When ADC's are played in jungle

To the point that an ADC can have #3 pick rate in jungle.

No one bats an eye

If this was reversed and a non-adc were to go into bot lane with #3 pick rate, people would lose their mind!

Because most ADCs that are jungling right aren't as good as conventional picks.

But the ones that are being played in jungle are doing relatively good... Definitely not the top junglers, but in top 5-10

First and only ADC to appear is Ezreal at #30 at a 49.1% win rate.

Edit: Graves #38 as well.

ADCs have been jungling for a long time.

If this was reversed and a non-adc were to go into bot lane with #3 pick rate, people would lose their mind!

false equivalency. For you to jungle as an ADC you need to be able to kite, sustain, tank, or DPS camps effectively enough to clear well and have some semblance of gank power. For you to bot lane as a melee you need to overcome the huge zoning disadvantage and be able to survive fighting at melee range while still outputting ADC like DPS.

The odds are not stacked against a ranged jungler. The odds are stacked against a bot lane melee.

Not just that. A melee bot laner would also need to cope with the XP disadvantage and its impact on his tankiness.
