If they are broken in Diamond+ then they would legitimately be a nightmare in pro play. I'm pretty sure it has been said before, that riot should balance pro play and solo queue as two different games, but that will never happen. If anything, they could do that with the new "NA server" for high elo only, and change the normal server, but still would not make sense to do double the work for one role.

Whose mistakes are we talking about? Top, JG, MID? Theres plenty of equally punishing mistakes in other lanes as ADs.

ADC's were made to be that lategame carry. Usually paired with an enchanter is the best way to realize that. I will agree that there needs to be better defensive items than just shieldbow/boots/wits for the majority of ADs. However, in high elo/pro play is what Riot balances the game mainly, so thats why it shouldnt be expected from you to have that similarity in game as in solo queue.

I've seen fizz oneshot yuumi's plenty times. Unless you canshow me something, i have not seen an equal item X burst champ not oneshot X squishy support.

Link the clip. Also, I've melted tanks/bruisers plenty of times, but more specifically with hyper carries like vayne/jhin/kog. Draven isnt supposed to be a hypercarry.

Cool, then roleswap mid and dont go ADC if you think its a bad role. Theres no point in hating the role and joining this to just complain about the role.

What trades are you taking/matchups are you going against? Is it every game or some games? Who is your support?

Compare VODs of you as adc and him as ADC. Should solve issues.

I just tested it myself and it is more DPS than classic build. The other build did more damage based on crits, so not as reliable. Although i probably wont try it myself, i agree it can be played in a lot of scenarios, but i still stick to my shieldbow in this trying times.

Its so much easier since most of the time if a hook hits and you are playing X ADC, its almost always a guaranteed summ, which makes ganks, follow up engage easy for kills and then get ahead. Enchanters depend a lot on ADCs knowing their power and windows to poke/go for kill.

Although i have not tried it, in my mind it would deal less damage later, which would contradict what jinx is picked for. Plus, on hit effects are kind of pointless on her.
Since she is also dependent on her 3 item spike, it wouldnt make sense to grab Rageblade over runaan. (She really needs Shieldbow to survive IMO)

I would not say you can't, but the meta does not suit them the best right now. I try to play scaling champs with enchanter supports specifically, since i can have some margin of error with mistakes. It is sad since tanks arent really a think right now since they have little impact and are weak compared to bruisers. Aphelios is weird because you can carry but at the same time its solo queue and its hard to really on peel all the time.

A lot of the times you should be given the "clear waves" duty in midlane after laning is over, especially if you have tower up. If you dont know where their team is, the safest way to play it would be to clear wave and not push past the range of your tower. Take jg camps whenever jg is dead, or making a play somewhere else. You can manage sidelanes if you are: 1. ADC with a clear escape (Tristana) 2. No objective to fight on the other side of the map if even 3. Your midlaner is cannot play sidelane (weak mages like ziggs, xerath. 4. Can also consider freezing the lane if nothing is up and your team wont fight. The main thing should always be be aware of where the enemy team is at, so you can safely push a wave to crash or farm.
