Why are we even getting another adc so soon?

I thought you were putting champions out by class not by lane, this chick is like a cheap knockoff combination of the aesthetics of vayne and xayah without the emotional investment, I'm not saying i don't like the gameplay elements but

zoe: burst mage Ornn: Tank Kayn: Assassin Rakan: Support Xayah: adc

ok.. so

No ap assassins since...ekko we'll start there

No offlane marksmen since kindred?

no real juggernaut since illaoi

only two champions since the release of ekko have had any hard supportive interactions

since ekko came out we have gotten kindred, xayah, jhin and now this new girl, because we didn't have enough adcs i guess?

We haven't had a mechanically simplistic, or learner/dabbler champion in any class released since jinx we haven't seen any ap tanks or ap bruisers since tahm kench

no artillery since vel'koz, actually you could make an argument that you've removed one of the artillery mages from the game

No expansion on singed, no global ults since the original 40, nothing for the rumble/urgot niche (Trust me if you love one you'll love the other)

No transforming champions since jayce (gnar doesn't count)

there has only been one bruiser released since vi, unless you count illaoi or rhaast, which i don't.

no stealth champs since... vayne?

no sustain tanks since aatrox

we really don't need another adc right now, we do need more champion diversity, even new roles

other games have so much in the way of siege champions, or counter play champions. Why do you rehash the same concepts over and over again instead of hitting so many cool niches in fantasy and medieval fiction?

They've always done by lane.

Reworks should count and why is this in memes and games?

Is this a satirical post? There are a few claims you have made in the post such as: 1."no stealth champs since.. vayne"

  • The new adc champ has stealth in her kit
  1. "we really don't need another adc right now, we do need more champion diversity"
  • There are only 17 champs that can be played botlane as an adc where as midlane and toplane have a much wider variety of champions so why is it a bad thing for adc players to get another champion to make for a more diverse champ pool?
  1. "No transforming champions since jayce "
  • The reason they dont have many transforming champions is easy to see when you look at how hard it is for them to balance champs like nidalee,elise and jayce in the past. Since they have access to 9 abilities (if you count form change as 1 ability) their kits end up being overloaded and have too many tools to work with.
  1. "no global ults since the original 40"
  • Though having more global ultimates would be cool, it doesn't promote a fun playstyle for the enemy team since they have to always wonder if they are going to just get hit from across the map(eg. adcs are not fun to play vs as a melee bc they can hit you from afar). They are fun for the user of a global and allows for them to put more pressure on the map than their opponent without having to be there or take tp.
