Why Is ADC Necessary?

I bet you were expecting a shit post about how ADC players need to stop bitching about how their class is weak. Well, good sir or madam, I must rebuke you. You are wrong. Before 40 minutes, the class is absolute garbage, and most games don't make it past 25 minutes.

So, why is the class still being picked? Minute 41. As it stands, there is not a single class in the entire game that can match an ADC with full build and a team. If your , you sometimes don't even need the team. This is the reason ADC is still being picked despite the fact that many will tell you it is in a bad spot. It is picked because it is insurance. That doesn't mean you have the pick it, it isn't needed to win and the new picks down bot are, in fact, a good thing. Just know that if YOU cannot finish the game quickly, they will scale up.

Edit 1: Also, because the class as a whole takes objectives better than the other classes.

because the class that is best at taking objectives is necessary in a game about taking objectives. Who knew?

But with the rise of Ziggs "ADC", this is looking like it is changing. And this is a good thing.

They aren't. With the AP champions doing more damage to towers, I see no point in being mandatory to have an "ADC" in your team. You can have a mage on bot lane and it will do just as fine.

For competitive, there's a different story. But for SoloQ, ADCs shouldn't be "mandatory".

ad isnt necessary. i hard carry with yasuo bot. provided my team wont tilt and we have a decent mage. also, because riot hasnt figured out they can just reduce attack speed items if they think ad's are too good at taking towers.

also, the class is weak. you cant carry a game with them. i dont give a damn that it makes my teammates stronger. that would be a multiplicative effect. Ad makes my team 35% stronger rather than 25% stronger. But 10% of 0 strength is still 0. The ad role is strong. The ad PLAYER is weak as fuck.

Mages are the master race class in this game. They have the best itemization, the most flexible kits, and now they're starting to compete with ADCs for objective control.
