[@olsenfernandes3634]

​@@Vario69 Idk about you but if I'm the one who's fed and am still being stopped in my tracks and unable to kill the enemy ADC because of a fucking support then I'd be very very very mad. I mean, that's the exact reason people hate Lulu. The little shit has point and click CC, slow and a buff soo big that it turns anyone it's used on into a tank. The only way I would find it fair would be if the entire enemy team focused me so that the rest of my team could bulldose through and wipe the enemy team out with our gold advantage.

[@prismriot4910]

I disagree with that being the issue. “High damage = Squishy” works fine, on the caveat that the high damage they get is fairly exclusive to them (they can’t be the only archetype who do damage, but they are one of the ONLY ones who should be able to do that much. This balances out. So that while other non high damage classes can’t output as much in raw numbers, they can take more by their own means, and your low health means they can still fight you reliably if they reach you. It’s what evens it out. The issue is that basically every archetype in the game now does insane damage. In old league if a melee champ caught you, yeah you might lose, but you could still fight. That doesn’t exist anymore. If they catch you, you basically die instantly. The only way to succeed as an ADC now is to just not get damaged in any capacity whatsoever. That’s insanely unhealthy in a PVP game, and is also insanely unrealistic. The games combat and game pace needs to slow WAY the fuck down for ADCs to be decent.

Totally hit this one on the head. Recently champions begin to feel as of they are designed to be multiple classes at once or entirely subvert the strength and weaknesses of their supposed class. Like Qiyana can be a diver, fighter, engage, burst, dps, zoner all at once. Yuumi is an untargetable healer that breaks the basic rule of gaming where you "target the healer." Gwen was also a tank buster, burst, dps, diver, yadda yadda so on and so forth. If a champion can kind of do everything, then when do they ever have a moment of vulnerability?

I find the play against ratings of mages and tanks odd. I personally prefer playing against Mages or Tanks more than playing against Fighters. I think Mages and Tanks are only really scary or feel unfair, because they slow the game down by their controlling abilities, which I don't think is as objectively bad as Slayers 1v9ing and can also be a good thing, because they tend to give games more structure by being more defensive in nature through CC and ranged waveclear.

[@ultimatesonic47]

@@ultimatesonic47 It has nothing to do with avoiding their lockdown, it has everything to do with time to kill. An adc can shred a tank, if they have the time to do so. But why does that even matter whenever someone gets engaged on and over half of your team is dead by the time you get three autos. A teamfight is pratically deicided by the time the first ability is hit because in most cases that positions them in a way to cc your entire team. Why do you think a 6 man Ori ult is so huge, even without the dmg it puts everyone in a vulnerable position. And even if the adc doesn't get hit, they can't do anything in reponse to it in equal measure. Also most tanks have aoe cc, that pretty much fits the entire jungle. So the range you have to operate is effectively away from your team or just barely in range to fight. So even if you don't get hit, someone else getting hit gets you hit and also getting by anything at all gets you killed.

IDK about giving them a D to fight against, cuz it's hardly every the fed Orianna, or the fed Xerath I hafta worry about when I'm playing ADC or supporting them. Cuz the counterplay to mages is dodge and then lockdown. And the lockdown doesn't even need to be long before they get picked, especially if you have a Vanguard and an assassin. Of course that's the nature of playing, mage, but realistically, dodging the spells and knowing how they work seems to be something most people learn how to do fairly well after they hit level 30.

Azir is so different from your typical mage "I press buttons lots of damage kaboom" and yeah, it didn't felt like I was playing a mage, I was playing Azir, replacing the enemy's towers with mines as I was advancing in my lane. I felt like the Emperor of Shurima, defending my kingdom, my lane against this stupid ass Akshan who didn't understand what "my tower now" meant (He almost killed himself running under what used to be his T1).

