If I am an adc and you are a jungle taking safe lane cs

xToxicOsirisx·4/7/2018, 11:19:20 PM·22 votes·2,168 views

I'm going to farm your jungle camps. I'm going to take that farm because it is safer for me to do so, than trying to cs in a lane that is pushed. I can't simply walk anywhere I please and take cs. If i'm csing anywhere that is remotely isolated, I will get killed because at least 4/5 of the enemy team can 1v1 me. And everybody absolutely loves to gank the lone adc. You are the one who has the item that gives extra exp for farming the jungle. You are the one that is throwing away free exp. But we all need gold. And i'm going to take the farm that I can get.

EDIT: Something i'd like to add. I do this solely because it isn't very often that lane minions are safe to take alone. Mages, assassins, and tanks can usually farm most lanes alone without worrying about being ganked in a 1v1. At the very least, they can usually get away unless they got ganked by multiple people. But if an adc is trying to do that, they will usually not be able to get away. They don't have the defense to survive anything and the cc to outplay. They can't survive most 1v1s. Not to mention how much people love ganking lone adcs.

Let's be honest you were gonna take my red and Jungle camps anyways, hell when i'm playing Zac and i ping my blue to tell my mid laner they can have it you're gonna take that too.

I love when I go in and gank or protect a turret as JG, and I last hit a few minions that the tower was going to kill anyway and the ADC gets all snippy. Happens when you do the same thing as support. ADC, if you are not there, I am going to last hit any minions you are going to miss when you are out of lane.

You better ask for my Red before you just take it.

I don't have a problem with my laners taking Camps, but I DO like to be asked first so I can plan my new jungle path. It's also considerate. Cause if you don't ask, I WILL drive by smite it.

All it takes is "Please?"

Sometimes you have to shove the lane jesus christ.

This brings up the whole issue of when it's okay for an ADC to rip through a jungler's camp. Yes, an ADC should be getting as much cs as possible, because Riot has made this game centered around them (unfortunately). But there are circumstances for everything.

I'm a jungle main and when I gank I will commonly take cs to help shove the lane, or to tax it (Yes, even if I got the kill sometimes). Taxing is necessary for a jungler in order to stay relevant in the game. You might not know this but without taxing a lane a jungler will fall off the edge of the world, their sustain comes from not only their jungle camp but from lanes as well.

Now onto the issue of asking for buffs, I find it irritating and almost childish when I go to start my red buff and I see my adc ping that they are on their way to my buff to take it, as if they just said "MINE, BACK OFF." I don't really understand why they can't ask when and if they can have it. I will usually give my adc red if they are doing decent and we are past the laning phase, that's when I find it acceptable. (Also, since I'm a Nocturne main I don't really need red buff if I one shot :D).

If we are going to bring this up as well. If I ran all the way across the map to go get CS, and the second you ping that you are on the way to that are and ping me to get off the CS, after I've clearly been running towards it for a good 20-30 seconds of vital game time, I'm going to take the CS. I have full reasoning to, I'm standing right next to it, pinging it and thinking that it's your's as an ADC is kind of childish, you're at base, and I'm in the lane.

Now, lucky for me my elo is high enough where I no longer see this mentality, just thought I'd add my fuel to the fire.

Play Kai'sa or Twitch and those problems go away.

I think its a fair exchange in situations like when the jungler is doing great and youre doing decent(arguable) or below.

But if the jungler has given you the gold advantage on purpose than I wouldn't mind it, I'd just gank a lane while my lane was pushed in.

I'll take what I can, since after the 18th minute mark everything I've had is yours anyways..

The debate over "who deserves what CS" rages on.

I am getting low on popcorn. I will need to send out a supply crew for more soon.

Yes, but if I DON'T take your lane CS, give you ganks, and what not, and you still take my red buff at level 9 without letting me know I'm going to take your CS.

It's not really productive in solo q. I would rather miss some CS than potentially tilt my already unstable jungler into inting or DCing. Unfortunately the way the game is, if you want to climb at a reasonable rate you have to kiss your teammates' asses and tell them "nice" for anything they do.

Consistently winning lane isn't enough to climb fast, you have to emotionally carry your teammates, they have to feel superior and useful even if they have no clue what they're doing.
