As someone who plays AD/Supp only, I have dropped from a 54% winrate to 32% since 8.23 and the new Dark Harvest was implemented. I have spent most of my time continually being 1 shot by "assassin everything" since that is what the rune fundamentally does
Riot just took away your overly efficient item Crutch.

Adapt and overcome my friend.
Imagine spamming boards for dropping winrate for 1 patch after your main role dominating solo Q for at least 2 years, while other people main shit that has been garbage for years

I do enjoy that you posted from a "alt account" so you could hide the if this is true or not.
No troll, but have you consider not being bad? i mean pretty much every team has an ADC so that means ADCs have a 68% win rate against you, it would suggest that your role is not the problem but you're.
But, that means that adcs against you have a 68% win rate despite playing in the same meta (excluding non adc bot laners, as they are not supremely prevalent afaik). That seems like a bad meta adaption. (note, I agree that Dh is overtuned and that adc is in a bad spot, but I disagree with your analysis/method)
Item-scaling marksmen have very little agency in the current meta unfortunately. I think you're right that dark harvest has had somewhat of an impact on that, but I think that other factors, such as a lack of enchanter supports being played and delayed power-spikes in marksmen itemization also contribute. I would recommend playing mages in the bot-lane for the time being, since they synergize pretty well with all-in supports. For those who disagree and think that marksmen have sufficient agency in the current meta but don't usually play in the bot-lane role, I would highly recommend playing 10 - 15 games as a crit-based, item-scaling marksman to at least be able to make an informed opinion.
Play mages, ziggs, karthus, vlad, hell - even zoe will work if your support can CC for 1 second for you to bubble the enemy.
This was my experience with the latest patch whenever i try to play normal adc.
Last game I played I was Vayne and there was a Kayne jungle. He got fucking huge after a few minutes by camping top then eating my support. Mid game I was getting chunked by one combo. Around 20 minutes he was 20+ kills and his DH build means his W would knock me down to 40% if I ate it then he'd just ult me. Or he'd just q in and ult me and 100-0 me. Fun game Riot, good to know no matter how good my mechanics are I can't outplay something that blows me up. Shit even Viktor exploded me
After a short return to playing ADC, this patch has reminded how me volatile the role is and I'm going back to mid lane.
Feels like I've been going back and forth forever now. It's a shame because AD is my favorite role but I can only take getting oneshot by a hecarim moving at 5x my latency from 2 screens away because I dared to walk more than 20 units away from my tower at 5 minutes -- and it wouldn't matter anyway because he'd solo towerdive and oneshot me after oneshotting my midlaner 5 times.
The second I hear the predator keystone I know I'm already dead lol. That shit is dumber than DH imo.
