Yeah, adc top lane with fleet footwork and overheal is pure bullshit.

Yes, I get wrecked by a Kaisa top with that setup as Jax Couldn't do anything, she just healed off any melee trade attempt while poking me down. I even rushed item 3047 to reduce poke. Nope didn't do anything. Also there was 0 hope for late game because they had a Janna so I will not be allowed to teamfight.

The raw stats gap of adc's has climbed a lot compared to melees over the years. Add in runes giving more power to the offensive part of trading or and to tank sustain and you get the current situation. Also, the movespeed difference isn't enough that a melee can run them down in lane and punish them properly without support. Adc's are usually not played in high elo in toplane for 2 reasons: 1. team comp lacks bruiser/tank frontline it needs (one usually isn't enough) and 2. jungler can often go top, and the adc is a free kill any time they're pushed to the other person's tower.

second reason is 90% the same for any other class of champion not only adc

Anything can be OP if you word it properly, specially if you just lost against it. Literally whatever crap goes, even if it makes no sense. Here, let me give it a try...

Yeah bad example. If only he had some sort of aoe ability that he can walk around while using....that would've made more sense.

That only works when the person is going into excessive and hyperbolized detail about whatever thing he is complaining about. This isn't applicable here.

The OP's complaints are:

  1. ADC hit and run playstyle that he could not "do anything" about
  2. He was irrelevant lategame

This is anecdotal, but it's still true of a lot of champs in top lane. Tanks used to(Sion still does) win lanes off the same laning pattern. The hit-and-run playstyle in top lane is very annoying, and the playstyle originated with ranged top laners (Teemo). When the champ you are playing has an intended weakness of being immobile/struggling to close gaps in exchange for other strengths, there really is nothing you can do in lane against that laning pattern. Which makes sense, even if it doesn't feel right.
