comp it was a strategy game... oh wait.

Ok, but you're not playing in competitive, and the solo queue meta is completely different.

They are re-buffing adcs on the PBE right now.

The changes to IE were absolutely necessary for non-pro play. It is a good thing for the long-term success of the game. I think the pro marksmen players have it worst, but they'll be back; wouldn't worry about it too much.

It's going to take League awhile to settle in to a really healthy rhythm. There are a lot of systems in the game at launch that simply weren't very healthy. They are systematically addressing those as they can.

I'm not going to pretend that they have hit that rhythm yet, but my personal opinion is that crit was the single biggest issue with League. Now that it is [hopefully] fixed, I think the game will be a lot better going forward. It was a big hurdle to overcome; the disruption is just the cost of making a change like that. Doesn't mean it's bad.

You're just figureing this out? look at the past years. Everything an adc has ever touched got nerfed into the dirt.

THE MØNEY SHØTJul 22, 20181 votes

Yeah. at least the game took skill then. this game now is straight clown fiesta

All of these marksmen are still viable...

These are the best marksmen you can play, just because some marksmen are bad doesn't mean all of them are bad...

Not sure why the game actually requiring adc mains to adapt and evolve, which everyone but the adc has been subjected to honing this skill for so long, is somehow an indication that he game take less skill.

Sure, one can make arguments how the game in general takes less skill now, but if you want to use adcs as a starting point for that, I don't think there is an argument to be had.

The role is the same, 'Bottom', you need to play a carry just at the moment it's up to you if that carry is a AD that builds crit or something else.

I understand the gripe but 1 simple change in ADC items and the change in meta (in pro at least) went from Heimer never being played in any role or treated as a joke to a 60% pick ban in EU.
