Carries are toxic design, they've been "viable" ever since their inception. They will persist, unfortunately.

I don't think anyone said that. Nice straw man.

There is no item that counters AP the way that Randuins and Wardens Mail counter ADC is what Doublelift said.

Those items are really strong while the ADC items were all nerfed across the board.

I'm honestly surprised that no teams have run bruiser/assassin bottom or double bruiser bottom yet.

Runic Bulwark says "**** you" to the AoE damage most mages rely on to be relevant in team fights.

Toxic...?

"Viable" since their inception?

The former indicates the op doesn't know what "toxic" means and the latter makes no sense. How would an entire role ever be "unviable?"

Aside from that, AD carries are, by definition, the hardest scaling class in most MOBAs. By design, they have more DEEPS than anyone else lategame. That's the sole purpose of a carry.

Supports will become the new carries. AD supports will be the new meta.

ADC is by far the most anti-fun thing in this game IMO. If your carry dies, you lose. Nothing is significant late game except for how good your ADC is at not dying and right clicking compared to the other team's ADC. Everyone else is just a meatshield/CC for the AD..

A 0 cs support existing flows naturally from the fact that it's better to concentrate gold rather than spread it out across the team.

If we replace AD carry with yet another bruiser, because League of Gap Closers kills carries, there will still be a 0 cs support somewhere.
