PSA to adcs: you are not entitled to every cs once mid game hits.

Dasdi96··61 votes·2,996 views

If you show up mid at 12 minutes to take my farm, I will go bot and take cs there if we can't take anything mid or after we took enemy mid tower. Don't ping me back because mid laners actually need more cs than adcs due to having more expensive items.

You know what while we are on the subject, i love it when the Support comes mid to gank my lane without so much as a ping from bot but i do not say a word but when the mid goes and ganks bot even after i not only pinged mia and caution but i also ward the river, watch them clear the river ward(takes 4 hits) then then continue to bot and kill you. Why is it bot lane always complaining about roam when no other lane does, are you not looking at your map or something.

-Talon goes out of lane-

Pings missing, and the Talon walks over three wards...

-20 seconds later-

ENEMY DOUBLE KILL

"OMG REPORT MID NO SS NO FOLLOW"

I'm Vladimir with a Doran's Shield. I'm not going to follow the assassin out of lane when he's capable of ganking his own lane.

I've noticed most teammates don't respond to mia pings, even if you spam them. If you just ping mia they don't know if the room is coming top or bot side, but if you ping be careful with the annoying high pitched sound it makes right on your teammates they are more likely to back off

Right? Or whenever you are a support escorting your adc on a giant side wave quest and you take one or two and they spam ping you back.

PSA to bot laners, if our laner is camping you it is probably because the following is happening:

We are at Base They have stronger wave clear

In both those cases we cannot just "get the tower", especially since Mid also has more places to get ganked from.

If they're camping your bot lane and you're always at base then there is a problem.

Bot lane saying "x is camp" = 1-2 roams so no its not always at base. I mean this statement alone pretty much proves my point, you glossed over my 1 point about being shoved and those are literally the 2 major reasons they roam bot, the only other reason being them losing lane real hard in which case you are already taking their tower. They are not roam bot unless they shoved the lane, have someone holding the lane(usually a JG) or gave up on the lane. In all three cases all we can do is ping and hope that you pay attention.

If your mid laner roams once of course thats fine, enemy support roams mid too sometimes, if your mid laner roams bot twice ok toss a ward down the river or jungler should get scuttle, if its past two times and their tower isnt 50% and under then idk what to tell you.

Also @OP if bot lane rotates and takes your farm, Just ping them back, if they dont listen odds are they're trying to help you push since they won their lane or see an opportunity to get tower damage, or you're just in low elo where people are assholes.

If they are roaming that frequently and not getting anything from bot then they are way behind in lane at that point and their tower is likely at that point.

If they are roaming bot and getting kills everytime they will be ahead which makes it hard to not only push against them but force fights because they will be looking for you to over extend so they can all in you with the lead they got from bot lane.

The other problem is if the jungler is covering their lane they roam more often in which case they are essentially taking the place of jungle ganks.

The point is if you see them roaming bot a lot and their tower is not gone then there is probably a good reason for that. There isn't some imaginary world where minions are magically being stopped by an invisible wall or we are just standing there chilling reading a book while sipping on some coffee. We want mid turret just as badly as you want bot's(even more so since it gives more pressure). If we can take it will we will if we can't theres a good reason for it.

Believe it or not strong waveclear is not required for mid lane. With adc's having shiv and maybe kit waveclear of their own, you can compensate. I heard someone got challenger 1 tricking Sona mid, and we all know how bad her waveclear is.

Who said it was racist? I just took an example. Make it jewish, white, christian. Anything you fucking want if it gets this basic across: It's discrimination.

Divewing3 votes

Because it's not discrimination.

Last I checked junglers and tops dont show up mid and steal CS.

Supports don't cs at all.

So it's wholly and only the ADCs.

You are confusing the scenario. Simple fact is it's only applicable to ADCs.

Because it's not discrimination. Last I checked white people and asians dont show up mid and steal CS. Native Americans don't cs at all. So it's wholly and only the black people. You are confusing the scenario. Simple fact is it's only applicable to black people.

I can replace every group of people you said with another group of people and make this sound incredibly racist (and therefore would be hate speech). I didn't change how you described each group, only what group you described.

Yes, what you saying is discriminatory and therefore hate speech.

Divewing1 votes

I was gonna actually respond (I kinda did), but I've changed my mind.

You've already been brainwashed into ignoring common sense and dropping the hate-speech card every chance you get that I'm not going to bother.

Enjoy existing in your boring lifeless bubble.

AirKingNeo1 votes

Actually, I'd like to see where I ignored common sense. You attacked a group of people who have done nothing to you. Then your attack was rephrased to use groups of people you would actually look offensive in the eyes of many people.

Where did I lose my common sense by comparing an attack on one group of people you hate to racism, or, like I said before, any group of people that get the idea across. Aren't you losing your common sense by thinking it is perfectly fine to attack one group because you don't like them, despite the attack being offensive?

It's a moderate question that deserves an answer.

Divewing1 votes

This is calling out a group because of things they are doing

Hate speech is attacking a group simply because they exist.

Straight up you aren’t comparing the same things, it doesn’t take a genius to work it out.

You are also projecting an “attack”. Just because someone asks you to stop stabbing them in the neck doesn’t mean they are verbally attacking you.

