ADC: playable or no?

By "playable or no", I mean do you find it remotely possible to play ADC as effectively as we used to be able to before the major assassin buff?

I find it funny that ADCs have been in a pendulum between, "WTF, early game caster ADC's abusing Armorpen/Lethality. Nerf dat sht" and "ADC is useless because they have no early game, god sakes Ziggs bot lane. "

That is not going to change unless Riot can find a solution to curve back the heavy snowballing meta.

I feel like the recent changes have curved snowballing down to a good amount. You still have to make getting a lead worth while and give early game champions a chance to win.

But now pretty much every Assassin is just like "oh hey watch me blow you up within seconds before even being Lv.3!"

Not remotely true... What do you run in circles in enemy jungle at level 2?

No, everyone only pings "enemy missing" one time, then expect us to notice it l, then Kat/Fizz get a free double on me and support then gets a triple when our jg comes to help

Well then... You need to listen to pings and not over extend to the enemies tower at level 2?

I'm sorry, but if you are getting killed by the enemy jungle at level 2, you're just choking hard.

It was just an example also mid wanders bot A LOT and thx to assassin update it's worse to deal with, plus Ziggs bot has practically rendered ADC useless.

If you mean the Ziggs part, have you ever faced Ziggs bot?

He hasn't made ADCs useless... ... ... that is simply not true.

He makes farming too hard along with Kha and Rengar's buff, whenever I go ADC now I have to ban one and hope the other's banned/not picked.

Well again, your fault. Statistically Ziggs is not face rolling ADCs.

Assassin update made ADCs more usable. The problem is it's only AD casters when people want crit sustained DPS ADCs to be the ones doing work.

You are asking two different questions and they have two different answers. Is it possible to play ADC as effectively before assassin rework? No. Is ADC usable at all? Yes.
