I sure do love how ADCs literally cannot be beaten.

Poke them? Nah, one lifesteal item and they're always full health.

All in them? Well, half of them have hard CC and mobility, and the other half build DD and PD, so you do no damage.

Play a tank and try to CC them? You'll die before you even reach them.

Try to out-damage them? Ha! Good joke.

They literally cannot lose, and yet Riot buffs them every patch. But hey, that's balance. ADCs are actually garbage right now, yep. Riot would NEVER intentionally break an entire class and keep them broken because they're the most profitable. That's just silly.

you're on soemthing if you think ADC's are pseudo bruisers.

Draven aside ( because he has literally always done this )

burst > ADC

When you poke them, don't let them go up to minions waves. Actually pressure them. They don't get regen if they can't go up, so the key is to keep pressure on them or fight during the time they're low. If you landed poke, you can be reasonably certain they're fairly low since ADCs are really squishy.

Half have hard CC and mobility? Not really, a lot of them are gated in some way. Caitlyn situationally does but requires planning, Draven kinda does, but his mobility is pretty weak, being only a small MS boost, jhin has to set his up and again, only a MS boost. Jinx has to get a kill first.

Really, only Tristana and Vayne have both that are on demand. Hardly half, even if you're counting the very situational ones.

Play a tank and try to CC them? You'll die before you even reach them.

What tanks are you playing and where are your teammates? You have no ranged CC, no speed boosts, not playing a tank with mobility, no allied CC, no flanks, no nothing?

Try to out-damage them? Ha! Good joke.

A lot of midlaners and some junglers can do their entire health in burst before they can return the favor in dps. You don't have to do more dps, you just have to do enough burst. You don't even have to do it alone either.

Whens the last time they buffed adc as a class? Every patch? The last one I can remember is midseason when they lowered the cost on some crit items, because adcs as a class refused to build crit because it was awful.

The adc in 2016/17 meme came from the time that there were literally only two meta picks, Jhin and Varus, because crit was so bad that they built lethality and were useful because they just poked instead.

A fed ADC has always been a huge threat throughout the entire history of League. They might seem "unfair" simply because if the team is smart, they use most of their resources protecting a fed ADC, especially if it's someone like Draven/Cait/Lucian/Vayne etc. that can 1-3 shot most characters when fed. If an ADC is fed your team did something wrong and has a much higher chance to lose, if an ADC is not fed or feeding they are near useless 9 times out of 10.
