ADC is the worst role possible,change my mind

Maining them since S1,its literally the least fun you can have in this game.

-You're the main target and the focus of the enemy team -Youre gonna get 4manned bot -You're the squishiest enemy,how convenient -The enemy jungler will camp you the most -Don't pull you have the support card,its the WORST possible thing about this role,depending on another person through out lane is a total coin flip,just in 4-5 games today my supports combined a score of around 10/40 -Everyone expects you to carry and flame you if you start losing,even though your mid laner fed the enemy zed 10 kills

  • Youre the weakest class early even though most games end at 20 minutes and if not, the enemy that snowballed can now make your life a living hell
  • You have the least amount of CC or Burst,making you the worst at 1v1s -You have the worst build paths for most items,you're the only class whos core build consists of buying parts of 2 separate items
  • You get flamed in normals,2 times just today,for not picking the most op tier ADC currently available,cause ofcourse,youre the only one that is supposed to carry,nevermind that whenever i play Ryze,Ahri,Swain i get the most damage in the team consistently,not to mention people playing Irelia,Yi,Yas,Jax etc.

I'm sick and tired of OMG ADCs OP Rhetoric,im 100% sure most of the people claiming this never played that role in their life and are just salty cause they can't 2v1 an ADC with a GOOD support,emphasis on good,since there's about 20% chance of getting a good support.

I think i've played the role for 7-8 years now but no more,just rework the whole class so they can go to other lanes and not depend on a support,its disgusting looking at Yasuo,Yi,Jax,Riven,Irelia,Nasus,Zed killing people in 3 shots and winning 1v3s while the boards cry how melees are weak and bruisers need more buffs,total lunacy.

Now lets wait for a bronze 3 top main to tell me how an ADC can melt a full tank in 2 seconds,because there's always that one guy

You're right it's not actually fun to play ADC for the exact reasons you listed.

But people still have a valid point when they say ADC is required on every team comp and that bot lane contributes too much to the outcome of a game.

ADC sucks to play as. ADC is OP. Both things are true.

Glad you understand,im not saying they dont contribute a lot,but it feels awful to play compared to more self reliant classes

IMO I think that jungle might be the worst role to play

Marksman have the best itemization, the largest impact on the game, and the highest burst per second of any other class at similar items.

However, they have no skills unique to them and no skill expression unique to their class. That being said its incredibly fun to have auto-attack on, and just right click once in team fights while everything around you dies and you regen-tank everything.

Did you SERIOUSLY just necro a thread to insult someone over what was true almost a year ago? Got one word for that bub straight from the sharpclaw clan chief himself; Pathetic.

Why necro a thread from over a year ago?

This was true over a year ago. ADCs were the best role in the game and had the best itemization.

Now that's no longer true that we've moved into the one shot meta. It's still not the worst role to play though. Playing a tank is the worst because their items are just not well suited to deal with this meta, and assassins are jam packed with escapes and heals for when they mess up anyways.

The only people who think ADC is the worst role is ADC players, and the only ones who think it's the best role are people who don't play bot lane or haven't been paying attention to the meta changes, mobility creep, and just the absurd amount of damage everything does now.

If i remember correctly this was the 4 man dive bot meta, and i happened to have an especially shitty supports for like 5-6 games in a row, and i do mean shitty if i can still remember it a year and god knows how much later. It was just a miserable experience getting dived on repeatedly and not being able to do nothing about it.

Ironically enough i don't think ADCs are in a bad spot now although i'll stick to Vayne Lucian Ezreal Tristana Kaisa cause they're the hardest to kill and don't rely on their support as much

Probably the same reason you necro'ed to argue with his 7 month old reply.

Adc... carry in the name, and yet the most miserable existence possible unless you get fed early somehow. Even then if they have a good assassin and you no peel it doesn't even matter lol. With the changes to ADC people are already bringing other things down there anyways. Dying role really.

Actually yes,but i can't play only him forever. He has when going trinity,Klepto and resolve second tree around 2700 hp late game while being at 45% cdr and has a flash every 7 seconds. Now thats my type of ADC right there lol

literally the strongest role forever, the entire meta is built to cater to them because they push turrets best and that's what wins you games.

Still the same Cancer shit role :D

Pika Fox2 votes

ADCs are viable mid, some viable jungle, and others viable top.

They can already go to other lanes.

Because once someone comments it goes to the front page, and its not like the age of the thread is at all obvious, eapecially on mobile where the age is in tiny ass letters youd never see.

Before the changes a month back or so a friend of mine got tired of getting fed in mid,spoon feeding kills to his adc and still lose games because even if adc was fed he had zero idea of how to position so he got shut down all the time without contributing to teamfights. He decided to go adc himself and all he needed to do was farm safe,get items and he suddenly won more games just out of the fact bot wasnt lost too early
