Defending ADC's VS Tanks
So im going to copy paste something i said on someones post cause i feel like more people need to read and understand this. The ADC hate circle jerk has gone on for waaaaay too long, and people dont seem to actually know what they're talking about.
i seriously dont think people who complain about ADC actually play this game.
Alot of people say Zeal items give too much stats / are too broken for how much they cost, now getting 1-2 Zeal items is cheap, but Zeal items are relatively useless without getting an item thats 500g more expensive than the most expensive armor item.
Also, if you're so mad about ADC's doing damage, here's a special item for you, 
POGGERS, thats more than 10% of an ADC's damage gone for 1100 gold! Wow! so expensive!
Also people say that ADC has the cheapest itemization in the game... really?
ADC Items:
- 3700g
- 3600g (this one is obviously not for everyone)
- 3600g
- 3400g
- 3400g
- 3400g
- 3250g
Those are the items that are more expensive than EVERY armor item in the game.
- 2600g
- 2600g
- 2600g
- 2600g
- 2600g
- 2600g
Now i totally get these ones are problematic for people, but realistically, these items dont do anything on their own without being in build, grabbing zeal items without IE is pointless, having a ton of crit and attack speed is good and all, but its useless without AD.
Same goes for armor pen, its good to have, can make tanks take damage, but without AD, its useless.
That's where ADC builds become much worse than tanks, they need to be built together to become useful, thats where the "power spike" comes from. Think about a 2 item + boots ADC vs a 2 item + boots Tank.
So for example : 
- 70 AD - 20% crit - 50% extra crit damage - 3400g
- 35% AS - 30% crit - 5% MS - 60-160 magic damage - 2600g
- 35% AS - 45 MS 1100g
Total of 70 AD, 50% crit, 70% AS (1.30AS) 50% more crit damage and 60-160 magic damage for 7100g.
Now : 
- 65 Armor - 20% CD - 500 Mana - 100% base AD proc - 2700g
- 800 HP - 200% Base Health Regen - 25% Max HP every 5 seconds out of combat - 10% CD - 2850g
- 30 Armor - Block 10% of Auto Damage - 45 MS - 1100g
Total of 95 Armor, 500 Mana, 800 HP, 30% CD, 200% Base Regen, AoE slow, 100% base AD sheen proc, 25% hp regen, 10% blocked auto damage (64% reduced physical damage) for 6650g.
So for 3 items, its 450g cheaper, and you get way more out of them.
But ADC is broken [slayer-jinx-wink]
