As an ADC main, I really dont understand the hate towards adcs when we can get oneshoted easily by almost anyone? It also isnt that rare, I get oneshot almost any game (No I dont lose all my games and no I dont feed all my games). Bot gets 4 man ganked a lot which is very frustrating. Bot lane also is the lane that usually gets/loses the tower first which is also very frustrating.

Im very curious on why does that hate exist when adc's are very easy to shut down (well, most of them). Im not here to argue and to riot, I just want some info.

The problem people have with ADC's right now is that people are finally figuring out the value of an ADC and actively protecting them with shields, heals, and peel. I have no problem with them because it is just common sense to protect the person doing damage. An ADC by themselves is pretty worthless.

Honestly, I don't get the board's hatred for ADCs either. :/ They're squishy and even if they get fed, there's a good chance they still won't carry, a fact that I find frustrating as an ADC main. I play Tristana; if I make it through her meh early game, her shitty fucking mid game, and into the 35-40 minute mark of the game 10/3, I deserve to fucking win the goddamn game. I have kited and positioned well and used my flash/jump/ults and appropriate times to save my skin. I've sieged towers where I can safely, I've grouped and put out as much damage as I possibly can, even when I'm not at the strongest point of my game. So I deserve to not lose to the game to the equally fed Lee Sin jungle who was supposedly meant to fall off ages ago at the forty minutes mark in the game. Or I deserve to win the game without fear of the Twitch that I dumpstered in lane and that isn't ACTUALLY good coming in and getting a lucky fucking ult because he managed to stealth us at baron.

ADC is a fucking trash role when you aren't even garuanteed to win the game when you get fed.

You get all of the good items, have an entire role dedicated to saving your ass, deal more damage than anything else in the game, and at longer range usually, and yet most of you still complain about EVERYTHING.

My problem with adcs are the shield meta and itemization.

Three adcs are ridiculously strong right now and once they have Pd+Dd...they are increasingly hard to burst.

Sure it is fun to two shot squishies and be incredibly tanky and safe as Caitlyn....but it is cancer.

This is coming from an Adc main.

I use to be in the boat of everybody, including a support can 100 to zero you.....but that was two seasons ago.

Adcs are coming online faster and have an even stronger late game.

Now factor in all the champs, support items with ridiculous shields amd peel, and you can see the problem.

You aren't getting to mid or adc when they have 3 plus shields and infinite healing.

The problem comes from being unable to dive or assassinate adc come mid to late game.

Focusing down and dealing with a threat should remain feasable all game long. Getting blown up before your engage tool even finishes their animation is bad.

Having a pure damage building squichy target survive your burst even if you manage to flank properly and then kill you and heal back up in 3 hits (which takes little over a second with 2.5 attackspeed) is also bad.

Because the board is filled with bads who think they should be able to play any bruiser and tank 5 dudes while ezmode assassinating the mage and ADC at the same time.

I think the main problem is now that people can just spam shield and heal it's the life steal. ADC can now face tank most tanks and come out with full hp.
