I think AD Carries are becoming obsolete.

Theoretically any champion can be built like an AD carry. Hell I win games as AD carry Malzahar. And AD carry bot lane Jarvan IV. >.>



Dude AD Malzahar is Op I knew that a long ago

He is greatly defeated by AD Ahri or AD Kennen

But I think AD Syndra is the new thing

Yi is no ad-carry, he is an AP-Assasin which has a clunky Q.

You also don't have any AD scaling skills, any AD steroid, and AS steroid, ect.

I wouldn't classify any melee champion as a potential AD carry (other than Nid/Jayce who have both types of ranges). An AD carry does a lot more than just dish out physical damage, they can kite, poke and shred tanks from a distance. Melee champions simply don't have that option, so they usually become peelers or assassins if they're build offensively.
Thanks to Janitsu for the sig!

Dunno who came up with "AD carry = ranged tank destroyer" ...?

Ad carry simple means an AD champ that actually carries the game, ranged or melee doesn't matter since "carrying" means more than doing a specific action.

To be honest, ADCs should be the core of every team. Yes, they will die if they get focused in a team fight and don't have anyone to defend them; they are not built to survive a ton of damage, rather kill everyone else before they can do a ton of damage.
If your team cannot defend your ADC, you should try to either A) get your team to position itself better in team fights, B) Make it difficult for anyone who tries to run through the brunt of your team to get to the carry, and C) CC the hell out of anyone getting close to your ADC until your ADC can kill them.

IF anything is getting obselete, i'd say that it would be full-on tanks - most bruisers are built to have damage + survivability rather than just survivability.
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

AD carry = Ranged AD carry.

You don't go Yi+Support bottom, it doesn't work.
