A huge meta shift will not happen.

Sorry for clickbait *Probably will not happen

Why? Well the problems with one are just immense. For instance if a patch came out during preseason that changed the bot lane meta, in game balance would be nearly destroyed for months at the least. I'm not talking some 54% winrate with some 46% winrate, im talking 60% winrate champions with 40% winrate others. If you though season 6 balance was bad, season 7 balance would be beyond atrocious.

Of course thats not taking into consideration that in order to force ADCs out of meta or force them into another lane would be incredibly hard. Being able to consistently apply large amounts of damage at range is just too valuable to reasonably take out of the game without gutting all of the current ADCs, even then other non ADC champions would be forced into the ADC role Ahri Nidalee Kennen ETC.

I'd love a change in the meta, i really would, but I just don't see the ADC situation ever changing.

Marksman update gave us Graves being top pick in multiple lanes. Lots of other huge meta shifts to deal with it.

Juggernaut update gave us a huge meta shift as well. Mage update caused much fewer meta ripples.

He only got picked in other lanes because he absolutely shit on melees and could build heavy AD while still being incredibly tanky.

"huge meta shift" your idea of a huge meta shift is flawed.

At this point, I really don't care that the template that every team runs will be Mid mage, top fighter/tank, jungle, ADC-support bot. I just want there to be meaningful decisions between picking Champion A vs picking Champion B that aren't "Champion A does X and Y, but Champion B does Y+1 and Z, and Z is objectively better than what X does so don't even bother picking Champion A."
