Sucking off ADC mains is once again too important for Riot

Let's see here...

"We want to decrease the burst ADC deals to squishies and keep damage to tanky targets the same"

Changes proven by other people's math:

Frontload burst is slightly less to squishies DPS is higher to squishies Frontload burst is higher to tanky targets DPS is higher to tanky targets

::thinking::

What I don't understand is this point:

and keep damage to tanky targets the same

Buddy, that is one of the problems of ADC. If you make it so the ADC is the only class able to kill tanks then they will stay mandatory until the end of days.

Also the damage was too high across the board, not just against squishies. You needed to nerf their damage across the entire board, not just against squishies.

For some reason they still think the ADC is balanced or something and that they only need to do a power-shift.

they can't nerf adcs yet, gotta make sure more people buy those legendary / ultimate adc skins [slayer-jinx-wink]

Pretty sure the DPS is less to squishes now. That coversion to True Damage helps Squishes, not hinders.

It seems that we are realizing the power of old LW that you all forgot about, and don't forget it used to be 500 gold cheaper than it is on PBE with the same stats.

Actually, they wanted to reduce early game burst/damage in general. Which they succeeded in doing. The correct math I found, was someone using a generic full 6 item build, and I hope you can see the error there.

Not gonna say these changes are perfect and whether or not we need more, but you never know.
