stop enforcing marksmen as the games sole carries. it feels shit for everyone. marksmen mains end up hating it because they get focused to hell and assassinated, and everyone else hates it because no matter how well you do early on you rarely have as much impact on the game as your bot lane.
they did a good couple of first steps with making the class more diverse with the kit changes. marksmen now dont always have to go bot lane. some of them can jungle, some of them solo lane.
now nerf essence reaver, nerf phantom dancers before people catch on how op it is. nerf marksmens lategame just so their impact is on par with other carry classes like melee adc, bruisers and carry mages. and fix the early melee vs ranged matchup so melees can go into duo lane, when the adc solo lanes.
it feels like theyve only done half the job. marksmen can now solo lane and jungle, but you still have a second marksman on bot because almost all the time 2 melees couldnt stand up against the constant poke of an adc and a support.
if they did something wit dorans shield that made it more effective against ranged auto attacks, that should do it.
