AD is problem
The whole "ADC OP" is but a symptom of a larger problem. I've watched the patterns of forums and balance cycles, I've seen the seemingly reoccurring problem champions and I've noticed one thing, Nearly all of them are AD-based. Examples included:
. While not all of these issue may not be recent with these champions they all have been a problem at some point. The fact that most of the champion balance problems seem to be AD-based cannot be a coincidence.
As a result of my observations, I feel AD itself needs to be overhauled in general as various mechanics like Crit, attack speed, and the fact AD in general has no significant resource cost, also the fact AD items remain useable by all AD champions (examples like
) , have proven time and again to be an ongoing issue.

tweaking 1 champion here in there is a band-aid solution at best, if and when the current issues with the meta are fixed at all, it will only take is a new item or champion to trigger another cycle of broken mechanics gone wild like we've seen for 4+ seasons now; its getting old and I'm rapidly losing patience for Riot and this game. Something or someone needs to put the foot down and get their butt into gear, this "balance circus" has more than outlived it's welcome. This preseason the people who balance stuff need to take a serious look at the overall state of the game, because right now I think this game is going to go into a death spiral if something is not done.
