Kontorted

So I'm an ADC main, specifically a Xayah main. I've been trying to understand why so many on this subreddit seem to find ADC to be a difficult role. I understand having a bad support can definitely mess up your lane and your scaling, though, at least from my experience, I have yet to actually run into terrible supports on a consistent basis. It's usually once or twice every 50/60 games, sometimes not even once. I also get that ADC requires a lot of gold, so naturally there's a weak early/mid game, and unless you've been fed, you will only be useful after 25 minutes. I also understand that since other classes can spike faster, such as mages and assassins, they naturally feel very oppressive f

At this point, I think it's pretty obvious she's likely to be a part of either True Damage or K/DA, given her focus of being an aspiring musician. The question is which?

I personally think True Damage, given she references LA and shows a bunch of shots of real places, and since True Damage does canonically exist in the real world (Giants music video has a shot of Paris), she could be a part of that.

Thoughts?

Aphelios is a weird champ by design. He can do a variety of things with certain comboes, which means his identity is switching fairly often. It makes it somewhat hard to predict, and if he can catch you off guard, it can potentially be destructive. There's nothing wrong with this kind of play, and imo riot has done as much as they can in order to improve visibility of his guns.

With that being said, there are two distinct problems with Aphelios that need correcting:

1. Too much value out of Runaan's Hurricane for both Severum and Infernum (being nerfed).

Runaan's Hurricane gives both Severum and Infernum far too much value. In the case of Infernum, it allows his to hit 4-5 minions and/or

So I've setup my router on the main floor, just below my own bedroom. The signal is really strong for me, hitting really high values and full bars pretty much always.

However, the moment I step out and go to the other side of the house, my signal strength has suddenly dropped nearly ten fold, with my 5GHz connection struggling to even make it across.

I severely doubt it's my phone, as it's a very new phone and unlikely to have outdated or bad hardware. Furthermore, all my devices are suffering from this. Either I have to go downstairs, or I have to remain in my own room to take advantage of the full strength.

What can I do to improve this?

Effectively, her E would have a charge system. She can store some amount of charges (scales per ability rank) that can each be used with a certain duration of delay between usages (scales with CDR). E would no longer cost mana, but cannot be used without any charges.

The only way to obtain a charge is to auto an enemy with her passive. As compensation, perhaps reduce the cooldown of her passive, so she can potentially use it a couple of times in a fight.

At game start, or whenever she backs to her base, she can fully replenish all her charges for her heal.

My logic here is that this would encourage Yuumi to actually jump off at occasions in team fights, which also allows some counter play

Yeah that's effectively the bug. If you mute someone in the champ select, although it'll seem like they were full muted in game too, they can actually still use all the features and you can see it. I presume this isn't intentional

tl;dr Protea was advertised as a time manipulating frame, but apart from her 4, everything else has nothing to do with time, and I wish it weren't the case. Futhermore, her kit doesn't compliment itself, it feels like a lot of the things were just put into her without considering how useful they are to herself and her abilities.

Upon playing the Deadlock Protocol, it was honestly amazing to see Protea in action, from how she saved Parvos in the void by locking him in a time warp, to how she could bring herself back by rewinding time. However, her kit feels really lacking in that theme. Her 4 is a really great ability, though admittedly it gives me a headache to have to see the entire 5

I took a fairly long hiatus from the game, largely due to burnout from grinding a variety of Warframe stuff over the course of 2019. I left sometime around when Kuva Liches were introduced, and have not touched the game since. Coming back to it now, I'm seeing things called Protea, I heard something about Condrix, apparently an event happened, and Nightwave 3 Glassmaker is on. Kinda overwhelmed with all the changes, anyone got a synopsis of the past few months?

I struggle against almost all poke matchups, such as Senna, Soraka, Ezreal, Varus, Kai'Sa, Caitlyn, you get the idea. They can do damage to me from afar, while I cannot do anything about it. It usually leads to me losing lane and being forced to passively farm, which delays my items. What should I be doing against these kinds of matchups?

I really found Taliyah's overall theme really cool, and have wanted to play her, but I seem to suffer immensely when it comes to clearing.

Not only does it feel like I do absolutely no real damage, but Worked Ground seems very counter-intuitive to me, as it reduces your overall DPS massively for the cost of reducing mana, which I don't find worth it at all.

Can anyone provide tips for not only a more healthy clear, but also why Worked Ground works the way it does. Is there some sort of hidden passive I'm unaware of?

Is it just me, or do I feel that it should trigger Hunter Talisman? I mean, it would make sense, as it's damage caused by Volibear onto the monsters, get it doesn't seem to apply the burn at all. Why is that?

I'm going to use my latest game as an example. I was playing Gnar into a Garen, pretty balanced matchup, we both had similar CS, and although I was able to trade blows harder, neither was really winning for an overwhelming majority of the laning phase. All the while, I would hear my team dying to either the mid laner or the jungler, while I remained 0/0/0 for a while.

Please bear in mind I'm not trying to take a moral high ground and claim "oh my team sucks, I'm actually a challenger but stuck cause of my team". I also recognize that I have flaws and am not particularly good at macro.

With that all in mind, what should I look to do as a top laner when I find a lane is struggling? What shou