Literally no counterplay... The worst part is when those zed mains then act like they just "outplayed" or hell even just played well for doing one of the easiest things in the game. Same goes for champs like Kha Zix, Qyiana, rengar, eveylnn, Ad shaco etc. If you get in range to even autoattack you immedieatly get oneshot without any counterplay. Worst are those that get untargetable and invisible so that even standing next to your teammates doesnt have any effect. Honestly if theyd stop releasing champs that can carry but dont need any form of skill to do so adc would probably be the best role.

I think the juggernaut class is the best base because it allows for the greatest build diversity with either defensive and or offensive itemization depending on matchups and is clear cut in what champions are able and not able to do with flat-ish numbers. unlike %hp, healing, crit, excessive mobility or skillshot reliance etc.

[@rextron6437]

Tanks are D tier to play literally any champ that has lethal temp, blade of the ruined king and rageblade can beat you in a 1v1 ATM (not quit anyone people with low attack speeds like Rell can't). the amount of times someone has built 1 of the 15+ anti tank items and i go from it takes 5 seconds to kill me to 1. like 4 item Rammus and I go from winning against an Akshan to he adds an LDR to his build and I start to loose hard. Stuff like that is what makes me wonder why i main tank and then i get tower dove by some idiots and 1v4 them. Yeah basically when everyone gets 5 items you start to insta die and you start to be out tanked by skirmishers and basically just anyone with healing in their kit or building healing items. There is times where I am Rammus or Malphite into 4 ad champs and I am basically unkillable besides like yi, trundle and vayne cause they delete you even with 1k armour and i get to actually be an unkillable unit for a bit like I might last 5 seconds with all 5 of them attacking me and then I will die which feels amazing when that 1 in 300 games happens but it good. also just top is 90% non tanks cause if you go a tank you just get out everything's by the other classes in lane as the team fight champ stuck in the island lane against all the champs that are meant to win 1v1's. Bar like Sion cause he is basically a juggernaut with how he build 3 damage items and starts to 1 shot combo you with a prowlers. Also as they keep adding characters like Sett to the game where you either build hp so his w does less of total of you hp bar but then his r does 60% of your max plus 120% bonus ad it feels like they just don't want tanks to work in the game. (also 7 out of the last 10 champs have max or current hp damage in their kit which doesn't include Sett) So rant I guess about why tanks feel trash to play at at least in high silver low gold cause that's where my norms games are about in rank based on the people I verse and stuff. I think tanks are better the higher you go cause they are the team focused role but in casual they just get out classed by other classes as their job. Also I do kinda hate a few adc's cause you just can't do anything against them if you have no mobility in your kit or Vayne but mostly they are fine just not fun to get 1 shot combo'ed by a 3 item Caitlyn as a tank.

[@mayguardian1]

yeah tanks kinda suck rn, but i mostly think that’s because every anti tank item gives too much utility, and top lane is so isolated from the map. bork, ldr, shadowflame, liandries, etc. are all first pick items even if the enemy team doesn’t have tanks, so other classes literally give up nothing to itemize against tanks. + with tp changes, top lane is more of an island than ever, so ur more likely to end up behind bc u lose the 1v1. tanks are actually doing super well in the jungle rn, they’re just not very good in the current top meta

What we cannot forget and what is so important to league is that every game feels very different. I recently had a toplane game as Ornn and the enemy picked Darius into my Ornn. On paper, this is a juggernaut tank-buster against a tank, so i should, by class, loose this matchup hard. I ended up going 4-0 in Lane because i got a solo kill early, bought tabis and bamis, and was unkillable for the Darius at that point. The enemy was nearly full ad, and this let me to be able to soak basically the entire enemy team by minute 20 while my competent mid and jungle (who made up for the 0/11 botlane) killed them. It was a great game and it felt like i, as a tank, carried that game. This was because the circumstances matched in a way where my class felt great to play snd the enemy probably smashed their face into the screen asking why they were getting 1000 sunfire damage per fight while i was barely loosing half health. Classes like Slayers often feel unfun to play against, but i would argue that there is no easier enemy to kill than a Slayer who doesn't get off the ground. Circumstances make this game and having fun with League or not is entirely a mindset thing. If i play adc and an assasin one shots me with 2 abilities, i shouldn't say "oh wow that's broken". Because it that is exactly what an assasin is supposed to do. They one shot adcs. I should ask myself what went wrong in the first place, why did the assassin even have the opportunity to one shot me, not why he one shots me with 2 abilities.

