What happened to bot lane being "open" to other classes aside from ranged DPS promise?

It didn't last too long and now we are even in a worse state of the meta than pre-ADC itemisation change with the broken item called stormrazor added to the game... Also, Jhin is broken with all kinds of runes. I remember that he was in a very good spot on release aside from DFT ability kills. He was definitely not designed to run around faster than Hecarim or Rammus...

Buff Caitlyn's early game so she can decide who can lane and who won't be able to lane.

It died in 2015, after Mordekaiser in the Juggernaut update proved to be a failure. They simply forgot that that's not what bot laners actually want.

How about before we open up bot lane diversity, we open up lane diversity for marksmen so they actually have somewhere else on the map to go. :/ besides, the non meta bot laners are still there. Heimer, Swain, Yasuo are all still good and viable. Nothing about them, except Swain, changed. ADCs were just buffed back up and allowed to actually be champions again instead of walking minions.

Example number 13534523# of why the Gameplay Boards are a joke that should be removed, if you honestly think that pre 8.11 adcs were stronger than adcs right now we you we are not playing the same game I guess.

But I have to agree that Jhin needs nerfs.
