The pain of adc in bronze

This is coming from the eyes of a gold 5 support main so realize I am not diamond/master/challenger but I have played many games in low elo. I can't believe how painful it was to play adc yesterday. My last game I picked Lucian because well Lucian and I find him fun to play. I remember having many big games on him back in season 4 and am starting to pick him back up again. Now from my prior memory of messing around in bronze I knew "get as many kills early so you get ahead and can carry hard". Granted its a similar mindset in most games and elos but in bronze aka team deathmatch early kills are very important especially on adc. Now... I was against a Jinx who did her thing of not really moving in lane... just kind of sitting there csing. She had Taric support while I had Nautilus . I was excited because I really like Nautilus and I actually have been maining him support this season. I was getting some nice poke on Jinx but every once in awhile I would get stunned by Taric and take some damage. Not really sure what Nautilus was doing I just remember me being confused by why he was so passive and him confused on why I was being so aggressive. Either way we were not on the same page. After a gank and killing Taric I went back and got item 1038. Jinx still sat in lane farming so I was laughing when I got back because all she had was item 1055. Not sure why she didnt back but w/e my thought now is "lets kill her!". Well... Nautilus wasn't feeling that and needless to say I made some bad plays a died a couple of times at least later on. Anyways somehow this jinx who just sat in one spot got super fed and just sat in the back lines all game auto attacking getting kills while I was being dived by Udyr Tryndamere Diana. Needless to say it was gg and I could not do much and peel did not exist.

I realize it was just one game but damn was it annoying. Then second game went mid and had bot lane give up two kills and both go afk..... haha not sure the last time I saw that.

After that it was a Jax item 3124 item 1403 game to take out my newly created frustration on.

Also, why am I getting 25-26 lp a win when my record is 2-15? If anyone deserves bronze 5 it is clearly me!

The pain of an adc in bronze is the pain he inflicts on his own support/team by being absolute garbage.

I have started playing extremely aggresive support nowadays, but yeah no one actually expects me to flash hook someone, even if i do it all the time.

just go Morgana and get a bunch of kills. Her snare so long even the worst adcs can still get some kills.

This is why I stopped maining ADC. I was stuck at silver 5-4 as ADC. Now as a jungle main I've climbed to Gold 3 and have had multiple people compliment me on my Nidalee and asking if I'm a smurf. I would say that if you want to play ADC in bronze the best possible picks would have to be ezreal and Kalista. I'm saying that you should only play them if you're skilled mechanically though. If you don't have the mechanics, don't main ADC in bronze.

I couldn't get past silver 2/3 as adc so I stopped. I like to fill but nowadays that means support. I usually play mid/supp/jungle and only adc once in a great while. I just remember playing in bronze last season for awhile and playing MissFortune before she was reworked and getting 20+ kills a game. Thought I could do that again but I got wrecked instead haha.

thats not a bronze problem, thats a soloQ problem. It can happen at any elo that adc and support are not on the same page, and if they aren't but their opponents are, they will loose lane rather hard, as bot lane is more about how well adc and sup work together than about how well each of them is individually.

Definitely true.

It's never the support's fault, adc scum.
