The ADC role is now the most overpowered role it has ever been.

This is because they now have ridiculous lifesteal with warlords and botrk or bt. This means they can heal from 100 to full in about 1.5 seconds just by right clicking. So obviously the only counter is burst. However, adc's can get death's dance to severely lower burst damage or guardian angel to give them a second life, both of which add to their damage output. Not only that, they have a support dedicated to keeping them alive, and their job is easier than ever with stuff like item 3107 item 3190 making them impossible to burst. Let's not forget that some adc's like Twitch Caitlyn have insane range that can even outrange gapclosers, meaning most melees can be kited to death. Back in previous seasons, adc's had to demonstrate proper positioning and orb walking to be effective in teamfights. Now, they can just sit there and drain tank entire teams just by right clicking.

Not really. Ive seen someone shut down a 10/0 Jinx easy. ADC still takes skill to be good

ADCs can only survive the way you are suggesting by getting to the late game or getting fed. It's the rest of the teams job, particularly the mid-laner and jungler, to make sure your ADC gets fed and the opposing ADC gets shut down.

The C stands for Carry. That's what they do.
