Current meta is the final form of long term changes the past 2.5 years

Since around mid season 6 Riot has:

  • Nerfed repeatedly every anti-carry champion (divers, burst mages, assassins), both individually and through systemic changes (assassin update).
  • Buffed the shit out of shields/heals and other defensive items for supports (item 3222 item 3504 item 3109 )
  • Made a keystone to make shields and heals EVEN STRONGER
  • Anti-anti-carry kits all over the place (TahmKench Kindred Xayah etc)
  • Multiple anti-anti-carry items for ADCs (item 3046 item 3153 item 3026 item 3072 )

At this point why are we even surprised? The past years have been a ridiculous arms race between control mages and marksmen VS tanks, with every other class fading into irrelevance or getting pidgeonholed in low income roles (jungle and support)

Nonsense, 90% of things you listed were there in times when marksmen had trouble to take down a Nautshield before Naut took them down.

Literally the only problem is how enchanters got their godmode with item 3301 and item 3504. There is no way for other kinds of supports to shut them down because of their infinite mana and super-quick single item spike, and they are in turn making ADC invincible.