Somewhere along the line you’ve confused the definitions of hate speech and racism. You’ve convinced yourself that making any form of negative comment in any group context is hate speech.

Since you asked for an answer, there it is.

Now I’m done with this. You don’t have to accept my word for it, but at the least read up on these words that should not be used lightly, but you pass around like promotional coupons

AirKingNeo1 votes

So if I call out black people as bad for having a high crime rate, am I not discriminating against them?

Hate speech is attacking a group simply because they exist.

Most hate speech in America's history has always held the claim that X group takes jobs or has a high crime rate. That's a historical fact.

Did you ever consider these hate posts are made by people who just hate ADC players and want to complain about them to get more people to hate them? Just like what has happened in American history; the same propaganda.

Divewing1 votes

Just stop.

This was never about hate until you decided it should be.

I’ll do what you’re doing

“KKK, stop being assholes”

Oh so now that’s discrimination against all white people.

AirKing stop being racist.

You can’t call the KKK bad, that’s hate speech.

YOU SEE HOW FUCKING RETARDED THIS IS?

Fortunately, I don’t live in America, so I’m not as heavily exposed to this political correctness bullshit you clearly have.

It may shock you to know, but the whole world isn’t out to get you. Maybe if you stop being such a pessimistic pretentious dillhole, you might mature enough to see that.

Don’t bother replying

AirKingNeo1 votes

SINGLING OUT ADC MAINS IS DISCRIMINATION AND THEREFORE HATE SPEECH

See. Always about it.

“KKK, stop being assholes” Oh so now that’s discrimination against all white people.

That would be discrimination of KKK members, not white people.

You can’t call the KKK bad, that’s hate speech. YOU SEE HOW FUCKING RETARDED THIS IS?

Well the phase, "KKK, stop being assholes" has no substance nor argument. Also, you have to consider that the KKK literally has defined themselves as people who do bad things.

ADC players aren't a group with the literal description, "Does bad things".

Fortunately, I don’t live in America, so I’m not as heavily exposed to this political correctness bullshit you clearly have.

I'm just asking for common sense about posting. I can't make a thread complaining about a specific player's performance and attack them, so why am I allowed to attack a group of people and attack them.

It may shock you to know, but the whole world isn’t out to get you. Maybe if you stop being such a pessimistic pretentious dillhole, you might mature enough to see that.

I'm an optimist. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be fighting for basic treatment.

SINGLING OUT ADC MAINS IS DISCRIMINATION AND THEREFORE HATE SPEECH

Can you fucking imagine if I said:

Hate Speech: Hate speech is speech which attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender.

Criticizing people who plays ADC as a main role is not hate speech, because it is not something that is a race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. It's simply a role in a video game that you play. It does not become the end all be all of who you are, nor does it affect who you are outside of League of Legends.

PS: What I posted above is the full definition, not a snippet.

I really don't have a real problem with that ... the real problem is when the adc takes everything and reaches full build , they still take everything for no reason , like cmon ..

they gotta sell that build so they can have more damage instead of boots, then replace everything else with more IEs

I'm in Bronze. Most bronze games go ARAM at 10 minutes. Very hard to CS as a mid-laner lol.

Ratpie4 votes

Or you get one of those toxic players where not only do they want every CS, but then they rage when you kill the enemy and they don't get every kill. If only one player on your team is strong, it is too easy to shut that one down and then down the whole team easy.

You know adc comes mid ussually after taking bot tower to help take mid tower, if you go bot to laneswap, its a viable decision.

P.S. Midlaners do not have more expensive items unless your build is ridicoulous, but even in that case adcs are still the most item dependant role in the game.

RocketRelm3 votes

item 3031 item 3094 item 3087 item 3033 item 3139 (3400) - (6000) - (8600) - (11200) - (14800) item 3003 item 3151 item 3089 item 3157 item 3135 (3200) - (6300) - (9900) - (12800) - (15450)

(leaving out boots cause they're equal cost for both, though adcs can typically forgo t2 boots for longer)

These builds aren't unreasonable, I'd say that on average Mages have about 200 gp more per item cost.

The big issue is that full 6 stack gold amount isn't important. What's important is the 3 item power spike. ADCs hit this extremely quickly, due to two of the three items being aggressively priced at 2600, and their "death cap" being 200 gold less. Any mage 3 item core involving death cap will be more expensive than the adcs 3 item core, and this is post Dcap buffing.

SmashinBob6 votes

3 item core is more of an adc thing, mages are not that item dependant that you need to hit a 3rd item for a powerspike, and that AP build is ridicouluos.

Irokaiser1 votes

It is for certain champs. For instance, for Veigar to do Veigar things, he needs to be constantly stacking ap, so he needs to especially get his deathcap, and he also needs to be last hitting with his abilities on the wave, meaning that when the adcs take his farm its a pain in the ass for him to do anything because he now cant keep stacking ap because his ADC is a jerk.

SmashinBob3 votes

You know you can stack on enemy champions aswell. If you just gonna be freezing waves to get every single stack, you are playing veigar wrong.

Also Veigar is really not item dependant at all.

Stop being so spoiled. Your ADC is the one that carried you late game. The team that has the most fed ADC at that point has a much higher chance of winning. Mid laners are only good for ganking bot lane to help get the ADC fed.
