I'm Happy with the Marksmen Updates

Every other change aside, I really like the new reworks on the ADCs. I love how everyone marksmen in the bot lane now really feels unique in their style. I've been a bot lane buddy for about the entire time I have played LOL and although sometimes the new ADCs seems OP I think that is just a numbers issue. None of them feel so overpowered to me that I think they need to be perma-banned and most of the problems I am having with the latest patch is with the broad changes to items and the super weakening of towers. Things like Yasuo getting 100% crit with 2 items (which if I'm not seeing changes to this soon I'll be surprised) and AP items being really expensive! It feels like it is really really hard to get a game to late anymore and this is what I have the biggest problem with. I like my late game scaling champs!

Eevn with all these thing in patch 5.22 that I don't like I still really like the changes to ADC. Even their items are really nice and just need a few tweaks. It has been a lot of fun seeing the new interactions in bot lane between supports and ADCs. I've really had to change my tactics a lot because of this and I feel that is a good thing. Before, every match up was more about what can the support do that is unique. I had to worry more about them then any of the ADC. Sure, there were minor differences between he ADCs but it never had as big an impact as the supports. Now the ADCs have new tricks that I need to keep in mind. It's no longer about how well can every ADC kite, now they can play differently. Graves gets up in my face now and wants to! Caitlyn has crazy range that is fun to play around with and against. Kog is a monster with enough peel but I found nice ways to really punish him with his new 5.0 AS. MF has finally reached a point where she feels like the Wombo Queen of ADCs. Corki getting pushed further into magic damage is great! Quinn might feel weak sometimes but her roaming is so crazy its really fun to work with!

All other changes aside I feel that the marksmen update was a step in the right direction. They obviously need some numbers tweaked here and there but what new champion or reworked champion hasn't? Riot may have gone too far with too many changes all at the same time but this is one I feel they were right about. I wish they did only the marksmen update and stopped there, wait to feel that out. New AD items and grand changes to marksmen is more then enough to shake up LOL. Everything else could of and probably should of waited.
