ADC's, stop doing what you're doing.

msk51··4 votes·1,206 views

First off, I want to say I am an ADC myself. I am not some salty support who got stuck with a bad ADC or a salty mid laner who just got destroyed by an ADC. But as an ADC, I know first hand that many of you guys are arrogant, annoying, flaming, heartless trolls who afk at the drop of a hat, blame their supports for everything, and just generally ruin anything good and fun from the game. Stop it.

Yes, there are idiot supports out there but in my experience, they mean well. Instead of flaming at them, tell them what they can improve on. And also, I know that I've played with many more flaming/annoying ADC's then I have supps. If a supp takes a creep, that is not a reason to report. If a supp takes a kill, that is not a reason to AFK. If a supp accidentally dies twice to the enemy team, that is not a reason to start feeding intentionally. If your supp doesn't play the way you want them to, that is not a reason to start roaming mid and top, stealing kills and minions. (These are all actual stories I've seen)

That being said, please guys... don't leave your ADC to die alone. I know we all want to carry and be the superhero but your ADC relies on you to peel, please don't leave him like the friend no one invited. And if you do, for God sakes I beg of you not to blame the ADC for dying first in a team fight.

In short, ADC's, stop complaining, flaming, being annoying and heartless. Team's, give your ADC a break and at least keep an eye on him in a team fight?

As a player who has played this game, toxicity is not specific to a certain role but the players themselves.

msk511 votes

True, but it just seems like ADC's are more often than not toxic...

I am a support main and I can attest to this. From the support side this is what I see: I do My best to help you get fed, but adcs fight me at every observation because They apparently know how they should play AND how I should play. I set easy last hits for them and yet many times I have seen that the moment I set up a last hit, Adcs will run away with full health and mana, wander off to farm instead of finishing off an enemy adc that could be taken out with a sneeze. By the time I have finally gotten thier attention, the enemy support shows up, I get double teamed while adc is farming. Adc Will then flame me for "OMG THIS FEEDING SUPPORT"

Or If I DO manage to get them fed, alot of them turn around and completely discount ANY contribution I made. They will brag to the enemy about how many kills they got, and then in the same breath talk about how they have "such a useless adc"...ADC got fed, BUT WHO THE HELL SET UP THOSE KILLS! WHo kept you alive? who healed you? who got the enemy off thier back. Apparently it wasnt the useless support.

More recently I have noticed that any observation support makes is completely ignored. played against a whole team of close-range MELEE champs and I suggested building sunfire cape (to force them to keep thier distance and dissuade any lingering). My observations/suggestions went completely ignored. But as soon as the enemy got the upper hand and It looked like the enemy was going to win, the team protects themselves...by sacrificing the support. "We would have won but this noob support"

Now AS a support main, I am sure I will once again get ignored, my thoughts rendered moot and invalid because "im just the support" I am not actually part of the team! I am not part of the damage dealers.. Just there if the team needs someone to throw under the bus.

Lol, supp lives matter!! That is what I hate about some players. Supps die for their team, ward for their team, set up kills for their team, (sometimes) initiate team fights for their team, disengage a potential team fight for their team and the list goes on. Yet they take all the blame!! I personally hate being a supp but I value their ability and what they bring to the table. I wish others could see it like that....

Lol, not me. But the other ADC was flaming at his supp who only died trying to save him from his stupid plays. That got me really mad because in my opinion, a supp is better than any item an ADC can buy an crapping on them is like biting the hand that feeds you.

Mimy2 votes

I'm a support and ADC

and as well as a teemo main. heuehueheuehue. ENOUGH WITH THAT!!!

Anyways, neither role is better than the other. They're both crucial to work together well in order to pull it off.

When a Support and ADC have conflicting playstyles Example one is passive and one is aggressive, things can get a little haywire. Mistakes can be made, flame ensured.

I played with a high elo and he had to drop a bit of his skill to my level because if he went full on diamond player on me I wouldn't be able to keep up with him. but when he slowed it a bit we were able to work together well enough to win bot lane 80% of the time.

He kept calling me a squid because I would freak out every time he dove tower. He would get out with a sliver of HP left as I sit there saying "HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!"

msk511 votes

LOL!! The tower dives man... xD And I agree. Both are crucial to the success of bot lane/the team, but I guess I just put more value on supps because they go un-noticed a lot of times... But I definitely see your point.

What I don't understand is why Teemo?!?!?!?!?! xD

Mimy1 votes

Because it's teemo....

and when you play teemo support and later one shot their enemy kogmaw...

You know why...

msk511 votes

TEEMO SUPP?!?!?! XD Now I understand why ADC's are the way they are. :P

Mimy1 votes

It works with the right comp against certain ADCs. like I said.. Kogmaw..

msk511 votes

Lol, but... It's teemo... :P jk jk. He's cool as long as people buy enough oracle alterations

As a support main, THANK YOU!

msk511 votes

Lol, no problem! I apologize for every knuckle head ADC out there. :) I would say hopefully we can play some time, but your much more advanced than me so you probably wouldn't want that. xD

msk511 votes

Lol, wards man... At my level, the debate over supp's buying sightstone is un-real. xD

^ Just imagine him with wards in hand,

A.k.a. I want to support you.

msk511 votes

Lol, I don't know... money is a little more impressive. :P I'd love to play with you, just don't expect anything amazing. xD Sorry, I'm pretty new. I haven't even ranked yet.

