Why do immobile adcs ALSO have 325 move speed?

Rysophage··16 votes·1,098 views

It's kind of a kick in the teeth to champs like kog maw since when they want to build MS they get less out of it. since they can't dash all over the place they should at least be able to walk faster than the adcs that can. Or am i missing something and am just completely wrong?

And then you haveTwitch who's self peel is a 25% slow while being immobile and having no utility. But at least he has 5 more ms amirite

his self peel is a 850 aa with his ult, and he isnt exactly immombile, seeing as he has a speed up, can go invisible

Well at the same time using the full 850 range to only hit one target is a waste of the aoe. Q isn't self peel. Riot removed that functionality over a year ago Edit: typos

You can make an argument where the lack of speed and mobility allows for higher damage, but that doesn't hold up. You can make the argument that they should be able to scale better, have higher range, have a better whatever and it doesn't add up.

The only two things I can think of that make sense are:

  1. They have planned for the ADC update for a long time, and have been pushing off fixing issues like this until then.
  2. In order to figure out what they have planned we would need more information than we currently have.

This is, of course, assuming something is planned.

Longer ranged adcs will always have lower MS. Immobile adcs are almost universally longer ranged. There's your answer. Imagine how much more oppressive Caitlyn would be if she had 330 MS instead of 325.

She used to have 330 MS. (Well, at the time it was 305 MS.)

That is interesting; Why do they make it so mobility scales with mobility? Why not just make it flat movement speed bonuses from boots? Why does it have to scale hard on already mobile characters?

i really can't wait to see what riot does for the marksmen update who do you wish to see in the update i personally want to see my three favorite sexy manly marksmen Varus Graves Draven

I'm thinking it will be Cait, Graves or Lucian (probably not both), MF.

Varus and Draven are already pretty unique

CasterGilgamesh1 votes

For me Varus feels a little on the weak side bot lane I guess he is fine mid...Draven is ok but I kinda want to see him get just a little love from riot.im pretty sure graves is getting some kit changes I mean I would pref if riot just reverted some number changing NERFs....

Kog'maw has insane range on his R. And you want him to be faster and chasing people off with his OP ulti? Please...

It could be just me but I think Draaaaven needs a bit more attention since he seems replaced and out-classed by Tristana. She out trades him and has utility self peel stuff. Of course that might just be me I seldom play me Draaaaaven. That or tone down Tristana.
