You know why Melee carries are better design than Ranged carries?

yeah, a lot of them are outdated and thus stat-checking , i know that and get it, but:

they are all different, they all bring a different niche, no melee carry overlap with an other

there is ONE aoe damage melee carry there is ONE poke/siege master melee carry that also counters champions focused on a single CC like counters heavy AA focused champions counters 4 or 5 AD comp as he can remove 80 AD on the entire enemy team counters slow focused champions like who relies on slows to protect themselves counters heavy ranged team as they will be denied by windwall, he can also get on top of them easily with minions

not a single melee carry overlaps with the strength of an other melee carry

meanwhile in the marksmen department why would you pick instead of ? or ? "he can kill tanks with %hp damage" that's like saying you pick Yi over Yasuo because true damage>50% armor pen even if kog has %hp damage, he will kill a tank in as much AA as Twitch as twitch DPS is insane

marksmen do not bring unique utility/defense, they're all about damage and the one who deals more damage ends up dominating the others niche is supposed to wipe an entire team? but might as well pick him as he does it from stealth

of course, i respect some marksmen that bring a unique strength for their team brings an ally back to her making her the best ally of tahm kench/blitz, while also making her great with vanguard supports enables low range champions with her ult like one of the 2 only champions that bring anti-healing debuff 3000 range spells, can be used with divers to take down targets in the backline while sitting in the backline team wide attack speed buff that can be used as a combination with some other champions

"but what about ashe ult, that's unique!"

ask yourself this: when is a ranged stun+tons of slow, or a global vision bad in a game? never, they're all viable in all situations which is why ashe has 100% ban/pick rate in competition since a long time now, unless she's unviable she will be picked in all games as her utility is viable everytime and will prevent other marksmen from being picked unless she's so bad

same thing with mobility when is mobility bad? when are you going to pick a mobile champion over an immobile champion? yep, again no situation where mobility is bad, and this is why was never balanced, someone who plays this game since lucian release knows that lucian was always either outperforming every adcs, or one of the worst pick ever
