How to Fix ADC

Before reading this don't judge me based on only being level 16 this is my second account due to my first one getting perma banned but I'm now reformed and close to honor level 3.

"I get where you're coming from, but there has still been success on ADCs that I've seen. Right now crit isn't getting the power carries are used to" -Tank 2018

This quote is imo what's wrong with riot. They make a huge meta changing patch that completely ruins the bot lane and the meta surrounding it and then try to play it off as if it what's best for the game when it clearly isn't and most of the league community hates these changes and are leaving the game left and right like when overwatch came out. Currently in the Eu LCS Karma, Heimerdinger and Janna have been played instead of real adc's since the crit changes completely killed the role of the adc's. Not only did they kill all the previous adc with these changes but with the new bruiser items coming out allowing them to do more damage and survive longer no one is ever going to play adc again, due to 1. the item changes 2. how powerful bruisers are going to be and how little counter play adc's have against them.

So my Idea for change is just to revert the all the changes to infinity edge but keep the rest the same. Yes I know riot don't do full reverts but they have to this time or the game will die with their stubbornness.

even most adc mains at higher mmr agree that these changes are good for the game.

youre not the majority. youre actually just a vocal minority.

the scaling issues of crit marksmen are more a result of games times being too short in general, than with crit marksmen. theyre a lategame scaling class and never deserved the early power spikes they had since sseason 7.

riot has recently nerfed turret health, buffed turret bounty, buffed the baron empowered minions a while back, while they also nerfed barons damage by literally half and made it easy to take. rift herald was buffed aswell.

basically they have introduced a bunch of "win more" mechanics that snowball the shit out of a game when youre already ahead.

if they just tune down the snowball and make games longer than 25 minutes, then crit marksmen will have more time and more chances to scale which would make them more relevant again. but theyre still not meant to be as strong early as they were before the marksmen changes.

also, bot lane champion diversity is here to stay. meddler has confirmed long a go, that one of their intended goals is to make marksmen less mandatory to a teamcomp and allow us to replace them with other types of carries. bot lane has just too long been locked to a singular champion class, while every other lane has a large pool of viable champion types.

Yea Botlane diversity is great and it introduces new elements into the games but please rito find a better way to do it than making most adcs unplayable to the point were people ignore every adc expect for Lucian and ezreal but they’re basically always perma banned and then after those 2 are gone the most meta thing to play is a support, since when were supports supposed to take up a carry role in a normal team and yes I get the 1 damage 4 support combo is broken but it shouldn’t be the only viable strat. I personally botlane diversity will help the game live on but not if it kills all the previous adcs and forces people to relearn the role there needs to be some kind of middle ground to where you can plan an adc without just losing every game and where supports and mages don’t force the marksmen out of the lane.

Basically to summarize diversity is great rito just implimented it in a toxic way that hurts the game by pushing almost all previous champions out of the adc role and giving 1 damage 4 supports so much power people play supports as adcs and have much better results than an actual marksman or other type of carry. Another

Another problem with this change is that 90% of marksmen only work bot lane and by forcing them out of lane they have no where else to go meaning rito is forcing them out of the game due to diversity being more important than keeping a stable meta.

Just solod Baron as Warwick Wich led us to snowball a close game.

These changes are amazing for botlane, just some weaker picks in need of some love.

Jinx main btw.

I get where you’re coming from I just think there should be a way of doing this without completely gutting crit adcs and something is especially wrong when people play Janna adc. When it’s more viable to play a support rather than a real adc serious changes needs to be made.

Crit adc shouldn't get gut. Janna in the adc position should be an option tho.

Yea I agree there should be diversity but not at the cost of any play style
