PSA: If you are an ADC, it is your responsibility to win the game.

^ My last ADC game. Literally everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Everyone fed, My Support went ADC and tried to take my CS (still shared with her cause I'm nice), Team raging at each other, actively sabotaging each other, etc. I mean, Yasuo had 8 kills and 2 towers by ~15 minutes, and he was just getting warmed up.

I, using Quinn in a role I do not regularly play, managed to fit all this in my backpack, focused objectives, took things whenever I could, and managed to turn the game around for a win. I got myself fed and farmed, and steamrolled through the enemy base by myself, taking special care of the minimap and wards, keeping track of the enemy team as best I could, and generally playing solo.

I used to beleive that there were some games that are just not winnable, but if someone who hardly ADC's at all except for once out of a blue moon, can take Quinn, a highly buggy and "underpowered" Champion, and carry this game, then I don't think that ADC's have the excuse anymore that they "can't win every game." If the odds are 5v5, or otherwise even, and you are the class designed to take objectives, then you can carry that game.

Full Disclaimer: This isn't counting AFKs, DC's, or hardware problems truly outside of your control. This is about those even matches, where you have control over the situation.

This guy is so condescending. He makes such hasty generalizations that he thinks apply to everyone who plays the game that are just awful.

Are you joking? That was a close game. Maybe it felt unwinnable to you, but it was less than a 5,000 gold disadvantage the entire game. In Normals.

I don't really agree with this. There are unwinnable games regardless. Some people use it as an excuse I agree but that isn't the case for everyone.

On a team level, all games are winnable. But on an individual level, not always. Sometimes there is no way to get your team to work together. Staying silent doesn't help and saying anything at all is an offense.

It is up to the ADC, but you have to put them in the position to win, you can't expect your 0-5-4 caitlyn to carry a game.

Last night seemed to be a terrible night in solo queue.

This was the first time where I felt as though my team was being overly abusive to one another + careless mistakes made at champ select.

I had two supports in one game. I had a support who started the game with "STFU **** MUTED!" after i said "GL HF all!"

I even yelled at my jungler for picking a dumb champion to jungle (I know I was wrong here, but I realized I was on tilt so I turned it around)

Last night was rough.
