In my opinion the hardest roles in leauge in descending order would be ; ADC. JG. MID. TOP. SUPP

My thinking is that adc requires the most skill out of these roles, positioning and pure mechanical skill. ADC's also have a hard time coming back into game and if u get behind usually can only do dmg till late game unlike other roles where they can still have utility etc. From my experince playing all the roles adc is the hardest. Every other role i find quite easy but maybe im a dirty biased ADC main.

Jungle and support imo are hardest. Most players depend heavily on these roles and they also take the most shit, it's a thankless job carrying from the background

Support is easily the hardest role. Many assume the opposite bc support is the very definition of doing all of the work and getting none of the glory.

Supports need to be mechanically skilled, good shot callers -> knowing when to or not to make plays, and which plays and when, provide the majority of team vision, pay attention to the mini map to predict roams and jungle rotations, babysit their adc/mid laners as needed, and vary their build more than any other role to fit the team's needs. On top of that, a lot of supports will play games where 5 out of 6 item slots have actives, so on top of their skills they are managing cd's for 5 more shields/heals/cc's etc. A support knows more about your role than you do. While you keep tabs on your cs count they keep tabs on the entire match.

It requires the most effort and is a thankless job.

Can't tell you how many times I am the reason the adc gets fed and goes something like 14/2/6, where I am 2/2/29 but the ADC gets all the credit and honor.

It all depends on ELO

For example, in low ELO Jungling is probably easiest, you dont need to worry about invades and coutnerjungling, when you gank chance to be counterganked is low as opponent never thinks about it, opponents rarely ward,its basically walk in the park. However in higher ELO jungling is most complicated role because there are tons of things you need to be aware of: you need to constantly change routes, devise strategies to gank, constantly watch lanes to see when they ward, time their wards, be prepared for counterganks, for invades, for counterjungling, its easy to fall behind.

ADC on the other hand is hardest to play in low ELO as noone will play around you, they wont peel for you.... While in high ELO its easy to play ADC as people will protect you, they will make sure you are able to maximize damage output on enemy.

With support, you either do nothing, and your ADC has a really tough job, or you make plays and risk setting the ADC even further behind. It's generally more difficult to carry as support than as any other role, but if you do carry, it's better than with any other role.

Easy to play, but really hard to actually be valuable. You need to know when and where to ward, when and where to scan for wards. You spend a lot of gold on wards, because nobody else wants to buy more than 1 control ward over the course of the game, if that. If you don't have perfect warding, you'll be called out on it; even if you have 4 wards down, if they aren't in all the right places, people will complain that you don't ward enough.

Worst of all, if your ADC is incompetent, your job is instantly 10 times harder.

By far the hardest role to master.

support is the easiest to play, but the hardest to do good in.

you can't really carry as a support you are only as good as your adc.

top lane is the hard role, everything else is for babies

adc is mechanically hard while jungle is metagame hard. By metagame. I mean controlling the flow of the entire map, vs adc control of the lane.

All lanes are hard if you are against good opponents, even if you are good on your champion.
