Anyone else feel like melee champs top are completely fucked over.

No, not really.

Looking at the 10 most popular top champions, 8.5 of them are melee (I consider Gangplank 50% melee for this). Save for Fiora and Gnar (the only ranged champion), all of them have winrates that are above 50%. Expanding to top 20 most played (place 20 playrate is 3.65%, btw), it show 15.5 champions of those 20 to be melees. Of these 15.5 melees, 11.5 have above 50% winrate.

there is a reason why melees usually can take much more punishment than ranged champions, you aren't supposed to contest every single cs. All you need to do in a melee vs range matchup is get the skills you need to jump onto the ranged champion and maybe have some amount of jungle presence. Whether this means building some defensive stats first or farming using whatever ranged abilities you might have before you get access to the skills necessary to eat the ranged champion up or just build straight damage since you can already do that at early lvls and not be punished by ranged champions is all up to who you are facing and who you are playing as

really fun experience as someone who plays riven and tries their ass off to farm without going aggo early.

needs to reduce ranged attack damage by 20% for mele champs at early levels.
