Hi newfy here I'm your adc main, not the stereotypical one special snowflake one, but one who will listen to pings and trying to work with the team

making this post to say how much I despise feral flare junglers atm and how adc's are one of the most underpowered classes ingame right now.

yes thats right adc's are the most underpowered class currently

lets take a look at the most recent item/meta changes it starts with cinderhulk which created the tank meta that we are slowly sifting out of theoretically that should mean adc's should be at their strongest right now, but with the introduction of gromp buff adc's couldn't kill tanks safetly until very late game when they had enough life steal which still may have not been enough. So caster adc's became meta because they didn't need to aa as much

now that release feral flar... I mean devour is back as a viable jungle option it mean attack speed based junglers are much stronger. like ww, xin zhao, or master yi. some would say that these junglers are useless when unfed but the problem isn't that they're strong when fed it's that they are too easy to get fed

these are 4 consecutive games I had yesterday http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1904691409/203169151?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1904700761/203169151?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1904703720/203169151?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1904730066/203169151?tab=overview

I don't mind if a any of these champs can kill me when they're fed my problem is that I don't have much counter play beside qss or flashing. ww ults can do half my healthbar before I can even qss, yi just kills me so fast i don't have time to react, xin zhao knocks you up(which you can't cleanse) and kills you before you touch the ground.

positioning doesn't work vs these champs because they can just flash on to you and you can't do jack diddly because they can kill you without you being able to be much of anything

now we look at the mage item rework which is a buffs burst mages(viktor) and tank mages(malzahar) mage's specifically burst/assasins mages are inherently suppose to counter adc's because of their ability to do tons of magic damage from afar as well as magic damage being harder to itemize against as well.

from what we can see here it's that adc's get counter by every thing at this point right now they've been degraded into glorified tower killers being a fed adc's isn't worth anything when you get killed before anything starts

tdlr recent item/meta changes are making adc's worthless besides taking towers

I'm assuming you are in low elo if you are seeing warwicks lol.

Anyhow, all those you mentioned are balanced around the fact that you have someone to peel for you.

If you don't, then it's not their problem but yours.

I also play adc and I can say that, despite having seen better days, ad carries aren't exactly weak.

Hell, some of them are straight up broken, such as Sivir in Competitive Play.

And Corki AKA, that one champion that no matter how sick and twisted the Meta is, never loses his popularity.

Hmm... the only role in the game that is rarely ever substituted for any other champion class because how strong they are is underpowered?
