i mean...you attack what's closest to you....NEVER try to dive past the enemy front line as an ADC...lots of noobs will ask you why u didnt dive the carries, they are the incorrect ones, you just stand behind ur front line and attack whatever is safely in range of you.

I dont dive anyone. I just attack the closest person or if two ppl are equally close, i attack the ones my allies cc.

sounds to me like you need to practice kiting and orbwalking. the only way you could fall over like you say you do is if you stand still and auto. you have to constantly move back and side to side as an ADC so u dont get hit by skillshots or by their front line

So I am attacking the alistare. He is closest to me. I am behind lux, graves and nautilus who are chasing someone gnar. I can only hit alistare. Suddenly, Xin runs past everyone and closes on me. I am dead. WHat should I have done.

Nothing. You need peel, and that is why people say that you shouldn't adc in lower elos. If you don't get peel, the xin will run past everyone and kill you. If you have peel they stun/cc him and you destroy him, then move on to the next person.

How's your team comps usually? If you don't have a front line it can be extremely hard to play ADC

But generally speaking, you will stay behind your tanks and hit whatever is closest to you (generally this will be the enemy front line)

thats what I do. Sometimes. I even use attack move. But for instance, last game the ap rumble would jsut walk past fiora and harpoon ult me and i was dead. Or I stunned riven when she was fighting fiora, and she just dashed past fiora and killed me. then killed fiora. Or tahm would just tounge lash me and i would loose 25% of my hp and then rumble would kill me or maybe tahm would just do it by himself.

None of that should ever really happen if you're standing behind your team / with your team.

If someone trys to just "walk up" to you, they should get cc'd and shredded by your team. (assuming they arent fed). This tells me either A) you have pretty much no peel in these situations from your team, or B) you aren't in a position that your team CAN peel for you.

Being the ADC is all about positioning. You want to stay behind your tanks, don't dive anyone, and learn to Orbwalk. Orbwalking is walking side-to-side when your attack goes off. There are a lot of videos on it; It's hard to explain here.

Also, always be nice to your support, and learn how they play. If they're a holder like Morgana, try to let them land a CC spell before you go in. If they're Braum, Stand Behind Braum™!

This next part is VERY important, so I'm going to put it in big, bold, italicized letters: NEVER ASSUME YOU ARE THE SHIT! ASSUME YOU ARE SHIT! I CANNOT EMPHASIS THIS ENOUGH OH MY GOD THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to help you then. Just stop playing and accept that you'll be bronze forever.

Jesus, can he ask for help in a role without getting flamed? The Tutorial doesn't teach you how to play a role good, either. They tell you to rush Thornmail on Ashe for god's sake!

this guy is just an asshole. hes on the boards all the time.

So many noobs forget to rush Thornmail on Ashe nowadays.

How are you dieing? What lets them do dmg when you can't? Why aren't you doing that?

Woook3r1 votes

they are able to do dmg because they do more dmg and are tankier.

4th Chiming Lamb1 votes

And why is that?

Woook3r1 votes

because its sated xin?

4th Chiming Lamb1 votes

Ban Xin. Xin is the definition of "FUCK YOU, ADC!", especially when he's Sated.
