Im so sick of the lack of room for ad based champs because 1 role is always pure ad by default.

which is the marksmen/ad carry.

soon as someone wants to play a champ like yas/zed/riven mid, or trynd/panth/jayce top,, the other solo lane or jungle(of which has minimal viable apc's) has to play an ap carry just to stall the thornmails, omens, hearts and tabis that inevitably come.

this also means one less tank/support that there could have been, because no matter what, the core of every single meta is the ad carry.

I'm not sure how this could change, my best guess is more marksmen that deal mainly magic damage like corki and kogmaw, but even then adc's are usually extremely loyal to their mains... and it's still not quite as effective as a full ap carry.

rito plz.

If they upped tower and inibs life by 10 times but let all abilities and items attack towers then the ADC would stop being a "must have" in team comps

But that's just my opinion

Veigar ults the tower

couple things to note.

There are mix damage ADC's. Notably Corki and Kog'maw. Even Ezreal does a fair amount of Magic damage for an ADC. Any of these are good ADC choices in an AD heavy team. An APC isn't really needed, but an AD heavy team is focused on snowballing because they have the advantage early game.
I'd never take an APC Jungle unless I'm absolutely sure my midlaner won't need it. Cause they would get more mileage from it than me.
Most tanks do a fair amount of Magic damage. The only in meta exception to this is Sion. Just about every other tank does magic damage. More so since cinderhulk is magic damage.

Honestly, the over all team balance is probably fine.

you know

if you notice that the ONLY person on their team that would normally build armor is the support, maybe an all AD team isn't such a bad idea

food for thought

You could balance out team combo with for example Zyra support and Sejuani jungler, and maybe add something like Chogath tank top? Then your mid would be prefectly free to play Talon for example.

The main problem I see is that besides a select few most adcs can't handle the tanks so when you have a full ad comp if you don't have either 1 a mixed damage adc or 2 a tank buster adc your in trouble with an all ad team but if you have a mixed or tank buster it's fine one of my personal fav all ad comps is ezreal mid with either corki or kog bot
