I don't understand what's Up with the ADCS this season.

ADC's Used to be gated by mana and CDR which they couldn't afford... then u release ? Then ADCS only used to be able to damage players and not good at taking out towers then u add which makes them better at both? Then ADCS Used to be prone to CC and Burst damage but make them a pain in the ass to even kill while they can just kill and kite you from far away. Also you used to be able to either build ARMOR like or HP like to counter them... but alast there's that literally makes anything you do futile.

I don't mind ADCS being Strong vs Killing players, but How come they are just about strong at everything? Why i can I cap my CDR on my adc faster than a mid lane mage? How come they are not only allowed to farm safer but out right better than most melee..... I swear being vs top lane is the most absurd bullshit I ever faced.... any melee vs ADC is bullshit.

I miss the days when ADCs like actually died, they were weak to assassins, and like didn't destroy towers in 5 seconds .... The hell is wrong with riot?

Most Annoyingly is how ADCS are supposed to be auto attackers; well atleast 90% of them are, but pretty much all have 100% uptime on their skills. No one plays when you can have 100% Mana 40% CDR and Spam the enemy to death with + or have a troll that never dies and delete people who stand 5 ft next to eachother.

With this type of itemization it's no wonder I come across Triple ADC teams so often! I'm just letting Riot know now i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate the state of ADCS right now. Atleast before some ADCs tho weak were playable, but now i have to dodge every game with bot lane cause i know he cant do crap to who stuns then perma slows him to death.

ADC's are still weak to assassins and have always been the best class at taking down towers Especially Jinx who has been doing so since she was released. You catch them off guard or out of position like you should be looking for on assassins anyway and burst them. Or cc then burst. That's it. Yes in prolonged fights in the mid to late game ADC's do a lot....But they always have that is the point of the class

Riven is bad into most range champions at early levels, but graves need only to aim close to hit her because that is his kit. He lacks any range or penetration with his autos so wide, short range AOE is more his thing.

Uh... what? AD carries have always been the best tower takers. Where are you getting the idea that AD carries didn't take towers very well? Hell, after the buffs to AP damage to towers earlier this season, other classes are actually closer to AD carries in tower taking then ever before.

Also you used to be able to either build ARMOR like or HP like to counter them... but alast there's that literally makes anything you do futile.

You do realize that Last Whisper used to be a generally stronger item back when it reduced all armor, right? It's actually a situational pick now, instead of something people comfortably pick up as a second or third item.

The mana gating didn't matter and still doesn't. No one is picking up ER for the mana regen, just like no one used to pick it up for the mana regen. Any player worth their salt can manage their mana past the laning phase without needing that crutch. As for CDR, it's good that the class has access to it now. Forcing every ADC into the same autoattack-focused ability-ignoring build was terrible for playstyle diversity. It was ridiculously stupid design to pidgeonhole every single ranged autoattacker into the same build.

Then ADCS Used to be prone to CC and Burst damage but [listed items] make them a pain in the ass to even kill while they can just kill and kite you from far away.

Well, GA and BT both used to be significantly stronger items, and Death's Dance kind of sucks on the large majority of AD carries, but I'll give you that Maw has improved defensive options.

now i have to dodge every game with bot lane Ezreal cause i know he cant do crap to Ashe who stuns then perma slows him to death.

... Seriously? I mean, it's not a great matchup for Ezreal, but it's not that bad either. You should be able to handle that matchup if you're good with Ezreal.
