Are we doing anything to give melee a distinct chance of being viable against range? In top? In jungle? Anywhere?
"10(+1 per level) damage on basic attacks and spells with a 9 second cooldown, you know, for dat early game poke! Don't want that? We buffed double edge sword to 5% damage so safe champions can abuse it more."
Guess not...
Shadòw2 votesjust give 
extra bonuses vs Ranged Basic Attacks.
This would solve so many Problems (like making the item actually viable, but sitentional and not useless or must-build)
Mira Arya Enthe1 votesThe other thing that sucks is a lot of the ranged champions I like, such as Quinn, purely exist to make top miserable. Once laning is over she becomes a subpar suicide assassin marksman thing. So she only exists to shut down top lane.
Sahn Uzal2 votesI would comment something. But I'm completely speechless. Not the last time I'll be saying that.
Penns1 votesJungle? Is there even such thing as a viable ranged jungler in "soloq"? Also what about melee mid laners 
Mira Arya Enthe1 votesAssassins are a separate issue.
We are talking Darius, Volibear, Shyvana, Garen, Renekton, Fiora, etc.
Penns1 votesWell they all look pretty fine already except for maybe Garen but he is getting buffed apparently. Also "Gain a shield for 10+ 10 per level + 7% of your maximum health for each nearby enemy champion for 4 seconds after hitting an enemy champion with hard CC (30 second cooldown)"
