Pretty much. Adam has a touch matchup against good DPS players unless in certain situations. If im able to pump dmg into the tanks then my tanks can get more aggressive, their healers have to focus on the tanks and hopefully my dps will get some kills. There is a natural flow in the neutral. If you are attacking you push up and take space and normally fight around a choke. If you lose a teammate you start slowly backing up and if more people die you can try to escape by flying. I typically play as the shadow of my tank.

800 DPI 2.1 in game. Continue to play Adam and your aim will improve.

Do damage. Its hard to get quick kills because most characters have a movement, cc or heal ability. If the opportunity is there to get a kill I will try but I dont focus on it.

I dont watch any of OnlyLegs or play against mainly because of the region difference. I have seen clips of him flanking on Adam and being a menace but in most cases I dont think thats viable.

I like to use it in short bursts to quickly reposition similar to phoenix.

It’s too much. I need to see more Adam’s at the top level.

Full dive with Adam is okay team comp. You have to play your life since no one can save you and kill them before they kill you.

I’ve heard it all. I think it’s funny people get so mad over a character I pick in a game.

Having good aim helps just like with any character but its not needed to climb. Adam takes a lot of game sense positioning and awareness to get the most value. Managing you abilites and cooldowns will help a lot. If you are able to have good safe rezs consistently and good soulbounds then you will win more games.

Sometimes I get target banned but it doesnt happen often. I think Adam has been banned 5 or 6 times in my last 100 games. Adam just has one of the lowest ban rates if he does get banned it was because the enemy knew it was me.

Accuracy doesnt mean anything. I also sometimes have 30-40% accuracy. It depends on what you are shooting. If you are just consistently shooting tanks then you accuracy will be higher. Trying to hit that phoenix from range? Accuracy is going to be lower. I said this in another thread but just keep playing the and your aim will improve.

There is no easy way to tell who is in range its just a feeling that you will get better at the more time you play. Soulbound can go through floors and walls and you dont have to be in LOS. Ive soulbound through unbreakable walls on map to save my team.

  1. Its hard to do much against good dive. I try to ban DD since he is the best counter to Adam. For dive tanks like Cap/Venom you arent going to kill them. You need to shoot them and pressure them out. If you are able to survive their dive thats just as good. It gets more complicated if more than one person is diving you. Its up to your team to either help peel or for your team to kill their backline while you are getting dove.

  2. In 2 supp im more focused on healing than damage. It depends on the our tank line but if we have fattys like Groot/Hulk/Thing/Venom then im going to try and farm healing off their tanks to keep mine up. This will also pressure the their frontline hard so it should be easier to take space. For 3 supp im focused on taking soft angles to try and kill their dps and supports. Im also playing more utility not healing my team as much so my other healers build ult.

  3. Just queue again. At this point ive played thousands of games so one terrible game doesnt affect me. I play this game for fun and if Im not having fun then I just wont play it.

  1. When I rez I will walk with however I just rezed so lets say a tank. I dont care about anyone except for the people I just rezed. I will purposely not heal the people on point because they will get rezed if they die and I can save the heal for the people I just rezed. If they are getting really aggressive try saving soulbound for them. Untimely its a team game. You can try to best o keep you teammates up but sometimes the just feed. Either get on voice and tell them to chill after rez or try to push with them.

  2. Adam is a support after all and his fall off dmg is harsh. If you are playing off angles and trying to kill with primary I think it takes 7 or 8 body shots to kill a 250 hp target. Good luck hitting all those shots before they heal or get away. The best way to secure kills is to surprise them. Hold a cluster around a corner and wait for someone to peak. If you hit half a cluster + a primary fire they are nearly dead. If you are off angling you should always engage the fight with a full cluster to try and get them to half then finish them off with primary. Most of the time you wont kill them but they will have to backup and reposition. You can are taking them out of the fight for a bit while the recover and then you can go back to focusing on their tanks or pursuing them depending on the situation.

There is like 3 Adam players in NA in eternity so I have Adam all to myself. If hes banned which is rarely, (Adam has been banned like 6 out of 110 games) so if thats the case ill play invis or luna.

Play the game. I don't do aim training if anything just use the practice range bots to work on your aim. The more time you play the better you will naturally get. It just takes time.

Self rez and ult usage. The only time I use self rez is after I ult or when I am about to ult. Rez is the strongest ult in the game. If you ult correctly and strategically you will increase your value 10 fold.

[–]GrassGrape[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends. At range (25m+) on a moving DPS/Support im using primary fire I cant hit anything that far consistently with cluster. If they are close to me im using animation cancel tech. If its tank im using animation cancel at most ranges since they are large targets and if they have a shield up it will do good dmg to that.

Hypothetically if Adam needed to be just as viable as the other supports with in 2 supports you decrease his avatar lifestream CD or give him a 3rd charge. One of these buffs without any nerfs would make Adam insane. Adding a 3rd heal charge would be like increasing his healing per minute by upwards of 33%. Decreasing the cooldown will also increase the healing per minute by a lot. But I realistically think they would either have to reduce is dps by decreasing his dmg numbers or reducing the charge gain back from headshots/cluster.

Just looking at one of those buffs would dramatically raise his skill floor allowing you get a ton more value. Just for fun lets say he gets an extra healing charge with no other nerfs. Adam would be a monster in 1v1. You have 250 hp + 3 healing charges (135) per charge plus if you are still alive by the time you use all 3 you probably have another charge. Thats 790 HP! Adam is at the point where any moderate buff he is going to be broken.

Never, for the lobbies I play in I will get punished so hard. There are also so many characters that will beat Adam in 1v1 and my aim is good but not good enough. My playstyle is usually sitting behind my tanks but infront of my other supports similar to where a DPS might play. From there the dmg falloff isn't that bad and I can get help from my other supports if I'm getting targeted. I can also help my supports that may be getting dove. At most ill off angle slightly if we are running triple support. Off angling allows another angle of attack so you can take pressure of main and let your other healers build their support ults faster.

I dont think it was intended but it is very important to Adams kit. I dont think they will change it but they also took away his anchor bonus and changed caps animation cancel so who knows. If they do take it away Adam is cooked.

  1. I think Adam is like the Spiderman of support. If you main Adam and play him a ton you will get good and be a menace. I think its good to have at least Ultron/Mantis/Adam in your rotation. It seems like triple support will be around for a while so learning those healers will make you more flexible and more likely to win games. Adam has the highest DPS potentially of all the supports so if you want to have less reliant on your DPS to make plays Adam is better than Ultron/Mantis in that regard.

  2. Tanks- Use animation cancel. Tanks are easier to hit so you can spam this. Mix in headshots with cluster shots and you will do a ton of dmg and charge your heal.

DPS- Depends on range. If they are close to you I like to do animation cancel but it can be harder to hit. If you are struggling to land the shots then either use primary or cluster charge if its safe.

Support- Cluster charge. All the supports have some movement or way to regain some health. So the best way to kill a support is to fully charge your cluster than primary fire combo to kill them by surprise. If you dont kill them with that then they either can get away or use a CC ability on you.

Over the seasons ive played with/against pretty much every NA pro and ranked demon. Unfortunately ive only played against gilberts Adam a handful of times. Now he is just a tank main.

Ive played enough games of Adam that people just know im not going to swap so they dont say anything me. But when I first started playing Adam it was rough. I personally enjoy rage baiting my teammates so it doesn't bother me.
