Ive seen a lot of complaining that marksman are mandatory as a win condition since they provide safe dps and can take towers. Lets pretend for a second though, that another class was given the opportunity to profeciently destroy towers either by means of a new mechanic or a new item. Which class would be healthy with this new power? Would they have to give something else up in exchange?
Mawootad1 votesCan we just get a couple of champions in several classes that can take towers quickly? Or have a special demolitionist subclass for champions like ziggs, heimerdinger, and most adcs that have strong tower pushing potential?

: surprise... I'm baaack.
: my right arm is a lot stronger than... your tower.
: base race 1v4? Let me just 3-shot your tower.
: Now where'd that bomb go? Woops, there goes another tower.
Let's be clear here, the issue with marskmen isn't that they take towers safely. The good ones are strong throughout the game. The peeling they receive now and the increased durability via items teammates buy to help them means they live long after they should have died in pretty much every season past. If you have to teamfight, the best adc and support out-carry any other role. You could have a toplane damage dealer and midlane assassin who are higher rank (or should be) than the adc, and the adc plus support out-duels them in a teamfight. The top and mid have no choice but to try and delete the adc - because their adc is crap compared to the enemy adc and if they focused the tanks or others first, they would just die before they got any damage onto the adc, and their adc sure isn't going to do the job. So if 2 people - better than the people they are going against - cannot do their job and delete one key enemy target while executing their engage as perfectly as possible, there is a problem with balance. This is what has been going on for a long while now. And this is why every other role but supports hate adc's.
