The meta is pretty obvious, the entire game now revolves around the ADC role. You need a good ADC and 4 people to keep the ADC alive at all costs, that's how you win, period. It's stupid, it's only fun for two people out of ten. Riot, do some self reflection and change your philosophy, or continue bleeding players. I don't play the game anymore, and I used to play every day (for 7 damn years).
The Minion hunt1 voteswif, if your adc is the only damage , 5 people cannot successfully peel 5. also this game is not necessarily a 5 v 5 team fight, there are way to split a team up, but it take a team to do it. this is where duelist become strong small skirmishes.
Umbrã1 votesNow, I don't want to come off the wrong way, but I respectfully disagree with you. As an ADC by heart, I would disagree that that my communities role is the pivotal role in the game. While we do play a large part in the game, I believe that ADCs aren't what make or break a team. It's the team's mindset going into a game. If you go in thinking you will lose your match up and hope that you will get carried, then you are probably not the only person on your team thinking that way. Everyone looks to the ADC to deal the most damage, and while this is for understandable reasons, sometimes it's not the AD that is Carry. Sometimes it's the Jungler or the Mid Laner or the Top Laner (sorry Supports, but you guys play a much more important, underlying role). While I do agree that the AD is relied on heavily (trust me, I've thrown my share of games because of reckless plays or roaming alone), I wouldn't say that having a team that revolves around them makes or breaks a team. While the CG vs 100T games might have contradicted what I just said, they admitted themselves after the series that they (100T) had designed their comp entirely around Cody Sun and if he didn't perform they would have lost. What I'm trying to get at is that sometimes it's better to have a team that is lacking tanks but has several self-reliant sources of damage so that if the AD does go down, the team still has a fighting chance and isn't just a bunch of meat shields being batted back and forth.
