Meanwhile the board doesn´t speak about it at all. Shows that it´s all just top lane mains

OR...

That was part of Riot's stated original goal for midseason, everyone knows that crit adcs may be a little weak, and we already know Riot is keeping an eye on it so there's nothing to say.

I have yet to see any bruiser tank or even a mage on botlane carry. Looking into statistivs websides, the only I thing I saw was Mordekaiser going bot with relic. And shoul bruisers manage to actually stabilize in botlane, they will just nerf relic shield, because fuck supports!

As an anti-meta player, I really have nothing to grieve over with the changes. As someone who's prominent bot lane pool consisted of MissFortune Ashe Kindred Ahri then whatever the hell I wanted to play in whatever shape or form, it's pretty meh.

Kinda glad the boards aren't blowing a gasket, especially given that every other role in the game undergoes at least a dozen changes a year and the bot lane just has to hone in on like...10 champions. That's like a fighting game meta for that role.

so when adcs dominated bot for a majority of the time leagues existed thats fine and when they arent needed to win then its a problem?

It's good to see stuff like Mord and Ziggs being played bot since they aren't really picked that much to begin with.

Irelia Yasuo Vladimir however are played enough mid/top lol, is it really a good thing that these already meta and high pickrate champs just got introduced to another lane besides the 2 they were already viable in?

It's funny.

Last month the Boards were accused of being Mage mains.

I wonder what's next.

You're not wrong lol. I watched sneaky's stream where he played:

Volibear Jayce Brand all in bot lane.


From someone who occasionaly plays ADC, I think these changes were good. However I think Riot over-nerfed them when it came to the stat changes (defensive stats nerfed). Additionally, it's not really the problem that Marksman are weak (I believe it's the most balanced role atm), it's more of a case that every other role has too much damage.

Currently the Skirmisher class is dealing way too much damage then they should even if they build items that give more health than raw damage. But I still see some threads on boards where they have the audacity to say that Top lane is still weak.

I think from my perspective, the next changes would have to be nerfs to Skirmishers. Preventing them from benefiting so much from buying tanky attack damage items, since they aren't juggernauts who are suppose to fill that role. And on top of all that, currently Skirmishers are dealing more damage than some Assassin's while still maintaining the ability to be tanky.

good to know there are adc mains who get it. ive seen a video of qtpie saying the same thing about bringing other champion classes into bot lane, and that he liked the idea of bruisers and mages being viable in the carry role.

just look at the lane diversity in mid and top lane. you can practically play anything and no one will bat an eye, unless its into a really shitty matchup.

jungle has seen better days, but i remember when you could jungle basically anything from tanks to mages to assassins to fighters and marksmen. bot lane, or the duo lane, has consistently been the only position where only one single champion class has been viable for almost 8 years now.
