Should some of the other ADCs be tweaked to jungle?

So ADCs in the jungle is going to be tried by riot. However some ADCs have been tried in the jungle before with mixed success. When Kindred comes out, should riot tweak some ADCs to be more jungle friendly?

- her W passive and E active could deal bonus damage against jungle mobs - rockets do 125% ad damage against jungle mobs - his passive could be a little more effective in the jungle - his W can make jungle mobs lose AS as well and it doesn't cause them to reset either - passive gives bonus crit against jungle mobs

No! Unless bot lane gets an over haul we dont need 4 adc comps. Vayne/Quinn can top, Varus/Corki/EZ/Kog can mid and then they have bot lane. This game already caters to them and do you really want to be a "Enter adc here" with a Vi, Regar, or Kha'zix on the other team lol.

There was an ADC meta in season 2 or so, right?

It might not be an "ADC Meta" but ADC is the spot that doesnt change. Just this season junglers change every 2 patches and mid lane went from assassin - tankish - assassins - mage. Hell even supports went from disengage mages to engaging champs like Leona and Naut, but guess what ADC's did, oh thats right they didn't change at all. Jinx, Vayne, and Kalista played every game cool.

Sometimes ADC's fall in or out of favor, like Trinity caster ADC's, early game lane bullies, or late game hypercarries (definitely Jinx/Vayne, tho I don't really know what Kalista counts as).

Yeah but in a sense it is the same as tanks picked in top lane. When it comes down to it they are all tanky and are supposed to protect the team but do it differently and bring different Utility (Shen vs Maokai). What I ment by that comment is you dont see Fighter/support combo's in bot lane unless someone is trolling. It has been and probably will be ADC/Support unless Riot changes the meta heavily.

Something tells me they're trying with Kindred and Mordekaiser

No, like 3~4 ADC per team and whoever have more ADC winning. Idk, I only heard about it and want playing at the time. Maybe there's a lot of exaggeration there.

Kindred gets away with it because she can get free stats (IE stacking current% hp hit)

Other carries don't want to jungle since they wouldn't get as much gold (Miss Fortune is a lane bully, she definitely does not want to jungle when she has an amazing early game she can abuse against a bot lane.)

I think MF can get away with jungling because of her passive, her E has a slow, and I think her lane bully nature helps her jungle clearing. Considering her W is doubled by devourer, it's conceivable that she'd be fine as a jungler.
