Is it just me or does adc feel like a subpar role this season?
Im making this thread because i would like to compare how im feeling about the current state of the adc role with other players since season 10 changed the way i see it so drasticaly. I apologize for any typos and other errors in advance.
For starters id like to clarify that im fine with adc's no longer being the "carry" role but with how restrictive the marksman champion class became there is actualy very little to do in order to adapt to the new meta... quite franky a lot of the marksman champions seem completly unviable due to how easily it is to kill them right now and how hard is to not fall of while playing them, either you pick an adc that can somehow run for safety or you are a walking gold sac for the enemy to plunder.
I also noticed that people in my games seem to be aware of that, supports tend to go for damage oriented mages much more often than traditional supports and its quite common for them to outdamage their adc's even thou they have much less gold. sometimes people dont even bother picking an adc botlane and go with a duo mage bot or some speficic combo for synergy. peeling doesnt even exist in current lol terminology... either the adc survives by himself or dies by himself even if its in the middle of a teamfight.
in the end my games wiith adc feel like im playing a champion ballanced for being a glass cannon but only functional as a bait. either ill do no mistakes and mantain some sort of relevance... or with a single mistake ill fall behind for far that there is just no place on the map for me.
And i have actualy tried to do the same think as my opponents did and pick some mages bot which seems to actualy confirm my assumpions. Picking something like syndra bot allowed me to simply click on enemy adc to score some easy gold, i diidnt run out of mana trying to farm and push the lane. all of this while i didnt have to worry that if i wont hoard gold like a madman ill fall out of relevance
and
tho, i see more and more supports just ditch the word "support" out of their role and just play 2nd assassin/marksmen.
) But when i look at
etc..).
Bonus points of your team has 0 tanks and all assassins/squishy fighters and hide behind you while taking objectives, then flame you when you the entire enemy team jumps on you, because even if you're 0-5-4 you'll be the easiest target in the game (excluding SOME marksmen).



also helps a lot. Don't forget that supports can body block most skillshots as well!
