The League of Legends boards circlejerk against adcs needs to stop.
This is for all the people who play sion maokai or malphite and claim they died in 2 seconds.
This is for all the people who got ashe ulted and went to the boards to say ''omg adcs 2 much utility + damage''??
This is for all the people who got auto'd 19 times without realizing it in a team fight and checked their death recap and claimed adcs 100-0d do too much damage.
This is for all the people who cuss out their botlane or come to the boards to rage against botlane because they ''feed and die 2 much''

ADCs lost their armor pen. They are no longer as viable early to mid game. This is NOT an opinion, Armor pen was for the early to mid game notice how many of those A.pen users added crit rate as their 4th to 5th item. Because crit IS better, But later in the game.

Bot lane is the only lane that can be 6-0 yet have no true impact on the game. You are 100% bullshitting yourself if you genuinely think it is better to have a 3-0 ashe rather than a 3-0 Poppy, Or a 2-1 Le blanc.

ADCs generally never get tankier. Even if an adc is 15-0 they will still be the same squish. Of course there are items like bloodthirster and maw but maw isnt an item that you can generally abuse because you usually need a lord dom in your games or 2nd zeal item which delays any defensive stat. If they rush a defensive item, they lose on their power budget so hard. A cait that has 1 zeal 1 IE + maw + QSS is NOT going to do nearly enough damage as the people on the boards complain about, If there is a tank on the enemy team she will do next to no impactful damage to that tank because she needs a lord dom.

Bot lane towers dont have fortification like top lane and mid lane do. That means if you manage to first blood someone at top or mid, you will do next to no damage to their tower in the early game,
If you have EVER hit a bot lane tower, you know exactly what im talking about. Riots change to bot tower was implemented in season 6 to stop lane swapping, Basically bot tower has less defence than top and mid tower
Here are a few posts of what im talking about

- Bot lane generally has no influence on whether they win the lane or not. I've played way too many games as a support, there are times where me and my adc have completely dominated lane but 1 minute later there are 5 man ganks boom double kill for enemy adc and lost our tower + dragon.
I dont care what anyone says, You are NOT stopping a 4-5 man gank. There are times where yeah the 4 man gank fails and ends badly but how often does that really happen, and anything past silver that should not be happening.
- ADCs hate blitzcrank not because the pull, But because how much damage blitz does BY HIMSELF to the adc. He was originally designed as a fighter, not a support.
Same with thresh, Thresh can literally solo any adc in the first 10-15 minutes. If you think im lying hey go play bot lane because anyone with like 5 games as adc experience knows this is true.
The people on the boards are SO anti- adc because twitch vayne and caitlyn. News for you! There are more than 3 adcs in the friggin game.
When was vayne and twitch NOT considered a balance problem when they were good? Please tell me because IIRC twitch and vayne dont seem like adcs anymore they are just straight up assassin bullshit who 100-0 anything without 150 armor.
The people saying they died in 3-4 seconds because vayne i totally understand, when they say adcs in general i get frustrated because that is simply not true.
Adcs (besides Vayne and Twitch ) are arguably in the worst state relative to season 6.
They lost SO much and with the new mastery Courage of the Collaesus it is easier than ever to literally dive an adc and not give a single shit because you know you wont take any damage.
Hell, There was even a post by FNC Rekkles on Reddit the other day with him and other diamond-challenger adc mains saying the position isnt in a good spot. But no we have to listen to a bunch of people who are bronze-gold 5 claiming they know whats right and adcs are bullshit because they dont have counterplay.
Just stop because all these claims are backed up by some faulty evidence. The other day i saw a topic in which a guy claimed he died in 3 seconds as darius with 4k hp to a caitlyn. He claimed he had ninja tabi and a bunch of other armor items.
After his match history was checked he had only HALF of that and he didnt even have tabi he had merc treads.. People just WANT to complain dont you get it?
So please stop complaining about adcs because this is becoming a joke now.
Good day.
