So why is it that they are the only class who gets to be called "carries" meanwhile, mages and juggernauts can carry a team just fine but they aren't called APCs or JCs or whatever. When Ziggs went bot lane everyone went crazy over it saying mages can't go bot lmao. I just want a new meta. Please.
duckarp2 votesErm, not sure about NA, but in EU it's pretty standard to call mages APC (usually the midlaners).
Dynikus2 votesbut they aren't called APCs
Yes they are. Mages didn't traditionally go bot for more than just not being called carries. They tend to be immobile, so the shortest lane that's the hardest to gank is fine. They offer a lot as far as objective control goes, so they can easily get to blue buff, dragon, or rift harold. They can either roam top or bot to gank for them. They tend to be more reliant on levels, so solo lane xp is good. They have good wave clear, so they can hold off sieges well or clear a wave to go roam.
ZILLAGULA1 votesBecause they are carries by nature.
All mages aren't carries. All juggernauts aren't carries either.
EpicMusic1 votesJust saying that anyone can go bot lane with a support and carry the game.
ZILLAGULA1 votesYou asked why they were the only role called Carry. And that is because every single marksman's purpose is to carry the game.
duckarp1 votesYes, where is the problem? Some people complain about mages/juggernauts bot because they are used to some constant ranged AD damage. Mages and juggernauts work a bit differently, so it's hard for them to embrace a different strategy.
Top - tank Mid - AP mage Jungle - bruiser/diver Bot - ADC and support
Anything else is "troll" in their eyes. Just mute them unless you're in Master/Challenger. Meta slaves can't be reasoned with.
Dynikus2 votesADCs tend to go bot with a support because they're more reliant on items than xp, so shared xp isn't an issue. They don't generally have much peel and need someone else to help them due to their weak early game, so they have a support. They're generally good at sieging, so capping bot tower and then roaming mid can be done relatively easily. The reason ziggs can go bot is he can harass and wave clear, and has even better sieging than they do, plus bot is the easiest tower to destroy now.
The meta is the way it is and has been for going on 7 seasons for a reason.
RQ Amiable1 votesadcs cant carry. at all lmao
Eternal7911 votesThen you haven't played with a good one or just don't want to admit it. Cause I've seen plenty of adc's wipe the floor with the entire enemy team and end up with double or more kills of the rest of their team. Playing as Jinx, I've been the soul reason my team ever made it to the nexus and destroyed it. However, I will say it is often easier for other roles to end up carrying. This is mainly due to ADC's having to rely on someone else to also do good for them to do good. Everyone else primarily relies on them selves with the occasional gank from the jungler.
