I Can't Carry As ADC in Bronze/Silver

iDuckx··2 votes·6,379 views

Alright, I don't want to come out as a snobby bronze complaining about his teammates but I kinda am. My piece of thoughts are that it is actually more difficult to carry as an Bronze player. My friend recently lended me his account because he had stopped playing LOL to play Overwatch full time. He was in Diamond and with his account, I actually promoted him from Diamond 5 to 4.

My friends, who are all Silver, Gold, Diamond often invite me into games and often I play against players who are above my level who are in Silver and Gold and I usually do not under preform.

However, when I play ADC in Bronze 1 and 2, I feel like I get punished by people that feed a lot more so for example, a fed Rengar will one shot me, even if I am at 24/0. I literally cannot carry out of Bronze when other lanes are feeding or if other players are 4 kills ahead of me. Of course, I am nowhere the skill level and a few games that I lose are probably my fault, (not roaming hard enough, not splitting) but I feel like I am not winning or losing elo and this is just impossible.

If you look at my games, you can see that most of my kills come in first 15 minutes of the games and it declines when I try to group during mid and late game.

In case you were wondering about my promos series I went 4-6 (2 games afk and 1 game with a person running it down mid).

Of course, I am just here to learn on your thoughts, what I can do to improve my performance and your thoughts on how I can climb to higher elos such as Gold and Diamond.

Thank You!

play a pub stop champ, for adc id say xayah but its best top lane someone like darius that can get fed and just kaboom people

For low elo its hardscaling hypercarries, because noone knows how to punish them/close out games. Examples master yi, kayle, nasus you get the idea.

Improve your farming and you'll improve.

Tbh ADC is not an easy role to carry low Elo's with. Opponents can easily punish you for making a mistake, ( overextending is the most common ). And once you fall behind, it's much harder to recover because split pushing for the extra CS is not an option ( see above ) and jungling is next to impossible when you're squishy and sitting on less than 2k HP. Add this with the occasional bad / troll support and you'll have a hard time escaping bronze and silver.

look at your match history for your last few games and tell me what you see is glaring at you ?

sure man look at it closely. look when i get my kills. i get most of my kills under the first 15 minutes and go down to the fed players. if you are commenting on an opinionated post, i highly suggest you should preform your own research before commenting.

you wanna know why you cant carry i show you your match history and you come back with this bullshit?

if you cant look at your own games and see where you do wrong then you wont improve.

and by the way YOUR CS IS SHIT IN NEARLY EVERY GAME

so are you suggesting that i should split more? because i usually start grouping with everyone which usually tends to be when i am around level 7 and 8. as for my own games, i do look at them, and i have watched at least half of the games i have lost over (in ranked that is).

i can suggest mid and jungle because you can recover lanes with roaming or rotations but its up to you to find a comfortable position to carry from i cant tell you how to play

in most of your games you have under 200 cs... for a champ or role that is completely dependent on gold/items you cant properly do damage and carry as you should with lack of resources.

positioning is a big key too... playing jihn (seems to be a fav of yours ) is a sitting duck most of the times... and if you see a team picked with a lot of divers/gap closers long range cc then maybe reconsider the champ you pick that game.

im not here to put you down but you want some suggestions here it is. i get it low elos are clown fiestas majority of the time... but these are things to take into consideration

in the last game you played in 25 mins you had one completed item and 111 cs that just wont cut it at all regardless of what champ/role you play.

typically you should have at worst 80 cs per 10 mins

^ if you want to continue to adc then we cannot stress the 80-100 cs requirement at 10 mins

alright thanks. i have to work on other champs in cs. thanks in advance.

other than the cs factor, and the fact its all jihn, i think he's pointing out the fact that it seems you rush your rapid cannon before damage which is just no. Also try staying in lane longer even if the other team tries to go all mid, by lvl 7-8 you're not ready to leave farming for extended periods of time. try to drag out your lane phase to more like lvl 10-12

btw, in bronze as an adc YOUR team is most often your worst enemy, you need to figure out what you need to be effective and by when, and leave those fuckers to die until you get it. If it takes long enough for you to get what you need that they start flaming or losing hard its cuz they fed, fucked you, or just plain suck. True story.

when i play jihn, which i rarely do simply because team comps in lower elo are usually
< retarded, i won't go near a teamfight without item 3031 item 3009 and preferably a item 3086

this is a helpful discussion, you are the type of person to be banned for toxicity. i would kindly suggest that you form your words into a more supportive and charitable post. thank you. i mean anyways, who the hell am I? it's not like i have a unranked 25% winrate account, with less than a 50% winrate on every single champion that has been played.

if you are referring me to being toxic and being banned for such i never have been... never even had a chat restriction in game. that being said, im kinda blunt and straight forward. but at no point did i say anything verbally abusive or toxic towards you. my point was for you to look at your match history with an unbias approach to see it with out your pride in the way. so you can be a true critic to your self . and yet you wanna come back snappy with comments like " if you are commenting on an opinionated post, i highly suggest you should preform your own research before commenting." my research was your history, wins/loses items, cs, kda

Usually I would agree with you but in this case I actually agree with the silver kid. ADC requires 2 people, especially in this meta. You can still do well, but if you're support is inting then it's going to be an uphill battle. It might not even be winnable anymore given the fact that most people these days don't throw a lead when they get it.
