Rekkles' opinion on why he thinks the marksman role is in a bad spot right now

I think the marksman role right now is really bad, actually. But that's not necessarily because of the marksmen themselves, it's just the way the other roles kind of taken place is, punishing the AD role in a way.

So, for example, in the top lane there's this Colossus tanks that just dominate the game for the first 30 minutes, together with the mid/jungler. So the AD role is kinda put in a place where it's not really putting too much impact on how the game turns out, and many times it's 50/50 if you get a good team or not, specially in solo queue. And it takes way too long time, I think, to ramp up and actually be part of the game.Because now, you need two Zeal items, an IE and a Last Whisper, and on top of that, probably a QSS or some sort of survival item before you can actually get into the fights and do something that means a change of the game flow.

And, for me, if the state of AD carries is to need six items,then I think it's not okay. But at the same time, I don't think it should be back to the Youmuu's powerspike either, because that was one of the metas where the AD carries were just dominating the whole patch, so it should be some sort of middle ground. But I guess that's really hard to find as well and as a pro player myself i just try to make the best out of every situation, so I don't try to put too much effort on complaining or being sad about my role going the way it is. It's just a matter of making the best out of it, trying to contribute as much as possible.
