Can the Reds please address melee carries?

It's really sad to me having amazing damage on champions like Fiora and Aatrox but no way to play them viably as carries. If you go bot you get poked out of lane, top you get bullied, mid you get poked out of lane, jungle you don't get enough farm to scale hard until like an hour into the game. And even if you make it through laning phase with 120 cs at 15, you get locked down and exploded as soon as you try to AA somebody. I want melee carries to be viable. They're so fun but so incredibly disappointing when you realize you can't DO anything. They are fine in DotA, so why can't they be in League?

The only melee ADC with a win rate under 50% is Yi, and they can't be too viable. They can't be given too much free space because they kill things even faster then RADCs because of the various steroids they are given. End game, guarantee that they do more damage then a RADCs, in Yi's case especially. They need something sure, but not to the degree you likely think of.

A melee ADC is a powerful tool. It has to be used properly though. You need the right team. You need the right players. You need to plan around it and for it.

MADC is niche like this. Why you ask? Because otherwise you'd see them obliterating everything without boundaries.
