Ranged top should be easy to fix, no?

Question

It takes literally 2 lines. Just make the floor burn if you have an auto range over 500... Or make it so that quests don't advance for ranged top. I swear to god being a riot game dev has to be the easiest job in the world.

Another day another ranged top completely curbstomping me while in melee range 100 to 0. I am so sick and tired of every now and then having a game where my enemy can just pick fiddlesticks top and STATCHECK my gwen with ignite to the point where he kills me 3 times before getting ult even. How the hell do i play against that. The game before was Aurora, and before that caitlyn top. I feel like all these supposedly squishy ranged toplaners should be punishable by melee champs in ANY WAY. But they hold all the cards and killing them is only ever possible when they fuck up and use their dash in the wrong direction.

Am i the only one struggling with this? I feel like i have a pretty good grasp on at least the basics, managed to climb my way into Platinum. But whenever i am up against a Heimerdinger toplane just poking my melee ranged ass under tower i feel like i have no impact on the map, get outscaled, and have no correct moves. If i stay out, i can never catch up with them in farm. If i go in i lose half my hp before reaching them and nowadays ranged champs are tankier than my melee bruisers. How can this be so hard to fix?
