Lack of ADC diversity?

Has anyone else been noticing this? I can only speak for my elo (currently Plat 2), but I really only see the same two ADCs in probably 90% of my games, those being Ezreal and Cait, with the occasional Jhin. I've experimented with banning Cait and Ezreal just to see what happens, and most of the time if I ban one of them, Jhin will be the next default choice. I mean Ez and Cait are essentially feeling like the Lucian from earlier this season. Are these two really that much above their counterparts right now? Seemed like only a few weeks ago I was seeing a fair amount of Jinx and a few Ashe's and MFs.

These champs do have quite a bit in common. Basically poke champs that AFK farm forever and are pretty safe, so maybe it's just a reflection of the meta and not these champs being super strong necessarily. I dunno, I guess I don't really care, just getting bored of laning against the same champs over and over again.

Shift in meta will come with the new items. Armor penetration will change to Lethality.

Banning FotM ADCs is a tried and true strategy.

Unfortunately, you'll end up with Lucian vs Jinx, or something.
