kramer, bang, deft, pray, imp, literally everyone is playing Morde irelia or yasuo, kramer plays vlad bot lane and Deft also plays Volibear bot lane

I think this only means one thing in my mind: LCK is going to start soon and non adc champions will be played bot then EU and NA will follow the meta

And in my opinion riot should start to make adcs viable in more than one lane to make the meta fair

Adcs have left to spend time in other lanes far more than other lanes have gotten to spend time bot

How are they going to make them viable in other lanes though? The issue is riot nerfed their hp regen hard and they nerfed their armor by 5. They also nerfed fleet footwork. They buffed their base hp and hp per level (idk if they nerfed base ad) but like that's a huge nerf overall which will effect them more in other roles. Adcs on average do not scale very well with levels compared to the rest of the league roster and they scale heavily on items. However, they do not scale very well with only 1 items, and they usually require 2-3 items to spike up. This makes them weaker vs assassins at mid lane and burst mages. It also makes them weaker vs fighters in the jungle and 90% of top laners. If adcs are going to be weaker at bot lane, then they won't be very good in general. I am mainly talking about crit adcs since I main it (rip me) but only a few others like Lucian, vayne, and maybe draven will work in other roles. Also tristana mid I guess too.

You realize the shit storm raising adc MS would cause? It would be a bigger buff than anything mentioned in this post and they’d be disgustingly broken at higher levels of play. You’re talking about inching them towards being miniature kalistas if ADCs are able to kite better

they absolutly don't deal damage in early game now which is the sole reason they're picking morde or yasuo

like do you think the nerf of crit would have made that? hell fucking no they would just have picked lucian or kai'sa or any adc that do not build crit but since the early game of adcs are no longer that good in duo lane you're able to lane as a melee now bot lane

so making adcs safer in early game could be done you can reduce the %bonus ms of zeal items if you want

I seen an article recently that I think was about or talking to Faker where he said SoloQ really doesnt matter anymore because the level of teamplay has evolved to a point where only scrims are meaningful practices. He basically said theyre not taking soloQ seriously once theyre pros so it doesnt really surprise me theyre doing random crap. The Korean Pros are probably the best players in the world and it inst a shock to see them being successful playing what they want where they want against amateurs. Im not saying the changes didnt make them more viable in the bot lane but people in NA soloQ have been playing morde bot for seasons now and Yasuo just has a kit that can work well in the botlane, it just was never Meta.
