Can we stop saying "x" role is easy

ADC is easy because you only have to right click Support is easy because you get carried Top is easy because you only have to farm Mid is easy because you only have to win your lane Jungle is easy because you only have to gank

Honestly, can we just all agree that each role is hard in a different way? I guess this is coming from a guy who plays every single role in the game, but I think each different role is hard in it's own way, and I see people saying x role is super easy, and x role is way harder than y role. Honestly, it's just a bunch of stupid.

Oh and correct positioning for each of these roles is hard as well from what I've noticed, and that's usually what makes the role hard (for me atleast).

"Mid is easy because you only have to win your lane."

Do people actually use that as an explanation? How is winning lane considered easy?

That and roam, but yes it's a common thing that I've seen, even though that goes for any role.

Some people must think getting the first tower down and then roaming is the only way to play mid...and then 10m later the enemy mid laner pushes to Inhibitor

As much as I like roaming after the first tower is down (which I'll admit the game punishes more), that's stupid in mid.

Support is honestly easy. You stand around doing nothing until the enemy gets in a bad position then you just combo and let adc cleanup. The reason you think all roles are equally hard is because you don't play one specific role enough.

That's honestly the reason I didn't like support. Kept getting bored. Then I discovered the joy of Sion support.

Lol, whatever works. I played that too in ranked and I won, and I played tons of Trundle support back in the day.

It's soooo much fun. I get to be a tank, and still be a damage threat to the enemy team. That's why I didn't like support, I could never be a threat when alone. Sion though, I have a blast.

You also have to get your ADC fed, and maintain better vision control for your team, and if you have an incompetent ADC it makes it even harder. You also usually have the most active items in the game, which is hard to take control of, and protecting the ADC is probably the hardest part of support, because if they're good you don't have to worry too much, but when they're bad it's a whole new story.

I like my role the best. Feeding is easy.

i think jgling is the hardest role. just cuz its completely different from the other lanes. people rely on you much more. like if your mid or bot or top you just worry about yourself early to midgame really. but if your a jgler and you dont gank a lane they will blame it all on you why they lost. jgler usually also needs to know when to get drag, ward up, and deal with jg monsters which i think in this patch is more difficult.

I think it's fine to think there is a hardest role, even though each role is unique and harder for others, but an easy role? I don't think that exists, not like an opinionated easy role. Like when people act like it's a fact if a role is easy.
