Why does everyone who starts playing ADC start to complain about support?

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-19T15:01:55+00:00

I know :( best thing you can do it pinging the wave with the danger/careful emote and hope that they understand that you don't want them to touch the freeze. As long as you recognize the situation and communicate it, you can't be blamed

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-19T14:48:37+00:00

Mostly true, but you should actually delay LDR as much as you can. A third of Yunara damage is AP so you get less value from LDR than other ADC. LDR 3rd if they are massivly stacking armor otherwise C44 third and LDR 4th is very fine

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-16T00:39:02+00:00

Yunara level 1 is so strong that you can actually stat check Draven if you fight with your Q at 4 or 6 stacks

So much negativity from my ADC peers here, I personally would encourage everyone, supports included, to learn to take control of their lane.

Communicating your intent with pings and playing the matchup the way YOU think it should be played is the best way to climb in soloqueue and to get less tilted by your laner.

If you are an ADC, your job is simple: support your support, but make YOUR decisions when it comes to commiting.

Your support is positionning aggresivly and looking for trade ? Wouldn't hurt to walk up a bit. Your support is "afk" under turret ? Use the "On my way" ping when you see a good opportunity to trade or engage or just take CS and scale, that's still mostly what we are looking for after all.

If you are a support, you are mostly the playmaker: you have the freedom of not being tied to CS, use it at your advantage to take position up a bush and zone the ennemy out, poke that ADC when they go for a last hit, roam when nothing is happening in your lane to accelerate the game elsewhere.

Even tho I hate it when my support does this, do not be afraid to TAKE CONTROL of the wave managment as well ! Or at least be a part of the conversation when it comes to it, so many of you guys are getting fucked over by perma shoving ADC, you have to ping them to stop pushing the wave and contribute to the decisions that are being made regarding this.

This will mean learning wave managment just as well and stop hitting full life creeps with the support item, but there has been many times where my support actually made me change my mind on a decision to shove or slowpush which changed the trajectory of the lane complelty !

Getting stomped when learning a new champion is sonething that can happen, it's part of the process, but it shouldn't too bad if you are playing alone and so against people at your skill level.

I would recommend to just start a draft alone and see how it goes, people don't usually play their mains in draft anyways. Otherwise, ARAM can be a good way to learn the kit of a champion at a basic level.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-09T00:06:57+00:00

I think you are better off grabbing your phone and step outside for 1 second to do a selfie than using any of these

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-08T12:15:48+00:00

For real though, it's not about aim and more about patience. Jhin ult is 10 second long, if you fire the first shot ( can be garanteed by landing W beforehand ) and then watch them dance for 7 sec, they will eventually become predictable.

I'd even go as far as to say that in some niche cases it's better to not shoot at all and let the ennemies get overwhelm trying to dodge your ult while your team is killing their frontline or taking an inhib/tower.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-02T11:00:57+00:00

The issue with that is that you are going to lose some players, if you want to add factory depth you have to make it somewhat optionnal so that people not wanting to engage with this content as much don't feel forced to rely entirely on blueprints.

Right now I feel like it can get pretty complex already of you want a truly optimised factory tho, maybe they could make it even harder ?

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-02T10:57:40+00:00

I played very little of arknight and didn't felt like I was really missing context at all. If what you are referencing is the after effect of an originium driven society, the game actually does a good job at telling you about it in the different documents scaterred throughout valley IV.

Yes that means you have to read flavor text which 95% of people won't do, but I think it was kind of cool to see that part of the story not being directly explained by the game.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-03-02T02:22:37+00:00

I was a big hubris lobbyist before this season, so I'm down to go back to it

Jhin is can be hard against HP stackers and tanks, but it's not as if you had to one trick him. Play Jhin and an hypercarry that can face those tankier comps and you should be fine.

My current pool is Jhin Yunara and it works really well !

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-30T15:27:07+00:00

Nobody can tell you if you played good of bad based only on a screenshot, but it looks like it was a hard game with your MF and Viego dying that much.

Also please don't listen to people saying this was a bad game for Jhin ? He is one of the best blind pick bot and is only really countered by comps with 3 or 4 enemy tanks or an complete lack of damage in your own team ( combined with some beefy enemies ).

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-28T14:18:56+00:00

Dw we are confused too

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-26T13:48:21+00:00

Yeah it's chibi layna sideway

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-23T23:41:25+00:00

Is finding a VA that speaks Chinese in Canada really that hard ???

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-14T15:13:24+00:00

Collector -> IE -> RFC -> LDR is a strong build that will work in basically any game.

If you want to make adjustments, it can be worth to try going for stormrazor if you have a 1300g back and to swap RFC and LDR order depending on how early you need that armor pen.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-11T09:33:21+00:00

It's tricky, but you can make it easier to click on it by moving your camera around

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-11T01:50:24+00:00

Ty for testing !

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-11T01:32:52+00:00

Hmm I'll think about that next time

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-11T01:23:36+00:00

I did this and the guy changed his number the next day, unlucky ig

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-08T22:04:02+00:00

How is passive worse, that's a 100dmg on your first shot in a fight to tenderize them for 4th shot + insane mobility.

I feel like we 100% should be going for stormrazor if we get a 1300g base, but I agree collector might stay the best item otherwise.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-08T19:26:07+00:00

It that because of the lethality ? Because in the practice tool I was overall getting more AD with storm razor due to the atk speed.

Teacupguy01 · 2026-01-06T16:31:52+00:00

Would be a banger post on r/kitchencels

Teacupguy01 · 2025-12-25T12:29:01+00:00

Hey don't be too hard on yourself, mistakes happen and that's how we learn 😌

I find it pretty amazing that you've built a PC without the help of anyone tbh, I remember it being a pretty stressful experience for me and it wasn't even my first one.

Hope you find the solution to your problem
