You're right, this should be changed

Pretty sure they forgot to change it because it's really useful 3 weeks a year. Nonetheless they officially changed the name in S4 I think ? But people were so stucked on ADC that even if they changed it we kept the abrev.

I think you are confused sir, they do not call it ADC

I think the change that is needed first is for us as players to call it "bot" again. Most of us had that stomped out of us when we started playing because "there are two people bot, which one?"

Also, why does the tab menu in game put Bot above Support? http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Top_Lane.png http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Jungle.png http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Middle_Lane.png http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Bottom_Lane.png http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Support.png

That's so... unsymmetrical. They either need to put http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Bottom_Lane.png below http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Support.png or they need to put http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Jungle.png above http://pentasteal.lol/static/global/lanes/Top_Lane.png

The official term for ADCs since the class update is 'Marksmen' Meaning ranged auto-attackers. Ziggs auto-attacks towers to proct his passive. Name's fine.

All the anti-meta hipsters are wetting their pants over Ziggs bot. But Ziggs is only working there because Ziggs is really damn strong mid too( one of the highest win rate). In fact Ziggs is borderline broken. The real meaning of the word broken, as in game breaking, not just botching about him being strong. The first tower gold is way too high and as soon as it is lowered(or he is nerfed), Ziggs bot loses his appeal.

Morons point and go, "See you can play anyone bot". LOL no, Ziggs is a one of a kind because no one else has a tower killing steroid. And that is only important because Riot made a mistake by changing bot lane to prevent lane swaps in pro play. Once they fix that he goes back to being mid only.
