Hoping for a meta that ADCs wont be 100% mandatory, like every other class through the years
Assuming that Riot even has that kind of vision and its not all comfortable with ADCs being mandatory for 6 fucking years.

Ok... let me see if I can explain this. I'm not great at getting my point across sometimes, but I'll try.
ADC's are mandatory because the game makes them mandatory. League is a game about taking towers and objectives to win. Kills help. Teamfights help. But ultimately what wins the game is shredding all the enemy towers and taking the nexus.
Because of this, a role that does high sustained damage to towers/inhibs/dragon/baron/whatever is hugely important. It doesn't NEED to be a ranged champion... but they're safer than melee champs and thus can get away with building mostly damage and neglecting defenses. Riot isn't pushing adc's down your throat... they are just the most useful class in the game at the thing that ultimately WINS GAMES. If tomorrow Riot disabled every single adc in the game you would eventually see people running ADC Ahri, LeBlanc and Bard in bot lane. Not because Riot is forcing the role into the game, but because in the game they have made the role of a glass-cannon ranged AD damage-dealer is VERY important. They build adcs to fit a role the game demands, not to shove an OP role on people.
Do you know where you WON'T see adc's? Dominion. Not as many on 3v3 either. Why? Well the thing they do there isn't as vital to winning the game... but their downsides are a HUGE weak spot. Dominion required champs that could take and defend a point from enemies... not a great place for glass cannons. It also all but REQUIRES the team to split up and hold multiple objectives... leaving the vulnerable adc without help, which they desperately need. 3v3 is slightly more viable, but again... small team sizes mean every champ needs to hold their own and adc's require peel and defending. They also die almost immediately if they're caught and can't rely on having a long, safe lane to farm up. They don't scale fast enough.
So if you're sick of ADC's I'm sorry, but they're never going away. The role arose out of need of someone who does what they do, not because Riot forced the role onto the game. Hell, they didn't even invent the concept... Dota had ranged damage dealers since forever. If you want to play 5v5 summoner's rift, you need to accept that someone who does exactly what adc's are designed to do is very important to winning. Now, any ranged champ can technically do it. You can run AD Lux or Soraka if you want, but Riot made champs to suit the game's need... So of course they'll be better at performing that role than a random ranged champ shoehorned into the spot. You could run tank Lux if you really wanted but she wouldn't make a great one.
Now if you think a certain adc is kinda OP... that's different. If you think the role of adc's as a whole is a little OP, sure... that's your opinion. You might even be right. But saying stupid crap like "OMG, Y DO ADC BE IMPORTANT IN EVERY META?!" just shows a gross lack of understanding about how the game works overall. If you want to make suggestions for how Riot can change the game to make adc's less mandatory... go on and do that! But it won't really resemble summoners rift in playstyle much, I'd guess. In either case, don't just whine like a baby over something then offer nothing in the way of suggestions to fix it. Hell, I'd have accepted a post asking for other people's suggestions on how to fix it. But as it is, it seems more like you're just some whining child that doesn't even understand what you're talking about and is just bitching to bitch.
TL: DR: I'm very sorry you lost a game to a fed adc, but I can't take you seriously when you act so ignorant and whiny.
ADC main here
i think they are mandatory because the game doesn't give a lot of advantage to melees that being said i don't care if you make them not mandatory i will still play them
hell i even support your idea since i'll be fighting something else than 18 champs in bot lane
When was the last time having a jungler was not mandatory???????? Oh you wont talk about that because your point is to be biased against adcs.
Oh yeah just another low elo hating on adcs for no reason, l2p op.
And what sort of solution would you propose, exactly?
You could nerf every ADC into the ground. You could delete them from the game. It wouldn't make much of a difference, because people would just move on to champions with good autos, like 
. Not only is ranged AD + support strong and efficient, ranged AD is almost mandatory for taking towers.
