@Iffem Now for the other part that I stopped to read.

Everything you said is on point. All the reasons against playing marksmen you mentioned, however, is for marksmen being played in the botlane. When I take a marksmen, say Jinx, to midlane, I am not changing just my build, I am changing my playstyle aswell. So my weaknessess become my strength. Easily gankable? Max E and laugh the ganks off as you W and Q them in the back. Almost all good junglers have a sort of a gap closer. Predictable gap closers. Just drop off E where you think they will land. I do this with Cait and Jinx in the midlane. Drop traps in front of you. Let them dash/charge to you.

I am not defying the meta. I am adapting. But all in good fun, yo.
