IMO ADC has to be the most frustrating role in the whole game

Rivuo··5 votes·1,139 views

Hear me out, Yeah this is some bitching from me and major complaining But read first before you post.

The only exception is Jhin and Ashe. If you're playing any other ADC imo its like you're destined to rage quitting.

Example 1 )

Played a game where i was a sejuani, Went straight armor because i had so much health that AP champs did nothing to me. Tristana was doing about 130 autos with a lord dom i was literally eating her autos and i didnt notice until i lost about 25% of my health after like 3-4 seconds. Yeah she was near full build as was I.

Example 2 )

Played a game as caitlyn. I was 5-0 within the first 15 minutes. Gragas builds ninja tabi + frozen heart

Full build into the game with lord dom + Maw for the 10 armor pen and MR since they were AP heavy.

Gragas now has ninja tabi frozen heart spirit visage cinderhulk enchant and zzrot

Im hitting the gragas for about 260 crits as a Fed caitlyn without him drinking.

Example 3 ) Im a full build trist with elixir

Gragas gets hit for 230 crits. Hit him about 3 times and it did nothing

Listen my point here isnt to rant ( It kinda is ) Its to say i feel extremely fucked over recently. Its practically like You do absolutely nothing except provide utility and maybe KS. It hasent been feeling like ad carry lately its been feeling like ad-getonyourteamsbackSoTheyCarry

I know a lot of people hate adcs. I know there are situations where ''adcs'' 2-3 shot other people but man idk.. This doesnt feel right idk whats changed.

Meanwhile Nami is too busy hitting you for 250 ebb n flows because she has a spellthiefs.

Or blitzcranks static field doing 400 to a squishy because the insane high base it has.

I just dont know

Currently ADC is one of the most diverse roles man, I think that very few people know this because for the past 5 seasons, ADCs have been recognized for having one build only which most often includes item 3031.

Luckily though, today's adc players must know the intricacies of their champions and how to optimize their damage output through items and runes and masteries... Sadly, Tristana is one of the champions who have almost no choice but to stay with the old build so tanks are kind of her weakness.

Caitlyn on the other hand requires you to use her whole kit since it has several important damage amplification points that you need to exploit, one regular hit could do 260 to a gragas but a headshot one is way more, with a item 3085 you get to do a headshot a lot more often so you kinda need to go that route... also, traps amplify your damage a LOT, if you can't trap your enemies effectively, Cait is pretty much nothing.

you hit him while he had damage reduction from his w.

if you look closely, you actually did something to him. he just healed up on his passive with scuttles heal combined. if you were in a more organized teamfight situation where you could have kept shooting his dr and passive would have ran out and he wouldnt have the additional scuttles heal. he would have eventually died while not beeing able to reach you.

if you think not being able to kill a tank fast is frustrating, then play at the other end and get inevitably shred to pieces by a champion who can kite you indefinitey, and you cant fight back.

gragas needs his ult and flash to even able to engage on a tristana. while tristana can just rely on her range and w to win in any other situation.

Thats not my point . The point is its almost in every situation do ADCS ultimately not matter in terms of raw damage anymore.

Also his drunken rage ran out. And i have played on the other side. Read example 1 please.

still he got the extra sustain from scuttles which played a large role in that situation. his passive also has a decent cooldown, so if that fight would ahve lasted longer than a few seconds you would have started to deal noticable damage.

adc damage is still important when it comes to sieging turrets and taking drakes and barons. they have some of the most powerful strategic advantage when it comes to winning the game.

i think the mistake you make there is in thinking other champions would have dealt more damage to that gragas in that situation.

over a longer period of time, yes, but so would you.

This account is my ADC account for now and it is my worst role out of all roles.

Yet even i know the real problem here is you let your games go too long. The thing you should be auto attacking right now is towers and inhibs. And when squish targets come, kill those before Grag or tanks and watch as 5 people eat that one person alive. Unless it is a bruiser who does godly damage while super tanky i doubt it is an issue. Even for trist, she has amazing kiting and range, she can keep grag away or Sej while burning her down slowly.

Also by this point you should be getting every red on your side or the enemies. Which will help you melt tanks due to true damage.

But in the end the real question is why the heck you guys let Grag hit full build before finishing the game. His not a god tier jungle for nothing, it means he can hard carry or help carry a team, so you guys let him get full build.. wtf were you thinking. Looking at the team build you guys could of won a fight early in the game as a team then close to finished a lane in that time. And if you stayed grouped for a second time you would of finished the game at 22-25 mins. Let me guess no one grouped up?

That wasent my point about gragas hitting full build.

My whole point was to say why the hell do tanks soak up so much but are now getting melted by ad and ap casters instead of adcs in general.

Because the rock paper scissors of this game have assassins and tanks as the counter to ADC. ADC beat everything else really, even mobility mages. When it comes down to it skill the the biggest counter of course but once matched it comes down to what beats what. That is what strategy games do and have always done since the dawn of time.

I hate the tanky meta too, don't get me wrong. But SOMETHING has to stop these run away ADCs and if you don't have an assassin or back line wiper you are going to have a bad time when the ADC knows how to position.

so yeah your high adc has to be currently the easiest roll in the game you have support ward cover and also you have support life sack you want to actually know what fking sucks mid lane the mid lane actually sucks they are under heavy camp right now as soon as lvl 2 ganks and more you know what happened to me recently lvl 2 gank by jg and support and you know what i died under turret because there was 3 of them at lvl 2 and i was lvl 2 they actually had full dive on me lvl 2 easy no choice and they did it 5x times in a row after that what happened after that the whole team blamed me for the state of the game even though i clearly had 0 choice i was being full dived by mid jg and support thats the actual state of the game at this point in time oh btw we did win but thats actually whats happening right now stop complaining about your adc'/ roll when you actually have the easiest roll in the game top mid jg and support have it a 100x times harder than you do all you actually have to do is play with your fking creep score stay relevant ping shit out and hope the rest of your team does ok enough to not make it a white wash

when i see adc's complain at this point in the game i cant help but rage because they are not strong right now and they also stay relevant because of there roll they actually only have to cs and can turn a game.

you want a hard roll try playing a roll that dosent involve /Right click
