300% tryndamere crits with 8 second ult duration Malphite 60% 5 second AS slow with .7 armor scaling Glass cannon Jax with 4k HP 95% AS slow nasus Atma's Olaf CC immunity that gave 60 armor/mr
And now ranged champs win lane and are better late game lmao
Joxcab11 votesPeople are like "but melees have all these advantages like mobility and more health and whatever" except that doesn't matter when range is better than any of those benefits.
Chembaron Yamada3 votesRemember which was the most broken champ ever according to boards? 
She is melee. And believe it or not, other champs having range doesn't really bother her much because of her mobility. If she is able to close the gap out of your AA range in a heartbeat, range isn't that much of an advantage anymore.
Big Lincoln6 votesw8 tryndamere had 300% damage crit???
FalconPawwwwnch9 votesTryndamere used to have like 50% crit damage
On top of IE he'd crit for 300%
Big Lincoln4 votessheeeeit
i wanna go to the game where melees are the late game gods
Golden Tager X4 votesGo to dota then, it's late game is ruled by a triangle that is basically Anti-mage>Medusa>Chaos Knight>Anti-mage.
2 of which are melee. There are also glass cannon melee carries, as well as tanky as fuck melee carries.
Irelia Bot3 votesAnd then you have heros like Faceless void which can destroy his team or the enemy team depending on how his ult is used.
Spoofghoul1 voteshere we have 
for that
Auz the Ripper1 votesCoughBard/J4cough
WoonStruck5 votesHe's not wrong. Idk why people are downvoting.
Penns12 votesProbably because all that stuff is broken af I guess
Big Lincoln18 votesbut ranged champs are broken af too
triple line aoe crits with 
headshot BS damage just off AD alone, but the damage scales w/ crit and the damage can crit itself
make melee gr8 again
Divewing3 votesJust because something was/is broken doesn't mean that that is justification to make everything broken (despite what Riot's Gameplay philosophy is leading me to believe).
Big Lincoln1 voteswhy not? broken is fun
WoonStruck3 votesRiot took broken stuff away from melees and added more broken stuff to ranged.
Argument doesn't really hold up if Riot isn't standing by it.
Really just seems like they have it out for melees.
If this were a decently managed game you'd be entirely right, tho.
Divewing1 votesThat's kinda my point. It was a general philosophy, but Riot seems to know better >_>
Ahristocats5 votestrynd had 8 sec ulti in 2010 son
Irelia Bot1 votesGraggy Brewery Remembers
WoonStruck1 votesDoes he though?
He used to be a walking missile silo, but seems to have forgotten how to do quite a bit of that.
Irelia Bot1 votesOnly his brewery remembers
Gragus does not.
Auz the Ripper1 votesOn the otherhand, You also couldn't active it during CC either
Dasdi964 votesThe issue is that even if melee has so much stats, they can't use it properly if they get kited.
Erockandroll4 votesThe issue is that even if melee has so much stats, they can't use it properly if they get kited.
And they obliterate when they don't get kited. It's a seesaw that Riot is having an awful hard time to balance. (Though when I go Frozen mallet, ghost, and ult, the enemy is really pressed to shake off my Olaf)
Also, Kiting is kinda a weak defense. Simply because I can always force you to retreat. If I better position myself to dive, and you try to kite that, you take a few steps back, which means I can Zone you off important objectives.
RexSaur3 votesIts almost like there were a shitload of broken shit that had all to game nerfed, melee carries were pretty broken (old dodge jax, trynd, even yi, etc).
Also your statemente is just so vague, there were and there still are both lane bullies with weaker late game and strong late game with weak early game on both melees and ranged.
Jinzo Torrance2 votesThat doesn't look like balanced, was that in alpha?
FalconPawwwwnch3 votesLasted way longer than alpha
ModCaptainMårvelous1 votesBUT I WAS IN ALPHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Chaos Milk Tea2 votesMeanwhile, Fiora
AirKingNeo2 votesRanged champions win lane? Since when? Every non-lethality ranged character except 2 suck that go top lane.
NastyMcOutplay10 votesnot really lol
Project omen1 votesWell, 
was always a late game monster.
WoonStruck2 votesReally?
Because his late isn't really exceptional right now. Its slightly above average. Meanwhile his early-mid is still one of the worst in the game.
So many champions have a better late game than Vlad, and the ones that don't often aren't much worse.
Lauchmelder1 votesThere's nothing scarier than an Olaf using Righteous Glory, ghosting and Ulting while running at you, the AP squishy defending your nexus towers while the rest of your team holds off the enemy at your botlane inhib tower.
One outlier isn't proof of them not being weak though.
