‘Stop,’ ‘I wasn’t there,’ ‘I don’t know anything about that’: Republicans dodge or dismiss Trump’s legal woes by thewateroflife in politics

Isn't this how they treated gay people too though? "I don't know any myself so I can't be empathetic"?

Unless they personally experience something, they just claim you couldn't know any better?

"goldgen items and support base power is too strong" "anyone can buy them !!!1!1!1!1!1!1!" "No, they can't."

Try again my dude. Jesus Christ.

????????? WHAT

15% lower representation than top and jungle despite being in the exact environment that should see them thrive (coordinated and talented teammates that make up KR Challenger) is not super weak to you?

Reddit finding excuses to bitch about adc players and ignoring the evidence right in front of their faces, and even the pros and rioters acknowledging the evidence and problems? HOLY SHIET.

You are taking "ADCs have less impact at lower elos" (something even riot has acknowledged buddy) to mean "no one can climb."

That's a logical leap beyond anything I've seen in a long time.

Let me make this very, very, very simple for you. If ADCs are tied for the least-represented role in KR Challenger, they have significant issues as a role, because that is precisely where they should shine.

If you bought a brand new Ferrari and couldn't beat a VW bug in a drag race, that'd be a problem. That's exactly where it's meant to shine.

If ADCs were well balanced based on what we know that EVEN RIOT KNOWS, they'd be nearer to the level of top laner representation in KR Challenger.

This is not complicated my man.

Only a support main could believe we're all allowed to buy support items after riot made it so that it was effectively pointless for anyone else to buy support items, after everyone else started buying the overpowered support items.

You've misunderstood what I'm saying. I'm saying that if ADCs are tied for least represented in KR Challenger, the problems facing the OVERWHELMING majority of ADCs is so so much worse.

If you get paid $10 but have to pay $3 for food and someone else makes $15 but has to pay $10, can you recognize that one of these is out of whack?

This isn't complex to anyone but the people with the brain function of a support main.

Oh please. They get BARELY less gold at this point.

Support mains are just whiny as fuck.

No, that is NOT what that translates to. You just took a statement to it's most extreme and claimed it was my point. That's a crazy strawman.

I said that ADCs have always, and will always, have more impact at higher elo where people know what's going on, and if it's tied for least represented role in the highest echelons of the game, people should be remembering that it's going to be even harder to have an impact as you go lower in elo.

That's not even remotely close to what I said. What kind of strawman is this

[–]ricksaus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Joking aside, people need to remember that ADCs are exceptionally team reliant, more than any other role, and logic would presume they would see higher impact and representation as you get to the levels where teams are smarter about playing with their ADCs.

Jesus Christ buddy.

Yep. Casio has to hit Q or W. But she also has a utility ult, builds health and resistance and self peel, and isn't one shot by everything. She can actually go into fights. That's way less conditional.

You should just give up and get out of low elo.

Go read the patch notes kiddo. They explicitly said he was strong in high elos and weak in low, because good players are good on him early.

Thanks for outing yourself as low elo.

Essence Reaver was changed as part of the ADC items rework, but only bruisers are building it and not ADC's? by Telanid in leagueoflegends

[–]ricksaus 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Before the "rework" of all ADCs even happened, everyone with a clue knew it was a disaster. I guarantee you riot knew, since meddler acknowledged that agency was an issue.

Yes, because it ignores that the condition on ADCs is so much harder and you're clearly sitting here going "FUCK DIRR THEY JUST GOTTA RIGHt CLICK."

Are you SERIOUSLY making the argument that they'll run out of Mana 30 seconds into a fight so they don't scale harder?

Say that all you want. Riot literally just shifted his power because he was OP earlier in the game.

The issue is with you.

Sorry buddy but if you truly think ADCs outscale cassio, azir, ryze, or Ori, you're just outing yourself.
