The most important fights are going to take place around the checkpoints and along the goal line, both areas where ranged operate just fine. Ranged also work fine in mid, but you can't expect to just sit back and attack at max range with no issues like on Palaistra or Cloud Nine - you have to learn to deal with people trying to LOS you, and learn how to use corners to your advantage.

By your own admission, you don't play very much CC/ranked. So why are you trying to act like an authority here?
And you haven't even touched Bard in CC, much less done the climb with it.
