I very much agree when you say CC, especially knockbacks/ups is dominant right now. I'm not so sure that hard damage dealers aren't viable in lane either, it's really in teamfights where they begin to loose there effectiveness. You already have an ADC. You don't need another one who happens to have to dive into the enemy team to to damage, where they usually die because stuns and snares are a hard counter to everything. I think that champs like Jax, who can provide some ok cc, good damage, and are naturally decently tanky, so bruisers, are really what fits the meta best now.

I have seen though, some games where there is one ADC, and then basically 4 supports who keep that damage alive. The reason that works too is the massive cc. Something needs to be done about it. Cruisable was a start, but it just isn't enough.
