My thoughts on the current meta

Alright, so recently in patch 5.16, a truckload of things have happened, but more specifically "Juggernauts". I like how Riot are introducing more aggressive top lane bullys into the meta like Darius and Garen but I feel like there's a flaw in it. Teleport. The "must-have" summoner spell if you're going top lane. Now why is it that I say is flawed? Cause how are you going to bully someone out of lane under turret? Sure maybe if you have range harass you could or maybe you got your jungler to dive him. Fine. But then he can just tp back to lane and a little under a wave depending on the time. What im trying to say is, teleport is way too forgiving. When you run ignite top lane you wanna kill someone, you want action. Sure you kill them in lane but they just tp back. Now you don't have ignite and lost your edge over them (saying it's an equal matchup) until you gain it back but ignite only values in early game so you can set your laner behind. Even if your laner goes like 0/3, he can just tp bot for a double and get a drag. And what can you do about it if you're not Shen? You can only shove the lane. Then once laning is over, you have to group and shove mid BUT WAIT. YOU CAN'T! Your laner is shoving top lane so you have to go back to your lane. Then suddenly a teamfight emerges and your laner tp into the teamfight. tp isn't only a utility spell, hell it does a lot better job of being an aggressive summoner than ignite. Now remember what I said about tp bot and getting a double? Well bot lane, more specifically adc, is probably the most useless role ever. Bot lane is no longer a skill matchup between players, it's about whoever gets the most ganks. If you get a successful gank and kill both of the bot laners, you just got a drag and possibly a turret. It's not fun playing the adc, who if you die 3 times in lane you're basically useless until late game where you might actually do something, when a top laner can go 0/5 and still be relevant in the mid game. Adc are just way to weak. Why go 5/0 then get killed by like the 1/3 Gnar/Irelia/(insert op top laner here) when you can be a 4/1 mage and kill anyone on their team. Even pro's admit it, adc suck shit in the current meta. For example, I quote from imaqtpie; "That feel when you're an adc with 17 kills but it doesn't fuckin matter". And its true! Cause even with all those kills, a viktor or annie can just instaburst you before you even lay a finger on them. It's not fun.

Well, this was my rant about the game, but what do i know. Im just a silver scrub
