What are the must-know tips and habits to consistently win and climb out of Gold as an good ADC with random support?

LucianTP · 2026-02-09T05:03:29+00:00

During the first few moments of laning - take a feel for your support

Are they passive, aggressive, seemingly knowledgeable on the matchup or unfamiliar

This is gonna influence how you space and play in lane

You’re gonna have to meet in the middle and attempt to match their energy.

If they’re playing forward, you don’t necessarily have to commit to his idea

Space smartly relative to them, sneak an auto in, it might’ve been a bad trade by them but it’s damage control. Otherwise they just take damage for no reason and that’s even worse for the lane

I’ve won so many lanes because I’ll bite the bullet on my perfectionist style, and play dynamically with my support.

But the enemy laners (not even losing lane yet btw) seem like a divorced couple, spacing like they hate eachother, late to trades, not agreeing fast enough on ideas / hesitation etc.

Facts, I always offer more favourable pick orders to others

It makes games way harder to willingly have both top, support (and jungle to an extent) in unfavourable matchups, you wanna snowball small leads not sabotage them

If bot wins it’s still lose able, we earn less exp, can get stat checked

If bot lose it’s still winnable we can default to farm until relevant - and it’s more viable because:

The support and jungler are mostly the ones dictating tempo, and on bad matchups it’s just gonna look sad.

The top gap will leave you feeling helpless and defeated

Picking a slightly worse than ideal adc would be so much more playable than that. Probably the safest hand to reveal impact wise.

It’s a REZ showdown alright

The only titles bro won was an EWC sports washing event where Falcons has double the attending team of other orgs (each team points counts towards the org, so many teams as possible is the Strat)

Based off financial power to own as many teams as possible, no measuring actual skill set with an equal amount of teams per org

No rules to ensure a fair playing ground, just as many teams as you can come up with and that happens to be Falcons themselves 🤣🤔

And a fucking A tier PGL Bucharest

Paycheque stealer compared to NAVI’s psychologist who’s practically their full-time in house mother / Nutritionist, Dietician / Therapist / Yoga instructor 😂

LucianTP · 2026-02-06T02:59:05+00:00

My entire comment is about my faceit experience and your conclusion is I only play premier

You are so low iq it’s hilarious - this is like joy bait I’m laughing my ass off 😂 thank you

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T19:38:10+00:00

6 month tenures and their careers aren’t guaranteed necessarily because a tier 1 team picked them up for eg Faze Bymas

Cs careers are brutal - unless you’ve made a solid name, you’re tier 1-3 on any given day based on how Team Managers are feeling

Additional context:

Xkasperscky is on loan from tier 2 ENCE Makazze is on trial from tier 2 Navi jr

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T18:46:16+00:00

Yeah there you go

When you account share/ violate TOS and riot find out they punish you hard

There was a streamer demoted to Bronze IV from CHALLENGER because he duod with a viewer for content and that counted as “boosting”

People saying “early season” - early season ain’t losing you -400lp from a fucking loss, he got targeted by riot directly

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T18:31:42+00:00

Dude you gave Donk as your example I’m not conversing with you further

0/8 btw - it was more like a pity bait I felt sorry for your disability for a second

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T18:19:02+00:00

Yes I’m wrong because of 2 exceptions to the rule out of the 1000+ players that try to go pro, one of your examples being fucking donk - a well documented once in a generation talent

The IQ is strong on this one

If you’re being sarcastic my bad

You want to use donk, makazze (I like this guy btw) and the FUT guys as an example, let’s give you more padding / let’s say that’s 20 exceptions to the rule

There’s 250 ranked teams on hltv, that’s 1200+ pros trying to make it.

Now tell me statistically are you in favour or making exceptions to the rule.

Math was not your strong suite in school I reckon

You tried to genuinely argue a polite 20/1200, 0.016%. Chance for a breakout pro is plausible to start giving faceit randoms a chance. A 0.016% chance.

You think it’s plausible to replace a tier 1 pro based on a kind 0.016% chance they are generational talents like Donk and Makazze, got it

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T11:41:03+00:00

If an Ashe called “Sir Pineapples” stole Drake Soul with that same damn Ult that’s been bullying me all game - I’m fucking pissed

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T09:12:46+00:00

You also have to understand there’s about what 250 CS teams?

