AD Carries may back to the Meta with upcoming patch 8.15

Riot is planning to help’s AD Carries for back to the Meta with upcoming patch 8.15, according to the latest PBE update.

AD Carries was suffering since patch 8.11, gutting marksman base stats, reworking key crit items, and raising the cost on Zeal items and the Infinity Edge. The next patch might be what all the old ADC and marksman mains have been waiting for, though. Crit items costs are dropping hard, and at the risk of sounding like a bad infomercial, they’ll definitely be easier to buy in Patch 8.15 if the latest set of PBE changes make it through testing.

Infinity Edge

The big ticket item is Infinity Edge, which is dropping by 400 gold from 3,600 to 3,200 at the expense of 10 AD and five percent crit chance. Ten AD and five percent crit are significant, sure, but opening the item up to much earlier purchases by this much is worth it for marksmen.

Zeal Items

Next on the list are the Zeal items, including the Phantom Dancer, Rapid Firecannon, Runaan’s Hurricane, and Statikk Shiv. The total cost on all of them is dropping from 2,900 gold to 2,700, and they’re losing five percent crit chance as well. Again, though, five percent crit is worth the 200 gold the items is losing.

These changes should arrive with upcoming Patch 8.15 in two weeks.
