Damn, I hate to say it but y'all were right about ADC mains.

Holy fuck the bitching is amazing and embarassing.

Wow, you have to choose between giving up lane phase and not scaling into late as hard!

Wow you have to diversify your builds and not build IE Zeal Zeal every game.

Wow you can't get a free lane with Fleet Footwork anymore.

Legit, just fix Kai'sa and Ezreal and/or Rageblade (i think the problem is Kai'sa atm, though Phantom Hit will always be an issue long term) and the patch is fine, hell, it's great. The issues with crit ADCs atm is ecosystem-related (game too snowbally, supports way too strong which I hope they fix properly, really bad matchmaking and the jungle is a mess)

The only thing I disagree with was the base AD nerf, which should have been a similar base armor/hp buff to non ADCs instead. Other than that nearly every change was great even if we did lose late game power in the bargain.

Kaisa is in a gutted state and is back to being as weak as release day.

Ezreal is back to 50% win rate, but i still think he is a shit adc an better assassin with electrocute and gunblade rush you can 1 hit anyone squishy at 1 item, i was doing double tear ez but then i was like why scale when i can snowball with insane burst and get fed early and dominate for my team.

I think most of the complaining isn't about those reasons, but rather that they didn't do anything to rageblade and on hit carries, even though those are the strongest builds atm, while also nerfing a lot of crit carries that haven't been relevant in a long time, like sivir and ashe. In addition, many of the problems that crit had were partly because of how strong the support role has, which riot still hasn't fixed.

And yeah, part of it is the snowbally meta as of right now. But adcs are angry because instead of trying to fix the ecosystem, they shafted crit completely out of the meta, and they probably won't be back for a long time.

Were you here as soon as the mage changes were revealed (not even released on live yet)? Or the same thing with jungle changes? The complaints from ADC mains are very small in scale comparatively lmao. And I'm an ADC main and really don't care, Riot just shifted the bot lane meta it's not like they haven't been doing that for the past 7 years I've been playing.

Even on Reddit there are ADC players that realize it's best for them as a player to just adapt to the changes. Have I ever seen a mage player say that in reaction to their own changes? To be honest, I haven't. I've seen an LCS jungler or two say that junglers should adapt to the scuttle changes though.
