Can riot admit that the ADC and mages are broken and that the game in a terrible balance state?

Best top laners: Graves, Quinn, Lulu, Lissandra. Ryze and now lucian is being played too. Poppy, Tahm and Mundo had a good run, they got / getting fucked by the nerf bat, because a melee in champion in top lane has clearly no place.

Best junglers: Kindred, elise and Graves, because the old meta of jungle having no ADCs in it was bad for diversity of champions, so forcing ADCs into a role they never did was a great balance move by riot.

Mid lane: Corki, Ryze, Lissandra, Lulu, Hey, that's top lane pool with a corki in it, so much diversity.

Bot lane: ADCs + the same 5 supports every game.

Good balance team riot.

Can people stop calling graves and quinn adc? Theyre more like a ranged bruiser that riot is refusing to nerf

item 3142 / item 3053 : If you want to nerf the top lane ADCs, you should probably have a look at these two first.

For Sterak's, I am actually for increasing the shield trigger value and shield amount to something 2300-2500 at level 18. That would make it a good item on champions that have HP from another source, but less useful for the squishies who would like to use it to become highly burst-resistant.

ADC and mages

You named like 20 champions, but I can only see two mages.

While top lane is no longer for what it stands for (bulky bruisers), I don't see the issue with the jungle. Kindred is pretty major right now, but you either see a kindred get fed, or feed the entire game.. she's risk/reward and sometimes even her minigame don't work in her favor as marks can spawn on the opposite side of the map, getting you killed meeting the enemy jungler there.

Elise has always been in the jg, Idk what the issue here is... nothing bothers an elise more than lanes that never overextend, delaying her early-mid game spike, and then falling off late game where the most power is needed for tanks with better lategame.

Graves... yeah there is an issue here. Both jg and top lane... graves is just anti everything and does what he wants.

Mid lane looks fine tbh, seriously I'd rather see diversity in mid than the same zed 3 games in a row, with a yasuo showing up inbetween. You occasionally get mages (fizz, which is cancer imo) and leblanc but otherwise mid is one of the most overcentralized lanes.. top being centralizing in the priority bans. When I see off meta things like mid corki, all I can think about is an interesting game without seeing the same thing as normal.
