I am thinking the same things as you. is a testament that caster marksman can work in the mid lane very well. However, I am striving to find a method that allows all marksmen to survive in this meta. The gains may seem small, but I would like to point out four general facts.
 * 1) is rarely slain, leading to a general underutilization of Summoner Rift's power.
 * 2) Lethality patch changes has shifted the power towards assassins and removed the power from marksman.
 * 3) only gains greater power efficiency than flat, in terms of autoattacks, after 114.
 * 4) is applied through an autoattack and lasts 20 minutes.

The meta exists to utilize the most out of a map. The jungler role is a testament to this theory. Thus it is natural to shift the power to the top lane in order to utilize more out of the map.

With a combined nerf to marksmen and buff to their counters, this means that marksman are vulnerable. The fact that requires a certain threshold for that awesome power, it means that the all marksmen want to be safe until they can make their gains through. A much more sturdy turret will support this endeavor.

Melee champions have low autoattack ranges, ranged champions have high autoattack ranges. is applied through an autoattack. Ranged marksmen are vulnerable when alone. grants damage resistance when alone. The damage differences account for damage application, but without a doubt, a duo lane will claim more often than a solo lane. Also, nothing will ever change the top priority of autoattacks to a marksman so a boost to this is very much welcome. I am not merely suggesting this as the buff marksmen want, but also as the buff marksmen need.

I am suggesting this as the only method for marksmen to cope with the current meta as a change to an equivalent alternative is not an option. This is due to the fact that all marksmen are in danger of being overwhelmed no matter where they go. As such a shift to top lane is not enough to get rid of this danger, but it grants them the greatest odds of overcoming this situation while being applicable to all marksmen in the game. An overall increase in the power of bot lane will occur due to much more accessible gains to. I am betting on this alongside the ability to farm more in lane with a stronger turret as the only way to allow all marksmen to stay in this meta without completely crashing--as they are now.
