Complaints About Ranged(?)

Are silly, honestly. Is it just me, or is everyone jumping on the newest "rito nerf" bandwagon? There's plenty of melee champs that are able to completely obliterate a ranged champ once they get in range; most of these also have gap closers. Complaining about ranged having an advantage makes no sense. Of course they're gonna have an advantage. They're ranged. Do you guys not understand how game mechanics work? Can someone please explain to me why the sudden influx of complaints about ranged? Do you want every champ to be a fighter? I don't get it. If you have trouble playing melee against ranged, pick a melee champ with gap closers and cc. Champs like Wukong or Fiora or even Master yi and Udyr, who can pretty much latch onto someone once they get to them if they want to.

Overall, seems like a non-issue to me. Downvotes ahoy, ye salty sailors.

Except when you look at worlds it's 7-9 ranged champions per game

And lol @ Udyr and Yi

Two of the shittiest champs in the game

Ive mained top lane for three seasons and I've slowly watched it go from melee vs melee to all these ranged cancer picks coming in and just ruin the lane. It is not fun, in the slightest to try and play a melee champ and get chunked every time you want to last hit.

Then later in the game, it feels completely useless being a melee glass canon because you can't get close enough to do anything without being killed by the 600+ range mage/adc who has 3 goons peeling for him and doing more damage than you even if you were close.

There are ways to deal with ranged champions, but most players don't know how to and that's why they complain about it.

It's just something you have to learn to play against if you wanna get better.

They aren't saying ranged are inherently more powerful than melee during any point in the game.

They're saying that ranged champions are often such large lane bullies to melee that melees can't scale unless they're over-tuned, have a jungler camping for them, or can support/jungle. Of course there are a few exceptions, but you shouldn't be forced to pick a specific champion or have your jungler camp in order to reasonably participate in the game just because you're against a ranged champion.

Melees don't have a reliable way to scale into the game because of this, considering most ranged champions outscale while also bullying them early game.

I dont think Ranged Champions are the problem, i think that Tanks dont have the tools or stats to combat a gangbang of poke at any level of the game. It would be easier to change that than nerf all ranged champions.