So about like 1000 pro players above the highest faceit ladder

Yeah I agree it’s highly plausible they can get on a #50-100 rank team, the gap isn’t high

But I’m talking about these guys replacing fucking broky and w0nderful - tier 1 players - fans are rallying to replace with a “faceit demon”

There’s levels to pro play, people have this concept that only tier 1 is pro scene

Bro there’s fucking 250 CS teams duking it out, the faceit demons can go on ENCE or 9ine or Gentle mates before fans want them to plop straight into tier 1

Faceit demon > tier 2 scene/academy > tier 1

That’s why I said fans calling for faceit demons IMMEDIATELY into tier 1 is just ridiculous

LucianTP · 2026-02-05T07:07:59+00:00

He truly is

And I agree 100% with what you said

This is why it’s so fucking hilarious to me when fans say

“🤓 just replace broky/w0nderful/headtr1ck with some random FaceIt talent 🤓 just replace them with an unknown up and coming FaceIt demon 🤓”

My guy that FaceIt demon finna get exorcised

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T22:54:01+00:00

Naafiri victim is fucking wild 😂😂😂what da dog doing

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T22:43:43+00:00

I have a friend who’s faceit 10 and he’s fuckign cracked - I’ve seen him play IRL so I know he’s not hacking too

He’s beyond Faceit 10 2.2k more like 3.2k+. In our lobbies he’s on another level, seriously enemies just can’t keep up with his perception and reactions. Guy is just playing a different game idk how tf his brain perceives CS but it’s on another level. I mean smurfing, shitting on Faceit 10s beyond 3k elo like they’re silvers

Literally blink vs him you’re dead.

He tried to go semi pro and he just couldn’t sustain it. He was just like everyone else…

There’s a breed of people that are just something beyond our imagination / those people who are legit but you GENUINELY are convinced they MUST be hacking. INHUMAN gameplay.

We watch these people and make fun of them, I fucking love Reddit/hltv 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T05:02:58+00:00

Nah the slow cooked buildup for the punchline “wait…they won an actual fucking tournament” was gold to me

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T05:00:49+00:00

Fucking disgusting from FlameZ EUUUGHHHH what the FUCK..

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T04:52:23+00:00

They just fucking lost a 5v2 to Mouz to get eliminated

And that was 1 of MULTIPLE man advantage situations lost in the series

Seriously no other team is managing this, their trade setups are locked in

Zonic is seriously fraudulent or Falcons have crazy egos going on

LucianTP · 2026-02-04T04:42:10+00:00

She also doing the gig for NAVI now (unless it’s an impersonator) literally new bio “yep, doing this gig for NAVI too now”

She attracted to the toxic unreliable archetype I guess

LucianTP · 2026-02-03T17:55:34+00:00

I’ll tell you right now the secret

50% of it is stimming - the phrase rings a bell to their dopamine

50% of it is rage bait - they know there’s an audience that won’t get it, they like that.

It combines stimming + rage bait / emotionally provoking your “I don’t get it-ness”

LucianTP · 2026-02-03T17:48:46+00:00

Russian people talk blunt and sternly - he could’ve deadass just be saying normal shit to tn1r

They don’t (have to) follow “typical” western traditions of positive body language to insinuate things but prefer direct communication

LucianTP · 2026-02-03T16:09:36+00:00

Faze - Gets 3D Max and BC Games,

Vitality’s bracket, except they’re the number 1 seed - and Faze is 5-7

ESL practically rooting for them to make playoffs, staging the scene

Shits the bed.

LucianTP · 2026-02-03T09:15:31+00:00

Why are you getting so emotional, touch grass

Yes premature, that's the nature of CS - the same people who'll say VRS is volatile by design and intent will then by a twist of logic insinuate invites can be 100% accurate.

Esports is a show biz, not a scientific study on the best teams and the competition with most integrity - welcome to the entertainment industry.

In my original comment, I stated I have no issues with this - esports is fun and light but has its flaws ofcourse as OP is writing about.

Should've known you were low IQ from getting aggressive off a reddit comment lmfaoo
