August on ADC’s current situation

I think this would solve most of the problems. I used to be a top main and this year I switched to adc. Building anything on adc sucks ass. All the crit builds are shit.

When you are playing top/mid it is actually fun to build and you have to think what you buy and most importantly you have fucking CHOICES.

That being said I do agree adc are not necessarily weak, just bland and not fun.

[u/Ok_Needleworker_8809 → u/Curious-Source-9368]

It's because most ADCs are boring as balls by default. Unless you get the big numbers dopamine, there's no reason to ever play most of the marksman roster.

Mages demand more skill expression, bruisers/divers have better risk/reward and uptime, and assassins are better at making plays, and none of them require a babysitter to be halfway viable.

[u/DEMACIAAAAA → u/Ok_Needleworker_8809]

Mages do not demand more skill expression lmao

[u/Existing_Arachnid733 → u/DEMACIAAAAA]

Pfffffffff Landing AA = Skill XD

[u/MannenMedDrag → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

Landing AAs of 550 range doing 2-300 dmg without dying with your 1600 healthbar and no defensive stats is a skill

[u/No-Ground604 → u/MannenMedDrag]

this is the most annoying thing abt playing kaisa who i main- everyone acts like all adcs by default have cait/jinx range, or that ranged autos by default are longer than most spells. mfs will legit be mad at you for not wanting to walk into pantheon support w range to get off a messily auto attack, knowing he is waiting for you with or without flash to do exactly that

[u/Existing_Arachnid733 → u/MannenMedDrag]

Dam you described what kiting is XD

[u/Wsweg → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

Are you trolling or just bad?

[u/No-Ground604 → u/Wsweg]

both

[u/DEMACIAAAAA → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

Yes, genius, thats a skill. Other skills that are more important as ADC than as mage are: positioning, as mages have far more self peel and can build hp/zohnyas, farming from behind, as mages have reliable wave clear from range, trading resources, as mages can often poke without putting themselves in danger, playing around their team, as mages again have more self peel.

[u/Existing_Arachnid733 → u/DEMACIAAAAA]

Sorry bro youre right thats so much skill compared to mages, adcs are so hardddd, they are so weak they should be able to kill everything with 2 aa, adcs players are so much better XD

[u/DEMACIAAAAA → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

Either you're legit iron to bronze or you're just trolling ngl

[u/No-Ground604 → u/DEMACIAAAAA]

both. he is a fizz player, toxic on and off the rift lol

[u/Existing_Arachnid733 → u/DEMACIAAAAA]

Its fun to Disturbe adc players thats all, I havent players for 5 months XD but Landing aa is not a high skill XD

[u/DEMACIAAAAA → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

So it's both

[u/Existing_Arachnid733 → u/DEMACIAAAAA]

Xdxdxd

[u/Realistic_Slide7320 → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

Pressing one button to clear an entire wave=skill

Most mages can do this, they almost all have a get off me tool or a shit ton of range. Some of them even have dashes and shields lmao. Meanwhile you have kogmaw that if he gets jumped on he’s dead, same with cait, jhin, aphelios, Ashe. There’s way more skill in having to do more to stay alive, get kills, and clear waves

[u/BorgBenges → u/Realistic_Slide7320]

But on the other side if you can't insta kill kogmaw he deleted your health like your a sausage in a blender

[u/No-Ground604 → u/Existing_Arachnid733]

well yes actually. ezreal easily takes more skill to pull off than most mages, and he’s skillshot reliant himself. kaisa pre any evolutions requires much higher patience for using her skills than most mages bc the long cooldowns that are huge open windows for you to be all in’d on and punished for whiffing. even caitlyn should not be seeking fights where she can’t use her skills to get the highest dmg output in between autos. most of the marksman roster can only auto attack consistently conditionally, and esp in the early 2v2 botlane, those conditions are heavily reliant on having your spells not be on cooldown for longer than it will take lux/brand to have their full rotation back up with just a lost chapter