I've played as adc and support, mailing both at one point. And holy God there are idiot supports and idiot carries. As an example: one time, while playing Leona(my best support) I had a draven adc, this draven NEVER used his axes. I talked to him about their uses(I also play draven) and his response was that it was hard to use them. My mid laner also tried to help him learn how to use them, he got pissed off, and afk'd. Another time, I was doing poorly as adc, my sona asked if she should go adc, which I interpreted as "buy lichbane and other ap items", so I said yes, next time I see her she has a bf sword and a zeal, and starts taking my minions. I was draven. >_>

However, i always try to help teach people to do better before i ever think of yelling at them.

Moral: help others learn if they're confused, and look for the good in your lane partner.

Unless you have a varus "support" who takes smite and tells you he's gonna take minions. F*** that guy T-T

msk511 votes

LOL!! Dat sona tho... xD I apologize man. And I agree. I always try to help someone learn, and not to brag, but I have yet to yell at anyone in league. If I get really mad I usually just mute.

The sona even pinged me away from cs :') Edit:I was twitch, not draven.

msk511 votes

Lol, the ping. xD Oh gosh I hate twitch... How the heck do you counter his q????

i was playing this game and we had a draven adc (i was jg lee sin btw). anyways, i was at grump (on the bottom half of the map so i wasn't near botside) and the draven pinged for assistance. no less than 2 seconds later i heard "an ally has been slain" and Draven typed in chat "LEE WTF." naturally, i explained that i was too far away to get botside in 2 seconds and that if he wants a gank he'll have to let the enemies push, but all i got in reply was "/ALL GG REPORT LEE SIN NO GANk." like draven that the fUck. long story short, adc's are entitled, arrogant brats. i have yet to play a game of lee sin jungle where at least one person didn't act like this draven. i kinda went on a rant, but long story short i agree.

msk511 votes

Dude, I feel like dravens are the worst... xD But I apologize man, that sucks. I like the way you put it, many ADC's feel entitled to things. (Kills, ganks, red buffs, etc.) Not a good mindset for a team game.

Draven mains are the worst. We deserve every kill, we deserve to win Lane because we can carry harder than you junglers can, and we're also more handsome than you are. Give me all the kills, im more useful- Draven motto

msk511 votes

Lol, right? I'd rather face a teemo main instead of a draven main.

As a support main, I can feel you. While there are awesome ADCs out there who appreciate their supports, to be honest the majority of them are either assholes or just plain bad ADCs. While mainly playing support, I am "old school" and can play all roles well. When I'm playing ADC, I can win with a bad support as long as they don't feed. Just work around them.

As for team play, if you aren't in a pre-made, you probably aren't going to get peel. That is why ADCs with their own peel or high mobility are better picks if you are solo.

msk511 votes

Yeah, it's hard to get good peel in solo... I think everyone tries to be the carry which in the end backfires on the team. I hate AD garens...

Telephone Booth1 votes

Ya I feel ya man... I play both adc and support quite frequently and they both can get pretty pissy at eachother. More often it is the adc imo, but supports can be asses too. I swear some people just want to argue and fight with other people on their team cuz more often than not, it's a petty, almost inconsequential mistake that sets them off. It's disgusting how people act online.

msk511 votes

Seriously. If I had a nickle for every game I saw where the ADC blamed his supp and/or jungle, I'd be rich.

Telephone Booth1 votes

Ya even at level 16 I played a game and ganked bottom as zac at level 5 (not even an ideal time, but they were pushed up) and got a kill... literally 2 minutes later the adc goes GANK BOTTOM PLZ and I said "I was just there!! Lol" so then top says I need a gank... I'm already on red side clearing the jg and then back with my 1.5k. Adc says again, GOD I WISH WE COULD GET A GANK. So I head towards bottom and run into their jg and mid, get a kill, take dragon, I'm low, so I back again. Now adc is pissed cuz 3 opponents roam to bot while Ali and I are backing cuz we just got into a fight and took dragon and adc continues to cs, of course dies and then blames the "autistic jg". Lol like wtf. 10 minutes into the game and he's died twice now and apparently it's my fault. Reminded me why I stopped playing jungle. The support was totally on my side cuz the adc was irrational and had no map awareness. This guy is obviously a smurf but damn we aren't even level 20 and he thinks he knows everything. I feel bad for new players. Sorry bout the rant.

ALSO top died again while this happened and I just apologized to him and said I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease... cuz I try to appease these ragers for the sake of winning the game and not spiraling into a chat war between teammates. But there's no appeasing know-it-all ADCs. (Not saying all ADCs are know it alls)

msk511 votes

Lol, no worries. That is a terrible game. xD Apologies man. Yeah!! I hate it when people try to appease the ADC and then all the other lanes suffer, and then the ADC blames everyone else for feeding. Wat???? It's almost like ADC's need more common with their sense.

Telephone Booth1 votes

Lol they need more common with their sense haha xD

Cpt Jack Bird1 votes

I always apologize to my supports in advance because I'm the most passive adc around. I want to farm and... like... nothing else. The only reason I ever play ADC is because farming super hard is in their job description pretty much. So I'm like "well, if I can get all the cs in the wave at tower, why would I poke?"

Most boring support lane phase ever. I like roaming supports, because under tower is my natural habitat so they can ditch me allll they like.
