What about the "Opening botlane to other roles" thing Riot told us about?

Wasn't there mentions of new items allowing other roles to play bot coming at the same time as the Marksmen changes? Or is it for later?

I mean calm down, crit adcs are already getting nuked, we dont even know if they'll still be even playable after this.

You could always test on the PBE and see for yourself.

Spoiler: DPS is basically the same as live vs 100 armor targets when you use crit build.

Yeah, same.

By same you mean it does less damage to squishies.

By same you mean it costs 800g more total

By same you mean all adcs are now weaker in lane with base stat nerfs.

Easy to completely ignore all the negatives i know.

You know, crit adcs shouldn't be able to obliterate squishies.

They still can. Just played some Jinx. If anything she feels better than live.

Stormrazor -> Runaan's -> IE

Stormrazor gives her big Q pokes. With Runaan's of course you have the big AoE potential but also you keep Stormrazor's attack speed buff going all the time. Then you just build into IE, another Zeal, and whatever you need.

Why, a squishie is someone that doesn't buy defense, adcs build full dmg, so of course they should be able to kill squishies.

These were all necessary nerfs but to say these champs have been nuked is a huge exaggeration.

Spoiler: the power spikes and the cost of the items also matters, don't forget that the changes are for real games where majority of the time late game isn't reached. How Jhin having a insta win lategame item with Rageblade and still had a bad winrate: because games end before.

No, they are simply getting their power curve adjusted to how it should be. They will be even better late game against tanks. Just they don't spike from 2 items.
