What is the hardest role to carry from?

I don't really know but I want to say in this current meta it's probably top.

My reasoning is simple. 80% of game outcomes are decided by the OTHER side of the map. While mid can roam often and bot can camp/gank a lot, top is moatly locked out by TP cooldowns. And even then if you aren't winning lane or you got counterpicked, probably best not to counter TP and just push instead. Yes I have around 74 games on Irelia with a 64% winrate, but I still find it hard to do much of anything in some games where we have to vs a fed enemy bot lane.

Anyways let me know what you guys think.

adc

he said hardest not easiest....

supports imo have the biggest opportunity to influence the outcome to victory.. but its nearly always the adc's doing the actual carrying. MY job is to make sure they DO

i play support, if my adc isn't 100% braindead we win lane.

i have to frequently turn down friend requests from adc's.

ADC have BY FAR the easiest way to carry the game because of their itemization being beyond absurd atm.

toplane and support. TOplane is isolated most of the time and the tp after the nerfs is pure shit. Support relies on the team to have an IQ of at least 50 to win. Jungle and mid carry the hardest. 3rd is adc.

I would probably put ADC and Top together on the hardest ones, cause one doesn't get any help, and the other is gangbanged the entire game. The other roles probably go Jungle<Mid<Support.

Its support all day, its just not gonna happen. the 1v5 chance is super low, chance for picks without team support is low, your level is low, tower taking potential is low, wave clear is low, and most importantly your GOLD IS LOW. Meaning low damage hp sustain movement etc etc. Its called support and is the only duo lane for a reason.

Removing support from the equation and id have to say top; its the island.

adc currently hardest I believe

My vote is for ADC. I'm an ADC main, and I find it hard to carry. I do on occasion, and it feels good to go 17/1 with Cait sometimes. But I find it easier to carry when I play support; supports make play opportunities.

From easiest to hardest:

Jungle Mid Top Support ADC

It is all subjective but that is my list. If you are not sure how the game flows or where you need to be on the map at a given time, then I would swap jungle for mid.

I'd say Jungle and Support tbh. A support doesn't have the damage to destroy towers and (with bad luck) has to watch his team play TDM.

And the jungler has to help every lane at the same time because somehow people forgot that playing safe and farming/ going even in lane can win the game too.

Jungler has the best chance to carry a game friend. They affect every lane.

Hardest to carry from =/ highest impact

How is having the highest impact the hardest to carry from lol?

LauchmelderJan 3, 20171 votes

You CAN have the highest impact. Doesn't mean you will. It's what you make of your opportunities.

An ADC that is behind can farm up and get even. A jungler that falls behind not only loses to counterganks but also loses objective control, which is the sole reason he exists.

If a jungler falls behind early his team will lose out on dragons if the enemy jgl is even just a bit decent.

If objective control wouldn't be neccessary we'd see duo lanes top and bot.

vOmvbrawfUJan 3, 20171 votes

Sure, but having the ability to have the highest impact defaults it to not being the hardest to carry from lol. Inability to carry as a jungler doesn't mean jungle is the hardest role to carry from. If you're a bad jg, you can just clear some waves and casually gank a lane. Maybe get an assist or two. Probably lose a couple objectives, sure. But, if you're a bad mid/adc/support, you will feed your lane so they snowball, miss out on objective control anyway while they 4v3 (best case) the dragon anyway.

I'd agree top depending on the role. There's nothing more frustrating than wasting two minutes of the enemy's time and multiple outs before dying to the 1v5 to see your team DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DURING THAT TIME.

I would probably say top-lane (due to isolation) or ADC (reliance on allies for protect, most can't dictate when fights start).

Mid-lane, Jungle and Support are probably the most influential roles due to their ability to roam around the map to influence fights, control vision and contest objectives. These roles will often be the ones to provide CC for the team (letting them engage/disengage fights), which gives them more influence.

top lane, because most games are decided by 4 man dives on bot lane within the first 10 minutes these days.

people complain that adc feel like ass right now because of it and cant carry anymore, but they still have SOME impact on the outcome on what happens down there. and 1 of the 2 adc gets fed and still carries every game.

right now its jungle > mid = bot > top. simply because top is isolated for the most critical phase of the game, before you can afford to join the rest of the game, the direction it takes is already set in motion.

The hardest to **carry **on? I'm not sure what carry means to you, but if we're talking about putting the team on your back and doing everything yourself. I main support so I won't be afraid to say this. The hardest to carry on is Support. If you see a support carrying a team, something is wrong with that entire team. Supports aren't suppose to 100-0 an entire team by themselves as they need their team to deal damage. The only way I see a support carrying if they're using a champion that was created for midlane/Toplane like Velkoz Veigar Lux Malphite and so on, or the team let the support get the last kills.
