What is the worst ADC to support/ worst support as an ADC?

Mael bro·Feb 8, 2016·6 votes·3,341 views

I'm just curious. Which ADC bring nothing to the table in the laning phase and brings no reward with supporting properly? Cause i've noticed that a lot of people say that supporting an is a thankless job. Ez has subpar damage early game and generaly build things like and can't win trades for jack shit and avoid any fights. I've also noticed that the thing that bothers me from supports is . Cause her base health is one of the lowest in the game also she's one of the most nerfed supports ever and any hard engage can screw her up real bad.

As someone who mains sona, I probably get more flak when I do well, than when I'm behind.

The correct response to getting saved by your support is thank you, not Fcking KS'er

And they continue to complain about kills, not taking notice that I've kept the enemy zoned from their CS, allowed them to CS without harass, all while keeping constant vision of the river, preventing ganks.

Well there are times when it can be pretty blatant they did it on purpose, such as saving that one skill to "secure" the kill when they had like 1 HP and you had an auto already flying to them.

Admittedly that hardly ever happens (and when it does, it's more often a friend), but it can exist

Funny thing about that, I've had instances where I may be the first to cast, but the kill hungry Assassin, (I think it was an Akali) engages her full combo, before my ability can even land. Inadvertently giving me the kill.

Other times, I'm the only one in position to even get the kill. In my previous example, the enemy was actually a non traditional Swain/Talon combo, which was incredibly easy to poke out. But my ADC was Varus, and since he chose to stay behind the minion line to farm. I was always 3 paces ahead of him. I also tend to stack MS items, giving me some of the best chase potential on the team.

Vayne These guys are just too toxic and do nothing but feed.

Bard Having a bard support is worse than having an afk support. He just leaves lane to collect his tampons while you constantly get tower dove by their bot lane. Then the bard accuses you of intentional feeding when you are trying to freeze lane under tower. Not to mention they go thunderlords degree and take ignite because they think they are an ap assassin.

If that's your impression of a legitimate Bard player then you haven't seen a real Bard.

WadeWilson1337Feb 9, 20161 votes

Thunderlords is actually by far Bards best keystone and he has ALOT of kill pressure early game. I cant tell you how many lvl 1 or lvl 2 cheese ive seen with ignite bard

i'll give you the Ezreal , i'd also say Jhin right now because no one knows how to properly lane with him.

OnegarionFeb 8, 20161 votes

Lane with him? I'm just waiting for people to wise up and take him mid and stop making him an ADC.

Mael broFeb 8, 20161 votes

Amen

AckelopeFeb 9, 20161 votes

He's fun down bot though :c

OnegarionFeb 10, 20161 votes

fun maybe, but his strength is more in mid and less as an ADC.

twitch or vayne is the hardest to sup. as vayne will either dive or just get harassed into the ground. and twitch just has no mobility and a terrible early game without items.

and if i have a nami/sona/soraka, and im going against a blitz/leona/thresh, its literally up to you to position correctly, i wont get hooked, ill be behind minions, i know better, but you're the one whos going to be 0/4 and flaming me for not going in/saving/dieing with you.

DrehirthFeb 8, 20161 votes

Vayne easily. I spent forever in a pokewar trying to keep them off of us. They get any resemblence of low without burning their summoners and she flashes in or does something stupid and throws it all out the window. Bard is easily the most annoying support to have. I've only had 1 good bard(and there have been plenty) others are in lane like 30% of the time and or ruin anything i set up on my own with their ultimate.

Sona worst support? She has oppressive poke at least, try to go with Lux support and watch her get instagibbed because she has no hard CC and everything is skillshot based.

Mael broFeb 9, 20161 votes

Point and click aoe burst on E says otherwise

WadeWilson1337Feb 9, 20161 votes

lux has such mana problems that as support she will go oom within a few of those es.

VexfulFeb 8, 20161 votes

Ezreal Usually the thirstiest ADC I run into and if they die early it is ALWAYS you're fault as the supp. You backed and got sightstone? He just 1v2'd and "why'd you back omg muted". If he's ahead he doesn't stop bragging in all chat.

Leona "Omg why didnt you follow up when I dove through a fresh minion wave and with their jungler in the river on way bot?".

Being in the same lane as Vayne brings back traumatic memories.

