Sorry to go off topic here.. but never have i read a post that seems so much like a foreign language to me. I'm laughing my ass of as i try to figure out what ANY of what you said means. I'm guessing it's LoL lingo.. but .. just.. wow, to someone who knows nothing of the game.. that is just bizarre.The Wykydtron said:Yeah I get that but traditional melee carries like Yi are dead and gone, ranged carries are the only ones played so the new term is not really needed. The current meta, the meta in general for a good while now is a ranged AD/support bot lane. You know what happens if you send a fuckin' Yi bot vs a competent AD? He's done. He's going to be poked down from the start of the game onwards so if he sticks around in farming range he'll die, so we have an underleveled and underfarmed Yi. AKA useless as fuck.Zeterai said:Marksman implies a Ranged AD Carry. It's a way to differentiate between say, Caitlyn and Master Yi - both are AD Carries, but they fill vastly different roles.The Wykydtron said:I guess Riot pulling the term "Marksman" to suddenly replace the term "AD Carry" in League. Seriously out of nowhere, no trace of anyone using it before. Stop. It ain't working.
Plus it's completely cringeworthy.
"I PLAY MARKSMAN!"
*facepalm*
He can still be played top or jungle VERY rarely but the meta is a tanky jungle and a bruiser top, but calling adc in champ select explicitly means bot lane unless you clarify you're "breaking the meta" and going Yi/Khazix bot lane to feed the Caitlyn.
Nobody calls marksman. Ever. Bad term is bad.
edit: Especially the part "feed the Caitlyn" ... that has just got my giggles on and i can't stop lmao
