I think the funniest part about ADCs being so overbearing is

How much weaker they tend to be in lore.

In game they are the most powerful and most influential members of their teams. But in lore, many are just like, dudes with guns or something.

Girl with a bow. Ice magic also maybe? Mostly the bow. Girl with gun. Shoot good, very snipe. Guy in a tiny copter. Vroom. Guy with throwing axes. Probably not even a fighter, just an executioner. Aight this guy i pretty magic. Pew pew. Guy with gun. Shoot good, very art. Girl with gunS. That's right, 2 of em. sp00ky. Probably strong in lore? idk Guy with gunS. Holy guns! So that's something. Girl with gunS 2. Bigger breasts, which makes her pretty OP. Girl with cool boomerang. Throws it gud. Small girl with big gun. Bouncy. Rat with bow. So sneaky, despite the stench. Okay yeah he's strong in lore. No bow-mo. Girl with crossbow. Makes creatures afraid of the walls. Bird girl with sharp feathers. Likes PDA. K yeah. Death and her puppy or something. That's a point for ADCs. Guy with shotgun. Actually reloads, what a loser.

Anyway pls make the bullets/arrows hurt less rito.

Kalista Is kind of immortal Varus Power of a Darkin Kindred Death himself (but not really as powerful as the grim reaper I think)

But yeah the rest is just some guys and girls with guns, crossbows, axes an idiot with a boomerang and a dumbass in a copter.

But to be fair

Darius A guy with an axe Garen A guy with a sword Gragas A drunk guy Kled A guy with PTSD or something Nunu A dumbass on a yeti XinZhao A guy with a spear Talon Assassins creed guy Rammus Ok

There aren't just ADC's being kinda "what?" on the lore-ingame comparison

Jinx actually has 3 guns. Pow Pow, Fishbones and Zap.

And I kinda think you underplay some marksmen in terms of power.

Ashe Ashe has a true ice bow, which is a quite powerful magical weapon.

Jinx Don't underestimate the advantage of having a rocket launcher in a world like Runeterra. Illaoi might have a contract with a god. She still stays miles away from Jinx while she gets some nasty rockets launched at her and there is not much Illaoi could do against that.

Caitlyn Same like Jinx, she is a sniper and that is a huge advantage in such a world. So Vel'Koz can disintegrate matter, fine. Getting a hextech bullet in his eye from the other side of the rift is still going to hurt.

Out of all the mortal marksman (aka no immortal/darkins Varus Kindred Kalista ) I think Jhin is the deadliest. Ultra range, magical bullets that can hurt any living being, and perhaps even immortal ones while also carrying traps and a good physical body (Jhin got dem packs). He always has the element of surprise since he lives in exile and has his identity covered.

It's quite different from supports. (I only took a few because there's a lot to typeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) Bard - Caretaker that comes and goes, nobody knows why Janna - Saved a lot of people, seen as a goddess, rules air magic Lulu - Wandered off with Pix to live with their species, then returned to Bandle city to play hide and seek with the children, turning them into flowers to spice up the game, then became exiled because the community wasn't happy with her magic Nami - Took on an adventure bravely for her people Sona - well-behaved child that was left at the doorstep of an orphanage with her etwahl. Orphanage realized she was mute, still nobody wanted her, then tried to sell her etwahl, it was returned. Lestara Buvelle then adopted her, and taught her to use the etwahl, then she would perform, and in her own time, practiced cutting with her notes. Then came to League to use her talents Soraka - From the enchanted grove, she was a wanderer who served to protect. Warwick asked her to help him recover his wife, she couldn't. She pleaded him to not fight the ones who had killed her, but he didn't listen. She went to help him anyway, and went against her rule to never use her powers for harm. After fighting them off, Warwick stabbed her, trying to get her heart, then she fought him off. The stars were no longer with her, but she promised to help as many as she could.

I wouldn't underestimate Trist. While she's definitely stronger than I'd like in game, in Lore she's a Yordle who is ageless compared to humans and had access to magic that humans don't, I'd say she's a little stronger than u think, this applies 2 Teemo as well.

Jinx has 3 guns actually: Pow-Pow, Zapper and Fishbones.

It works the other way around, too! Some of the most powerful character in lore aren't played very often in game: Aatrox Full Darkin with blood magic AurelionSol Giant cosmic space dragon who made the stars Kindred Personification of death itself Lissandra Ancient frost being trying to resurrection eldritch ice thingies Mordekaiser Nigh unkillable barbarian king of war and death Nocturne Darkness demon Ryze Very powerful rune mage trying to find the fragments of creation Skarner Ancient crystalline creature Volibear Literal demigod of lightning and war

Jinx has 3 guns, i know riot forgot about that themselves when they made SG jinx but she has 3 and you better get that shit right.

tbh, this is also why in lore they're often more interesting than crap like aurelion sol or ORN (who doesn't even have an entertaining personality). "oh i'm a big all powerfull space dragon don't mind me. but atleast i'm sassy" or "me big angery man-ram-thing. Me hate brother bear and everyone else. leave me alone, i don't like ppl. I'll just sit here browing 9 gag like a loser, saying i don't like ppl. and did i mention i don't like ppl" I'm afraid for league's future champions tbh. I hope we get more "small" champions again. Not everyone has to be a fuckin demi god.

Jhin has a powerful gun that’s augmented by his own magic.

Sharjo's power-tier list is a great read. It was made before Aurelion Sol's release but it's really well-thought out and seems to be generally accurate with the exception of Varus who is now a Darkin and is definitely a lot stronger. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/h5YM39JK-the-strongest-and-weakest-champions-in-the-lore

Kindred are death and I don't think you're giving them quite enough credit. They're incomprehensibly strong. Kalista and Varus are very strong.

Jinx is a weird case. She's a twig with no armor; she'd die if she was shot once or twice. However, she has a rocket launcher and a machinegun, which are really powerful weapons. (She also has Zap but Zap sucks.) A rocket explosion would kill very many Champions on League's roster if they were caught off guard and didn't magically shield themselves.

Others are pretty weak, I agree.

I think that pro players getting support items for survivability because they already do so much damage with five items is the funniest part.
