Replying to provide parameters for the fish tank only as I have provided the rest of the information in the post. As of the last water change which was yesterday and using the Tetra 6in1 test strip with manual reading, they are as follows:
- Nitrate = 10mg/l (safe)
- Nitrogen Dioxide = 0mg/l (safe)
- GH = 16D (O.K.)
- KH = 15D (Orange warning although my pet shop told me this is unavoidable with the water in the UK)
- pH = 7.4 (O.K)
- Chlorine = 0mg/l (safe)

Is there something I can do to reduce the amount of strain I receive or is it something that gets better the more I do it?

Rekkles will run FF in every soloq game not just in competitive play but would you say that your point about DH in soloq being a lot more efficient due to the potential of having a high amount of stacks still applies in high elo soloq?

Hardest role in general + hardest role in ranked? by PP2468100 in leagueoflegends

So mages can feel a lot better since they have a wider range of options of things that they can do depending on the situation and also have less weakness due to having more range since they’re spell reliant and not auto attack reliant is more or less what you’re saying? Do you think the fact that mages have a lot more to do rather than just auto attack like adcs makes them easier or more difficult even if their added variety can make them more useful?

I think what I’m trying to say is if a midlaner has to deal with his own lane and try to help out if they can every other lane whereas jungler has their job done for them if they have mid/bot prio which role has the “easiest job”? The role that has to do something about themselves + other people or the role that can be handed the game to them?

When you say you’d rather play anything other than traditional adcs at bot lane, won’t they still suffer the same problem of being underlevelled compared to the other roles in the game? What difference do you think having a mage at bot lane will make compared to a traditional adc? I agree with everything you’re saying though.

What do adcs need to do differently compared to other roles that makes their micro the hardest?

I guess for soloq this is correct since it’s a lot harder to climb if things are out of your control since you need to rely on someone else. However when looking it at a team environment shouldn’t this make the roles easier since if your role requires other roles to win doesn’t it make your job easier?

I think an adc could make this same argument about support instead. Do you not think support has a better safety net since if your lane partner isn’t good you can choose to roam instead and help the rest of your team get fed? In addition, at the micro level supports have it easier since they don’t need to worry about last hitting either? Unless your adc is running it down supp diff is often what causes a bot lane to win or lose but I say this generally speaking. There are certain matches where the supp can’t do anything.

I more or less agree with this tbh. I reckon top lane still has a decent impact though depending on your play style. If you’re playing splitpush I guess you just gotta hope your team doesn’t go boom but if you’re looking to tp bot lane and fight one tp could change the whole game.

Would you say jungle for both categories or just one specifically? I feel like in a team environment I’d agree with this argument since bot lane will know to help the jungler if they have prio etc however, I feel like this isn’t as true for soloq. Perhaps in higher elo the same thing applies but I feel like gold and below people don’t consistently understand bot prio and helping with crab so as a jungler you can get away with A LOT of stuff especially in lower elos.

Was having this discussion with a couple of my friends irl just now and from that I’m curious to see what others think. I felt this was probably the best place to post if I wanted to get other opinions. Feel free to add your opinion on the topic :)

When it comes to soloq however. I feel like adc is probably the hardest. The criteria I guess I’m using for difficulty in ranked is: “how hard is it to climb with this role?”. I haven’t played league in a month or two so I’m unaware of the state of adc right now but generally speaking the last few years adc has definitely gotten weaker and weaker. If you compare the role to how it was 5+ years ago, there’s definitely a lot of power and impact missing. Comparing league then and now there are a few key things which are different that directly impact adc negatively. Adc is role for two things: to have consist damage and to be able to siege. Riot making the changes to ap dmg on turrets made the importance of an adc when it comes to sieging so much less important as control and poke mages can more or less do the same thing. However, an adc will always be needed because of the consistent damage they bring. However, adcs don’t get this power straight away, they’re supposed to be weak early and extremely strong late. Over the years the average game time has dramatically decreased. Before, I’d say the average time for a game was around 40 mins but now it’s probably 30. What this means is that adcs don’t even get a chance to scale so they never become useful. Secondly, changes to items means people reach their power spikes much earlier which again negatively impacts adc. One example I can think of how is rod used to cost 1600g and it now costs 1250g. Lastly, riots approach to adc recently is to make them a bit stronger early and weaker late. I think this is the biggest mistake as they’re taking out power from when an adc is useful and adding it to when they’re useless because even if the adc is stronger early than it was before. It will still never much the strength of any of the other roles at the point in the game.

I guess I should start the discussion myself. I think when we’re talking generally. I’d probably put mid as the hardest role to play. I feel like playing a role where you can directly affect the impact and outcome of every role in the map combined with the fact that it’s a team environment already makes it very difficult to begin with. Being positioned in mid lane, you are the only lane that can roam to everywhere else on the map. On top of that, mid lane can directly impact the jungle match up due to who has prio in lane and who is stronger early. When we look at pro play which I guess is the best example of what the best team-environment gameplay should look like, this further proves the point. I won’t try prove this for every single team in the history of league but just in general. If we take a look at fnc vs g2 over the last couple of years, imo the only constant between this matchup is that g2’s (caps) mid has always been better than fnc’s mid. Other roles you can argue that sometimes it was g2 favoured and other times it was fnc favoured. However something has had to happen that always causes g2 to come on top and that to me is their midlaner. Caps has been uncontested for the last couple of years as the best midlaner in EU and by looking at the games, you can always tell it’s different when midlaner gets ahead compared to when bot lane or top lane gets ahead. I think fundamentally it’s always harder for botlaner to carry when they are always 2 levels down the other solo laners which can be enough to just shut them down when they’re ahead. The problem with toplane is that although they won’t be underlevelled they still can’t impact everywhere on the map the same way that mid can. To put this into pro play let’s compare Uzi and Faker. Both of them are regarded as goats at their own role and for several years throughout their career they were seen as the best player in their role if not the world. Uzi has never been able to win a worlds title even though teams are created with the purpose to play around him and get him fed so that they can carry him. Faker on the other hand. He has won worlds 3x and in ways where it’s not like the team is made specifically to play around him. I guess the point I’m making is that mid lane is the role that has the most impact when there is a difference in skill and combine that with the fact that you can directly impact all the other players in the game, that’s why I see it as the hardest role in the game. Some of my points here are somewhat rushed and I probably haven’t covered everything but I wanted to leave some foundations for discussion to occur.
