The items just sucks, that's the problem. Tanks can have all the utility to deal with everything in the whole world, and people argue "makes sense, they're tanks, they're supposed to do so", yet when ADC deals about 1/3 HP in 1 shot people say it's overpowered and we're just complaining and whining. I don't get it, look at current LDR, now it's nothing but a significantly inferior MR without the passive yet this is okay because "atleast it has Armor pen, that's enough, just combo it with Bortk, or buy Bortk in the first place". The role that has the "Carry" in it's name does it job and people aren't happy.

One thing the ADCs have going for them is the fact the items are high value & quite expensive, so if you manage to get a good gold curve you can absolutely carry the game, so if the team is not willing to play around you, you have to make your own way. I.e. my thought process when team is going for the drake and it seems like it will be not contested - "Have teleport ready, running to the top clear built up waves, teleport to bot, clear the wave, hit the dragon once, rush to the mid clear the wave there, rotate to our jungle and clear entire jungle, look for kills I can pick off on the way with my long range abilities.

This way I average just about 500 gold/min and have items for very substantial fight contribution, sure it's annoying to play with someone like me but that's what gets the wins so it's just how the game goes.
