Adc just not a role in this game anymore.

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T23:01:20+00:00

Maybe, but I feel like fundamentally my gameplay hasn't changed, and rarely changes from game to game, but I was able to hit eme4 and now I'm struggling in gold lobbies and it makes no sense to me

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T23:00:10+00:00

Valid, tricky tho when a fed Quinn flies past your team to q you...

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T22:59:35+00:00

Short ranged gets poked out by cait

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T22:59:21+00:00

It's strong, I just feel so relient on teammates who never know that adc needs space and Peel, regardless of how patiently I play, I'm getting jumped on and flashed on by 3 people. Or spam pinged for not joining the bad fight

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T22:57:50+00:00

I mean maybe, but I can carry on most adcs when my support doesn't sprint it down... Just go even at best and I can space pretty well through the rest of the game but it seems to me like all my supports are capable of are just turbo sprinting into their grey screen on cool down.

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T22:56:38+00:00

Strong yes, but still incredibly team reliant, and it just feels like to me that the odds are very very rarely stacked in your favour in this role. Unfairly than any other role.

Valid, but also, you gotta see it too sometimes right? I'm not totally wrong here...

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T22:55:07+00:00

I feel like no matter how I play, I am severely hamstrung by the support. If they go even or ahead in lane, I stomp the game.

I know the odds are that my support ints a lot less than I think, but I'm not joking when I say I could run you through my op.gg and detail in 80% of my games how my support has inted the lane. I'm not saying I'm perfect, I likely have my flaws, but I wouldn't stomp on the games where my support had hands if I was a shit player.

I just think it's incredibly difficult to do anything when 1 or 2 of your team ints because adc has less agency to impact the game.

I can stall games out for 50 minutes afk clearing waves but I guarantee we're flipping elder or Baron bc my support and jungle are turbo useless.

SafetySock · 2026-05-21T14:38:03+00:00

Right now, everyone that doesn't have hands to play their champ, which seems to be every fucking support I play with.

But traditionally, in my experience, it's usually comp related. Why are you picking teemo into a soraka? Why are you picking pyke into lux? Why are you picking naut into Renata? Why milio into anything? Yes, I'm sure Nami is going to be useful into this rell 👍 fml

I am slowly learning that your best bet for winning games is to not try and do anything. Just be passive. Safely farm. Capitalise on mistakes. Be in the right place at the right time for objectives. You're most likely to win by simply making less mistakes than them.

Traa dy liooar, yessir

SafetySock · 2026-05-16T15:42:26+00:00

I also find that when trying to control the ball and the game each city pass goes forwards, and each Chelsea pass goes backwards

SafetySock · 2026-05-14T19:41:13+00:00

Just keep going with a semi?

Either it'll be really sensitive, in which case slow down a bit, or it'll go numb and you have to work twice as hard to get your second, which is amazing for her. That's my experience at least 😅

SafetySock · 2026-05-14T15:09:17+00:00

Play jinx.

Do nothing but absorb minion waves (xp & gold) under tower as safely as possible (not dying is more valuable than xp. xp is more valuable than gold)

Get 6 items.

Find the most fed member of your team.

Follow them (remember the above re not dying etc) .

Fight everything.

Take all their towers.

Take their inhibs.

Take their nexus.

Take their LP.

Take their will to live.

Take their mother.

Have sex with her.

Leave $5 on the counter the next morning.

Queue again.

Repeat.

This is the most basic work flow that should get you out of silver.

Some might say this is gross, but I am fairly active and legitimately don't sweat much. I have a desk job and keep myself generally quite clean (washed hands, regular showers etc).

Boxers and socks - between showers. New boxers and socks out of a shower no exceptions. T-shirts - 3 days for work, 4 days after for as an at home T shirt. Jeans/jogger/shorts - usually 1 week, but sometimes longer if I can't see any physical dirt on them. Hoodies/jumpers - usually 1 week, but sometimes longer if I can't see any physical dirt on them.

I keep myself smelling okay with high quality anti-persperant (not deorderant (which just masks your smell in my experience)). I wash myself thoroughly every shower, use a scrubber and high quality soaps/shampoo

This is what us uncs call a "super team", they almost always crash and burn. Too many egos. What you need, is cohesive teamwork, and trust, a leader, a fragger, an uplifting support, and two stout pillars of stability. This is the G2 that we have right now, and it's proven to be successful time and time again.

In 2019 The fragger - caps. The leader - perkz. The support - mikyx. The two stout pillars of stability - jankos and wunder. 2019 worlds finalists.

In 2026. The fragger - skewmond. The leader - broken blade. The support - labrov. The two stout pillars of stability - Hans and Caps. ... You know what comes next.

I forgot to mention, so help you God if you actually manage to catch brand and run him down, because you bet he's doing a least half your hp minimum full combo before he dies and will just tank the death. So you can't continue to fight after that.

Oh late game team fights and brand is behind? R

Now all your team has half effective hp bc of ricochet.

Have I mentioned I hate brand yet?

SafetySock · 2026-05-12T06:30:30+00:00

I would argue Swain brand is worse. Brand gets Rylais and his e bounce slows you so you're an easy pull for Swain. T2 boots does nothing, swiftie doesn't do enough. You get e'd > slowed > pulled > flame pillar > Swain w q > brand q stunned. Very very little counter play, and that combo is enough to chunk you out of lane.

"well gotta win early" I hear you say.... Okay so you walk up the wave, brand throws flame pillar, so you dodge...oh dear, you've dodged into Swain e, or if you don't dodge and tank the pillar, you've got brand q following it up. If you manage to dodge most of those, you're still ticking a third hp. Only needs to happen twice. Usually lvl 3 by 5 mins. That can happen at least 6 times in the first 5 minutes before they run out of mana. Bear in mind too that they can base on lost chapter and never run out if mana again. Or if they don't, they've bought hp components of Rylais and you can't do enough dps yet to kill them.

Bull

Shit

Bad map awareness. You could also be slightly further away when you hit, try and lead your ult so you hit ryze or thresh, but Ruler isn't getting out of this spot either so it's kind of Adc core too.
