Another thing I dislike about current season gameplay.

Is that no matter how good your team is, if your key damage dealer (adc) is garbage, and the opponents teams adc is good, you will lose. I've lost count of how many times a game that should have been a faceroll turned into an extended bloodbath to end up in a loss because my teams adc still hasn't grasped the basics of positioning and orbwalking, map awareness (keeps getting caught, overextending etc). To make matters worse, since ADC are the megacarries of this season, more so than earlier season, every skill-less sucker thinks he's gonna lock it and easy carry, as an ex-adc main, let me tell you something, playing adc ain't easy, I wish people would get that through their skulls and actually brush up on their skills before bringing their subpar play to ranked.

So you are going to win everything from now if you queue up with a friend, 1 takes adc main and 1 adc second. Means your chance for adc is very high and you can carry yourself.

I must be lucky with my matches because my adcs must be insane so they can carry my Twisted fate 9/4/6 or 6/1/11. Because midlaners dont deal damage.

I don't main adc anymore and I haven't practiced it in a while so hardly think I'd hold up that well. I'm not saying I'm some kind of God at this game, I am fully aware I'm not.

I'm saying that in the current meta, having your key damage dealer be competent is far more central than it used to be, perhaps more central than it should be.

I have fond memmories of being able to carry subpar adc's in previous seasons, this season it borders on impossible and that feels unfair. Also, I mainly prefer playing solo, I will Q with friends every now and then but most times I just prefer to play alone.

Enemy ADC? Akali Annie Diana Ekko Fizz Irelia Jax Khazix LeeSin TwistedFate Warwick Yasuo Zed What enemy ADC?

You can have a crap ADC and as long as the rest of your team knows what they're doing you can still win.

Not unless gap in skill between your team and theirs is very large. ADC's are key, they are the most important role when it comes to securing, contesting, defending objectives, they also dish out the most dps during teamfights, there's a reason why we rarely see an lcs match with less than 3-4 adc's in a game with 10 selectable roles.

This is why you should always have multiple damage dealers. This is also part of why I'm a top lane main, so if my ADC does poorly I can do my best to be the secondary attack damage building carry our team needs.

My best isn't always good enough, but making sure my team has a fall back plan is an important part of overall success in game.

Then practice it again and get to challenger rank 1 with a 100% win rate?

... Only if they have an ADC worse than him. Considering he is clearly stating he is not a godlike ADC, this will happen less often as he climbs the ranks. Your argument would be valid if he said "OMGZ insert random ADC SO NOOB CHAMP EVEN BRONZE 5 CAN WIN VS CHALLENJOUR!!11!!", but in this case, it's not.
