I didn't know that ADC's were in trouble I was pretty sure that they were all doing alright. So what did I miss?
Edit: I don't care about the ADC's themselves being changed I'm talking about the items.
And why are wards being removed again?
They arent really buffing them, but more giving them their own identities. you cant say that Kog having to stand still to do full dmg of his W is a Buff. Or graves having to be close range. They all have some sort of thing you can take advantage of.
ADC's were the class that was essential throughout every season and survived every meta, where they were the key point of the team and everything more or less turned around them (assassin meta: kill the adc, tank meta: protect the adc...). So basically one could say they were overpowered as a class. So Riot decided to buff them.
Logic, right?
/salt
But to be fair, the changes aren't huge buffs, but ADC's could be very scary earlygame, with the fervour mastery granting them up to 10 on-hit bonus damage and the lvl 1 BASE AD buffs
Adc are only played in one lane. They are a must-have role. They are so important that they have a support to hold their hand. Why wouldn't Riot buff them more? They obviously need more sustainability so they continuing dealing the highest sustain damage in game. They need to have a way to prevent Mages/assassins/warriors from killing them; this is why they are getting buffs to anti assassins, to life steal, and kiting
It makes perfect sense. What's your problem
More of a change to make Marksman to stop having only 3 viable champions per season. If it makes anything out of control, it will probably be reigned in during balance changes during preseason. Who knows this may be even the first step to stop the whole duo lane marksman and support, and change it into a kill-lane, or 0 marksman teams. Doubt it but you never know what the future holds for certain.

Maybe if you played ranked or even summoner's rift you'd know why ;) The reason why the changes are hated is because people hate adc's without even looking at how they've been doing (they're WEAK). KEEP IN MIND THAT I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO MAINS MORE THAN JUST ADC.
And why are wards being removed again?
because no one was buying them asshole. Trinket's will automatically upgrade themselves as the game goes on so that everyone can ward more on their own without having to buy wards.
Have you been paying attention to, like, anything? anything at all?
So what did I miss?
nvm...
Are you trying to tell me there is nothing wrong with building IE, PD/Shiv, BT, LW, BG every single game on almost every adc? No diversity.
