AN ADC's POINTS OF VIEW ON THE CURRENT META

WARNING: THIS IS MY OPINION SO CHILL WITH THE HATE

OK, I'kve been wondering for a while but as an ADC main whats the problem with the current meta? I've checked the past 5 patch notes and there have been no recent buffs to any ADC's except Ezreal and a little bit of Sivir . Twitch, Draven and Tristana were always good champions and could ALWAYS melt people. So why are people complaining about them now? all defensive DMG items were strong before and they still are mainly on Draven . Nothing has changed with ADC's whats changed is the fact that top laners and junglers are now building support items which makes ADC's invincible to assassins and mid lane mages. People also don't know how to play against these rising ADC's because they require a certain playstyle to do well against them. I'm honestly so confused why everyone is blaming ADC's. I don't play these meta ADC's that frequently and i go against them quite often but i still win perfectly fine and i win most of the time. Its honestly baffling how bad they are just because they're trying to abuse the current meta. I don't know can someone come up with a counter argument to this? I'm open to hearing about it.

It's just easier to blame the ADC for everything over something stupid they did.

If you ask me, the problem right now that people are freaking out about is that if you are playing anywhere other than bot lane, it feels like you have very little control of the game. ADCs are strong, they have good itemization and the same is true for supports.

So if you are a top or mid laner for example or even a jungler who is forced away from bottom due to a losing lone or whatever, it feels like you are kinda helpless when the other teams ADC snowballs.

They seem to be hitting their powerspikes very early and then from there on out, it is VERY hard to stop. Thats always kind of been true but there seems to be an unprecedented amount shields and CC in the game to protect ADCs from bruisers and assassins and anyone who would pose a threat to them. Not to mention the fact that they seem to currently have a lot of itemization options that provide lifesteal and mitigation and other survival stats.

Long story short: People are frustrated that if the other teams ADC snowballs, they are snowballing early and hard and with the CC, shielding, and items, its easy to feel like you don't really have any control over the game.

Disclaimer: Not saying all of this is accurate, just seems to be the general consensus.
