ADC mains are dickheads (from an ADC main)

When I came on to this board, I noticed a lot of hate towards ADC mains, I main ADC and I never understood the reason.

I guess in most of my games our team has a nice, non toxic ADC, but last game, last pick, I was forced to supp for a first pick Jinx hotshot. No problem I think, I practice with supps and I believe that playing support improves me as an ADC.

Holy fucking shit.

Ignoring the fact this guy was so bad at farming he probably caused the Irish potato famine all by himself, ignoring his dangerous positioning given that the enemy supp was Blitz what really got me was the self-righteous toxicity. He nearly got double at the start, but the enemy mid laner roamed to bot and ended up killing him. This guy launches the most vicious tirade of hate on our mid laner about not calling ss, I look at the chat, he pinged missing twice and I told him to go back and the brush where Diana was waiting was warded. Throughout the game this guy was ignoring farm, chasing down low health enemies into unwarded brush only to get jumped on by their whole team and then blamed myself and the jungle for not being there to save him. I genuinely feel that people don't 'get' what playing ADC is about, it's based on farm and managing your lack of strength at the start rather than going flat out from the first minute.

Oh and did he ward? I'm sure you already know the answer to this.

I wouldn't usually make this post and I have not named him so I am not breaking any rules, but the frankly dire standard of play combined with the rotten levels of self-righteousness, smh, kmt, fuck this BS

I feel that the hardest part about ADC is, that you actually are reliant on a semi competent support. You just cant do it alone and if your support is timid or scared and tries to use you as a shield rather than zoning (even if by presence only) you have already lost lane. I cant count the games that i have lost lane because the enemy support zoned the shit out of me and my support was too chicken to counter that kind of game play. I mean its hard for supports too. i have played more support games than adc games this season. But its actually up to the support to enable the adc until he has the necessary damage to step out of his diapers and start carrying.

I totally agree that the adc has the responsibility to farm, but that can not be done with a scared support.
