ADC balance is messed up

I'm not going to talk about Graves, he's not played botlane anymore.

Lucian and Ezreal are everywhere and they are too strong.

http://champion.gg/champion/Lucian/ADC this guy manages to have a +50% winrate even with something as absurd as 41.88% pickrate, this is just not normal

http://champion.gg/champion/Thresh/Support http://champion.gg/champion/LeeSin/Jungle this is what usually happens when you have +25% pickrate: your winrate drops due to unskilled FOTM players, yet this doesn't happen with Lucian at all, clear sign that he's overpowered and even bad players manage to win with him (players with 5-15 games have +50% winrate, and it only gets better from there).

Corki is broken, just broken, but he's being addressed fortunately.

In other words Lucian-Ezreal-Corki are all too strong and it can be clearly seen by their pickrates+winrates in both soloQ and LCS when they are in every game.

The thing that bores me about these boards is that http://champion.gg/champion/Vayne/ADC this girl had 53% winrate with 33% pickrate and people were quick to jump on the hate train (high pickrate + high winrate = broken, right?), well... Lucian and Ezreal are in the same boat and they should get addressed accordingly, because they both have higher pickrates than what Vayne had, and they still have 50+ winrates.

The fact that they don't have 53% is to be expected since the pickrate is so huge they can't have 53% winrate too else they would be hilariously broken, it would mean players with 1-5 games would win 51-52% of their games, they also have Corki to challenge them while Vayne had no one except Jinx in late S5.

Please, don't play the "he's not annoying, so he's fine if he's completely broken and played every single game", this is not a good argument and will only show your bias.

But my friend, Ezreal is just fun to play.

I mean, virtually nothing changed about his playstyle since season 5, and almost no one played him then, but now people realised how fun he is to play!

plus caitlyn is not even useful anymore all she played now is just to spam traps not actually do damage by attacking. Amumu item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

The thing is, the ADC pool isnt diverse as mid or top. And well if the pool is small and every adc is "balanced" (in a sense that everything is OP or broke) you will get a flat out winrate 50% by default. technically

But im pissed off anyways to be honest. i agree

yea right and do u remeber b4 preseason when no one picked Lucian or EZ cause they sucked ass and the only ones you saw were JInx and Vayne sorry id rather have LUcian ez every game than to see vayne jinx every time. At least for a good long while

almost every adc that has been overtuned these last 2 month was rushing item 3508

i cant be the only one who noticed that, and how broken this item is.

I think people complain about Vayne but not Ezreal and Lucian is because Vayne feels completely unfair to play against. While Ezreal, while annoying to play against, doesn't feel unfair. Same goes for Lucian. The enemy team doesn't feel like they're going to win almost exclusively because they picked Lucian or Ezreal.

Lucian doesn't press R and gain 3k gold worth of stats and doesn't deal ridiculous amounts of damage that can't be built against. Ezreal doesn't bring anything but poke for his team so him getting ahead doesn't feel like the games over.

My only problem with Ezreal is how boring and annoying he feels to play against. He just mindlessly launches Q's out with nearly no risk to himself.
