Man, I wish I was talented enough to play an ADC.

'cause only a literal god can right click on people. So it's only fair for them to have the highest damage (short and long term), highest sustain, longest range, highest item diversity, armor pen out the ass so they one shot tanks too, no resource, no aiming, items that make them take half damage while giving them more damage, and all that.

But, nah, ADCs are weak! No reason to play them. Besides, I'm not a god, so I couldn't even HOPE to play an ADC.

We should keep buffing AD items, if you ask me. And nerf AP some more, and gut tanks again. Would make the game more fair and fun for everyone.

So play ADC then and only right click on people and see how far it gets you

NiyumiJul 16, 20173 votes

You know, that's really weird of you to say because... I have, and it was like I was cheating, how fast I killed people and how much I healed off of lifesteal. Kind of a free win, but everyone says they're so weak.

But everyone says ADCs are so mechanically complex, I must be doing it wrong.

Don't worry, with enough practice you might be able to play it decently. Don't get discouraged right away and at least try!

NiyumiJul 16, 20171 votes

People always say that... but just how can people right click? I don't understand how you can even move your finger like that to hit the mouse button, much less actually click on people!

Just seems like too complicated a playstyle for 99% of the playerbase. They should buff ADCs so baddies like me can pull it off too.

Each role is more difficult than most people give it credit for, including ADCs.

NiyumiJul 16, 20171 votes

Except ADCs are actually beyond braindead, but the playerbase lies to themselves to protect their freelo and Riot doesn't give a fuck since they make money off ADCs.

AlienPrimateJul 16, 20171 votes

I can't play ADC's at all but do decent enough in every other roll. ADC is by far the hardest roll for me. It is so hard for me that I all together refuse to play a marksmen, even in bottom lane. I just opt to play a mage, Morde, or Tryn if I am forced into bottom lane.

Well that's funny I think AD items are just broken, Hexdrinker vs seekers armguard I can tell you how many times I've seen people survive so much just because of the hexdrinker.

NiyumiJul 16, 20171 votes

Oh no, don't worry! Hexdrinker is a super niche, weak item! Not broken at all!

AD itemization actually needs some more improvements, and maybe a couple new items to account for other fuckups ADCs might do.

ReySolomonJul 16, 20171 votes

lol ok.

Evil YasuoJul 16, 20171 votes

Support has been the easiest lane i've played. Top lane is a nightmare for me, I can jungle, I mid mainly and I never ADC because the game basically depends on you doing well. ADC is the most stressful.

Jung KPJul 16, 20171 votes

You complain yet you are only silver 3.... There is so much about this game that you don't understand. Don't fall into such a blinded view.

NiyumiJul 16, 20171 votes

I complain, yet I've got over 10,000 games played, and I've played against every ELO (and I can beat them all).

And in all that time, the strongest class has ALWAYS been fucking ADCs. They are literal gods, yet they make money so Riot ignores them.

lol, no you haven't, because your MMR would make that impossible. And no you can't, because outside of small sample sizes, you'd get wrecked by high elo players (and destroyed by even or counterpick matchups). You're silver 3 after 10,000 games played. That means you're definitely silver 3, which means there's a lot you don't know about each role.

And apparently a lot you don't know about ADC.

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

Now, I know you probably weren't here when they were doing it, but there used to be Rioters on the forums that would put together games spanning all ELOs. And, in norms, you can queue with anyone regardless of ELO.

I've laned against every ELO except masters (yes, including challenger) several times, and I've both won and lost lanes against all of them (came out of lane 15/2 against a challenger, so...).

And yeah, I'm silver 3, but my average performance beats most high ELO players, and even some LC$ players (minus farm, because I have to give up my lead to roam all game and try and keep morons from feeding), and I can reliably play several times the champs of most people who play this game (average person plays what, 15-20 champs, I play damn near 100).

So, yeah, I know what I'm talking about. ^^

LoLN008Jul 17, 20171 votes

not saying you are a liar, but I smell bullshit, look at all of the challenger players doing unranked to challenger and climbing out in a matter of days, and If you were that good you would be placed higher than silver

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

I wish I was lying.

