State of Botlane from the perspective of a high elo ADC Morde main

So i kept playing ADC morde to climb and it's working as i'm slowly getting back to master and climbing the mordekaiser ranking accross the world But during all of this, i got to admire the meta of the botlane right now and i have to say it's really funny
really funny because when you're below something like d2 or d1 you can't see this meta, we should call this meta the "meta of statchecking botlane"
let's start by saying this
most broken piece of shit that ever existed in this patch. Kog is literally the worst thing i witnessed during those days
Kog when played in high elo is so different from low elo just because of the way people build him
Kog, is just a 710 range juggernaut, but if you say this people will just straight up downvote you because they do not witness what you witness in high elo. They do not know what is it to fight a champion with 3k hp, a bunch of armor/mr while still shreding everyone without a single penetration item from 710 range in AOE.

see in this game, they respect banned my morde and i had to pick draven while they had kog. In lane it's pretty much easy because Draven has a retarded amount of damage combined to leona.
Once he had 2 items? couldn't 1v1 him anymore, he could shred me in nearly 2 sec JUST with rightclicks as i had to move around to pick axes, while being slowed by his E and while he he could hit from 710 range and dodge my ult with his stormraider/warlord bonus MS
Once he had
?
it was over
he stood from 710 range with ardent bought by lee, and his own items, he draintanked with bork and maw lifesteal, draintanked twice harder with guinsoo and x3 harder as he had runnan
he didn't need to move anymore, and he had lee and thresh and shen to protect him
he was just using 2 buttons: rightclicks and casually pressing the W button
Do you know what kind of gameplay is this? exactly, A JUGGERNAUT. only moving forward, sustaining everything and not dying with 3k hp he's a juggernaut with also bonus ms from keystone, gets to shred anyone in 2 sec unlike darius, and from 710 range in AOE while having frozen mallet permaslow
worst thing? every high elo kog player know this build https://youtu.be/mfSYfElHxr0?t=296
everyone builds that, high elo players know that he's busted he's literally pick/ban in all my ranked games there are no mechanics involved, you cannot die you get to kill anyone in your range, your brain can literally be turned off, and you can only lose if enemy tryndamere was splitpushing Why pick Darius when kog can do your things from 710 range? why pick urgot when kog exists?
pick/ban in every games, disgusting, literally disgusting. Because he is in total contradiction with what riot did to assassins
All long duration stealthed champion got counterplay except twitch for some reasons
Eve ult range got reduced to 600 while her passive radius is 750 to give you time to see her and react
Rengar can now be seen across the map
Twitch? his stealth radius for some reasons (?????????) is 400 while his ult range is 800, and while his AA range is 550
he gets to completly 100-30 your entire team under a second and by the time you reacted it's too late, the fight is going to be lost
all of this with no mechanics, just rightclicks, you do not need to know anything while playing twitch
all you need is to know
how
to
fcking
last hit
once you know that, you buy
and it's fine, you "reached late game" at 20 min and now proced to teamwipe
also pick/ban, same thing than above , except your range is 660 which is lower but you get to have 1000 units knockback, kha'zix E on a marksmen that can also assassinate people with crit items
why pick kha when you can get a 660 range kha that also happens to DPS?
really makes you think
i would like to say that while draven is obnoxious and needs nerfs, AT LEAST he gets to:
-have counterplay, his ult is so telegraphed, the entire character is telegraphed due to axes that say "hey i'm going to be here"
-be hard to play, YES it is not easy to catch axes while you need to pay attention to the teamfight, and spells to dodge, and if you miss ONE axe in teamfight it's over, your W won't be refreshed and your AA will lose a big chunk of damage
-FALL OF IN LATE GAME
because draven isn't twitch, that has a "bad early game" (starts the game with 49% win rate LUUUUUUUUUL) spikes at 2 items while having his power constantly increasing without counterplay due to rightclickign counterplay to twitch and kog? win the game before 20 min, you didn't? you're going to bleed black blood ****ers
i cannot finish this thread without listing this shit design that is ardent
"hey, we're going to make marksmen's Autoattack even stronger! we're going to make them even more statchecking!"
"okay sir... how do you want to do that? maybe through something that is mechanically intense?"
"Nah, just make it so point and click shields and heals apply a cancerous buff that will make marksmen a tumor"
they are already HEALED AND SHIELDED they do not need to have their AA statchecking harder
the game is fun i get to be ahead against kog, my support is leona, his lee sin bought ardent and now i'm going to get statchecked harder on top of lee shield? Taric who's supposed to build armor is buying ardent in high elo which is his highest popularity and win rate build Taric and Janna with ardent are just breaking marksmen even harder
This meta is just the meta of statchecking, the meta of rightclicks from 700 range, good luck playing Darius against that guys, you will thank me later when i tell you that playing against Vayne is more enjoyable than this Because at least if i'm Darius, i can be in her range, hook her, and then my viktor can 100-0 her kog? stay away from the fight with a slowfield in front of him, and then building hp and resistance while abusing onhit effects and Q armor/mr shred
but we got outplayed right? right
700 range autos
. Let's just get Ez out of the way, because he's more or less unplayable in high elo currently. Lucian is completely snowball reliant, as come late game you won't do anything compared to a Kog'Maw. He's sitting at a 47% winrate. In other words, not worth playing. Especially when botlane is as snowball resistant as it is. And Jhin is decent at best, but doesn't get to benefit as much off of this fun item
against their
.
ADC as well, but I've just about come to peace with the fact that I probably won't get to play him anymore.
, maybe 15 but he got outplayed sadly xd
) and gives defence buffs, but there's also
that upgrates them even more and then you get to
and
(at least the shield on this was actually pretty easy to pop if you have good damage). Nowadays if you're a shield/enchanting support, it doesn't matter if you're behind or not, you can build
