User blog comment:Contractas1/Ashe - The most ignored concept of a carry?/@comment-1990160-20140108141911/@comment-2112140-20140110180328

Thanks for the opinion

I think one of the reasons why the meta has shifted to favor marksmen is because of aggressive supports becoming more popular, with RIot releasing champions like Thresh, Lulu, Nami who all have that aggressive playstyle which allows the ADCs for more aggressive play which pretty much pushed out the soft supports like Janna, Soraka, Taric(somewhat). Another thing I'm quite surprised at is that Alistar is basically completely shunned I mean I haven't seen an Alistar for so long in the support role, is it his difficulty or is it that people think he's not that viable anymore..

I think that the classic carries still are better than the "marksmen". On Ashe, she has tons of utility, Tristana can go snowball or downhill most of the time but she still has the highest range late game and is pretty insane late when she can shoot you from places where you wouldn't expect, Miss Fortune has just been forgotten IMO she still has the power but her ultimate is what's holding her back.

Just to say what I think about marksmen favoring the meta is that they only favor it cause aggressive supports are becoming more popular and they seem to work better for them, the game just refuses to go for a passive playstyle and is going more and more on the aggressive side from the old passive LoL.
