item 3504 OH ITS THAT TYPE OF SEASON BETTER BUCKLE UP!

DO YOU PLAY BOT? WELL YOU DO NOW!

CRIT TOOK A BUFF AND ADCS ARE UP TO SNUFF!

IT'S PROTECT THE KOGMAW EVERYGAME! (except kogmaw/ still bad)

Yeah in all reality the crit changes are focing power back to botlane and into hyper carries. Watch out for the pesky enchanters as they make their adc into a gatling gun.

Lulu Janna Karma Taric Morgana Soraka Zilean

I would like to say now that I have misspoken after thinking about this post and the responses I have gotten.

We are not in the ardent meta..persay but we are in the same game play with the crit adcs or hyper carries, This playstyle of ADC is back and its huge.

Everyone who said that it was enchanters during the ardent meta that were to strong were right. Supports were very good. They gave great buffs to the adc in lane and late game. Kog/Lulu Janna, Morgana, Bard, Etc. Rakan

But now it is not the support that is to strong. It is the now the ADC. Adcs are now stronger due to the nerfs other roles along the way. The crit item rework has now just pushed ADC Champs to just push waves and get to tower plates. Gold equals AD. any crit adc in league is good. The stats are just boosted more than others.

But hypercarries in late games such as Kai'sa, Vayne, with their true damage can seem to out class crit adcs at certain points.

Thanks for discussing with me .

My god. Just because Adc is playable again doesn’t mean we are in the ardent meta. Jesus Christ you people just wanna cry.

I actually wanna know what makes you think ardent meta is back when adcs are still not as strong as they were before the nerfs they received???

With recent itemization especially to crit items adcs are stronger. The supports are no longer buffing the adcs to an extent like the Real Ardent meta. Now the Meta is resembling that same playstyle but its not the supports. Adc's do not rely on ardent in this meta and its true. Adc's now get ad faster and with faster games they hit power spikes that cause stat checks that other roles can't.

Not really. People are just screeching this because adc is actually a role again and isn’t just 3rd midlane.

They buffed ADCs, not enchanters. Ardent meta was about enchanter supports, not ADCs and anyone who believes otherwise is an idiot.

well it was like 50% enchanters, 25% adc and 25% tanks to be fair

which is why i had no fun

no all 3 were a problem

ardent was busted as were enchanters but lets not forget most adcs were far stronger with (zeal and a bf) than mages who were stacking a tear most of the time

Thank you, for this post. IT did help a lot in seeing that the power isn't lulu when buffing an adc it is the adc that's just attacking faster do to what I think to be itemization and gold for ad.

Didn't knew that Ezreal Lucian Draven were strong in the Ardent meta.

Maybe my memory is getting worse because the current meta doesn't remind me to Ardent at all.

Thank you for saying this because you were right. Its not hyper carry champs in the games as adc over all especially these three can gain gold fast for fast ad.

Ardent Meta was hilarious. I remember the jokes about the Victorious skin going to an item for the first time in League history.

Still salty. Season 2: Ori everywhere S3: Ori and K6 S4: Ori and not Ori S5: orianna, azir and whatever you can manage S6: Ori and Aurelion S7: Ori Azir, Ryze, Syndra S8: SWAAAAAIIIIIIIN and then we get VictOrianna in s8 when her 6 year reign of terror was over.

Meanwhile Swain picked in 3 positions in like 60% of games. No Victorious Swain though.

What about the Lulu + Yi strat in season 8?

Enchanter and hypercarry is a viable strat. If the carry is adc, apc or melee doesnt matter

This is exactly how ardent played but now its not that lulu is buffing yi to much its now that yi is strong. Same principle as if a nami buffs a strong draven.

Thank you though this example helped me see that you are correct that lulu yi is very viable. And that its not the support that makes the adc. Its the adc that makes the support.
