what i expect from the marksmen update

step 1

fix the melee vs range matchup

rework into a mini thornmail against ranged auto attacks (melee only) to make it extremely difficult for ranged champs to bully melees around in lane with constant auto attack poke. at least to a point, where it evens out the matchup.

this would probably also make it possible for certain melees to duo lane on bot with a support against a ranged adc.

step 2

rework the adc into a different role distribution instead of nearly every marksman in duo lanes

independent from the individual power level these marksmen already have right now. duo lane adc solo mid lane adc. her large attack range and q make farming safe enough to survive there solo mid lane adc. reworked into a caster type adc like varus/graves duo lane adc solo mid lane adc. solo mid/top lane adc. already prefers mid and top duo lane adc duo lane adc duo/mid lane adc solo lane/jungle adc duo lane adc solo jungle adc. her lore suggest shes a scout who moves behind enemy lines, jungle just makes the most sense. midlane/duo lane adc deleted duo lane adc duo lane/jungle adc already played as midlane/caster adc in pro play her lore heavily suggests she works alone. she hunts down bad guys. jungle makes the most sense.

one of the major problems we have with this class since season 1, is the holy trinity of adc that establishes itself with every meta, as a result of just the strongest marksmen in lane being the most reliable to scale into lategame and carry.

if you only ever pit marksmen against each other in lane you will never find more than 2 or 3 being the top picks at the same time. being able to put them into other positions of the map would make them more diverse and increase their number of possible matchups.
