No no, Marksmen mains- or Marksmains- are all being turned into little smears on the floor by the AD assassins who benefit from the new items just as much as they do.

wait---you need to explain this to me---you didn't see that coming?

I thought people more or less agreed that never actually happened, and there is no "marksman meta" (much less a Vayne meta, she's still getting her ass handed to her by the more-dominant adcs). People just thought there would be in the Preseason, but it didn't really happen. They don't dominate games anywhere near to the extent people thought they would. None is really a must-ban, and none is all that dominating. Quinn used to be a pain, but eh, not really anymore. People are still banning the classic bans, like Mundo, Brand, Jax, you know, people who are in no way marksmen.

Well, maybe with the exception of MissFortune , but even then she's only banned sometimes. She's pretty crazy right now, and I'm expecting her to get nerfed pretty damned hard.

You're like that Asshole that goes to movies and always asks "How is that possible?" Aren't ya >.>

With a capital A? Nah. I mean, I know people who do that, but...I'm not actually sure how that's related to the topic at hand. Apparently I said something wrong, though, because I've already got two downvotes...Dang.

Actually the only thing wrong with the comment you just replied to, is that he did not start the sentence with a capital letter.

Oh and that I isn't capitalized.

I feel like this is more of a lucian meta then a vayne one. Hes so damn slippery and that ulti OMG.

Stop calling adcs marksmen.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO

Isn't it the other way around? Attack-Damage-Carries aren't really designated "carries" anymore. Seems like it kind of varies between the lanes much more often since that term came into effect. Mid-laners and top-laners can "carry" in the traditional siege-turrets-and-kill-everything sense just as often, if not more often, now, and the occasional hypercarry jungler (usually Rengar, really, but a few others stand out, too) is also out there.

Sure they are carries,everyone can carry.

It's not about describing the role best as possible,it's about refusing to change the status quo for the wrong reasons.

The name change was to reduce pressure on the adc role that they have "to carry",the actual solution to this mindset is to git gud and understand what each role is capable of,instead of changing ancient terms so that idiots wouldn't have an excuse to be stupid(it's not like the new term is to define the role better either,hence why morde is a marksman).

All your points are fair and granted. The role names don't feel practical to me, with the exception of marksman (ranged), tank (high defensive stats, generally has at least one ability that scales with health or armor), and mage (ability-based). Once you get into stuff like Fighter, Assassin, or Support, it gets a little more ambiguous as to who does what, because they tend to blend together a bit and don't really make much sense in-game, anyway. Throw in the not-a-class-term "juggernaut" (of which there are...four, I think? Darius, Skarner, Morde, Garen? Maybe Morde less so these days, not sure what they're planning on doing with him to give him a place somewhere, but that's a different topic.) and it gets even more confusing.

Then there's the oddities like Ashe, a Marksman/Support. I get what they're talking about because she's fairly loaded on crowd control for a marksman, but you don't exactly see a lot of people pick Ashe and say "support" in Draft Pick. Tends to not go over well. With a lot of champs, their classes don't really seem to fit.

The classes are mostly supposed to describe what the champion brings,so champions with good utility will have "support" added to them,hence why syndra is also labeled as such,but they always were something arbitrary which doesn't tell too much,so they never placed much effort into it.

adc into marksman(which as morde proves,doesn't have much to do with range either),was changed to give idiots one stupid thing less to say("you're adc,why aren't you carrying") which I don't approve of since it's changing ancient terminology so that morons will have less things to be stupid about.

League makes you a little bitter too, I can tell, at least sometimes. I seriously don't blame you at all, the game's community can be difficult to deal with at times.