But individual performance doesn't mean much in League; the outcome of the game is ultimately up to your team as a whole, not just you. Sure you can help them along, but get bad enough teammates and not even a challenger can carry them. Have bad enough luck to get those kind of teammates 9/10 times... well, you don't go anywhere.

You could tell it's a troll when he/she said that he/she is even better than some lcs players.

So, why doesn't every smurf have a 100% winrate then?

Hm.

Killed InactionJul 17, 20171 votes

Challenger players don't end 15/2 against other challenger players, so yeah... no. Not unless they intentionally fed you because they pitied you or were just joking around. Even Faker doesn't end lane phase with anywhere near 15 kills against other challenger players. You're not better at the micro game than Faker.

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

Well, if I dig through my history far enough (this was 2 years ago), I could find you the game. Was Kass into Anivia, got several kills mid, roamed bot a lot, and was generally doing well. But my team ended up throwing and we lost (they had two challengers, while my team's highest was a diamond), ended the game 15/2 only dying near the end.

And shortly after I started playing ranked (I started when Ekko was being teased, went into ranked 2 weeks later), I played against a plat Azir main with over 3k games on Azir as Nidalee (mid, not jungle). Destroyed him in lane, and went on to carry the game. League isn't hard, and I come from MMOs where there's a hell of a lot more going on.

And I don't know about Faker, since I never watch games, but every clip I've seen... LC$ players make bronzelord mistakes all the time and lose fights because of it. Not hard to imagine that you can have better microplay than upper ELO people. The people in LC$ are mostly just there because of god-tier macro play and team coordination, a lot of them are bad individually.

You said you came out of lane 15/2, not that you ended 15/2.

And yeah, I'm guessing they fed you intentionally, to make the game more challenging/fun.

What does it matter how many games on Azir someone has when they're playing Nidalee? Also, when Ekko was first released, he was beyond broken. His ult could pentakill from 100% HP on their tanks.

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

I was playing Nid, he was playing Azir. I mentioned Ekko to give an idea of the time this was.

I only got like 3 kills in other lanes, so I came out of lane 12/0 then.

And no, he was actually trying. Complimented me on how well I did.

oh yes, Riot would ruin the balance of the game to make a few extra bucks (they are only like 15% of the champ pool and thus don't sell that many skins but ignore that)

Keep complaining man, one day maybe rito will listen to you, throw ADCs in a landfill and you get rank 1 na easy xd

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

The class with the most average skins per champ is ADC, so...

And I don't want them to dumpster ADCs, I just want them to make the game actually fair and balanced like they preach.

Jung KPJul 17, 20172 votes

I don't understand your mentality. You are hardstuck in silver and there is no way you can beat every elo. Stop pointing fingers and look at your own play. There is a reason why you are at the elo you are at. Excuses won't help you win games.

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

I'm hardstuck in silver because my teammates are silver. They don't know what to do with a lead, they can't play from behind, they don't know how to play safe, they go after kills before anything else... and before you know it the enemy team all has 10+ kills and there's nothing I can do.

Truly PridefulJul 16, 20171 votes

You seem to be complaining about this game every day, might be a good time for a break my friend.

NiyumiJul 17, 20171 votes

It's not just this game that's gone to shit, it's the entire industry outside of microscopic indie devs who put out one game, maybe two, and then call it quits. Not much else to play.

HeresyHorusJul 17, 20171 votes

It's not just this game that's gone to shit, it's the entire industry

i do still play old titles like Planescape : Torment, Legacy of Kain, Baldurs Gate, Cryostasis, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Silent Hill ( especially Shattered Memeories ), Bioshock, Neverwinter Nights ... etc.

Like 95% of new games are just pretty graphics trying to hide a shitty story and shallow gameplay.

Stupid easy, robust and good game Engines like Unreal 4, Frostbite, Unity3D, CryEngine are the main cause that graphics are so easy now to create and companies forget about the story and gameplay because they are hard to create unlike graphics.
