I'm allowed to be OP because I'm "melee"

We are allowed to be broken as fuck because we are "melee". We don't have range. We need compensation because we don't have range.
Bull fucking shit. Every ability you have is fucking RANGED. You are OP because Riot employees are brainless. That has nothing to do with you being melee.
Do you want to see a real melee? Go play Garen. That's real melee. If you can press a button and jump on a champion across the screen, then you are fucking RANGED.
on the other hand is a juggernaut, he doesn't have any gap closer, gets easily kited, but if he manages to reach you, you can hardly escape and get destroyde.
