I wanna note that even though I agree that the range is a bit over-the-top at some spots, there are really few marksmen that can do anything against an AP Ezreal, Veigar, Malzahar or Fiora.

That is the entire goal of the Marksmen-class in my opinion, being able to obliterate the enemy lines from the backline, but if they get picked by an assassin there's little they can do about it besides positioning and help from teammates.
