So today I got this idea stuck in my head: there's not enogh ranged AD carries in LoL even tho is a fundamental role.
Ashe
Caitlyn
Corki
Ezreal
Miss Fortune
Kog'Maw
Sivir
Teemo
Tristana
Twitch
Twisted Fate
Urgot
Vayne

13 AD ranged carries out of 83 current champions, and let's admit it, only 4 or 5 of these are actually viable in ranked. Isn't it time for riot to stop releasing ******* casters and tanky DPSers and release more ranged AD carries? or at least make the old ones viable?

For all you questions about jungling

I agree with you, we need more AD Ranged Carries. Ranged is pretty much my role when I play with a team and If even 1 gets banned and someone else picks the other semi decent viable one it screws up everything.

Since you count everything that CAN be played AD/ranged...
Why not Kayle? She´s both melee/ranged Ad/Ap hybrid.

Also, seeing the amount of roles champs can fill:
Ad ranged dd, Ad/Ap melee dd, Ad/Ap tank, Ap caster dd, Support.
12-13 out of 83 is pretty decent.


Otherwise this thread becomes another "Make a wish!"

If thats the case: MORE MANLY (HAIRY) MELEES!!!

The reason is because they don't make as much money off of Ranged carries as the other roles.

Out of 15 million registered users, not most of those are competitive ;/

Actually, I count 8 that are viable in ranked play.

8 out or 80~ is about 10%. A bit low, but hardly a shortage.

There only needs to be 1 AD carry per team; 1 out of 5. With 8 to choose from, and bans being monopolized by tanks and junglers, there's hardly an issue if you're actually skilled enough to handle ranked play.



Ashe, Caitlyn, Corki, Ezreal, Kog'Maw, Tristana, Urgot, Vayne

These champions are all still viable if you know how to play them.
If you don't - Well, START PRACTICING.



The real reason for a thread like this is because "There's too many new Tanky DPS" champions.
Not nearly enough of everything else being release. But that doesn't mean we have a shortage.

Riot had a plan to release a steady flow of different archetypes; like: Carry, Caster, Tank, Tanky DPS, Assassin, Carry, Caster...
But real life messed with a lot of designs and made it blend more.



edit: If anything, we have a severe lack of tanks. A lot of Tanky DPS should be re-designed as tanks.

Amumu, Alistar, Rammus, Maokai, Shen, Cho'Gath, Taric, Galio
These are the only ones designed to be tanks. That's only eight in total, and Taric never plays as the main tank.
