We All Wanted ADCs To Be A Bit More Impactful

But that didn't mean take away the classes that kept them in check. Everyone complained about how certain champs "1 shot you from stealth" now you see a beaming rifle coming your way and know there's nothing you can do to stop it. Assassins can't jump the adcs because they can't burst through all the heals and shields they're getting. Divers can't hop on the enemy adcs because of all the peel and again: heals and shields they get. Juggernauts... lol, poor juggernauts. As a matter of fact, you have to waste SO much just to kill the adc, that if they have any other damage dealer on your team, the team that had to blow more ends up losing. Half the bans are of supports and adcs right now and has to be fixed.

I can only hope the new season fixes some of the mistakes they made with the old one. Another being, Assassins shouldn't have to wait TWO whole seconds to get damage off. Riot, I'm not sure if you're aware, but that's a long ass time and a bad change at that. 3 hit passives (like Talon's) is fine to ensure that assassins hit their abilities to do damage. Honestly, that's delayed enough. If an adc can't survive before an assassin lands 3 abilities (or 2 and an auto) then they got outplayed. Azir right now is actually busted (he needs to stay gutted), supports and ESPECIALLY support items are WAY too good.

Hope to see some good changes in season 8.

ADC 2k17 was just a meme nothing more

Someone clearly didn't play ADC during the beginning of the start of the season

Someone had to play a front line Champion

ADC2k17 is a meme showcasing how whiny ADC can be when they have comparable strengths to other classes

I’d like to see the reponce to that. There were definite grips and problems that happened during that time.

An anecdote =/= the norm.

You mean the problem of an absolute idiot bitching about 'ADC in 2k17' while being incapable of killing a (most likely fed) tank without penetration?

And still two shotting Lucian like he wasn’t even there.

To be fair though, that's just what Draven does.

It's at 22 minutes. If he had chosen to get APen by that time, he wouldn't have the crit chance and AD to make those attacks in any way meaningful, and Poppy was hardly fed in that video

Do you think ADCs instantly get all the damage and stuff they need?

Pro players on both sides of that meta realized that it was a jungler's game during that time. See Akaadian on BTR.

Meanwhile, your "BPS" meme (it sure is a good way for circlejerkers to identify each other though!) hasn't made it anywhere beyond this board. Oh well, everyone else must be dumb I guess...

Hm How do you know its my meme

I did change a summoner name from Sub heroCRO to Poske

It's the meme of this board

ADCs have always been impactful. Obviously the players suffered when the meta revolved around "gank the important role, take first tower, take dragon, gank the most important role again to make sure he can't get up off the floor, go back to buy, then just 5-man gank the sucker again" but that doesn't mean the champions in that role were weak. Horribly unfun and depressing to play due to Riot's awful dragon and tower changes? Absolutely. Weak? Hell no. Why do you think people 5-man ganked them so often? Because if you didn't, you'd probably lose.
