Hello I would like to ask you what do you guys think of ADC role in silver to gold. I've been maining adc now trying to improve my mmr along with my rank but i've seem to be stuck at Silver now for some time and i don't know what to do. I've thought that maybe adc can carry but lately it seems I just don't have enough impact on other lanes to really make a difference.

I wont say that i'm really good as adc but i rarely lose the lane and my cs/min is normally higher than that of my enemy, but i still get games where i cant get the FB in first 3 mins of laning phase and if that happens it's usually the enemy that gnobles on my teammates and they just snowball out of control since they don't listen to my "play safe pls"

It's disheartening because i don't know how to properly communicate to my team so that they will listen to me and lately it's been happening, I just give up 10 mins into the game when i see 1 8 AND 0 5 on my team i normally go (well this is lost, there is NO WAY my teammates are going to get good enough during the course of this game to the point that we will win, and i just start counting the wasted time because they don't think we should give up)

In games like those i tend to get into KDA player mentality since to me it's pointless to keep on playing the game where enemy just straight up 100 to 0 me and there is nothing I can do even if I use flash heal and any other help and my team is then keeping me hostage.

I was usually high silver/gold but I kinda tripped when i did my placement and my MMR tanked heavily so i now lose 20 and gain 16. I want to get there but at this point I'm about to give up and just started playing ranked for fun as obviously many others do and i dont really think ranked was designed for that but for tryharding and getting joy in nicely played teamfights but all i get here is onesided stomp or really dragged out game because my team doesnt listen or play for win when i'm sitting here trying to tryhard and progress my skill.

By doesn't listen I mean when we ace and i die and my team goes into jungle or back to their lanes and only last hit not even shove and take any objectives but just sitting there last hitting in the middle of lane while enemy team is all dead. I get kinda toxic in those situations because i really want to win and I see that victory is easily achievable if my team helps.

Recently I lost easily winnable game because even though my team was doing great then my fed teammates decided he is strong enough to go 1v3 and more and Heca got so fed of their solo adventures he just destroyed me everytime since my team decided to ignore me the whole game and after they got nashor they aced and everyone was saying "report cait" when i COULDNT do anything to get myself from the mad fed horse (u cant stop him with traps or slow with e) and he just hacked me. I was pinging whole game for us to group and end but in the end we wasted an easy win and my teammates decided to went themself on me.

This was kinda ranting but i would like to know what should i do except trying to get mentally stronger and not give up when games seem all but lost. Maybe i should pick some other lane to try to carry myself at least to gold where I can participate in some nicely managed teamfights and actually enjoy the game.

ANY TIPS are appreciated tl/dr How to properly carry as adc in the games that are not one sided stomps for your team, is it possible or should I choose other lane that will allow me to carry myself to gold. Thanks to everyone with tips [cass-cry]

I don't even play adc and I went to it from top Lane and my winrate went to over 60 percent. Strongest role in the game.

If I can get to Gold playing Soraka support in an engage support meta, you can get to Gold playing ADC.

But make sure that you're making good use of your bans. I see so many ADCs ban dumb stuff we can easily play around if we use our brains in Gold.

As long as you ban Nautilus and Leona, you should be fine. The trick in low ELO is getting past laning phase.

In bot lane neither of our roles have much autonomy early on, but if you're against Leona or Nautilus, you cannot do anything and you're likely going to be camped with no help from your jungler.

The reason is that those supports can make a ton of mistakes and you can't make any. They're also harder to gank, so the jungler will write off your lane.

I personally don't waste bans on ADCs or mage supports, even though there are some BS examples like Brand, Zyra, Swain, Aphelios, Miss Fortune, and Caitlyn. You can still outplay them at Gold ELO even though you have considerably less room for error. Against engage supports there's like no room for error.

If you get an engage support, then it's pretty much an easy lane for you. You don't have to put in any effort. In the worst case scenario you just end up staring at each other for the entire laning phase.

I think any role/champ is able to carry to gold. Play the champ you like and you will get there soon.
