what if marksmen have reduced AD ratio on basic attacks like how kalista works?

its probably dumb idea ill admit but if you lower the damage output of burst on adcs to 80-90% of their AD the role would feel less of a burst and a buff to tanks in general.

uh.. hope to god they never ever do this to any adc at all as it kinda defeats the point of an adc, and other lanes do more damage than adcs until very late game. there's reasons kalista is very bad, very situational. They need to just buff a bit of scaling for resistances on tanks.

Aren't marksmen supposed to be dps champions? The reliability and ease of multiplying their damage defeats that by design.

sometimes DPS is a another word for a assassin champion who can blast you in a couple of seconds after a infinity edge using range. again though i hate having to respect my enemy's burst damage as simple as a right click.

for some reason crits dont require mana while real assassins do need it....

In comparison an assassin should be doing burst damage, however they're a flawed class by design in a pvp environment. Marksmen should be grinding down enemies, not instagibbing them; though I'd say damage across the board should be lowered, you bring up a neat idea with how to do it.

riot buffing damages probably the thing that depresses me. if they scaled back it a bit it would be more "balanced". and yes tanks do need more defenses and i dont mean heavy CC bots like leonia. i mean those ones like rammus who can run into a full AD team (back then) then hurt them bad since frozen heart/thornmail op but these days a full AD team can kill rammus easily.

I mean, i disagree completely with Rammus walking into a team and expecting to survive.. he should damage them, but not almost solo handedly take down the team with his armor.. they need to make it so tanks can take alot more damage, do a medium amount of less damage, and give them a bit more cc.. Or well.. tbh thats fine if it is a 100% ad team.. as long as they dont have say, Vayne or kai to break armor.. but in general terms i believe tanks should have more hp, hit less harder, and have more cc

i didnt say kill them i said hurt them pretty bad since his thorns/w effect allows it. and yes i do believe tanks should live longer.

uh, ADCs are definitely not the only source, or even the biggest source, of damage in the game right now.

Bruisers/fighters, and Assassins have truck loads of damage.

All this would do is force marksmen out of the meta and put mages bot lane again.

Pretty much this and it's already happening even with the current state of ADCs Heimerdinger bot is a thing now and not in the Support Role.
