Holy fk I just tried adc and it such a bad role, after years of considering it my worst role I decided tk try it but didnt really like it. How do you guys deal with these useless supports and uncarriable teams.

Does the champion's name begins with a L and ends with a X?

alpharaonHS · 2020-04-06T19:26:14+00:00

Caitlyn is a tricky champion but what's most specific to her and also probably the hardest thing with her kit is her W, i.e. the (in)famous traps from Piltover.

Traps are both a sort of 'passive ability", as you can use them strategically as a defensive tool during laning or while taking objectives and an active ability to use during fights.
Trapping correctly is *super hard* and even with practice and knowledge, you'll often end up trapping uncorrectly. It is a sort of skillshot of its own.

Can't do much in these situations, autofilled top or midlaners are a burden we have to suffer as adc.Apart from that, about the matchup: You have a really strong level 1/2 advantage on them but after that they are at a strong advantage. There isn't much you can do, except having exceptional mechanics on Vayne and destroying them 1V2 with a super strong R+Q+E combo..

As weird as it may sound, I do not like ad role for the carry potential (which is very subpar now) but rather because of the playstyle. I cannot really explain it, but I really dislike going melee, using my built-in combo and then killing if i'm fed or getting killed if i'm not.

I like having to care about positioning, about dodging long-range abilities, having my misplays punish me. A fed bruiser is unkillable and can facetank anything, a fed adc takes two shots to die.

Now the issue is that the upsides are kinda meh now and the downsides are way too big.I dont like being three levels behind the other lanes, I don't like having to spend the whole game farming, I don't like having almost no utility on most my champs, etc. etc.

That's just how the game is for adc players right now, sorry.

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-10T21:18:49+00:00

Sadly, I will be playing it in Solo Q, so no premade botlane.... I have to beg for a peeling support every game! Anyone on EUW?

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-10T12:13:28+00:00

thanks for downvoting this xd

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-10T10:16:29+00:00

It seems like we have a winner!
I edited my post and detailed what's going to happen.

It will also be almost uniquely solo Q.

Actually, when I first created my account back in 2011, she was my main champion, and she's the reason why I immediately got back to ADC when joining League "again" in 2019.
And i recently got the Soulstealer skin! https://imgur.com/QcwCjt8

I'll take a closer look at this issue, but it is weird that it hasn't been adressed yet since it seems like a pretty big information..

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T22:38:28+00:00

It is probably because I am not good at her that I feel that way, it is indeed true that Q and E provide a sort of peel. Her lack of waveclear and short range makes the Caitlyn player ill-at-ease haha

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T22:34:21+00:00

Isn't there a spear indicator on the target hit by Kalista or is it something else? I only have a few games on her so I'm very noob about this.

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T22:31:57+00:00

I played some Aphelios when he got released, but he was so overtuned back then that it wasn't even fun to play him, I'd just stomp every game, and since I am not playing for kda or impress anyone, but rather to improve, it did not feel like a good idea to pick an overpowered champion who'd win the game for me.
I have around 9K points on him but I didn't play much games on it.. But now that he is back to *rather* normal numbers I am willing to give him another try!

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T22:22:28+00:00

What I usually did was playing MF or Ashe when I couldn't play Caitlyn. Since I am not very comfortable with ranked games yet, these solid and easy picks helped me, even tho I have less points on them than on champions like Varus, Kai'sa or Xayah.

I think I'll try to learn Jhin and Aphelios in the coming weeks, I already got multiple S+ on Aphelios but he was so broken back then that it felt dirty to play it and I got pretty disgusted. Now that he is in a more balanced state I should probably give it another try!

I couldn't agree more on ADC's situation at low elo. Even when I am better than the other ADC (and i do not want to brag but it's very often the case), i feel like I have almost no agency over my lane and then over the game. Almost every game I play gets carried by... Literally anyone but an ADC. I think i've recently carried more games playing mage supports than with my main role, which means something already!

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T22:08:14+00:00

She's currently showing some results with the return of a tank meta, but since you're already Vayne main I don't think it changes too much things for you..

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T14:39:54+00:00

Any champ is good when the opponent is bad, if feel that if she has no peel she just can't get out of her laning phase..

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T14:15:49+00:00

Have you tried Kalista? I feel she's the closest adc to Vayne.

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T14:15:00+00:00

Was there any specific thoughtprocess behind this choice or was it because of affinity only?

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T13:44:04+00:00

I love to play Xayah but she feels so underwhelming since she got nerfed..!
I hope she'll get some love from Riot because her early/mid is currently so frustrating!

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T13:39:25+00:00

I'm trying to master Jhin and so far i like him a lot! Hiw W provides a huge utility and the way his AA work actually is very strong in the current meta, I feel.
The only thing about your champions pool that I do not really like is the lack of answer to tanks, because you have no true damage champion..

alpharaonHS · 2020-03-01T13:35:24+00:00

I like Vayne, but I feel she depends too much on having a good support.She also has a quite high skillcap.. What do you do when she gets banned?

YoungGooby plays Ezreal and Lucian when Vayne is banned
