As a Botlane Main and Lover for Years, the latest Changes were actually more healthy than i thought

The sudden and rough shakeup Botlane was painful, yes, but also quiet refreshing. Like i never felt this fresh Botlane-wise in Years now! If you balance traditional ADCs into a state of not being Trash but also not being overbearing, we can have a really diverse duo lane. A lane that draws attention of Dou Partners that want a strong bond with eachother A Lane where you can truly feel the Synergy between you and your Teammate.

As a ADC/Supp Main, i am on my knees asking, pls dont make ADCs mandatory again. I love them but it got so stale it actually hurt to play your favorite Champs. Pls let Bot lane stay diverse

Lucian/Ashe main here Think the same, but let me tell you Riot won't make marksmen mandatory once again

They said they won't be buffing Caitlyn because she will reduce the diversity bot lane

They won't make ADCs viable. Their buffs on the pbe are empty and conciliatory. I just wish they'd let ADCs go to a solo lane.

I looked at winrates today and the new fighters who are in the lane are all-in champions that play around level 6, and the ones that survive them are the longest range, highest pre-6 damage ones that can either punish them or avoid the all-in or both. It's very Yin-Yang right now and bringing crit adcs back into it is going to take work and time.

Honestly, day 3 of weird meta and I'm getting 'meh'. The PLAY is linear. There's pretty much an absence of trade / poke play. Usually one side has better harass and the other has better all-in so one side is trying not to fight- I find that kinda snooze. But then, I'm the support, I don't get to go to a new lane / try different champions, the only difference to me is my carries now can't trade autos. And maybe I'm just not excited, because I'd play off-meta duo-bot quite frequently before this.
