Having played a decent chunk of games this weekend I've determined that ADC is not fun this patch and that I'd rather play top. Unsettling to say the least.

Now with 22% more apathy!
My main roles since atleast season 3 have been 1) ADC Mid 2) ADC Bot, and frankly Ive never understood the bitching from other ADC mains about being weak/unfun. ADCs have never been weak (in terms of total game impact) and if you find them unfun just play something else for a while?

I'm sure it has more to do with me being bad at positioning than anything particularly in 6.22. I was being a little glib. It feels like my ADC life is constantly riding on the edge of a knife in games featuring assassins like Kat and Akali. I make one mistake and I'm instantly deleted and I'm. Just. Not. Good. Enough.

twitch and vayne dont really suffer from that "i can't do anything by myself" feeling which is sort of important but i don't know how long the vayne thing will last. it doesn't seem like they'll keep fervor useless forever. of course q max vayne is sort of an unlikely series of events too. so long as most adcs dont have a two item power spike she'll still be good.

Not only is q max crit burst insane but she's completely invisible for 2/3s of a teamfight unless you have TF. Riot completely dropped the ball on their stealth rework. Like it's fine that you don't want someone to be countered by dropping a 100g ward in a teamfight, but you gotta add the effect onto to a 2k support item at the very least.

Grab cinderhulk, smite frog, don't even need thornmail, enemy ADC gets poisoned for 400 damage every time they auto.

Only vayne or lategame bloodthirster ADC could touch tanks in that period.

Are they ever going to nerf Vayne?

I'm kind of tired playing melee and being able to do dick if there's a Vayne with just a few items on her. Armor doesn't really help and getting more health just seems to benefit her lifesteal more than anything else.

Assassin meta -> Tank played more often to counter them -> Vayne is strong again

Nerfing Vayne just makes tanks stronger since there's so few tankbusters

They're obviously gonna nerf the Colossus mastery at the same time, maybe even before.

I just get this sneaky suspicious that Riot will knee-jerk nerf a lot of things which opens up a horrible meta right in time for the new season to start. Probably something involving Assassins and no longer having any counters. Colossus is ridiculous though, getting a good Malphite or Alistar knockup puts such a massive shield on you.

I just want them to nerf Vayne's invisibility, I'm fine with the dashes, cc and extreme amount of damage. I just need to be able to see her better so I can kill her.

To be honest I find that absolutely preferable to the world turning grayscale 0.00005 seconds into a teamfight because I stepped 0.001 teemos in the wrong direction.

I think it's silly that some champions have "hard to visually track in a fight" basically built into their kit.

I'd rather tankbusting be a itemization specialization choice then a "you lost at champion select" choice, personally.

I would agree that one of the hardest MOBA skills to learn probably shouldn't have a way to just be turned off during team fights, but I don't really know what the safe middle ground between All Get hosed and No Invisibility In This Area wards is.

In other news, Nunu support, still hilarious.

They already have said Vayne is going to be hit in the coming patch. Twitch so far they said doesn't seem as bad.

Guaranteed nerf on Colossus though, no way that poo poo gets out in its present form or you'll see blanket nerfs to a lot of hard CC champs. Given the latter is way too much work, probably the first thing.

Serv in your old age you are forgetting the tried and true balance tactic of nerf champions that benefit from something, then shitcan the actual cause of their power later

not nerfing Twitch is great, as it encourages adcs to learn the most important skill for the role, how to trade 1 for 1 for the enemy support directly before every objective fight

how about they blanket nerf hard cc champs and then also nerf colossus two patches later. Source: everything theyve done for the last two and a half years.

no, first, before nerfing hard cc, theyre going to give it a stupid name like mobility denial tools and then develop a multipage research paper on it linking it to toxicity, before removing it entirely from the game, before putting it back in with everything changed so that even though it isnt perceptibly worse it still feels egh so no one will play those champs until someone in korea notices that the changes they put in on some obscure champion were passed over

riot has historically thought their preseason changes are always good and fine and also incorrectly attribute that the champs taking advantage of their changes are too strong, therefore you have champs ruined for years at a time

I'm still amazed that we haven't seen Warwick mysteriously become op with the introduction of a new on hit jungle item. I expect they'll patch in a plant that provides a true damage on hit buff to rectify this.
