"Supporting is harder than ADC"

yeah because being the prime target in teamfights, sieging, knowing when to trade, having good positioning, last hitting is so much easier than keeping tri/dragon warded

@ anyone who believes this, please stop with your delusional beliefs that support is a difficult a role as ADC

Yes, Supports don't need to worry about positioning, peeling, trading, or anything else. Just warding.

Shitpost lol. nice bait though.

Every role has equal amounts of difficulty. This is coming from a guy who plays everything but Support regularly, and the reason I don't do that is because having been an ADC main for most of time playing, I know how crucial it is to have a good support. An ADC is made or broken by the caliber of the support they lane with.

You cant prove someone wrong if they're not willing to listen to start with. It's a lost cause.

Well, in an attempt to make an actual argument, one could say that jungle is one of the most difficult roles, where map awareness, vision and objective control, counter jungling and applying pressure at the right time all have to be taken into consideration. Top lane, on the other hand, only needs to focus on farming, warding, trading and maybe the occasional teleport gank.

i didn't say ADC was the hardest role

i just say support is significantly easier than ADC

I am arguing that not every role has the same amount of difficulty.

he makes good points after that but that inital statement is bs. now if you said each role was equally important then yea but supporting and jungleing takes the cake as the hardest parts of the game if you have to gank alot if you dont have to gank alot jungleing becomes close to the easiest while you have no opponent directly next to you they can come at any time and you have to fight mano y mano vs the jungle nothing is covering the damage for you

You're the prime target in teamfights if you're a threat. The mid laner could be the prime target if they're doing better than you.

Sieging is the job of any champ that's built around sieging? Jayce/Xerath/Ezreal/Ziggs etc.

Knowing when to trade honestly, reading that made me think you're on the stupid side sense you don't realize that goes for EVERY role

Good positioning really? Reallly...you're pretty stupid if you dont think EVERY role has to have that including support. If i'm playing Raka I can't be in the front line tanking up everything. I need to be in the mid/back healing everyone

Also it's not only the supports job to ward. If you aren't helping keep tri/drag warded you're a terrible adc

adc is shit role supports have to watch the adc to make sure the shit he does doesnt get him killed and poke the enemy laners to disrupt their farm and eventually so their adc can come in take the kill and feel good about them selves adcs are spoon fed until they grow up to be strong little boys and start to carry in witch they sacrifice all their other teammates then recall with out getting any objecitives cause they have have to recall to heal or oom even with the enemy team aced and they the only one left because their team had to protect the adc so they can call everyone else shit. adcs have the free dam trinket cant upgrade or use it cause they too busy harassing support for sight stone and buy wards like they can fill the whole field up and the up graded warding trinket can place up to the max 3 wards and have another in reserve. and you dont have to recall every 4 mins because it ran out

Supporting is harder from an intellectual point of view but not usually in mechanical execution.

Support and adc are two vastly different roles. You can't really compare them, but at each role there are easier champions and harder ones. An example of a hard support would be thresh, due to him being both engage and disengage. But a support like sona isn't the most difficult. But the same applies to adc, a hard adc would be draven just due to all the microing he does to catch his axes. But an easier adc is mf, who only has to aa late game as her abilities don't scale well. 2 very different positions, which leads to two very different play styles.
