Is it better to be a Jungler or an ADC?

{quoted}

Title

Seem these are the role that has the most spotlight in solo Q

I FIND IT EXTREMELY FUNNY THAT ANYBODY WHO SAID JUNGLE GOT DOWNVOTED

The fucking ADC hate is so real on these boards.

To answer your question, The silver and bronze players are going to tell you ADC is better if you want the spotlight role.

The good players that dont come to these boards are going to tell you that Jungler is better.

ADCs will find themself relying on their team more often than not for engages team fights peel and objectives. As a Jungler you are the shot caller, you are the person that snowballs lanes, you are the engage most of the time.

The better Jungler wins in this meta.

Why not both?

(Support... do it...)

I guess I’d recommend jg. Adc’s make a big impact but they don’t get to make many macro decisions to impact the game. It’s kind of like being a gun that your team carries around and points at the enemy.

If you want to climb, it's objectively jungler.

why not both?

that way, you don't have to deal with braindead supports.

I love being a jungler. Being big daddy lets me help out the bronzoids that feed in my games and give me a sense of control, when otherwise I'd be stuck in a lane and hope my jungler has the agency and sense of mind to help out the other lanes and secure objectives.

I'm usually left disappointed, and my personal motto is to never expect things of others if I can't do them myself, so I jungle for those who can't.

edit: if you're gonna ADC, make sure you can get CS and capitalize on every opportunity with your support or jungler, or you can't do yer jerb and carry.

JG can have the biggest impact on a game. If a jg gets a couple lanes fed or very far ahead the game is over if they use their advantages correctly. While if you are an ADC....if your support is bad or you are countered hard in lane you are screwed without jg help.

Depends.

Jungler, more early game impact and can snowball easily if done correctly and objective control.

ADC, more so farming for items and waiting for a 5v5.

Jungle is a trash role that has no impact on the game. I'm sure other people tell you otherwise, but you're just meaningless after the first 5 mins of the game. Your job is basically to get your lanes a small lead and then hope they don't int their faces off while you provide nothing in team fights.

ADC is the god role right now after 15 mins nothing else matters at all, if you play better then the other ADC you will win. Period end of story.

If you are looking to melee ad carry, and picking blind, it is way better to be jungle. But that isn't exactly meta.

Jungle obviously, with things like Jaz you can have great dmg along with tankiness and he is a great carry too, you can effectively win other lanes by helping them. Jungle is a extremely impactful roles,the thing is at a certain point the adc shines more then the jungle, that is when teamfights happen which is why you need a feed adc at that point. Jungles win early game and adc win late game, but because games are shorter adc end up having alot more impact, that being said jungles still are the best in solo q, a good jungle wins games.

The one problem i have is sometimes the guy is just bad so focus other lanes. That being said only do this if your lanes gets solo killed after you already successfully ganked them and helped kill them but the still lose 1v1.

Right now I'd say jungle simply for the fact that games are decided very early and usually the jungler has the most saying on how it goes. As an ADC you have very little agency on how the early game goes, unless the enemy botlane is so bad that you can kill them over and over. You're also very reliant on someone else during the laning phase. As jungle you have many more options to make sure your team can snowball. Find a midlane duo and just 4 man gank botlane all the time and claim your free elo.

It generally depends on your preferences. If you have really good mechanics and laning skills, then adc is better. But if you have really good map awareness and macro knowledge, then jungle is better.

Realistically, jungle is better for climbing in almost every meta since you get to freely impact whatever lanes you want to and get your whole team ahead, rather than just yourself.

For example, winning a 1v1 fight does not benefit your team as much as winning a 2v1 fight/gank does, with assist gold and spreading the rewards.

Out of these two, jungle. I used to a D2 adc, main but last season I just could not climb. Regardless to popular belief, adcs hold very little agency over the game right now. If the adc carries, it's because his support did everything in their power to keep them alive, and because his jungler sat bot. I got tired of dominating lane as adc to lose games. I was frustrated because I was stuck in plat and couldn't climb as my best role - adc. I switched to jungle/mid and shot up to diamond real fast. Lol.

On a trend basis- Jungle is the role that allows the highest skilled players to climb the most quickly. ADCs have to go against coordinated, duoQ'd botlanes so it's no contest.

If you're making a personal choice-- if your MACRO is good, go jungle. It's a rarer skill and it's wasted playing ADC.

A good jungler is more of an asset than a good ADC; a good jungler will get 2 lanes ahead, a good ADC will be camped by the enemy jungler and very possibly their midlaner. Also, a jungler ultimately relies on no one; as someone who sometimes plays ADC, getting a non-functional support can cripple you if both enemy laners are competent, not to mention the enemy roamers....

Junglers. Hands down. Dragons are so important. Rift Herald can get you an inhib at 15 minutes. I've done it. Several times.

I think it’s situational, really. Could go either way.

jungler for sure. As adc you don't actually have much agency over the first 10 minutes of the game.

A jungler has the most control over the map if that's your thing. It really depends on your playstyle. Out of all the roles, it scales the hardest with game knowledge and an objective-oriented mindset. Requires a thick skin to main jungling, as it has the most responsibility, which often leads to taking the blame when things go wrong.

ADC arguably takes the most mechanical effort, but basically adheres to rock-paper-scissors when it comes to team comps/match-making, largely due to their lack of self-sufficiency compared to other roles. Requires patience, as you are squishy as hell, and a lot of what goes on will be out of your control for most of the game.

Basically, jungling and bot-laning are near polar opposites with how they approach the game.

Jungler can win bot top and mid.

Bot lane can win bot and carry game.

Jungling doesnt take long to get good at.

Bot lane requires a bit more than jungling.

Both are pretty much the same, but adc requires more skill.

after plat, you can have more impact as an ADC. if you're below plat and only marginally better than your enemies, then your best bet is jungling or a solo lane (preferably a champion that can both damage turrets and wave clear)
