ADC is a stressful role

Hi, I'm Cilllller, an ADC main for ~3 seasons now, and I have to say that it's a stressful role.

You get flamed by everyone and everything if you make a mistake. You can be the sole carry on a team, but the instant you make a mistake, you're the worst thing to ever exist
For whatever reason, we(as well as jungle) are the punching bag of the community. Supports criticize us the most, interestingly enough. It sucks, honestly, because we always get hate for being "toxic players" and whatnot. I feel that is not deserved, as most ADCs I run into are generally nice people.
I can argue that it is one of the most mechanically intensive roles, and it sucks. If your mechanics are not up to par, you lose, you can't rely as much on game knowledge like other roles can. No matter how much game knowledge you have, it's not going to let you kite out 3 juggernauts, etc.

Can we just stop pointing fingers at particular champion roles? At this point I'd rather go back to individual champion OP threads than this segregation based on what you play.

I'm a tank main. I don't hate ADC players, I just hate assholes, which belong to every class. I have my grips on other classes, but not enough to just target them and call them the problem with league.

And granted I have in the past done that. I'm not perfect. But such an attitude should be looked down upon, not supported.

You're right, every class has assholes, but I always see more ADC hate threads than any other, and it kind of annoys me, as an ADC main

I have the same feeling towards tank hate threads (double if it turns out to be a juggernaut hate thread).

Honestly you should take it with a grain of salt. The community here is not a good sample size of the actual playerbase.

You're right, and I hate every last hate thread, just ADC ones more. Each role is necessary, none deserves hate, and honestly, no one class tilts me. ( Zed isn't a class of champions, so that doesn't count)

Yeah true, and even with all that, you get no peel, you need to kite their tank and when you die its your fault. Kinda annoying tho.

It is, I agree. Practically everything can beat the snot out you if they can see the whites of your eyes, and there's only so much peel even the best support can bring. I really feel for low mobility ADCs that have next to nothing to turn to when it comes to fighting off all the MLG mid lane assassins :/ ("Look at Zed 'outplay' that Varus who had no way to really fight back, woo")
