Mages complaining that assassins like Zed can lane evenly against them

I don't think riot should design the game around the current meta. They make champions, and we make the meta. Thats part of the game isn't it?

I think its actually related: Assassins kick mages from mid, forcing them to go top, kicking melees from top to the jungle or out of the game.

But then we have Teemo, Quinn and Vayne, who aren't really kicked out of any lane because of assassins.

Meh, I dunno. There's a lot of stuff that still needs fixing.

Quinn is kicked out of all lanes for being bad, except as a gimmick top laner that can bully bruisers who aren't very good at the game.
