ADC/Bot can be really depressing if your team has no front line

Where no one on your team cares about your well-being and use their abilities for themselves :P

Especially when you're playing a low mobility ADC. That 1/11/3 game was me giving up on playing safe and trying to use my front line. I was so tired of sitting back and doing nothing.

Play draft. And not AP Varus.

This just implies that your team did not need an ADC. Bring something else botlane and work with your team. The presence of ADC is NOT mandatory to the game, and if the rest of the team does not need one, you should consider picking otherwise. Mages and Bruisers, especially those that are strong early game, tend to stomp regular ADC lanes.

Hah hah I'd say that I know the adc not mandatory thing better than anyone else. I only play Veigar bot and bring it out when I get teams of master yis/yasuos/tryndameres, etc.

The thing is, it's actually depressing trying to play an ADC bot when you have teams that don't peel. Really boring, frustrating and depressing.

Also it's sometimes hard to know when you can and cannot play an adc bot, like say you're first pick or something and no one does the pick intent.

why would you play a low mobility marksmen when you know you don't have a front line?

I don't play a low mobility marksmen when I know I don't have a front line?

Maybe stop one tricking and you wouldn't be an immobile adc with no front line.

I don't one trick?

Then why would you play an immobile adc with no front line?

I didn't know that I the team would have no front line? I also don't feel like playing mobile champions all the time.

Play what the team needs and you will have nicer team mates.

I can't expect a Master Yi/Yasuo/Tryndamere/etc to peel for me. Regardless of how "nice" they are.

You wouldn't need it if you picked for the team. If you are first pick, I suggest highly mobile adc. Ezreal and caitlyn are my go to safe picks.

You do understand that champions like Varus, Ashe, Sivir or Kalista is picking for your team? They have utility that helps your team succeed.

I don't want to play safe picks whenever I am first pick. Also the main point of my post is that it is depressing to play with teammates that don't/can't protect you. It's not about winning.

You do not understand. Pay attention in champion select. Don't go into champion select insisting to play a certain champion. Unless, you are playing blind pick.

It was a suggestion.

Why the hell would anyone protect someone that does't even care about winning?

I don't understand what exactly? I do pay attention in champion select.

Bad suggestion. Playing other champions that I might not enjoy will not make the game less depressing...

I never said that I did not care about winning. I am saying that winning is not the main point of this thread. This thread is about how it is depressing to play with teammates that do not protect you. This is player behavior not gameplay. Depressive behavior in reaction to having no protection is what I am discussing.

I was going to get all in depth, but it is pretty simple.

You need your team mates. So make them happy and you will have better games.

Let me quote myself:

I can't expect these champions to peel for me regardless of how "nice" I am to them as well.

If you were nice to them, maybe they would play something else that could peel.

If you were nice to them, maybe you would be playing something else that doesn't require much peel.

If you were nice to them, your game is going to be more pleasant regardless.

If I'm nice to someone and considerate for them I don't ask them to change what they want to play for my own needs...

I can easily turn this against you. "If you were nice to them, maybe you would play a carry that isn't so selfish and helps the team"... see how this argument is literally nothing? Also all marksmen require peel to some extent. I merely emphasized the greater amount of peel required for low mobility marksmen in OP.

If you were nice to them, your game is going to be more pleasant regardless.

That's an assumption. You can be happy go merry to a lot of people but killing with kindness does not work 100% of the time.

You can consider what they want to play and then look for synergy. That requires you to be open minded.

I merely suggested choosing a high mobility champion when that peel is not there. For instance, first pick when you have literally zero idea what the team composition will end up being.

Do you like nice people? Do you like mean people?

By liking yourself, you will have more pleasant games than by hating yourself.

Pretty sure I already said this before but picking utility based marksmen like Varus, Sivir, Ashe is picking for your team. Synergy is another word for this. I am open minded, I was playing AP Varus.

I merely suggested choosing a high mobility champion when that peel is not there. For instance, first pick when you have literally zero idea what the team composition will end up being.

I already told you why I would not play those high mobility champions. Reason being is because I wanted to play Varus.

Irrelevant.

That is not what "picking for your team" means. "Picking for your team" requires looking at what champions your team is playing. ONLY THEN, do you attempt synergy.

Examples: jungler picks amumu, so you pick miss fortune. Your team has no tanks, so you pick very safe.

This is where the open mindedness comes in. Willingness to change your pick according to the teams needs or wants. You are doing the exact opposite.

You are very relevant. I want you to enjoy life.

Rofl... if only everyone had that mindset the game wouldn't be so toxic. People want to always play hard carry/damage champions. Like Yasuo, Yi, Kayn, Zed, Evelyn. Nobody wants to play a tank or non damage champion. They want to be greedy and the "anime hero" of the game. Especially at low elo. I notice more games where people go for kills and not objectives. I love playing Leona but normally avoid playing her in solo queue because i'm normally left as a solo front line against 2-3 tanks. And i get chain cc'd and my team gets wiped.

Or it could be because you went ap and your farm is bad

KoKoboto1 votes

I get similar levels of farm in all my marksmen games so that is not an issue.
