Why are people playing ADC's Top Mid and Jg?

I don't understand? In my opinion, this ruins those lanes, especially the melee-oriented top lane. Imagine queuing up for a game only to matched with a Caitlyn top as your opponent... In what was can you win that lane if the Cait has a brain? especially since she abuses store razor? I've even seen Lucian jg like what is this? Makes me not want to play tbh

Cuz damage creepy

Marksmen no longer have a garbage early game, so they can effortlessly harass melee without dashes now so easy top/mid

If you are against a ranged top laner with no mobility and a weak early game, start item 1054 and/or consider Second Wind, take what creeps you can without over extending, and let the wave push to you, thinning it before it reaches your tower for an easy freeze. You now have a squishy marksman pushed up in a long lane, making them easy pickings for any jungler with half a brain, and if you get on them, you can chase them all the way back to their tower.

As a melee top laner, your base stats are better than any ADC and your items are much cheaper. If they are "abusing" Stormrazor, then you should have already had your first item finished, and you didn't abuse that advantage. Either that, or they outfarmed you so hard that they made an extra thousand gold over you to have their item first.

Because they are annoying lane bullies who have early kill pressure and prevent enemy melee laners from farming, therefore losing consistency in both XP and gold.

Also because osme adcs are functional on solo lane where they are meant to counter other champins, perfect example being Vayne who is played on top lane to harass Juggernauts like Darius, Garen, Mordekaiser and Aatrox.

Also maybe because people are fucking tired of getting so many autofilled supports first timing hard skilled ones in ranked.

Because, ADCs are still where they were before their changes, meaning their strength that created the tank meta because defensive stats mattered. Now they cant cause a tank meta because tanks dont soak damage for shit, so Riot's content on leaving them alone, so now they'll just outstat melees in top and health regen wont heal back enough health, and armor wont save you from the poke either.
