Low elo ADCs are actually pretty impressively skilled nowadays

Their ability to jump in front of every skillshot, without fail, is shocking.

I'm actually completely astonished at how many ADCs and junglers in low elo opt into "I just want to farm" and come out of it with 50 cs less than their opponent. It's kinda like those people who say "I'm only good at Riven top" then go 3-11. It just makes you wonder, if that is the only aspect of the game they focus on and they can't even do that, how did they even figure out how to install the game?

It's called consistency, guys, and they have it.

Hey! I'll have you know we also eat every auto attack with impressive skill as well, thank you very much. But you're not wrong.

I appreciate it, when I play Yorick I don't like getting hit by poke. Makes it easier to carry the 0/8 ADC when they are tanking the big CC skillshots for me.

I actually have an adc main friend who's Lucian is super good, i've duo queued with him as support and we do good in lane, he's gotten a penta that saved the game and a quadrakill at eight minutes, dudes insane for a bronze player

I dodge every skill shot. Its when my support makes me miss a cannon and I have to stop and flame him do I get thresh hooked. /s

It is almost as impressive as the tops I have that manage to feed, even though they are never in literally any team fights, even if they start in one and run from it. It truly is a sight to see.

If you were in promos to Silver or higher, would you intendly fail it or change your summoner name?

They should be supports, with that kind of skill :D

We need to take these low elo ADCs and make them play Braum support. They'd do a lot more good that way.

Not just low ELO, Platinum and Diamond ADCs are barely any better. My friends and I have all found that the ADC player is usually the "worst" player on the team ironically. I've played with and against Diamond ADCs that have made plays so boosted that no one was ever able to deny that man has went to the moon afterwards.

I don't think that ADC players are just somehow worse than everyone else. The main reason to why ADCs players appear so bad right now is probably because almost every meta champion can 100-0 solo an ADC. Almost any champion, from Poppy to Katarina will kill an ADC in a 1 v 1. Some champions such as Vi or Hecarim will always kill the ADC in a team fight unless the team peels really well.

ADCs can literally never be alone after the laning phase. The only real exception is Vayne who can hold her own in a 1 v 1. Furthermore, all the strong ADCs right now are those with long range so they can stay further away from the enemy team such as Caitlyn Varus and Twitch.

Higher ELO ADCs are definitely a lot better at kitting and positioning than low ELO ADCs, but in the current meta no matter how well ADCs kite they will still probably die. The only right play is to either not be there in the first place or bail at the risk of losing the fight and re-position elsewhere. The best players have already adapted to the current meta, but a lot of the mid to high ELO players haven't caught on fully, and even if they play better than their lower ELO bretherns, the result is still the same

Don't forget how no matter how hard you carry if the game is at all close they will get caught out and throw.

My top lane riven couple games ago. Riven:"Omg singed? Lol ez lane" I shit you not, 2 minutes later she gave first blood and fed the rest of the game. "Ez lane" my ass

Every time I play support my ADC makes the enemy bronze Thresh look like American Sniper.

i think the real trick to adcs is not canceling autos and buying item 3072

I was pretty impressed with my ADC. She left us for 20 minutes cause she had to make a phone call with her Dad.
