ADC is too hard to play (by comparison)

Compare the level of physical mechanics it takes to play Vayne or Kalista versus say.... Riven, Veigar, Renekton.. or any other lane with any other champion. In my opinion ADC is way too hard (mechanically) and considering that metric I think their damage should be way higher. Either that or the way their damage is disbursed should be completely reworked. I feel bad for anyone who plays ADC consistently in ranked play; you my friends are at the absolute bottom of the totem poll. Give me a veigar:taliyah bot any day over an ADC:SUPP; it really is absurd.

#Funny Joke.

I can’t tell if this is a troll or not. Adc is a easy role to play and for the most part adc is over rated on how hard it is to play. Also there isn’t a single adc in the entire game that’s more difficult to play than riven. I am pretty sure this is a troll post I don’t think anyone thinks adc is that difficult to play.

Right clicking is hard

This has to be a troll post. Honestly saying right clickers are harder than riven?

what a joke

It is widely accepted that ADC is the most mechanically-heavy role (in general, not speaking about specific kits) - except in NA, so just don't mention it on these boards, coz all you will get will be "but point and click, duh".

This is one of the few times I can actually unironically say this. Git gud.

More mechanical then riven? Maybe like 5 different adcs.

Actually if you look at the top 10 champs for win rates there isn't a single adc there. OP is correct. Mid laners are by far the easiest champs in this game.

I think this varies on a player to player basis. Like, ADC mains play ADC because its what they are good at. Picking up something like Riven would probably be an awful experience for them since they don't have a full grasp on the mechanics, timing, and judgement of what to fight, when and how to fight, where to position etc etc.

From my perspective as a Top laner and Jungler, I view ADC as the hardest role in the game to play, but I doubt ADC mains see it that way.

My issue when I attempt to play ADC is, I don't know how to position to be effective, or when the hell I can even go in without dying. And I don't know when im supposed to be farming or grouping. I also limit myself to very mechanically simplistic ADC's to minimize my mechanical problems at the role. Things like, MF and Twitch.

Been playing since season1, routinely land in Plat1-3 every season. The only role I have never mained is ADC. The only times I did play ADC, and did well, was when ADC junglers were viable. Kog'maw Jungle I was strong with. MF Jungle I was strong with. Ezreal Jungle I was strong with. Twitch Jungle I was strong with.

But its because I have a very solid understanding of how to maximize my gameplay from the jungle role.

No. Jungle is too difficult. Nobody seems to understand how difficult this role is to play. This is why on top of that, they have to deal with a lot of flame. When to farm, gankable lanes, where to be on the map, camp respawn timers, tracking the enemy jungler, predicting the enemy jungler... there's just to much to this, much more than the ad carry role, where you just sit in a lane and last hit minions.
