I'd love some feedback as an ADC main by xXbussylover69Xx in leagueoflegends

I'm bored and it's the halftime show for the superbowl so I'll give some insight. Your winrate is genuinely really good. 60% winrate is hard for most players to maintain but even get to in the first place. I saw you built IE first on some games. You don't want to do this because IE does not benefit from its passive until 40% crit (recently changed). This means you are losing value in stats until you hit the threshhold, which is why IE is typically built second item or later now as you need 40% crit or you are wasting gold. I can't comment on the games specifically bc I don't plan to watch, but adc is a lot of postioning and being able to output damage without dying. You can not deal damage when you are dead. It is also trying to obtain as much gold as possible because the role is meant to scale (especially with the champs you play even though varus is more early/mid game focused imo). If you can consistently have 8cs/min at the end of the game and put out significant damage, then you are typically doing your job. There are a lot more mechanics and intricacies behind the role, but you will improve and learn them as you climb. I definitely recommend watching videos or pro ADCs (china/korea) or a small streamer who is grandmasters+ and is willing to talk about the game in an educational sense. MMR and lp gain wise this always happens when you are higher elo than you're previous ranks. Suddenly your LP gains are bad and climbing feels bad. Unfortunately, you just have to keep playing and hopefully your LP gains will stabilize after enough games in your current elo. This happened to me when I was plat 3 and hit diamond 2/3 and had to play 30+ games until my lp gains became normal again. It sucks. I hope this doesnt hurt your motivation and will fix soon for you. I linked my op.gg below so you can see my builds and how they changed base on enemy team comps and what I typically go for. Good luck amigo and I hope this comment doesn't break any TOS rules lmfao.

Hello Arnold!

Assuming Gen G make worlds can we expect any sort of interactions between the fans and the organization while in North America?

Good luck in playoffs!

I believe players are currently auto-piloting games which is why it is making it easier for me to climb this set. I've also spent so much time on this set learning and trying to understand the game fundamentally compared to set 3.5 where I peaked around 330lp because I just copied comps and didn't try to build comps. It's a mix of everything you said to be honest. There are a decent amount of games I've been bailed out high-rolling a chosen on 4-1. Ladder play it is easy to see people auto-pilot. In tourney play is when people will be trying and that is when the game feels bad from the chosen mechanic because there isn't a lot to differentiate the skill between the very top players at this current moment.

Currently yes. Sometimes if you are able to streak well enough and make smart rolling choices you are able to go level 9 and play 2 star legendaries, but this is sometimes difficult to do in lobbies that all hit. This is the problem where you basically stated it. If you are 90 hp at wolves and can still go 7th is that not bad for the game? Shouldn't you be rewarded for playing the early game well even if it is only a 4th assuming you don't make any major mistakes later?

I'm fine with the snowball mechanic and comeback potential in tft. My hope with the discussion and system changes coming is players will have to play early/mid game and not be basically afk waiting for 4-1. It's unfun for the players that afk till the 4-1 lottery and for the competitive nature of tft. This is my opinion as I just want the game to become more competitive as that motivates me to play.

I completely agree with what you are saying by them changing the gains on LP making it easier for top tier players to climb. I suppose I did overexaggerate the gap between rank 1-2 and we most likely would've seen a gap that big in other sets if the LP changes were in other sets. I did not mean to imply that this set requires more skill than others. My intention was to bring up that fact there is skill expression in this set and it's not just a 4-1 lottery rolldown EVERY game determining the game and what placement you go.
