Riot Phreak announced some much needed changes for the AD carries. These changes should go live with the patch 13.2, which is scheduled for release on Wednesday, January 25, 2023!
In season 13, Riot made changes to various roles in League of Legends to make them more intuitive, such as adjusting gold and XP for solo lanes and introducing jungle pets for the jungle role. However, the ADC role received very few changes.
ADC has been considered a weak role in recent seasons, with issues such as poor durability and problematic items. Riot released an update to improve the durability of ADCs, but their item issues have yet to be addressed.
One of the issues with ADC items is that they are not enjoyable to use. Additionally, some ADC items, such as Immortal Shieldbow, are being built more often by fighters like Irelia and Yasuo, instead of ADCs. Even the marksman mythic, Kraken Slayer, is being used primarily by champions like Master Yi and Bel'Veth. Due to the weak state of ADCs in the game, Riot Phreak has announced significant changes for the role in patch 13.2.
Upcoming ADC Buffs:
In patch 13.2, thirteen different ADC champions will receive buffs, all of which are related to mana. Like many mages, most ADC champions also struggle with managing their mana in the early game.
