If AS would be halved, then marksmans be as usefull as zilean's passive. Do You even know how how total AS stat is calculated? Jinx who has extremely low base AS attack at much slower rate than Tristana while their Q's are comparable. For second part, see Dota's Sniper (propably lowest base dmg ingame), well-farmed and builded is a beast (if you can get though extremely painful lasthitting).
 * "How would you even do that?" -- Literally halve the base attack speed, or gut the base attack damage, of every Marksman. Tune as necessary.

Carries always were core of the game. It is not Dota's "4 support + adc ftw" but still. Riot is trying to change the game to be more dynamic (every map and mode released during last three years?), but is illogical. If I would want to play an easy and fast moba i would play Bloodline champs (sadly the game is practically dead) or waited for HOTS. League should stay just as it is now (or even better revert to my beloved season 1 hypercarry Sivir).

I can agree that some champs you mentioned are kinda pointless (typical akali that does nothing, steals kills like Darius and claimes self "pro" with 10/200000000/0, flames rest of the team and goes afk. No, seriously, i had two games in a row like that. In both i did more dmg as Sona...). Yasuo is another bullshit champ, he can easily go solo penta and do it with more ease than fed Riven. Gosh.

I also absolutely agree than tanks are shit now. I used to jungle pre-rework Sejuani in S2/S3 going fulltank and it worked. Two weeks ago or so i get reported by WHOLE team for not having AP on her. In gold III. Bronze flows though you my son.

At last I will mention that meelee carries (Fiora/Trynda/Master/Yauo) are OVERPOWERED as hell, and every one of them can do a solo penta. Buffing them would be like shooting youself in... i dunno... eye maybe? Plus we have tons of Jaxes, Irelias and Dogs, and they also can win the game alone.
