You dare talk bad of our adc overlords?

ADC privilege. Also Riot is class-ist to anything that isn't an ADC or tank.

Honestly, I hope the game mode was Riot's way of trying to get a whole bunch of data on ADC's power in skirmishes and various scenarios. Which adc's have which levels of damage output.

Which ADCs hugely depend on team peel, versus which ones can own a fight without much help needed

I'm optimistically hoping that overcharge is a speedboost to getting ADC balance. I have no problem with metas where Jinx or Caitlyn or Sivir or Jhin or other less mobile / cc-light ADCs can control teamfights. I don't like this meta where Xayah / Twitch / Tristana / Ezreal dominate the entire game while being insanely safe (with the exception of Twitch who just stealths then ults from outside of detection range and 1v5s).

ADCs that are peel-reliant in teamfights = good hypercarries. ADCs that are self-reliant and can skirmish well = good champions but shouldn't have hyper carry damage.

Xayah, Ezreal, Tristana, etc... shouldn't do as much teamfight damage as Jinx, Kog'maw, Sivir, etc... to balance for their extra safety.

Agreed tristana is just absolutely busted and i say that as someone who plays her , her siege power and mobility and self peel and late game potential is just so fucking good i feel disgusting playing her, and yeah her jump is interruptible but thats a small downside to what she is

It didn't take many games of overcharge to realize that Tristana, Xayah, Ezreal, Corki, Vayne, and Lucian were the only really viable picks. Stuff like Caitlyn and Draven were okay in the next tier. I tried playing some Jinx though and it was hopeless... not having allied peel just made me a punching bag for everyone else. You'd think a hyper carry starting at level 6 and having a boatload of gold to avoid the early game would make her strong (and her passive would help her a lot when overcharged) but nope. A bunch of Jinx games where I fed, then first game on Corki and I went like 11/3/7 with 31 points.

You forgot kog, he steamrolls with just rageblade+sheen->AP.

Ap ezr, kog and normal build corki are the only ones I played, kog being the main one cause of that busted rageblade+sheen start.

I never saw a kog, probably because I fed so badly and lost all my early matches, my game-mode mmr dropped so much that anyone playing OP kog wouldn't be in my games?

Idk if that game mode even has a mmr. But imo you should try it, I personally like barrier+ghost instead of flash cause that overcharge mode is overturned(getting 5 bots) resetting cds making having high MS up constantly better than a short flash.

I usually go rageblade->lichbane->luden/deathcap if game last any longer I would've went void or nashoor maybe for a bit more on-hit. That game mode is better played if going AP imo than ad aside from corki.

I typically went barrier/heal to have as much defenses as possible in skirmishes. I'd have taken exhaust if it were allowed.

I hope they nerf Ashe so when I feed I can blame the shitty champion (hint I'm actually just garbage at my main.)

True story

Yeah I was actually just talking about how Assassin gamemode had Riven, Yasuo, and Pantheon tossed in, while being a recolored summoner's rift with kalista minions on it.

And then there's the ADC gamemode with a whole new map, some specil new minions and map interactions.
