Riot Fix ADC Please

As a player who enjoys the idea of ADC very much I am finding it hard to find my place in the current meta and haven't been able to for the entirety of season 6 and now season 7. Firstly you had the mage update, which was a royal pain to verse as any ADC, then you brought us the assassin meta in which I would have no time to counter-play because my screen would already be grey before hand. The only current viable ADC's are vayne and twitch, but even they struggle against most assassins and every game I have the same repeat of getting ganked even with wards so then I die, then this places my enemy lane opponents ahead to the point were I now have no longer any control. Then they win with this lead, every game. And so Riot could I please ask you to just fix ADC's and the overall balance of the game

As a player who mains mid lane and ADC, I agree that ADC's require a form of assistance against assassins and mages due to there being no real item to counter these champions other than a GA which in most cases just allows time for spells to come off cooldown meaning even with this item the ADC is likely to die anyway. Items such as qss don't have enough impact when you have burst which most mages have to a large enough degree that they can delete an ADC. Finally you may argue it means that you need to buy defensive items such as a banshes veil, however this is easily proced and it takes far too long to recharge. As a result I hope that you can provide some quality of life changes for ADC's in order to give them more of a chance throughout the game as I agree that the only real viable ADC's at low elo are twitch and vayne due to their assassin like playstyle. I would like to see improvements for them even just through items as I am being put off playing ADC as my secondary massively ever since the start of season 6 due to these problems.

I agree completely and it has made me reconsider uninstalling this game. I have put massive practice time into the ADC role, and now that it feels every other champion on the enemy team can delete me with no problem, and there is no form of counter play. Non-ADC bot lanes are becoming the new meta, using mages as a replacement to ADC's. This seems to work much better; I've tried TF and Annie botlane and won lanes easily, and I've played against a ziggs botlane and they won very hard against me. I wish that an ADC update could be taken into consideration because, as an ADC main, I find it very hard to carry a game when there are tons of unfed and under-leveled champions that can one shot me even if I am very fed. There is no real counter play to being one shot, and the ADC role is almost always targeted first. I really hope there will be a fix to this problem in season 7.
