ADC changes rant

i know im gonna get downvoted to hell for this but is anyone else annoyed at all these adc threads. most of these people dont have pbe accounts and are already screaming op. like when people though gnar was going to be weak then they had him nerfed, thought darius was gutted but now hes perma banned. cass players complaining she sucked when she really had stupid high damage potential. stop complaining, adcs will still pop like a pimple, theres an entire roll made to kill them pretty much and most mages can instakill them too. all that lifesteal wont mean anything if they get instakilled, and all that crit wont be as effective with ad nerfs. please stop talking about things before you have used it.

Yeah I have a PBE account, sure assassins can pop these ADCs. Just not all the time nor as easy. The mastery that heals them for 12% of the dmg they crit for and gaining Attack speed honestly is SUPER strong. (esp on yasuo) So far i've found graves the hardest to burst down once fed given his knock back shit and the healing mechanic i just talked about.

Riot has introduced a lot of ways for adcs to handle assassins.. The pbe patch is still new and things will change ofc. I'm not saying ADCs are OP, but they def feel a lot stronger.. and more independent.

i think its a good thing that theyre a little more independent because whenever i play adc, it gets frustrating that when im ahead i cant do anything because my team doesnt bother to protect me or anything

The ADC class shouldn't be independent. They are the single most important class in the game, the one that the entire game is balanced around.

Why should you get to be as independent as other classes while also being the one class that is necessary on any team?

Well that just doesn't make sense lol. You can carry games on any position, this just makes it easier in solo Q for ADC's

I read the items and knew they were off balance. the damage potential represented is incredibly high, and the durability some of the items give is very relevant, while also providing significant offense capabilities. and some of the adc champ reworks are considerable buffs.

Itemization wise, I'm going to be a bit cautiously optimistic. While a lot of these new item abilities are crazy. The upper Tier ADC items. (Namely IE and BotRK) are also getting nerfs. So it's possible that ADC's will simply have more build options while maintaining the same relative balance.

Of coarse that means ADC's will have better ability to counter build against their opponents. Where previously, the only thing they could really build is raw DPS.

I definitely think that the potential for such options is there, i mean really it's obvious that there are reasonable build choices and variance now. but the thing is, that I feel the power in these options is too high. an ADC is so core to this game, that just building raw damage was enough before, and that for them to have raw damage still with new build options... well it'll be too strong to have such sudden power in such diverse ways.

I think that the items are good design wise, and I really like most of the changes from the standpoint of the design and variance they introduce. but the balance of the changes is certainly questionable....