Silver FluffenbuFeb 8, 20161 votes

Soraka I would rather build lifesteal and have any support other than Soraka.

Tristana I have a hard time synergizing with Trists more often than not.

Personally hate supporting for an Ezreal , they tend to play safer than safe, too safe most of the time... like if you get hit by enemy ADC once, your Ez is already running back to base... I don't mind safe but it can not be up to me to zone them, poke them, stop the push, as well as do all my Support duties. I also don't like Supporting Vayne , they will farm and do nothing all game. If the enemy dives you they will use this chance to... farm... sit there making sure the tower doesn't take minions while you die, then run when you are dead so they also wont die. Obviously late game they will 3 shot everyone so it works out but its still not much fun.

I don't mind Supporting anyone as long as they are nice, if you aren't good at ADC just tell me so and i can play safer or more protective, but don't be bad and blame me. So most of all I hate supporting for rude and mean ADC's who do not respect that i am the one carrying them.

As an adc main i hate having Taric and Sona supports. Taric cuz hes just an utterly useless champion. And Sona b/c if you get her as a support and the person isnt good at her, your laning phase will be a shitstorm. I've had soooo many Sona's feed in lane cuz theyre WAAAYYY too focused on being extremely aggressive instead of playing smart.

JavelinJoeFeb 9, 20161 votes

Currently i would say either Twitch or Jinx is the worst ADC because their early game is almost lower than shit tier. They get no pressure until they reach level 6. Jinx's most recent nerf made her even worse in early game. Both are almost entirely basic attack based, and fully ad reliant. And with SO MANY OPTIONS for armor now, they can't compete with burst ADCs who at least can nuke 1 or 2 targets before they have to deal with the heavy armor champions. Both will do fine late game though if you reach late game.

As for supports, I would say that it is Nautilus. Every other support does his job better right now. Thresh and Blitz have more useful pulls/hooks, leona has better cc. morgana makes him useless. Braum is better. Lulu is more useful. Brand hurts more. Nami and Sona and Soraka heal better. Taric is more tankier and has better cc and a heal.

Sivir : I find sivir to be incredibly underwhelming. Whenever there's a sivir in my game she doesn't do shit for damage.

No real support I don't like. I love Bard , he's unique and fun. The only real support I have trouble with is Soraka . Mainly because I prefer a more combat oriented support to a healer.

HidingBidoofFeb 9, 20161 votes

I just don't understand Twitch at all. He is just doesn't seem very good to me compared to every other ADC.

Corki KogMaw Urgot Twitch are my least favorite champions to support.

Something about them throws me off... One Corki/twitch/kog can absolutely destroy the opponents in lane, the next time they deal no damage to the enemy what-so-ever. There is something about them that feels like a coin-flip before the game even started.

And for Urgot... While I think I only saw Urgot when someone called a role and didn't get it. They just go into some weird prepubescent temper tantrum troll mode. You know, when they're saying something like 'ok dude you brought this on urself. shoulda let me have mid. now u lose.'

As for my adcing preferred supports, give me a raka/nami/bard and let me farm for days. I don't want to engage them, I want to farm until my team carrys me. lol

WadeWilson1337Feb 9, 20161 votes

Kogmaw. if i have to support a Kogmaw, i instadodge. I dont even wait to see if other people will do it, i just want to forget that champion even exists. As for a support...probably any of the troll "i dont support so im going to play whatever i was going to play top anyways" like volibear or malphite or the other countless troll picks. But if i had to pick a legitmate support, probably Bard. For every good play he makes he will make 2-3 bad ones.

but volibear and malhpite support have been a thing for years. theyre difficult and situational (theyre certainly not something you pick for and with everyone) but theyre not troll picks. A good volibear support compliments ADCs with CC very well. a good malhpite support compliments more bursty ADCs.

GentzerFeb 9, 20161 votes

As a Twitch player, supporting Twitch is difficult. Only really good Twitch's can trade properly, and if they can't, they are squishy and easily caught and snowballed on.

Worst support to have? Blitzcrank. If they aren't good at hooking they have legit no reason to be there.

Supports & junglers are often the most thankless positions; and often the first to be left hung out to dry. With the removal of assist-sprees supports are even more starved than before; both in gold and feeling like they're accomplishing something. But I agree sona has been nerfed the most of supports.
