Basic Attacks vs Skill Shots

Why are ADC's so handicapped with non dodgeable Basic Attacks when mages such as Xerath or Velkoz are pure Skill Shots? Is that really balanced? Not to mention Tristanas broken range with again NON dodge able Basic Attacks...

I know I will trigger a lot of ADC mains but let's be honest, they are by far too easy compared to Skill Shots. And with all the movement speed they get from crit items they can dodge Skill Shots for days...

because if you're a marksmen you get a bypass to riot's "will get reworked because cannot be outplayed" even if no one can outplay your 600 damage aa on low cd that costs no mana and heals you for ~~100 hp.

xin is not a marksmen so he gets reworked and he gets skillshots and massive delays when he's already melee

If you are going to changed ranged auto attacks, you must do it to all champions that are ranged. Then you must make the projectile speed fast, or else it's going to be to easy to dodge the auto attacks. Tristanas "broken" range doesn't move past caitlyn till lvl 16.

You cant be bias and just change it to the marksman. Every ranged champion in general must get that same treatment as them. That is why I would also dislike it. The moment you make this change, who is going to have more mechanical skill? Well guess what it was never the xerath to begin with. The marksman now then would also need to function at auto attacking nothing but air. Then you have to change a key binding to make it so its easier to just auto attack the air.

You cant make it the right click, you need that to move. You would make the key binding most likely to your left click. Would make the most sense.

"make it a skillshot" isn't always the right solution; skillshots aren't the only form of skill expression and it's also fine to have easier champs

and if you're going to compare adcs to mages, you can't just ignore that mages tend to have better utility and aoe, and can clear waves from further, with a few exceptions

Eh, you could make it a smart cast thing where it attacks in the direction of your mouse when you click A or something (not a real fan of duo mouse clicking for basic attacks). People would get used to it fairly quickly.

Because if they have a skill shot it's either high damage or capable of AoE damage. Marksmans have a problem but it isn't their basic attacks.
