I'm Not Even Concerned For That Broken Ardent Censer

What I'm concerned with is how this game became a meta of "Play Tristana or don't play ADC at all". Like, if Tristana ISN'T banned (for whatever reason), even in a Normal Draft game, you can bet someone on either team is going to pick her. There's no questioning it. If she's banned, Twitch is picked. If both of these champs are banned, Xayah is picked. Like, why is it that only (2) THREE adc's are viably playable right now? What happened in this patch, besides everyone rushing item 3504 , that caused more than half the adc roster to become practically obsolete?

And before people mention how it isn't just Trist and Twitch that are strong, but hyper-carries in general, let me point out that I have yet to see a Jinx in any of my recent games, in the past couple weeks. And the only time I ever see Xayah (who is ALSO a hyper-carry) is when both Tristana and Twitch are banned. So, clearly something is wrong with that statement.

What bugs me even more, when going back to the Ardent Censer thing, is that no matter what support champion I choose to play, my adc is always asking me to build it. I could play Leona, Thresh and/or Braum and I'd still be asked to rush it. It's actually pretty annoying that I practically have no say in how I want to build my champion, simply because one of the items in my role is "just too good to NOT build, despite my champion maybe not really benefiting from the stats it gives".

The ADC class is super ridiculous. At any time a trio of ADCs are the gods of bot lane while the others attempt to squeak out use somewhere else on the map.

I really don't know how the meta hasn't change to there not even being a jungler on the map.

It should really be..

ADC+Enchanter top. ADC+Enchanter bot. Maybe Flash+Smite highly mobile ADC mid lane for the purpose of contesting objetives and taking blues or reds depending on what youre playing.

I don't think its ADCs, I think its Enchanter itemization just being totally outrageous. The Enchanter meta, has made Divers and Assassins completely useless. So boom...right there, no Assassins or Divers to threaten your ADC...which means.... The "viable ADC's" Are the tank busters, because tanks are the only realistic threat since Divers and Assassins are countered by Enchanter.

So you have Tank buster ADCs making every tank in the game irrelevant. You have Echanter supports making Divers and Assassins irrelevant. That pretty much leaves the game as Bot lane vs Bot lane. Lol.

Wooo bot lane wins so you win meta wooooooooo
