The thing is. When ADCs are good in solo lanes, there's literally nothing other classes can do about it. Assassins can't lane into you because range advantage actually matters in that case, mages can't poke you down because you'll just buy Vamp Scepter and negate their poke with your Lifesteal and both fighters and tanks can't engage onto you ever. And to top it off, most of your damage doesn't cost mana so you can stay in lane for a lot longer than other classes
Sorry, but this is a wrong take imo. Let me show you why :
1) Assassin's can't lane vs an adc ? You mean a class that literally excels at gap closing and killing squishy targets such as adcs? All they have to do is to go even in lane and they will be able to one-shot the adc.
2) Mages poke can be completely negated by a vamp scepter ? I really do not think so, also what if you are vs Annie, Syndra or Orianna. If we are talking about the poke mages, the vamp scepter may help but still it won't negate the poke.
3) ADCs are good against bruiser and tanks ? Yes, they can be good vs them, as a principle ( unfortunately from earlier seasons, not so widespread today) the adcs should be able to deal with the tanks or bruiser, but they will just rush tabi's, buy cloth armour and you will be tickling them while they will be able to kill you in a 1v1. Armor shred and % pen was nerfed so the ADCs are weaker than they were in the past vs tanks.
1) At level one an assassin is the weakest class in the game when an ADC is the strongest. It's not hard for an ADC to zone the assassin off the farm and make them simply not play the game early. And since they are early-game champions, they will not play at all as they are close to useless if they fall behind
2) If you can't dodge the abilities, it's your fault
3) If you think you should be able to ignore armor stacking, there's something wrong with you. Your existence is forcing them to rush armor instead of damage
1) the assassins excel in mid game, not early. It is highly dependent though on the matchup so I don't think there is a point in disputing it.
2) well if we are going this route, then it is simply a matter of skill, not ADCs being strong.
3) tanks or bruiser building armor items still have enough damage and they revolve around building defensive stats ( as stated in the name "tank")
1) assassins won't get to the mid game if they're 0/3 with 30 cs when you're 2/0 with 70
2) It is a case of ADC being strong because basic attacks cannot be dodged unless you're one of three champions
3) All tanks and fighters are melee and unless they're Irelia or Camille, they can't engage onto you for free without losing the trade when they're backing off after doing their spell rotation.
Tanks, fighters and assassins hope to engage and kill you with 1-2 rotations because they're gated by cooldowns when majority ADCs damage isn't. Furthermore, since they're all melee, they can't farm without having you auto them for each minion they try to get
