Please note i want a nerf to ad casters based but i would like yours and if possible riots opinion on the matter

Pretty clear that auto attack based carriers are getting out performed by ad casters (except lucian oddly enough)

They are out traded in lane and the game doesnt last long enough for them to scale so we have come to that fork in the road where you riot will have to decide

Nerf lethality or buff crit which will/should it be?

Do not buff crit.

Crit ADCs are already too strong, deal too much damage and their damage already is so high it disrupts game balance. Just because Lethality is even more busted it doesn't mean that Crit isn't a problem. ADCs as a class need to take nerfs.

Yeah twitch was very strong last season due to the strength of crit and he is still strong.

Should be nerfing lethality in my opinion.

I feel like crit ADCs are in a good spot. When they manage to win lane against AD casters (largely due to being better / having a better support or lots of jungle presence) they still seem super strong throughout the game. The crit ADCs seem to be in a good spot, the lethality users are just a little over the top.

Lethality ADCs are mostly fine after 7.24B:

Miss Fortune just got nerfed: https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/current/platinum/plus/champion/MissFortune/
Jhin performs below 50% winrate: https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/current/platinum/plus/champion/Jhin/
As does Varus: https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/current/platinum/plus/champion/Varus/
And Lucian is more of a midlaner nowadays: https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/current/platinum/plus/champion/Lucian/ADC/

Basically, we're in a similar situation as in the beginning of 2017 right now, when the "ADC in 2017" meme came into existence. And we all know how that turned out...