I would argue there are three subclasses that are tied for first place: Divers, Juggernauts, and Skirmishers. This is for one reason and one reason only - agency. Agency is defined by one’s ability to control the outcome of the game, and these three have the most by leaps and bounds. All three can start fights, take objectives quickly, knock down towers, and overall apply the most pressure. The reason why they’re tied is because each one excels where the other lacks, and different scenarios call for different builds. Juggernauts have far superior durability and ability to take up space, but they lack the mobility that their peers have. Divers have the best initiation of the three, while being a jack of all trades in their stat line. Skirmishers have the most damage and stick potential, while also being the squishiest. Regardless, there’s a reason why these three classes reach rank 1 so consistently and this is why.

[@zandromex8985]

These are the most effective classes at a given time, sure, but the question was not in this direction.

ADC becoming worse and worse mainly not because of something changing with class but everything around them. When they add new drake or buff or item some monster or etc. they make game better for everyone else but the marksman so it becomes harder for you to take em out if they can do more stuff and you cant. Whats more frustrating is that riot knows that and their fix is "release new meta adapted adc" . New adc can do so much more and often have mobility but they still go botlane against old ones so obv they win lanes have higher win rates and get nerfed to the ground in return. Things also don't help that adc became "good" around 30 min if unfed- when game is about to end so you have nothing good to do other than follow the team just to get some safe farming. And on top of that other classes need less items that are cheaper and more efficient. The whole game just hates this class even tho most champs in it are fun and healthy designed.

7:44 Nah that was right on the spot If anything you kinda underestimated it

[@shacolin6546]

Every class in one sentence. Tanks: are like communism. Irrelevant for most of existance but terrifies people for some reason. Enchanter: out of every 10 balance problems in the game, 11 are caused by their items being too cheap. Marksmen: the only class in the game to monopolize a role, to never fall out of the meta and for most of the game's existence, not having one on your team meant someone was trolling, yet somehow their players think they're the weakest. Artillery/burst mage: Shieldbow/Wit's End costs 6500 gold while the oblivion orb, the shadowflame and the void staff I'd use to counter it cost 6600 while giving me no haste, no mana, no armor and no mythic. Battle mage: **season 12 celebration noises** Assassin: So who I want to focus this teamfight? The ADC has shieldbow that's a no, no. The mid laner has crown so that's not happening either, the Soraka has warmog... ... ... I should probably build goredrinker instead. Skirmisher: 200 years of collective design experience baby. Diver: Dive? Tf dude their 'squishies' have 20 spellshields, 40 shield-shields and 80% lifesteal each. Juggernaut: I am melee, I am immobile and I am called overpowered when they somehow let me get my fat ass in range to do the only thing my champion is useful for: beat you up.

What about artillery mages, aka, vel'koz, xerath and ziggs

[@shacolin6546]

@@lucasiano4290 Same as burst. Had put battle in there earlier by accident, edited.

[@fitmotheyap]

Oh.. these are just perfect

[@cherno8336]

yeah then why are mages bot, and performing better than ADC?

[@FABBYFLAME]

adc is the most frustration role to play in soloq, but when it goes good its the most fun imo

[@not1ward671]

Vars: Adc>tank ADC: *getting oneshot by everything that breaths, specially tanks* ok

[@tongers9188]

wondering if youll ever do a video on crowd control and the rise of it. I remember back in season 10 when merc treads was not practically a must buy or taking tenacity in your runes. Nowadays everyone and their mom has cc, or they do so much auto attack damage that you sacrifice being able to move for half the fights to being able to not get shredded by a tryndamere or a yasuo or yone

[@topi2643]

Fighters. Enyone who say something else is wrong and never played fair champions
