Why buffing the Marksmen-class' early game is a horrible idea:

Think about it: Twitch, Vayne, Satan[Teemo], Jhin, Caitlyn, Jinx, Lucian, and Quinn will just turn the game into a hellhole.

The whole point of support is to help ADCs/Marksmen reach that late-game carry potential. Hence why tanks are so helpful for ADCs. As an ADC living in the tank meta, it means the meta is actually healthy because it's not about who deals so much damage. People can peel for me and I can sit back, right-click, and murder!

Haven't you seen a good Twitch or Vayne(Gosu)? Haven't you seen how outrageous Caitlyn traps are(I'm tilted by her placing 4 traps around my tower)? Have you seen the combo Quinn has? Have you seen Lucian's combo execution speed? Have you seen Jinx on steroids? Have you seen Jhin's damage?

Marksmen will not be buffed early game unless there is a huge fuck-up by Riot. Especially since Draven still exists as an early game bully.

And let me warn you, if you buff marksmen: Teemo is coming and there'll be nothing you can do to stop them.

The only issue you should have right now is how bad your team composition is. I like to go tank so I get my ADC and jungler fed/peel for them so they do damage. I hate squishy, snowballing mid-laners and I hate how easy overrated champions like Yasuo are to destroy.

replace the names of all of those adcs with names of toplane tanks and carries.... that gives you the state of the game right now, i'd rather like to be able to consistently do way more damage than a tank or support before 25mins without having to play jhin or varus

IMO the failing Support class is half the reason why ADCs are so weak ATM.

Maybe ADCs don't need a direct buff, but the support meta needs to change.

All of the normal supports who are actually 'supportive' have been pushed out of the meta by the likes of high-damage mages, support's become basically a second mid lane except you don't have to farm.

Yes, the supports need their own upgrade.
