Looking for legitimate help and advice for Ranked

That Is Rude·3/19/2017, 9:38:45 PM·1 votes·415 views

Hi guys I am currently a Bronze 2 ADC main who needs help. I been having a lack of good games and I am starting to lose my mind over this losing streak. Most advice I have received from my higher elo friends are to not tilt and focus on my own gameplay, and I am trying so hard to follow this guideline, but the amount of stupidity surrounding the division is driving me insane. I personally feel like most of teams on both sides just lack common sense and I just facepalm at every action they take. The lack of awareness along with no common sense for most of the players I have been with and faced against makes me question sometimes how they function on everyday situations. I always feel like every game is winnable, but some stupid action among the team(including myself) just crushes the chance of having a higher probability of winning and demoralizes me. That is the most frustrating part of being in this division. I always look back at the game and just tilt at the fact that 1 change or action could have changed the outcome of the game, but the execution just wasn't enough and eventually just snowballs out of control. I know I need to vastly improve my personal gameplay and I want to, but I am seeking advice from other people on the best way of doing so and advice on how to impact the game more from the ADC role. Please be brutally honest I am desperate to climb out.

I would strongly advise against playing ADC (you'll need a good support to impact the mid game which is not a Given). If you're Support is bad, you will find it hard to impact the game.

There is only one ADC I recommend in low elo; MissFortune. Contrary to public perception, her autos are NOT weak (they are weaker than a traditional kiter) but its still good enough to get the job done.

Its too hard to "power-kite" 5 enemies consistently unless you have god-like mechanics. But it is quite feasible to position well enough to hit 3 or 4 of them with your Ult every time (in Bronze, they often stick together, giving you tons of free AOE damage).

MF has everything you want in an ADC in low elo. AOE damage, point and click slows, an intuitive and easy kit, movement speed boosts, decent autos.

Despite the nerfs her laning remains top tier for the purposes of low elo. If you manage to get a kill you'll be completely unstoppable but even if you don't, you can play for the late-mid and late game with your AOE nuke ultimate.

Brutally honest? You brought Vi into your ranked games with what, mastery 2 on her? That cost you a couple games man. Like, you have random losses on a bunch of champs that you've played one time. Sona, Nami, Shen, Rengar... when you play a mastery 2/3 champ that you're only so-so on in ranked, you're asking for bad times imo.

Now, look at your Ashe, your Jhin, probably your Lucian ( not enough games to tell, but the mastery is there and you have a couple wins on him).Those are good winrates. Average out your winrates on those 3 champs, and you're over 65%. That is a good climbing winrate! I know you've lost a few games recently, but this is LoL, some games are beyond your control. Just because you were on a bad streak doesn't mean your Ashe or Jhin suddenly got worse, keep working on those and you'll get better.

You should probably pick a secondary role, and grind it out a bit in normals. I can't tell if your secondary is supp, jung, or mid. If you decide on mid, you should probably learn a mid laner other than just Zed ;)

And to round off my analysis: at your current winrate, if you cut out the random one time champs, and depending on if you get stuck on promos for a while, you're only like 40-50 games away from that silver border. Keep grinding those games out man, and you'll make it eventually! Just don't forget to take a break when you feel like your emotions are seeping in to your gameplay.
