Ranger is currently the most underwhelming 'carry' class.

Mostly because they lack a high powered carry which the other damage focused classes share. (Blademaster has Draven, Sorc has Aurelion, Elementalist has Brand, Assassin has Rengar... etc.) Their highest powered using is Kindred who isn't a damage dealer.

Was drafting up the concept of a damage focused ranger.

Option 1: Kogmaw: 4-cost (maybe 5). Void/Ranger. Living Artillery. Kog targets the furthest away unit with a delayed spike of magic damage. Doesn't interrupt auto attacking at all. (30 mana, very spammy)

(Problems: While Ranger isn't doing too well, Void is currently really powerful.)

Option 2: Ezreal: 4-cost. Exile/Ranger (possibly Hextech/Ranger but he's thematically a loner and Hextech already has Jinx). Mystic Shot. Fires a skillshot at his current attack target, doing physical damage + onhits to the first thing it hits. Also gives him a stacking attackspeed bonus. (50 mana, spammy).

Option 3: Xayah: 5-cost. Wild/Ranger/Lover Bladecaller. Passively causes feathers to spawn as she attacks (similar to GP barrels). On cast she drags them all back to do magic damage to everything in their path and rooting targets struck. (125 mana.)

(Also included in the Xayah package is Rakan because how couldn't you.) Rakan. 5-cost. Wild/Sorcerer/Lover The Quickness. For 4 seconds Rakan runs at the furthest away enemy, retargetting to the new furthest if he reaches them, stunning everyone he passes through, when they break free of the stun they will target Rakan even if he's left their range and they have to chase for a while to do so. (125 mana).

(Lover tag. If Xayah and Rakan are both on the team they will share tags. (Xayah gains Rakan's Sorcerer, Rakan gains her Ranger) They also gain the tag (but not the stats) from each other's spatula items. Being both 5 cost units Lover tag is really hard to get.)
