Even after all this time, ADCs still define the meta

Even after all the "adc in 2k17 lul" meme Even after all the "adcs are fucking trash" threads Even after all the "just go ziggs bot, normal adcs are shit now"

What are the most popular bans?

Fizz - destroys ADC. Must be banned. Little bugger is not an issue against heavy CC and tank comps. But he touches adcs?? how you dare Yasuo - "cancer" "soon to be permabanned" - mediocre champion when not fed. the problem? can gain accessto backline adcs and windwall destroys adc. Gotta be banned and complained. LeeSin - Pressures adc in lane enough to make them lose lane. Can gain acess to backlne adcs and kill them. Permabanned and complained. Janna Lulu - Not even remotely close to being the best supports giving kill pressure, map presence or utility. But the ones best at defending a single target and forbidding everyone from killing them - hail the adc. Gotta permaban lulu and always pick janna. Zed - R is denied by one mage item. Ult a tank and get raped. Try to duel a fighter and get dumpstered. But can murder adcs --> gotta nerf this shit. correct?

And the list goes on and on and on.

How even, after 7 seasons, so many years, adc are still the one very thing dictating the game?

it has always been an ADC meta.. and unless they completely change the game and the concept of how to win it will always be an ADC meta

That's a lot of mental gymnastics.

Fizz is banned because of his on-hit bruiser build that has almost no counter top lane. Lee Sin is banned because he's an insanely mobile generalist that completely controls the early game in every lane when games are decided so early that they had to add a 15-min surrender option. That's long before an ADC even becomes a problem unless they got ridiculously fed.

sorry but Lee does more than just affect the bot lane, he affects every single lane equally. You do know that the backline also consists of mages right? it's not just the ADC there are mages who serve as a backline. Who the heck permabans lulu and always pick Janna? sorry but what? Zed was an issue because he could dominate EVERY SINGLE mid lane matchup not because of ADCs but because of every single mage he would just destroy with little effort. Yasuo does way more than to affect ADCs, he can with his windwall block off entire ults and destroy several other ranged champions that are not ADCs.

I smell a huge bias here
