How about we just make it so that ranged auto attack projectiles collide with the first enemy champ

Gives tanks a way to be useful without having to be overloaded with cc or damage.

Also makes bot lane fights more dynamic.

And maybe rework doran's shield so that it grants melee minions within 300 range projectile block so melee champions don't get harassed out of lane by auto attack based ranged champions so much.

Besides it makes auto attack projectile speed an interesting lever that can be used to tune and differentiate different ranged carries.

This is why Graves isn't a bot lane ADC anymore. It's horrible for laning.

That would make Braum useless. Along with other issues with it. Ranged carries wouldn't exist because they would be able to get countered by any tank.

Thats hyperbolic.

Tanks are either going to have crazy amounts of cc to lock down ranged carries and prevent them from interacting, or they are going to have the ability to directly protect their allies from the ranged carry's attacks. The latter has more depth because it involves more inputs-- rather than diving and pressing some buttons for cc, it involves careful positioning and repositioning on the part of the tank, and continuous risk assesment.

And braum isn't useless under this model because he can block more than just auto attacks, and he gains a lot of damage reduction while doing it.

And as long as ranged carries can lay siege to towers with protection from their team they are going to exist.
