ADCs Are Still Getting Crapped on By Tanks

LightningShado·Mar 18, 2017·5 votes·1,606 views

Goodness me Riot. I just love playing the amazing role of ADC. It's just so much fun. Taking no damage but dealing lots of it. Oh wait, I accidentally just described tanks. Whoopsie me. Riot, I really hope you come up with some really good buff to critical strike chance items during the tank update because I'm pretty much dying mentally and emotionally and whenever I play ADC, I don't know, TANKS JUST CRAP ON ME.

Here is a less graphic version of what happened in the video.

I was trying to get past him.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

You deserved to die for being alone in the first place, and literally running at him to stay in melee range.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Also, why don't you play ADC and get to challenger already since you obviously know the best thing to do in every situation.

Big LincolnMar 18, 20171 votes

because i'm not a low-test nerd who wants to play ADCs

"hey guys it's me chimpus mcpringle, watch me walk into melee range as Caitlyn the longest ranged ADC in the game"

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Please teach me the ways of your goodness. I was trying to get past him and not go backwards because I knew that I would get massively screwed over by the fed enemy team if I walked any direction away from my base. EVEN MY OWN JUNGLE.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

Try not solo pushing like an idiot in the first place then when you have no map awareness. If you kept running instead of running backwards for no fucking reason, you would've gotten away.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

DODGING SKILLSHOTS is a thing that needs to happen in order to win the game. Ok, nvm.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20172 votes

Do you know how to read? If you kept running, and maybe moved to the side a little while doing so, instead of running BACKWARDS like an idiot, you would have gotten away and dodged Zac's E.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

OK, I'll do that next time and see if it works.

ADC's shouldn't walk into melee range, especially with caitlynn, like do you know what kiting is? Kiting is what makes ADC's broken as fuck in this game, their the hardest to balance class and the only class with another class the specifically designed to murder them because of this fact.

You done fucked up boy, all that happened was you walked into melee range of someone who built damage. Not to mention the crucial fact for 4 seconds of that you could have been auto attacking, he did barely any damage to you compared to what you did to him, you definitely should have won that.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

He wasn't building damage. And also I was trying to get past him. If I suck please teach me.

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

He wasn't building damage, but he was also a level above you and you weren't building defensively from what I saw (not that you should, but I'm just explaining that you're squishy. It means you die easily). Offense outscales defense, which means base offense outscales base defense.

Tanks scale with levels because they have high base damage abilities that get higher with rank. So a higher level tank is going to hurt (hell an even level tank will hurt). Zac also does primarily magic damage and ADCs do not have MR per level.

All in all, he wasn't actually doing that much damage compared to say an assassin or fighter. You would have died before help arrived in that care. You also kited poorly, idk if flash or your dash was on cooldown, but you used it a bit too late when trying to get away.

Oh, and you were out alone as the ADC. That was a bad move.

Despite all this, you still brought Zac down pretty low. If you had kitted better, you may have actually killed him.

You played poorly.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Cool, would you care to show me? Also, flash was on cooldown.

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

Show you what?

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Kiting. But nevermind. I guess just more practice it is for me.

So walk around the Zac so he can ult me so I can get knocked into the wall so... he can still slow the crap out of me and I'll still die. Got it.

Can you understand my frustration?

RalanrMar 18, 20172 votes

Never said kiting was easy. It's probably the hardest skill for the ADC to learn, but it is a skill that they are balanced around since their main defense is keeping their distance.

Look up orbwalking and kiting videos for league on youtube. That will help.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Ok THANKS! :)

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

No problem, good luck.

AhristocatsMar 18, 20174 votes

immediatly alt+f4 as a cait main

Its All SkillzzMar 18, 20173 votes

you walked into zac who missed his engage let him ult you an then you died to morgana Q lol.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

I was actually trying to walk past him to safety.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

You threw your safety out the window when you decided you should run out like an idiot by yourself into lane.

Kirius DarkMar 18, 20173 votes

you're not supposed to be able to 1v1 nuke everyone whenever you want. you bring the damage in the back line when your team holds them down for you

you walking out on your own to get rekt is your problem

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

You mean farming? And pushing the wave? So basically I'm not safe anywhere. Except in my own base.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

Or, you could stick with your team because ADC is a team reliant role. Wow, who knew. Stop whining.

