We need to talk about bottom lane.
I've been playing league for a long time. I've casually played roughly 5000 matches and I've been on this account since before season 2.
I can honestly say that I've never had less fun playing bottom lane, whether it be Marksmen or support.
Jungler dominance is a real issue right now, as we have heard from the rioters. Between every game being a 4 man gank-train bottom, it's just not fun to be in that lane anymore.
I'm tired of being autofilled to play bottom lane. Marksmen DO NOT have the tools to deal with the tanky meta right now.
I have no problem with autofill, but it seems like every autofill I get bottom lane. I play through the game and suffer as their top laner teleports on my lane and dives me and my support.(because the only use turrets have is giving the extra first blood gold)
Playing against
(if she makes it through ban phase) is ridiculous. Not only does she out range almost every marksman with her stun, but she's almost certain to hit it if she has max rank w; and once you're stunned, you're dead. (inb4 build

If your team doesn't respond to the bottom lane clown fiesta, your tower will be gone before you make it back. (thanks, ziggs.)
And due to the tower first blood gold, your opposing bottom lane will snowball and leave you in the dust. (unless its another marksmen, then your tank will just outlast them.)
- tl;dr: I don't care if the meta changes. But playing a marksmen now is completely and totally useless to your team unless you somehow get
or the enemy team doesn't have a ridiculous tank. Please help marksmen players. - Of the 134 champions, maybe 25 are played constantly in many of the games I've played for the past month. Some of them are insta-banned(6), leaving you to play with 19 choices and wondering you're going to handle that
that somehow got through ban phase. I believe that soon if things continue, marksmen will cycle their way into the 109 that aren't played, and that will be a sad time for ADC mains.
