Is it true RIOT that your balance team is full of ADC mains?

OP Garen Support·1/14/2018, 1:53:02 PM·49 votes·3,785 views

If it is then its very disappointing. The game feels less fun each day, then I read that the balance team are only playing ADC's. No wonder the game feels shit for everyone except the ADC players.

If its true then there is no future for this game and no reason to stay waiting for a fix that will never come.

I hate the ADC meta. I want to have fun with mages and tanky champions both are being shit on by ADC's. Assassins dont do their job either. ("delayed burst"). Meanwhile ADC's going around dishing out BPS damage.

No class should have everything going for them: RANGE ,sustain(lifesteal), damage(biggest damage in the game), attack speed (dishing out the biggest damage nonstop with no CD on it ), armor pen, crit ( RNG damage), low cost items(crit items gave way too much power with multiple stats). Some ADC's even got escape spell, basic attack booster, CC, hard CC.

I wonder how many of you are actually happy with the state of the game?

It isn't an ADC meta. It's a hypercarry meta. That means hypercarry ADCs, supports, and tanks are overpowered.

A majority of the power ADCs have right now is from their supports.

I dunno why dont you check the post where Riot lists off a bunch of the balance team instead of making a garbage 'Rito is a bunch of silver AD mains!!!!!!!!' shitpost.

But hey, why actually do the research when instead you can just make the 100th worthless ADC QQ circlejerk shitpost for the day. I mean why spend 3 seconds on google when you can just complain about something that has been proven to not be the case already

Yes, Riot's balance team is mostly ADC players. It's pretty obvious, considering how much the game revolves around ADC

I just beat up a fed Xayah as Sejuani Jungle multiple times. So much for "ADC meta". It's just a myth. If Riot was ever going to nerf ADC damage, nobody would play this class anymore. Damage is their only potential (besides utility on some of them). So quit whining and build armor.

yea because galio oneshotting everything with his q was fun for adcs [galio-happy]

If it was an ADC meta then Lucian Caitlyn Ashe Draven hell, even Kindred Graves would be playable bot

Couple things: First off, even if SOME of the gameplay team plays ADC, who gives a f***. If Riot actually CARES about their job (Which im positive they do) they will ignore bias... which isnt hard to do, Statistics beat bias 9/10.

And even if they WERE all ADC players and full of bias. Isnt a rebuttal to you is "Well you hate ADCs so what if you are just biased against them" Neither side showing evidence (not saying whether or not there is evidence to what being strong, just if you dont USE evidence you can be called out with lack of evidence as well)

Also: "No class should have everything going for them: RANGE ,sustain(lifesteal), damage(biggest damage in the game), attack speed (dishing out the biggest damage nonstop with no CD on it ), armor pen, crit ( RNG damage), low cost items(crit items gave way too much power with multiple stats). Some ADC's even got escape spell, basic attack booster, CC, hard CC." Isnt everything going for them, that is just everything ADCs can get, you didnt mention: Tankiness, Mobility (which some have but most have pretty lackluster) Regen, CDR, Mixed damage, True/% damage (again some do, just stating what he didnt state.) and probably more.

Saying "ADCs HAVE EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY CAN BUILD 'THIS'" is pretty close-minded and one-sided way of thinking. Especially since it ignores the fact that they cant build all at once. And if they do a lot of them will be lackluster.

The most important thing is meddler's a degenerate janna player who started playing nami cause everyone caught on that he was a degenerate, realized that took too much skill so he moved onto brand supp and then just full on zyra because doing anything but rolling his face is beyond his capabilities. He also occasionally plays adc. So now you know why ardent was a thing for 6 months.

The rest of the rioters exist to just clap for meddler and ghostcrawler like sheep anyways so who cares what they play (it's adcs, riven and akali)

People that are not happy with this meta are the one that thinks that they can't climb because of adc meta. They are only happy when they win, and when they lose, just jump to boards to blame state of the game.

jg main here i think adcs are not broken right now u just cant chase them lol they will kite

People are leaving out that supports are what makes ADCs unbearable again. Nerf support shields and heals and increase the cost of attack speed items.

While adc are broken and the state of the game is shit, i don't think adc players have much more fun than others, cause the strong state of adc means that everyone trys to shut them down as hard as possible, and if your on the loosing team as adc after 10min, your life is pretty misserable. THough of course it's better than top, cause in top your live is always misserable unless you abuse one of currently broken meta shit, and even then it's not great.

ADC Mains that don't even play regularly.

You never played adc i guess [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I hate everything revolving around ADC in this game. It's like it doesn't matter what role you play it just matters how you're adc is doing.

Top lane you have tanks to peel for adc, jungle you have setup and ganks to get ADC ahead or protect them, support obviously is to protect and help ADC, and then mid lane is a control or utility mage to just cc or lock people down for ADC to kill.

HOW EXCITING

Being an ADC main doesn’t feel as good as you might think. There’s so much pressure on you to carry and be better than their adc or you lose. It’s not fun for me either. Much preferred season 5 or 6.
