You know what I don't understand

My team is questioning me going Jinx top into a Yasuo when our team comp is as follows: Orianna mid. LeeSin jung.Nautilus Singed bot lane.

I know ADCs aren't the greatest right now, but we really needed the tower pushing. Sure they won bot, but the only reason they could push was I would snipe them across map with ults. I landed 5 lethal across map ults that game which forced the enemy to leave tower or die under it. I went 2/4 fighting Yasuo who went 4/2 in lane because jung was afk for almost a solid 5 minutes and started to afk under my tower and sap xp making a hard lane harder. When he came back he made up for it, but it was such an uphill battle until I finished item 1053 item 3046 item 3006. The reason I went Jinx is that she is one of my best ADCs and I have spent time with her in top, mid, and even jungle before.

Supposedly they were supposed to just constantly kill the enemy bot lane, but that never explained how we were supposed to take towers especially inhib towers. So I want to know that logic is it that you believe you can replace ADC with a melee mage/tank. The ADC replacement is supposed to be a ranged mage good at sieging. I ended up taking the most towers in the game, had the most damage to champs, and had the most damage in general.

I mean it was to the point where my team is like you should of just gone an AD top. When almost every Yasuo counter was banned and my best AD tops often don't put out the greatest DPS or have the best siege potential. I mean I have even beaten Ahri mid with Jinx in ranked for a similar reason, but my team didn't comment on it at all.

We won actually. I carried team fights super hard while the enemy team failed the #1 rule of fighting Singed . If they were smart literally we would of gotten stomped.

You can't have a serious team where 4/5 of the entire team are entirely melee (Lee is more or less a mid-range fighter but situationally so as jumping back and forth isn't a reliable "ranged" assault), that's just dumb, because you all will be kited so hard in the later stages of the game unless for some reason Naut is landing every single critical hook which you can bet the chances of it actually happening ideally.

The rest of the team also had no sieging power, ie the means to actually end the game, so picking a sustained damage dealer is cool to begin with. And it's not like picking ranged into melee in a lane is a wrong move due to the innate advantage of range.

It isn't impossible to run a team with mostly melee and still do good, obviously that's a very feasible path if you know what you're doing. But when presented the choices of having 1 more ranged in a team mostly of melee, and having 1 more melee in that team, why not just go with the ranged option to give more dynamics to the team? Considering you're also by your own admission, more comfortable with Jinx too, so why not?

I say don't worry about it.

i pretty sure we're looking at a meta shift anyway. adc's solo lane (i play jhin mid lane almost all the time unless i simply just cant...jhin solo is just so much fun and i dont apologize) might just be the new thing. ap champs in the bot lane are starting to become a thing :/

Your teammates are just retarded for trying to force a team comp without an marksman.

Like seriously marksmen have been meta for like 6 seasons now for a reason.
