Call me an Idiot but what defines a solo carry

Reksee·Nov 24, 2018·2 votes·775 views

I know that and are solo carries. But what makes them solo carries? I really wanted to know because I made a thread about how some people were complaining about the overly team oriented status of the game, and how people should come up with concepts so that Riot would maybe follow player concepts like they did with Solar and Lunar Eclipse Leona. I want to contribute, but first I need to know what makes a solo carry a solo carry and design skill concepts accordingly.

Basically tell me how solo carries are solo carries!

I would normally leave a comment here that just said "idiot" and thought it was funny because I was fulfilling the request in the thread title

But I know the mods don't read OPs before they press the ban button

So just imagine this comment is replaced by that single word

there isnt really a clear cut definition of a solo carry, considering every champion is absolutely busted in their own way in certain situations.

but the general consensus is champions who can kill a bunch of the enemy team.

A solo carry is a champion who can fulfill all jobs required to win a game. They are usually scaling champions.

They generally have these traits (some "solo carry" champions may be missing one): • Wave clear • 1v1 power • 2v1 potential • High outplay potential • High objective damage (turrets, drags, or both) • Escape tools

Here are some solo carry champions in each role: Top: Jax Camille Irelia Jungle: MasterYi Camille Graves Mid: Ekko Irelia Yasuo ADC: Vayne

The true solo carry role is support.

Solo=Alone Carry=Win/Support team Put those words together and you got: A solo carry is someone who can all support his team and win with outstanding individual performance.

a champion that when fed enough can 1v5

for example. if u take a champion like Irelia MasterYi Jax Pyke Yasuo

this is due to things like untargetability Pyke MasterYi , dodge Jax , absurd movement, Yasuo Azir Pyke and damage reduction Irelia .. along with the damage and and not needed to really worry about cooldowns, and usually a form of CC as well Irelia Jax Pyke Yasuo
