So when are we slightly nerfing mobile ADCs so immobile ones that aren't over-tuned are viable?

You can't really buff the immobile ones, since that's just going to create an endless loop, plus ADCs overall are really strong already.

Nerfing the FotM ones seems like the only way to go.

I really don't get why ADC diversity isn't being addressed. MF's rework is powerful, its just simply not good enough compared to what mobility offers. This really highlight's ADC's meta issues.

The game should be balanced around what champions accomplish against immobile ADCs, not mobile ones.

Currently, mobile ADCs don't pay for what their kits offer at all. They're just better in every way, when they should be less powerful than immobile ones, considering the higher safety and aggression they can utilize.

I really don't get while IMMOBILE ADCs are the only ones paying for anything right now.

I'd really like a response from a Rioter on this issue, as it seems pretty big. The viability of ADCs almost solely depends on being largely over-tuned (KogMaw) or having mobility.

If you disagree, please explain why. :)

Tactical mobility is the cornerstone of the class. Even "immobile marksman" are still expected to kite.

Tactical mobility is not a cornerstone of the class. Ranged DPS and kiting are.

Tactical mobility is an advantage of specific champions (not even close to marksmen exclusive) that those champions very often never pay for. They're simply a better choice due to outplay potential, follow-up, and safety more often than not.

Compare how many mobile champions are viable vs how many immobile champions. However, I'm only pointing at ADCs because the issue is far more glaring among the their class than any other.

its funny because the mobile adcs have higher base movespeed than the immobile ones and more dmg on abilities and equal dmg on auto attacks.
