The reason i hopped on the ''nerf adc'' bandwagon.

Before then, i never really noticed how the adc class was prevalent, until i started playing Leblanc quite recently, which is my first assassin ever, and probably my most ''aggressive'' champion. Since then i realized how difficult it is to deal with adcs. I'm perfectly fine with adcs being fine when they're alongside their teammates or support, diving in a 1v2 is a huge risk and should be in favor of the duo. But when i can't burst down an adc in a 1v1???

Equally fed, i just can't kill a Tristana/Twitch/Kog in a 1v1, they can kill me before my passive procs (which is as little as 1,5 seconds) they start being impossible to solo as soon as they complete their second or third big item. Unless i've got a lead over them, or they have a unlucky no-crit streak, i just can't kill them before getting killed. I might be able to chunk them down, but they'll lifesteal back just fine, while i'm being forced to back (if not dead) after getting right-ckicked on.

If it's already so hard to kill an adc in a 1v1, it becomes almost impossible in a teamfight where they have peel and shields to protect them.

Assassins are supposed to punish poor positionning, being alone and squishy should be enough to spell a death sentence to them in mid/late game.

It's not a Band Wagon. It's the God Damn Oregon Trail at this point slight systematic changes over the last 4-5 seasons Heavily favoring ADC at every turn.

People call us circle jerkers but this shit has been going on for Years and it's about Fukin time it stopped

As i said i'm perfectly fine that adcs are at the core of any team, providing the most damage in teamfights, while also being the most vulnerable member. But the key word here is ''vulnerable'', this meta of one-man-army adc meta is becoming unbearable.

Earlier this year when adcs were in a weak state, before item buffs/nerfs and supports buffs, they still found a place in EVERY team comp, proof that they don't need to be OP machineguns to be meta.

Twitch especially just needs something about him toned down. Don't let him go into stealth anymore if he's been hit by something even after a delay.

Sounds to me like you just went in with the ADC having plenty of time to get a few shots on you before you got in range for chains. LeBlanc especially thrives on assassinating from odd angles where you won't expect her from. If you just run full steam ahead in plain view yeah odds are you're gonna get stomped. If you play LeBlanc you should learn that the absolute best way to kill an ADC is to burst them down before they can react.

Oh and do what Bjergsen does and build gunblade first then lichbane.