WolfessMar 18, 20173 votes

Cait has trap CC and net that slows AND displaces her in the opposite direction...

Why did I see neither of these two things being used in this video?

where's my eye bleach, ugh.

ForgiveColourMar 18, 20173 votes

Lol the replies yeah he was "out of position" so what? What makes you think that its fair and balanced that a tank can 100-20 a squishy by pressing r

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

An assassin would have done it a lot faster. Plus he also used smite.

ForgiveColourMar 18, 20173 votes

So you just compared tank damage to assassins. Good at least you know tank damage are too high

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

Sigh

If the assassin did it, Caitlyn would have died before the Leona showed up. Zac's damage output was so slow that the OPs Leona and the Zac's Morganna arrived before Caitlyn was killed.

That's not high damage at all. The Zac didn't even kill the poorly played Caitlyn. She could have kitted better or ran, but instead she basically face tanked the entire ultimate while he had cinderhulk. Not to mention Zac was higher level.

Caitlyn played poorly and could have survived if she just ran when Leona got there (she probably wanted to kill Zac because he was getting pretty low). But she didn't. She got punished for playing poorly.

Her punishment was just more humiliating because of how long it took. If it was an assassin, it would have been quick.

ForgiveColourMar 18, 20172 votes

You make no sense. Youre exactly like some retard redditor that says something else is broken so pre nerf leblanc is balanced

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

And you sound like someone who thinks you shouldn't have to kite tanks on an adc.

ForgiveColourMar 18, 20172 votes

Lmao i knew i shouldnt have bother with someone that compares apples to orange

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

And I knew I shouldn't try to explain stuff to you. Unless it's helpful for ADCs then it just gets filtered out for you.

ForgiveColourMar 18, 20173 votes

You provided 0 useful argument on why its fair and balanced that a tank can press one ability and 100-20 a squishy. Until you make yourself useful im just gonna keep seeing you as a troll

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

Zac's bounce doesn't do all of it's damage in one hit. He has to keep landing at his target to actually hurt the champion. If all Zac did was press R, then you may have a point, but he did not. He pressed R, he positioned to follow the ADC, he used smite to keep the ADC close, and the ADC did not use her dash until later.

Why should Zac do so much damage there? Because the ADC stayed really goddamn close to the tank when they are not suppose to be in melee at all.

This isn't Zac being broken, this is the ADC playing poorly and getting punished for it.

NiyumiMar 18, 20171 votes

I just love watching the simplest class in the game win because, hur dur, they can right click on me. They sustain harder than literally any champ ever has (even champs BUILT AROUND SUSTAINING), they have no counterplay, they don't aim, they can't miss, they have an item to counter any bad situation, they can ignore armor, they have no resource, no cooldowns, nothing. Yet they're still allowed to be gods because they make money.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Um, what class are you talking about? Oh wait I get it. It's a joke telling me I suck. Thanks. Teach me please?

NiyumiMar 18, 20171 votes

It's a joke making fun of the fact that you're implying ADCs are in any way weak or put out.

You are, no joke, one of the worst ADC players I have ever seen. Zac misses his E, and you proceed to walk right up to him, get yourself trapped in minions, and eat his damage, then you just run without trying to kite him, and then when Leona begins to peel him, instead of moving under your turret in the fight you move away from it.

The problem isn't with ADC. It's with you. I hope you realize that one day.

duckarpMar 18, 20171 votes

You were completely out of position, against Zac who had 1lvl more than you and you didn't even try to attack him while kiting... When Morgana came (and killed you), you didn't even bother to change the target.. Zac by that point already forgot about you.

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

So basically don't farm, don't push and just stand near nexus turrets waiting to die. Huh, cool.

RalanrMar 18, 20171 votes

Try not to go out alone anyway.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

I love how ADC players whine and say "adc in 2k17 lul" when they play like garbage.

Why the fuck were you out there alone by yourself? Why the fuck were you literally running at him to stay in melee range?

LightningShadoMar 18, 20171 votes

Pushing the WAVE is a thing that needs to happen in order to WIN THE GAME.

MissingKayoMar 18, 20171 votes

No shit?

Why are you pushing by yourself like an idiot?
