Please dont Adc If your laning phase consists of just standing in one spot auto attacking constantly

DiveAlive··6 votes·1,188 views

you make yourself easy to poke/picks. you end up pushing/extending making it even easier to get caught/ganked. you expect your support to make up for your laziness, and call it their job. you blame support whenever you die due to your laziness.

other things you probably do: -dont check support or your mana bar before making a play -forget to trink and force support to constantly remind you -dont take note of enemy mid slowly creeping down the clearly warded river to gank us -dont help me contest the river brush pink wards I buy(which you dont buy) -dont even know what a rift scuttler is or what it does -dont time enemy cds for windows of opportunity -cower and run from winnable fights, and then yolo suicide plays -forget that enemys have summoner spells too -dont buy item 3123 until 40 min in -overstay -dont help your jg from invade/counterjungle

Things you should not do: -stand in one spot constantly auto attacking minions eating tons of poke weighing your support down.

Things you should do: -Attack-move...

Its called micro. There is micro, and macro. Macro is thinking of meta strategies like team comps, when to split, when to fight, when to take objective. Micro is how do it while you are doing it, in other words "skill".

A big fundamental of Micro is MOVING IN BETWEEN BASIC ATTACKS...

Ever been told to "kite them"? You may know what it is but do you understand how to do it correctly?

That is the difference between good and bad "Micro".

Micro is: -juking -dodging skillshots -landing skillshots -not missing smite -animation canceling -etc..

Macro is: -checking to see if your support has mana -map awareness -pressing tab to see what the enemy is building -buying item 3123 first against Soraka -etc...

Please don't play support if you do the following:

-Acting like a victim the whole game. -Write a post about it on gameplay of how people shouldn't play ADC. -Tell everyone else how to play and disregard your own gameplay.

Thanks :)

What part of his post was wrong?

LegacyDAP8 votes

The fact that the majority of this shit applies to everyone and he solo's out a single group of people.

#ADCLIVESMATTER

God forbid I play ADC and make mistakes, but as soon as I play any other lane it's okay according to this post.

I Go Pew Pew Pew4 votes

But which part was wrong? He is submitting gameplay tips on the gameplay board. What are you so offended by?

LegacyDAP4 votes

Where did I say it was wrong?

Of course pretty much everything he mentioned you don't want to mess up on. When you're targeting out a certain class with things that apply to all classes we have a problem. His post sounds condescending towards ADC players in general.

He also makes it sound like nobody else makes mistakes besides ADC. Honestly this post is obviously pointing fingers at a certain class.

EDIT: If he wanted to make this post for Gameplay tips he should have made the title don't play ADC if you can't do everything I said. He should have put gameplay tips for ADC's or something. He was obviously trying to start a some sort of hate towards ADC's with this post which he did successfully.

I Go Pew Pew Pew4 votes

A lot of things he said targetted ADC players....probably because he is a support and has to lane with them.

We get it, you're an ADC player. Doesn't mean you have to be offended by someone giving them advice.

LegacyDAP4 votes

You're trolling. I honestly refuse to believe you're not.

A lot of the tips he made COULD be targeted towards all players, he instead decided to just make it an ADC hate post with the title.

He's not even giving good advice, he's just telling you straight up facts that I'd say a good 97% of this community already knows.

I Go Pew Pew Pew3 votes

97% of the community obviously don't know lmfao.

LegacyDAP4 votes

Knowing =/= Applying.

I'm pretty fucking sure that the majority of people know not to face tank a team as a fucking ADC. If this post was targeted towards NEW players this would make more sense. He's targeting it towards ADC. Some of his other tips are just straight up situational and not useful since they're so linear.

I Go Pew Pew Pew3 votes

No, they don't know things that like. Just watch my games. Again, he is probably targeting ADCs because he plays support and notices what they do wrong. There really is no reason to be so overly sensitive about it.

LegacyDAP4 votes

I'm sure they do, if they don't then like I said they're new. What will watching your games do, no shit I'll see mistakes, everyone is gonna make mistakes. Including you, and that is my main problem with your whole post.

Just because I see a support fuck up multiple times I'm not gonna claim I'm playing amazingly and go to the boards to tell people to stop playing Support if they can't play it perfectly.

Basically, not gonna watch other people being called bad, while being bad themselves and refusing to correct their own mistakes first before moving on to help others.

I Go Pew Pew Pew1 votes

No where in his post did he say anything about being perfect. Or anything about blaming people for him losing. You just took offense because you play ADC. Grow a pair buddy.

LegacyDAP1 votes

They're implied in the post. You can obviously see that he's literally asking ADC to do "play perfect" not literally, but to play to his expectations, when apparently he can't do that himself.

I didn't take offense because I play ADC, I took offense because your mentality is stupid, and this mentality corrupts League:

"I'm better than my team mates and I need to point out every mistake they did wrong and show them how bad they are, regardless that my performance isn't up to par either."

I Go Pew Pew Pew2 votes

Except pointing out mistakes has nothing to do with thinking you're better than someone. Wow you're sensitive lol.

If hes paying so much attention to his adc and every single mistake hes making then i doubt hes paying attention to the actual game or doing anything to help his adc at all.

Actually 97% of the community do know but don't apply sometimes.

He could be bronze 5. I'd rather get tips from a high ranked player.

I Go Pew Pew Pew5 votes

If the tip is accurate, what does it matter what the ranking is? Did you play football in college? Did you tell your coach he isn't an NFL player, so he can't tell you want to do?

AramsAreBest2 votes

Most college coaches have played at college level. The ones that haven't have credentials that prove they are experienced and know what they're doing.

LegacyDAP5 votes

I accept tips from all players. When they decide to make it their own "hate on a certain class post" it's fucking annoying.

I wouldn't recommend buying item 3123 solely for a Soraka. ADCs need their damage. The support would usually take ignite if the team has enough CC. That is enough, and also I would recommend playing a hard engage support against her. Not necessary, but if you're really struggling that much that you think your ADC should waste 800 gold, then that is a good alternative.

I think people are going too overboard when facing Soraka in Bronze and Silver after her major power spike a few months ago that brought her back as one of the top supports. Yes she's a primary target, and yes she should always be in the back of your mind, but don't exaggerate how powerful she is. That will net you loss really quickly if all you think about is the Soraka. I've seen people die just to kill a Soraka, and it's not worth it.

Another thing is that normally you will have an assassin mage that will either be Katarina or they will buy item 3165 . If you don't, a hard engage support like Leona with ignite is more than enough to deal with her in lane. Even just causing them to waste a flash is successful.

I agree with some of the other things you said, but the Soraka thing seems so specific.

but how else am i supposed to blame you for my terrible performance?

LegacyDAP5 votes

It's funny, because the irony is OP is doing the same thing.

Beldair3 votes

This sounds like one of those I'm gonna just post this because I think all ADCs are bad because of how a few ADCs I played with were...

Most of those fit a lot of roles...now there are actually some ADCs that must stand still for their AAs to be good... Kog'maw being a prime example of that fact.

I play adc the way i do. Misclicking every other auto and walking into my death 1v5. :^)
