Marksmen really deserve more disengage, even if it's at the cost of their damage.

Because at this point only 3 out of the 19 marksmen see any play and they're the only ones with tools to get and/or keep people off of them.

Edit: sorry if 'disengage' seemed like a buzzword. Ashe is the #1 marksman I was talking about and while she doesn't have disengage per se she can play around her W/E and her team to keep from getting caught by anyone save the likes of Rengar. The three I were referring to were her, Kai'Sa who is #1 in P/B rate and Xayah who is no longer a solo queue favorite but is still popular in high elo and the LCS/Worlds and has incredible disengage compared to most marksmen while still having a strong laning phase and lategame dps.

Maybe some marksmen don't need more/better disengage but could simply use some more basic functionality like more than 325 MS and better than enchanter-tier HP/AR pools at the cost of some of their early/late dps; regardless, all the marksmen that are nigh-unpickable in the current meta could definitely use some more survivability and/or disengage in general.

Remember when enchanter Supports could more easily exist in the lane and provide this for the adc?

There was a time when there was a nice healthy combat triangle in the Support role...

Tank > Enchanter Enchanter > Mage Mage > Tank

Now days, it looks more like....

Mage > Enchanter Mage > Tank Mage > Mage

Ashe and Jinx are completely immobile as far as "disengage" goes and they're both actually in the top 5 most played marksmen up to plat.

Sure, long as it doesnt make it impossible to get on them.

Because that´s what we need, more mobility.

ADC is the most toxic play style though. Making them strong makes everyone else suffer. You can't have everything in the game. You must give up something.

Range, DPS, burst, CC, Mobility, Tankiness.

The price of power is being squishy, but they will have 0 counter-play if they get more mobility.
