Unpopular Opinion: ADC's used to be an expression of skill

But that era has long since passed. With the runes available to them, ADC's start off much more powerful then they were and therefore require less skill. I remember that ADC's would have to farm for upwards of five to ten minutes to be remotely effective in combat. Nowadays, they are instantly effective from level one which goes against their class design which is slow, scaling power and playing for the late game (but the late game hardly every exists these days.)

It is true that they are a LOT squishier because of power creep but everything in the game has become so fast that there is no environment for ADC's to go back to what they originally were. Its sad.
