ADC is useless in Silver

Corrupt Oath··4 votes·1,720 views

I get myself fed, I position well, and then some 1/8 midlaner Can stil lone shot me and zones me out of fights while my feeding team goes in one at a time.

I want some damn control over my games as adc this is bs. Sure it's strong, probably very strong in high elo, but it;s unplayable in silver.

Shit like this still happens in platinum+, lol. People are gonna be boosted no matter where you go.

Pretty much. You need protection after early/mid game and teams in silver rarely afford that. The key to winning is getting so fed that it does not matter.

I think we just need a slight range buff or a movespeed buff or something, cait's range should be a minimum. I mean shit even twitch's spray and prey leaves u vulnerable to so much.

You can barely walk up and poke a nasus with an auto attack without him killing you. There isn't any kiting.

I mean honestly twitches spray and pray should not leave you very vulnerable. You just need a team that peals off tanky divers.

You need "a team that peels" that is my point. You don't get help in low elo.

Yes, you don't get help but there are things you can do to circumvent that. You can try coming to fights a few seconds late so that likely the enemy team blew all their spells on your tank or some other squishy and just clean up. That is what master Yi does best, that is what a lot of ADC are good for especially in low elo.

Adding range to an adc to "cait minimum" is just asking for abuse by higher tier players. It would turn the game into "feed the adc and win, don't and lose"

Top 3 ADC's: Jinx, Sivir, Vayne

Jinx Plat+: 53.6% winrate Silver+: 53.7% winrate

Sivir Plat+: 52.0% Silver+: 52.3%

Vayne Plat+: 51.7% Silver+: 51.3%

Their difference in terms of average influence on the game when we lower the minimum rank is extremely small, less than half a percent, in all 3 cases. The only one who's winrate falls is Vayne which is expected as she is one of the more mechanically difficult adc's in the game.

The statistics seem to indicate ADC's as a class are balanced very well across play tiers with little to no change in their ability to influence the game.

Anything team reliant is trash in low elo, so its not surprising adc is bad there.

same can happen mid lane, get tons of kills roam and all that then you become enemy most important target that you take 3 ultis in the face and they kill your team after without needing those ultis.

or top lane or even junglers , of course you cant win it all but you can try to have the biggest impact possible in every game and on average you should win more then you lose (by impact im not talking about kda/cs alone but sometimes map pressure/control like forcing the enemy team to bring more to kill you in lane)

It's literally every game now I leave lane 4/0/3 just now only to have to deal with a fed mid top and jungle who I literally need to build full tank just to survive ONE of their abilities, and even if I continue building last whisper and other damage items (I can't even dink their fed nasus). It's pathetic riot needs to stop babysitting people from adc (when in realy they are just pissed we outplay and kite them)./

So, you, one person got feed in your team

While them, 3 people, got feed in their team. and somehow you still want to win.

What the fuck????? It makes sense that if your team can't protect you, that you die and lose the game. if you got 10k gold. And 3 enemies also have 10k gold, and you don't outplay them.

Then you deserve to lose.

So basically the problem is that there are too many boosted players who feed now not that adc is underpowered?
