Hello im main adc and playing this game for years mostly for fun . Can i know what purpose of adc after this patch ? I ask it bcs its very confuzing what you can actualy do on the rift ( i Mean what options left ) So far you had problem with assasin and mages that is 50 % of league champions ( or something like that ) , than you added and so called barble armor with 25 mgic dmg reflect + 35 armor for only 900 gold , cost 1300 gold and gives only 45 ad , on top of that tanks mages assasins can get kills easyer early game than adc .So not only you get countered just by one item even before you have chance to get main dmg item you are behind in everything .If you look at most of adc thair spells are complete crap for example jinx zap that ROOTS you while cast for 1.5 second same as cait Q , tristana jumb has long time just starting jump and traveling in it for ages , so basicly most of adc dont have instant cast spells what make early game even worse .Before that patch you can arguebly deal with tanks ( bcs it was pain anyway even if you was fed and tank has 0 kills he still gona tank you or even kill you 1 vs 1 ) .

My point is that by aka indirect nerfs for Riven and Yasuo with new reflect items you putting all adc in spot when thay have no enemy that thay are good against .All what left its to focus towers and creeps ?????? Late game will be even more harder bcs of new , and belive me not only tanks will take this item .And you know even if you get lifesteal on adc what is dramaticly expencive compared to new 900 gold armor item that just counter it completely it wont solve anything at all + some adc use CRITS + Blood Lust only with no vamp items at all , those boilds are double dead .

Would apreciate Riot games responding to this .I realy hope you care about forums and all game roles , and you will tell everyone what adc purpose and goals after 7.13 . Having feeling that when you rework something you looking on a problems with 1 - 5 champions of league missing all picture and its happening every big patch .

The reflect damage on the new Thorns passive for both Bramble Vest and the completed Thornmail is dramatically less than it was before. Often an ADC's first back is with 1300 gold for the BF sword, so you can't really compare prices. You're not laning against anyone who would buy such an item. If your complain is grevious wounds then ADC's role would've died with the introduction of ignite. Your enemy ADC can even buy Executioner's Calling for 800 gold. If you lane against a Varus, he has free wounds in his kit.

Also, if you're a fed ADC and you're not 1v1ing a tank, then you're doing something wrong. Between kiting, damage, and life steal, you are NOT going to be losing to a tank, unless it's a Malphite or something who's actually outdamaging you by building AP. Countless times I've even forgone kiting as late-game Ashe to just face-tank the entire enemy team. Especially if you're fed and reached full build, it's quite easy to do.

All in all, there is nothing hurting ADC's this patch that either wasn't already available or will have much of an impact to their effectiveness. Grevious wounds has ALWAYS been around in some form and is not a new mechanic. It's not like Mundo dropped to a 0% playrate when Executioner's came out. Thornmail is usually a more viable purchase than some have made it out to be, all this patch will do is increase its purchase rate. With the return damage lowered as much as it is, you should have no problem against it. Late game the damage will be a joke compared to before.

Jungle ramus, top has TP and does it almsot every game if its not silver game .Bottom tower are easy to take as first tower .In alot of cases botlane getting camped by more stronger champions with cheap items that counters more expencive adc items on top of that adc has great cons as champions in general to start with .You dont play this game 2 vs 2 in botlane its 2 vs 5 .And all items are comparebale at this point .And you just forgeting that duo lane gets lvl up slower and as result are most invaded lane by TOP MID AND JUNGLE .Your post looks like you dont play this game . Getting item at first back is not that stable since before BF sword you can get killed by any of ganks from Elise that can dive you or anything else . And i asked a Clear question and i want an answer from riot on that ,not from comunity .Most of ya just gona protect your own opinion , i want to see actual opinion of people who works on this game not randoms that love to argue with no actual point of view .

I can even show some pro plays with examples when adc cant duel tank that sucked all game while thay are fed . YEs it deppends on tank also but amount of cc thay have now and low cost items that just effortless like item 3075 that you can just stand and get hit just retarded . make it reflect only melle dmg and than it will be nerf for yasuo and riven and item against assasins .
