The real issue with the role ADC

ViiLLAiN·Jan 4, 2017·1 votes·567 views

we build full dmg there is no more room for a defensive item.

i started in season 5 or 4 and i remember last item was always a GA

after many changes adc can no longer afford to get defensive items because of the need to do more dmg more quickly now

so now we have adc building 2 zeal items instead of one because of the increase need of dps

now this is fine and dandy idc if i get blown up in 1 seconds thats fine it should be that way i have all dmg items im only good for doing dps and taking towers idc i ge 1 shot

THE ISSUE IS TEAMS ARE NOT PROTECTING THEIR ADC AND GIVING THEM GOLD TO CARRY THEM LATER IN THE GAME

as if offense and defense were separate choices when it comes to adc.

alone, no? with summoner heal and one single defensive item like item 3026 ? yes.

im just pointing out, that adc have ridiculous defense built into some of their strongest offensive items. so the argument of "they have to build 6 damage items and are forced to be glass cannons" isnt quite true.

Teams should protect the ADC, but that doesn't mean the ADC should be given all the gold. Everyone needs gold. The tanks need gold to protect you. The bruisers need gold to fight those who try to get to you. The assassins and mages need gold to kill the ones who are most likely to kill you.

There is little issue with the ADC role right now. Some ADCs are underperforming, like Kalista , and they could use some help. In the same vein, ADCs like Vayne and Caitlyn are pretty overbearing and need some changes.

Just as a whole, I'd argue the Marksman meta is at it's most balanced. You still see them every game, with just Ziggs bot creeping into prominence. Mid is still open to ADCs like Corki, Varus, and Ezreal. Kindred Jungle could use a buff, but she's almost there. Graves Jungle is still viable.

Just keep them out of top lane so I can play my Juggernauts and Divers in peace.

Then I'm gonna play Kled or Renekton and generally be unpleasant.

tanks items are way cheaper then adc's

mages get a huge bang for the buck with their first item morellos look at the stats it gives for the amount of gold it costs

issue is what alot of people dont see is adc items are extremely expensive and for good reason !

what i mean is u have to invest gold into ur adc or they will be useless come mid game. investing gold means ganking their lanes helping secure dragons. if whenever possible give kills to ur adc

simple things like that go a long way for decent adc
