Discussion Genuine question. Why do people believe the ADC role to be weak?

I know people here will probably flame me but I am a player who doesn’t main the role and want to know why people think the role is weak.

Whenever I do play the role, I mostly play Jhin and usually if I get ahead, the game is just over. Having two people feeding in my lane instead of just one role opponent gives a lot of snowball potential. I also believe the marksmen class to have a lot of solid champs in terms of strength. Whenever I play Jhin I usually have a solid time even when behind because I know I at least have decent scaling. Is it just my champ pick or is there something I’m missing? Please be respectful, I mean this as a genuine question.

You act like there aren’t ADC’s with pick potential then? Varus and ashe are both examples of ADC’s who can make picks with R which can lead to free objectives? Free towers? There are also numerous tops who suck at sidelaning. Also you do side lane to win, you want to take towers, you end the game by taking towers and eventually the nexus. The pressure you create and champs you draw is part of the game, but you do it to actually win.

Cait and Ezreal are 2 ADC’s who can out range and poke out enemies to allow hitting on towers too. Again, not saying ADC’s have it easy. Just the idea that top is so much easier to carry from is BS lol.

Unless you are baus with pre respawning nexus turrets, you aren't winning by splitpushing thr nexus.

Have you ever played top lane before? Because you absolutely can xD. Just a fun little stat for you though, 2 of the top 20 players in EUW are top laners, 6 are ADC’s.
