Do the people that complain about ADC actually play this game?
It's not nearly as bad as it was before, it used to be every other post was complaining about them, but still people do think ADC is some broken role that will never ever be balanced, and honestly, do the people who say that actually play League?
Some ADC's outperform others, but thats the same with every role and lane in the game, its just how it works,
The main champs i see get meme'd on h a r d 24/7 are
( sometimes
) and i wanna talk about some things that people blatantly ignore in regards to ADC (and squishies in general for that matter)
-
90% of the time when an ADC gets hit by any form of CC in a team fight, unless they have some godly frontline or peel, they're as good as dead, like have you ever been hit by a Morg Q as a squishy in a team fight? that shit feels like you actually age a year as soon as it hits you, especially on ADC's that have no form of escape or dash, and yes
exists, but we're at the point where every new champ has some form of CC, its rare that you get into a game where not 4/5 champs on the other team have some form of hard CC. -
How much damage everything does, now ADCs are used as the "OP 1 shot roles" like theres no counter play to auto attacks, even tho there is and everyone uses it lol, but ill get into that later, but seriously,
walks up and uses his E, thats 40%-50% of your HP gone with the normal build
just him in general tbh
Tank or AP, pretty much doomed if he lands 1 ability
(i dont have a problem with this champ at all, i find him fun to play against) but he 2 shot me the other day from full, so that was cool
standard mage build = 400-600 AP at 20 mins, pretty much instantly die from Q-R or W-R
beam me harder daddy, 50% of your HP gone with just the ult
(recently past 2-3 days) good g o d he hurts, idek know what it is, but jesus hagen
and
oh my gentle jesus, what ungodly things these champs are, tanky as hell and borderline one shots, and booty blasting you with true damage, execute ults, and the h e a l i n g
last but not least, this beast of an 8 year old, if she lands one of her 4 low CD abilities, you're as good as dead, like seriously she puts you to sleep in game, and hits you so hard it puts you to sleep irl, like what is this creature
there's more champs, but you get the gist of it, ill even meme on ADC for you to make it seem less biased
if she goes lethality and the q bounce kills something, you're doomed and if she channels a full good ult, it can kill an entire team
she takes towers too quickly, and her CC cancelling jump is stupid
idk what this man is, but he ruins everything
i GET why people hate the the true damage, i dont like it on any champs, it shouldn't be in the game imo, but i find the invisibility to be more annoying
But i still find ADC to be almost the least of this games worries in terms of balance, some people's main argument is "its obvious they're broken, since there has to be one in every game" well yeah, but there should also be a tank and someone with AP in the game, its about creating a well rounded comp, having a front line, ranged damage, close range damage, CC and peel is a sure way to win if you can play the game and comp properly,
But also there's always exceptions with like Lucian / Corki mid, or Vayne / Quinn top, and typically those are cheese picks that win lane but get out scaled.
Same can be said about Malzahar support, Zyra support, Lux support, Vel'koz support, Veigar support, Brand support, and Zoe support, because mages get a lot of damage from almost no items, and for a long time bot lane was exclusively squishies, it was easy to abuse the lane, but usually get outscaled without a huge lead.
still things like, Yasuo bot, Ziggs bot, Azir bot (this is fun as hell 5/7 would recommend) GP bot, Ori bot, Talon/Zed bot, Jayce bot, and Pantheon bot are still seen (rarer but still seen) because again, these champs can abuse squishes and can take off and become borderline unstoppable from an early lead, but without it they're useless.
- For the last point i want to talk about Tanks, this is a sensitive topic for some people, because they live in a weird dream world where " i had 300 armor and 4000 HP, and an ADC killed me in 2 seconds" like nah fam, i have NEVER come close to nuking a tank like that and have never been nuked like that as a tank, pretty much as soon as anyone gets
and an item with health in it, an ADC loses a good portion of their damage.
Some people also seem to think that tank items are impossible to buy and useless when it comes to ADC's but seriously, any 1-2 of these will make an ADC feel like they're slapping you with a wet noodle, and theres a good chance you can kill them way before they kill you :
(sometimes sunfire even tho its a little weak rn) hell, even some items like
work well cause of kog/corki and also health / healing helps a lot more than people seem to notice.
Plus again tanks get a random amount of insane damage like, Cho'Gath, Garen, Darius, Ornn, Leona, Shen, Nasus (this one kinda makes sense, still insane tho) Gragas, Galio, Tahm Kench, Maokai, Rammus and even some times people like Voli, Singed, Sion and sometimes Malphite, but those seem to be more situational.
Sorry for rambling and ranting, i hope this lets you guys see things from an ADC perspective, i tried not to be biased, but be honest how i feel. I still play tanks, and i play alot of assassins / mages in mid, and i ADC, so i do a bit of everything, but the problem with this game as of now isn't only on ADC, its in some way or another in every role and lane in the game, the game isn't balanced, and some things stick out more than others.
What do you think is the main problem with league atm?
EDIT: its really messy, and i suck at making things look neat so hopefully its still readable and not too bad lol
