I AD....just never C. Advice?

Lol. I started playing some Jinx recently. Here are my matches with her. Only problem is I always seem to lose. Any other adc mains able to give me the final piece of advice that would let me win these games? Also I know my CS scores are low, but to be honest I wasn't taking too much farm in the last few games in hopes that giving my teammates the gold would help them, especially since I had a decent amount of kills.

This is probably the Opposite mind set you should have. The ADC should be Greedy (but not insane). Especially for Jinx since she is a hyper carry. You would need gold to scale late.

most of those games I had the core items, if not close to a full build though. I find with Jinx once I have IE Shiv and LW, everything else is kind of icing on the cake. I guess I could try it out though, get even more items.

It's not Just about how getting your full build. it's how fast. If you get your IE, shiv, LW, well before the enemy ADC. You will be in good shape.

Learn other ADC to help your match ups. Let people have their role, even if it implies giving up your ADC role, learn other roles, ward, call the shots (objectives) after each kills.

People tend to forget that score is a thing, objectives are another. And they also tend to forget that you are not alone in a game.

I do know other ADC's actually. Graves and Cait :)

I'm also a support main so I usually have no problem letting people play what they want. I always try and keep wards up. I suppose I could try and call more things out though. I'm not much of a shot caller.

It's a hard thing to learn honnestly. (And probably why I'm at 13W-2L in ranked too)

People focus so much on individual performance that they tend to forget the overall picture. Ending up in stupid tower dives/dragons/barons.

If you figure this one out you'll be climbing pretty quickly, I'm pretty sure.

I've noticed this a lot. It is really hard to call someone off chasing a weak enemy instead of taking an objective. I hate going alone as the adc because it opens the chance of getting picked off. Especially once you are fed your team kind of relies on you to keep the enemy in check.

You have to make it clear using the least pings possible (so you can repeat it if necessary). But yeah, I know it's hard to keep kids from running around without caring ;)

Seems like the only thing you are MAYBE doing wrong is late game decision making. You have to go to the right objectives at the right time to close out a game. Your numbers and builds look great.

I think a lot of those games where us playing from behind, even though I was fed as the ADC, there was a bigger threat on the enemy team. I did notice our objective control was terrible. We had a really hard time pushing lanes mostly because the enemy would keep constant pressure on us and I wasn't sure how to turn that around.

Yeah. I play adc a lot, too, and I actually find it VERY hard to carry from there. You can't make big decision and lead the team because you are squishy, etc. A good tank, or at least a good support, is absolutely essential to carry those games.

It can help a lot if you learn how to kinda lead your team in chat. It can be hard, and doesn't always work. You also have to make sure to buy wards to help your team make those calls. Since you can't facecheck yourself, pretty much no matter what, you've got to help contribute to vision.

If you're doing those things, that's the best you can do. If you're the only good player on your team, you can't carry. Team too heavy. Sometimes it happens.

I am probably not the best person to give you advice (I'm Bronze5) . Lets focus on your mental side, not skill shall we? So the most important thing for me in a league game is communication. I play adc myself and i have to say that i mostly get fed because i have good communication with my support. For Cs the most important thing is that if you get into a fight with a teammate or enemy don't reply back focus on farming not on the chat! cause i now when someone is typing they are standing still loosing farm. 2nd you have to understand that you are not perfect, you will make mistakes and you teammates will also. Accept that and dont rage at anyone it will just make them care less about the game. Do not mute if someone id being toxic, yes he might be annoying, but you still need communication. DO not all chat anything negative about your team, do not say negative stuff about you team in general, it will lead to the other team gaining confidence that they are better and will lead no no good communication in your team. If there is a harasser just ignore him, not mute him you still might need to say to him something, and do not let yourself turn toxic! it will get you in trouble people will mute you you will not play that well and loose! Hopefully these tips come in hand i f you need more help here is my page on how to act in a lolgame

Yeah I understand all this.

I've mellowed out compared to last season and I don't think i've once raged at anyone.
