The Problem with Balance

Bruisers.

When Riot tries to balance them, they need to make sure they always have enough damage to kill other bruisers. When they have enough damage to kill a tanky bruiser, they can absolutely slaughter an ADC.

When Riot tries to balance Assassins, they need to make sure they have enough damage to kill other bruisers, and enough mobility to run around bruisers. When they have that, they can instantly slaughter an ADC.

When Riot tries to balance tanky/cc supports, they need to make sure they have enough cc and damage to at least inconvenience a bruiser. When they can inconvenience a bruiser, they can slaughter an ADC. Every time I die early game in bot lane, it's always their full tank support who did twice as much damage as their ADC.

ADCs are sorta getting screwed right about now, and with all the tankier items like roaming around, it's hard for anyone who isn't Korean to play an ADC successfully and consistently.
