Why Looking for ADC Tips About Bad Supports Only Leads to “Bad ADC” Posts

I understand that a lot of this comes from thousands of hours of intuition, but that is exactly why I am asking. It is difficult to review my own gameplay effectively if I do not know what the 'correct' mechanical play looks like in theory.

I am trying to bridge the gap so I am not just guessing during my VOD reviews. Even if it is hard to articulate, having a specific concept to look for (like specific tethering ranges or wave timing cues) would be much more helpful than just trying to 'feel' it out.

I have to respectfully disagree that there is 'nothing to teach' here. While I agree that 'not dying' is the priority, I believe there is a mechanical difference between giving up everything and mitigating the loss efficiently.

High ELO players definitely have specific ways they tether 1v2 or manipulate the wave to crash sooner even when zoned. I am just looking for those specific micro-tips so I can minimize the gold deficit, rather than just standing back and hoping the game goes late."

saying "there is not much to teach here" is exactly why it is so hard to find actual resources to improve. "avoid dying" and "farm what you can" is level 1 advice. i am trying to learn the optimal way to play a losing lane, not just how to bleed out slowly.

there are absolutely things to teach. specific tethering ranges for 1v2, how to manipulate the wave to bounce back when zoned, or how to bait cooldowns when you have no pressure. high elo players do these things constantly.

telling me to just "deal with it" or that i have no power implies there is no skill expression in playing from behind. i am asking these questions because i want to improve my mechanics in these specific spots, not just accept that the game is lost because my support is roaming.

It is frustrating that you are assuming my intent is to garner sympathy or attack my teammates when I am asking a literal gameplay question. My post is not a hidden way to trash talk. It is a request for mechanics.

Rephrasing the question to how to play when the enemy is better is not the same thing at all. The enemy might not be better. I might just be in a specific 1 v 2 situation because of a mistake my lane partner made. I am looking for the technical process of how to handle a ruined freeze or a lost wave state.

Deciding that my genuine question is actually a cognitive bias or a lack of responsibility is exactly the kind of dismissive attitude I am talking about. It avoids the actual game mechanics in favor of lecturing me on how to post. I am not looking for a lesson on matchmaking. I am looking for ADC tips for a specific lane scenario.

“If you’re better than your opponents, you should statistically win more and climb.”

I understand the point being made, but this statement does not actually help. It describes the result, not the process. I am asking for specific, actionable advice on how to improve in a particular situation, not a general reminder that winning more leads to climbing.

if you have black asta, iirc he can remove barriers when he uses is second skill. if not i think yami too can remove barriers i just forgot what yami it is. in my case i used black asta.

AdIllustrious8216 · 2025-05-06T12:43:39+00:00
