The root of all evil

Assassins whine about tanks squashing them with with their base damages, but tanks are not to blame here, they need to do that so the assassin can't blow up its target quickly enough.

Mages whine about assassins having more leathal and quicker burst then they have, but assassins are not to blame because they need it so else the burst mage would just blow them up.

Adcs whine about Burst mages (and assassins) cc-locking and insta-gibbing them immedeatly, but they are not to blame, because if they wouldn't do that, the ADC would just murder them all with intense and mechanically complex right-clicks.

And everyone else whines about ADCs because of their damage they get mostly from crit (save from the anomaly that is the lethality situation), but they are not to blame because they need it for... uhh...? Reasons?

Damage creep has become an issue in this game. But this can only be solved by dragging out the root of all of it. Generally crit should have been kicked out when dodge went. It only limits design space and brings absolutely nothing to the game. If you want force adcs on a stat that's neither ad nor tank stuff then use AS or something <_<'

Adcs are supposed to kill tanks and take objectives

Taking objectives should be a team effort and not be depedant on a single class.

It isnt but there best at it. Just like anyone can kill an adc but assassins are best at it

Nah, originally the job to blow up ADCs was the job of burst mages, assassins were designed quite some time later.

And yes they are the best at it - they are the best at doing the one thing that WINS the game that you cannot build a team without them. I can do a comp without an assassin. I can go without divers. No-tank comps are also possible. But you cannot roll out without an adc, and its been like that since season one. Make ADCs less important and suddenly the meta will becomea LOT less stale...

im not arguing the history of the meta. i Was saying what was current and relating it to your last post. Edit theres definately no marksman comps. Usually involving ziggs, morde or ziggs but they just never become super meta.
