now WE are the marksmen

Nah it's not fair when melees kill ranged. But it's fair when ranged kill melees.

I mean, you're not exactly wrong. But is the answer really to allow us to abuse marksmen items?

Big LincolnFeb 8, 20171 votes

Yes

if everyone is ranged, then no one is

So now Caitlyn can RFC Headshot you from 1900 range?

"minimum" so if I'm melee, I now get one ranged attack...

doesn't change the AA range for ranged champs because it makes all of them go over 600 range already

but melee champions can become marksmen now

we just need to make more things melee only, and then buff the items back up...

I care because I'm a failure who can't do anything right. I'm already on a hilariously bad losing streak in this game, I don't need to entertain the possibility that I'm brain-damaged on top of that.

In general, ranged should usually have the advantage over melee (besides sometimes assassins). However, the game is getting near a point where almost any melee can overpower any ranged champion because of their kit's included mobility. Tristana is the only marksmen with more than 1 gap increasing/decreasing ability (W and R) where all others have at most 1 but more often none and if they do have them, they generally have long CDT which can never be spammed unless you get resets.

So I kinda understand why ranged champions can get to "abuse" melee items. It is because those items tend to offer increased mobility while not granting a whole lot of defensive stats besides some health or some MR and maybe a shield. But, there is no item which gives both Armor and AD. Yet there is a defensive (melee focused) item item 3143 which counters marksmen in many ways (it gives both armor and health for increased defensiveness (+60 armor / +500 health), applies a passive attack speed reduction from being hit (-15% for 1 second), crit damage reduction (-10% crit damage), and movement speed reduction (-35% for 4 seconds) on active).
