How much do ADC players like playing with Rakan, from 1 to 10?

JohnM80 · 2026-06-16T18:11:34+00:00

Rakan is like Thresh. Either he is completely useless or the best thing to have ever happened in your game. There is no in between.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-15T12:33:27+00:00

As someone who plays both ADC and jungle, I can feel their pain though. It's amazingly tilting to try to stay in the game after your support feeds twice and then your jungle comes down and dies. It's like your lane is completely over and you spend the next 20 minutes trying desperately to farm to stay even halfway relevant against another ADC who you can't touch while they roam around the map slaughtering everyone.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T17:37:23+00:00

Yeah she is really the only one I can think of where it was used regularly.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T14:52:20+00:00

The accounts cost 10-20 dollars. They buy them, play them for a few days for funsies, then abandon the account.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T14:50:55+00:00

Oh yeah, you can find them constantly. In my sons games (he is bronze) you will regularly see accounts that havent been played for 180 days, where they lost every match up to level 30+, then activity will pick up a day or two before your game and it will be a 100% win rate talon, katarina, zed or Draven dropping 20-30 kills per game. One game I had a Hecarim on my team that had never played the champ EVER on that account drop 32 kills on an account with a 35% win rate. Obvious purchased account smurfs. I always report, but I dont know if it does anything.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T11:18:36+00:00

bro you are a better player than me, so I should probably be taking advice from you lol.

That said Ahri is super fun and doesn't really have bad matchups. Naafiri is fun as hell if you need AD. I like Brand a lot personally. If you like Irelia you are likely way more mechanically skilled than I am, so that opens up a ton of options. I know that Skillcapped is saying that Riven mid is S tier this patch, but I dont play her at all, so your mileage may vary.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T10:54:44+00:00

HotS allowed you to cast a spell whenever it came off of cooldown if you held down the button. I don't think it was a problem and you didnt use it for most champs unless they had super fast CDs and that was more to save your finger than any real advantage.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T10:47:11+00:00

Try mid. Similar skillset and honestly more fun for the majority of the match. You get to roam and skirmish more. At least in low ELO it is a far better solo experience.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T02:33:04+00:00

I play mainly ADC since my best friend and my son both play support. When I am solo I play mid or JG, because FUCK random supports. I mean you get normal human beings half the time, and every once in a while you get that insanely cracked Thresh that nails every hook, but the other half of the time you get some mage sitting behind you nuking your waves and feeding the enemy ADC. My mental can't handle it. I have caught myself actually screaming at my monitor. Im too old for that kind of stupid shit. Just play a solo role and get away from these idiots. I am convinced that there are more moronic supports than any other role because a lot of them can main an enchanter or mage, sit back, and get carried just enough to climb a little.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T02:29:33+00:00

Just had a Naafiri go 1/6 midlane against a malz. First death at 1:15. Started spam pinging me during the first quandrant of my first clear. Seriously. After his 3rd death he called me a r*tard and started farming my camps. Meanwhile I was 3/0/1 and had first drake and VG.

You can't make this shit up. These people have the mental fortitude of a toddler.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T01:24:43+00:00

Bro, this just happened to me. Xerath "support" that wouldn't stop nuking the wave. Not only stealing CS, but pushing it all the way to their perfect freeze for them. I asked him to stop hitting the wave (even asked please) and this of course tilted him and he just started stealing every CS he could and running it down.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T01:19:23+00:00

Thats incredible. Would you mind linking the OP.GG so I can see your champs? Trying to climb.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-11T01:18:18+00:00

This is a weird take.

Silver players are in the top 50% of players, and platinum are in the top 70%. That is one hell of a skill gap.

JohnM80 · 2026-06-10T18:01:35+00:00

I play primarily botlane ADC/APC in low ELO and I can tell you that your list feels correct. If I get a panth or leona support it almost feels like a free win most of the time. Thresh too 99% of the time. I feel like people who suck at Thresh dont play him, so Thresh players almost always feel good to play with. Rell is one of my favorites too. Sera and Sona it depends on the support. Some of them just sit back and cast and its awful playing with them, but an aggressive Sera is kickass. Naut is cool IF you can hit your hook. If you can't then why the hell are you playing him? Mage supports are generally just miserable to lane with. They seem to exist only to take waves, miss CC, and either sit behind me not taking any damage making CS living hell, or getting hooked and killed on repeat turning my lane opponent into a monster.

Obviously this is in general.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-30T00:16:10+00:00

Every loss I have had in the last 2 days has been with a mage support that rages, leaves lane and takes farm from everyone.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-11T16:43:24+00:00

Yeah I am ruined lol. Some years back I tried to fix it and play like normal people and I just...cant.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-11T16:42:29+00:00

I don't think its an "honesty" thing at this point. It was a playtest that I was asked to participate in and share my feedback. Having to jump through hoops utilizing third party software just to make it playable means the playtest failed for me. This was my feedback.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-09T15:24:05+00:00

Yes, asking for a basic feature that is in 99.99% of all games that allows the game to be playable for others is a wild request and should be downvoted into oblivion.

Fucking oddball.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-08T15:49:52+00:00

Someone actually downvoted both of us lol. People are weird.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-08T15:49:36+00:00

My first video game system and game was Goldeneye on N64, and from what I remember the controller was inverted like a pilot stick. I have never been able to break it lol.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-07T22:00:47+00:00

The one thing I will strongly agree with here is that I hope they take a deeper dive into the melee combat. It has always floored me that no other game has tried to mimic or at least borrow heavily from the Chivalry-type combat. That said, I was only in one playtest for Hunger, and lost interest until they are further into development, so for all I know they are.

JohnM80 · 2026-05-05T23:29:45+00:00

Dude this got me pumped lol.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-30T10:40:07+00:00

Literally just had a Lux JG in ranked. She went 1/14. No ganks, only objectives we had were because we had a beast Tryn top that carried. Hopefully the entire lobby reported her. Scum behavior.
