sick of being in low elo (need help)

Speeedy·Mar 8, 2017·2 votes·393 views

I was a dota player (equivalent to low diamond elo) who came to this game in season 6 and found myself really liking adc role. This role is nearly impossible to rank up in. I watch my demos to see what I can do to improve but over half of my games I do not make many mistakes. My other games is a constant feed fest and my small leads that I do have in lane are completely wiped out. I do not understand how people die so many times in 10 min. My last game yesterday i was 1/0/0 at 10 min with a 30 cs lead. My team score was 1 to 11.

How do you get teammates to listen to you to back off? Example we got a kill, we don't have to tower dive with no minions
Get supports to lay vision? I tend to lay more wards than my supports
Choose priority targets in fights? Ping target on them doesn't work

Playing adc to climb right now is not an easy thing, having a 54% winrate on Caitlyn and twitch is pretty good, I recommend picking up Ashe , you can make picks, you have poke, built in cc, and scales very well. Builds: Cookie cutter item 3031 item 3085 item 3508 item 3072 item 3036 item 3026 I hate lethality item 3046
I hate ap assassins/mages item 3156

Basically item 3031 Damage item 3085 Necessity item 3046 Passive can save your life take a read: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Phantom_Dancer item 3072 Not always necessity but very useful you can heal through a lot of assassins damage or through poke item 3036 Because Tanks (IF THERE ARE NO TANKS DONT GET IT) item 3156 Because Ap assassins and mages + clutch lifesteal item 3026 You know why you be this, and if you don't, that is why you are dying late game (only build 4th, 5th, or 6th item) item 3094 If you need range and are getting zoned in fights. item 3153 you can shred people reliably and with the new changes coming in 7.5 it should work well on ashe item 3139 If enemy has cc and hates you item 3033 If they have heavy healing/soraka

Ashe being able to make picks and have her own peel is very good at the moment, can easily turn the tide of the game, if your teammates are feeding, just focus on what you can do.

the builds are not my problem but i think i will pick up ashe to help my team get picks, cause you cant really do that with cait or tristana. Twitch you can but its risky.

Problem with supports right now, IMO, is that so many people are being auto filled as support and have no idea how to support.

Use pings...I generally ping 2-3 times for my teammates to maybe get the idea...it's generally a 50/50 chance. If I know my laner is going to their lane. I'll ping up the river, starting my lane then working up so they get the idea there's danger heading up. If my MIA is still missing in 3-5 seconds, I'll ping it again. Pings are your BFF. If only one bot lane is missing. Ping mia then I'll mention it in chat. It's easier for me to mention it though as I play support. As adc it would be harder. Every 3 CS or so, look at all of mini-map and see if you can see any threats close to you or anyone...ping if you do.
If they are good supports they will auto lay vision when they can safely do so without getting themselves or you killed (exp: if they think it's okay to leave you 1v2 for bit). I mean other then asking them nicely, there's not much you can do. Sadly with the poke/mage meta not many like to because they want the damage. This is why I hate this Meta. If the support won't see if the other teammates will help and see if you can get the jungler to lay some deep wards.
Before fighting or after a bad fight, maybe do a pre/post "okay guys on the next fight lets try to focus....." generally most low elo players tend to listen to the best/most fed person on the team (well most of the time I find that they do). Being in low elo myself most people just wanna go after who ever is right in their face even if it's the tanky person not the one dealing the damage, so getting the focus is hard. If you have any time of CC for your ADC use it to try to pick your target. That generally will make everyone jump on that person. If you can land an Ashe R or Varus R on the right carry then the focus is right.
