Diamond perspective: Hardest to easiest roles in the game!

Arsames··7 votes·17,923 views

From hardest to easiest:

  1. Mid: No contest, no discussion. Mid lane is the hardest role in the game, game knowledge, mech0nix and skills are vital for this role. In no other position does the individual shine more than in mid lane. The worlds best League of Legendary player is also a mid main, Faker Senpai!

  2. Jungle: Pretty hard, to jungle effectively, you need to understand the game on a different level than laners do. The jungle game is entirely seperate from mid/top/bot playstyle. It is almost a new game when you play jungle.

  3. Bot - ADC: The role that has dominated and been the most popular and allways effective role in pro-play and solo Q. While this role is very powerful, you start out weak and the majority of your damage comes from right click auto attacks from ranged, which puts this role lower than the two above it.

  4. Top: What seperates top from mid is that top has less impact on the game and less carry champions that require skillz and mech0nix are played top. Top is usually an afk meta with tanky champions, the only thing that top laners have to master is their tp timing if they run it, if they don't, then it is one of the easiest roles in the game. Recommended for beginners.

  5. Bot - Support: The easiest role in the game by far, if you want easy mode high elo, become a support main. Not much mech0nix or skills needed, your job is to help your ADC and cover for him and let him carry you. Most support champions are 0 skill fr00b champs that require no mech0nix, that is why the only support Champions I will ever respect are the risky play makers: Blitzcrank Thresh Nautilus . At least with these h00kz you can make some plays, but still, the difficulty of supporting is laughable. Recommended for beginners and those who want to play easy mode.

As a reminder, the actual roles someone finds hard/easy will likely not match up with what one diamond player says.

He's probably basing it off of his own experiences then, but I must agree with him. I find all the roles easy to play, but mid was definitely one of the hardest. You had to win your lane, and other people's lanes, but not only that you had to have the game dependent on you the whole time.

it has the most meaningful chooice involved

a dumb ass going Yasuo can lose as easy as he can win where as a Ahri can sit back wait for team and even late game tank meta be the best peeler bait securer

biase like the op but between that and the two windows of being ganked ya its easily the hardest to learn right and with the biggest visible impact on the game

jungles are usless most game that might jsut be my elo though

that's just ur elo, as you will find that mid and jungle are usually the deciding factors of a games outcome.

im sorry but supp is harder then adc...

adc is farming and kiting while right clicking... lame mens term but ya..

a supp has to guard some of the most abusive players while warding/dewarding and assting other as well. you have a very generic lacking veiw of supps.

mid i 100% agree whit you jungle not so much and i do sorta agree with top lane....

top lanes might no show the affect the have. but they do have a fairly big effect

Why is there a sudden hate for supports lately?

I don't like putting my fate in a complete stranger's hand. Being a support means giving someone else the glory, but taking all the responsibility if they crash. A good support always keeps their ADC's vision high, pings correctly, takes the damage, and helps poke down or zone the enemy ADC so that they can get farm or fed. It's kinda sad how under appreciated that is in a game about teamwork.

I understand you're a Faker fan boy, but umm... We all know Pawn is much better than Faker.

That Pawn kill on Faker is one of my favourite plays in LoL, but Faker is still the best player in League of Legendary.

I'm not a troll, technically I'm more of a gadfly. Just a highly opinionated person with some logical points, some irrational points (yes, I admit it), and alternates between being an ass at times and being friend or even stern. Yeah, I admit I got my faults, but I'm at least trying.

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1852353047/211846831?tab=overview ik youve heard me say it over and over...

my sole biggest problem is dealing with uncoopeative stupid teams...

at the 18 min mark the reason i didnt die with them.. was after waiting and waiting i pinged im going bot for a big cs wave. i was half way there and they chose to go in knowing i was going bot.... they died in the middle of the lane not under turrret... amumu was asked jsut like leo to get thorn mail becuase its Ashe

instead of item 3725 he went item 3068 and ultimately self nerfed cuase he needed item 3075 idk about you or high elo but down here if the emnemy has ashe Ashe and you dont have MasterYi you have to get item 3075 if you dont you will lsoe every team fight jsut becuase of ashe down here

Gold 5 ayyy lmaoooooo! Yes, support is the easiest role in the game. If you get a bad ADC, then that is the same as getting bad team. Botlane has the luxary of duo Q premade bot and easy mode diamond, gg. Also, bad ADC are rare to find, since the only thing ADC needs to do is right click when you as a support engage or land an ability. Bot lane is easy, support is the easiest.

Lucent Rengar1 votes

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you looked me up. did you also see how i got to gold? took me like a month. what tier are you again? like bronze? you prob been stuck in bronze for like 2 yrs. hit me up if you want me to carry you.

Why is this downvoted? Could it be that the unskilled Support maining garbage are salty about the truth?

Maria the Fox3 votes

I think it might be something to do with a no-name dude spewing out a list which he is trying to make a fact, but is only based solely on single biased opinion.

And jungle being 2nd hardest? Please, anyone can play PvE.

1000angrybees1 votes

People find different positions easier or more difficult based on their personality and playstyle, and no position is inherently easy.

Some of you are disgustingly crass and need to lighten up. No one wants to play with that dry ass attitude either.

loOOoololo yeah afk farming mid sooo hard. Inb4 'muh mana management doe': item 1076 item 1076

Midlane is the easiest lane, because you are hard to be ganked (the lane is the shortest and the meta champions all have mobility and waveclear, so you can farm safely). You can also go bot and top or gank their jungler. Botlane is the hardest, because people like to gank you (junglers, midlaners, top with TPs), but you have to care not only for that, but also for the enemy laners, who will kill you, if they can; you will also have to cooperate with another person.

personally i find the adc role the hardest followed by mid top jungle then support but thats just me, and i play every role

WarlockLaw1 votes

Considering mid is one of my best roles but I can't for the life of me be relevant as adc I'm gonna go ahead and say that adc is harder than mid. Also imo jungle is by far the most important as you have to be aware of what every other person in the game is doing, and how best to deal with any lead the enemy gains.
