marksmen defined as a class by requiring team assistance to succeed, all the strongest marksmen have multiple self peel spells and completely stomp out the champions meant to counter them?
something not adding up here
Where is that defined and when? I remember back in the day Graves ADC could stack 100 armor and MR while also having a huge burst with QR a dash and a smoke that blinds.
Vayne always existed
Lucian came out in season 3 i think
Tristana was always mobile,bursty and good at 1v1
Ezreal, not team reliant, incredible kiting, poke and burst
Hell most immobile ADCs were godly at 1v1 cause there was literally 90% less mobility in the game and less damage.
ADCs got squisher over the years because supports got better items so to compensate they made ADCs squishier, in reality people aren't even playing regular supports anymore and only spam pyke/brand so you still need ADCs that can be reliable on their own.
I always get pissed off when people try to define what all ADCs are, or even worse, using the term MARKSMEN that also encompasses champions like Teemo,Kindred and Quinn while talking about how MARKSMEN shouldn't be able to duel,be mobile or whatever the person making the statement feels like needs to be gutted away from them so they get an easy kill.
