Let's be honest with ourselves, guys. They've had years to fix ADCs, but did nothing. Absolutely no reason to believe this will change. The coming nerfs to classes that aren't even remotely problematic proves this all too well.
Get ready for a mid-season with ADCs in all lanes. We should've seen it coming.
Brutalitops014 votes"Nerfs to general efficiency of Zeal upgrades... IE will still be just as strong late game, but will take significant nerfs to the early game... Fleet Footwork nerf... Base Health Regen nerfs for every ADC in the game..."
Riot is literally gutting the entire class in 8.10. Also, remember the meme of 2017, "ADC in 2017 LUL," when marksmen were just so trash tier as a class because they weren't actually strong enough to do their jobs until 6 items that we were seeing Ryze and Ziggs being played as bot lane carries instead? Then all Riot had to do to make ADC into one of the strongest classes in the game was lower the cost of IE and the Zeal items by 2-300.
Blåbæret3 votesLmao man, only ADC mains actually jumped the bandwagon with the ADC meme. They weren't weak by any measures, just closer to balanced. I suppose ADC mains like yourself cannot imagine games without ADCs in them though. Every other class in this game is replaceable, no reason as to why ADCs shouldn't be as well.

Fun fact, though: I'm actually a jungle main. Warwick and Nunu are pretty much all I play in ranked when I can get away with it. Personally, though, I hate the fact that ADC is the strongest role in the game by far, though. When I do play ADC, the games are literally just "enemy team sends 5 bot and turret dives us over and over again from minute 1 while my team sits under their turrets and does nothing" and those games are just unwinnable.
If you check my recent match history, you'll see some ADC on there in normals because I will admit that I have been trying to learn Jhin and I let my brother, who is an ADC main, play for a bit. And guess what happened. 5-man bot lane from minute 1, constantly getting dove under out inner turret while the outer turret is still alive, literally nothing we can do. Allied team is sitting under their turrets being a bunch of pussies. Jungler is AFK farming as a Kha'Zix. Enemy Shyvana was doing more than him earlier than him.

and also make it so adcs can rush 80% crit so early and making static shiv and rfc work together and make a keystone that heals u based on how much crit chance u have allowing u to completly skip expensive life steal items, but hey now it's even more better since they are giving u free life steal and a bloodthirster from overheal+bloodline runes

K, so you're gonna ignore the general nerfs they're giving the ENTIRE class in a couple of patches to complain that Riot isn't going to fix ADCs, when they are literally gutting the ENTIRE CLASS in a couple of patches. Nerfing Fleet Footwork, nerfing base health regen for every ADC in the game, making IE convert a % of your crit damage into true damage instead of 50% increased crit damage, making it still good as a tank buster but less good against non-tanks, nerfs to every Zeal upgrade in the game (probably a general price increase). Buffs to BoRK and Bloodthirster, since neither of those items are built on any champion in the game, etc.
Also, there isn't a champion in the game that takes Legend: Bloodline and most take Triumph instead of Overheal. Why? Because Overheal only grants 40% of self-healing towards the shield, which is literally nothing until you're a full build ADC with tons of crit and lifesteal. And making IE deal a % of crit damage as true damage will nerf lifesteal too because it scales with physical damage dealt by that basic attack and crits will deal less physical damage.

saltran3 votesThis is weird: it's like you hate adcs but at the same time you don't want them to be nerfed because then you will have to find another topic to cry about.
