Getting tired of these cool ideas on champs not being viable due to damage creep

Where getting autos in with or or augments your abilities, and you start going "oh, if I just hit this, attack twice, hit that, attack twice..." but have you stop yourself cause you realize that if you're not on your ult invul, you're dead before more than two autos.

Can we go back to the time where teamfights lasted longer than 2-4 seconds? I actually want to use my passive more than once.
