Anyone else?

I was just wondering if I'm alone in this or not. I love playing adc. is my most played champion (pretty high win rate too), but I do not ever play her on the purple team. If I am on the purple team, I will try to jungle or top even though I prefer adc. I absolutely cannot stand playing in the bot lane on the purple team. I feel like I can't be the only one.

I know that way back, Riot said they were working on a camera flip or at least some camera feature that makes it easier for purple team, wondering if we could have an update?

And before anyone says it, I don't play with screen locked and I am relatively high ranked (gold IV), so not totally a noob issue.

It's not just you. I might be most skilled at ADC but I play mid just to avoid purple side bot lane. It's absolutely horrid. There's a good reason why the win rate in high Elo is at 44% for the Purple side and 56% for the Blue side... and bot lane is a big part of it.

The new Summoner's Rift moves the bushes to be a bit more equal but everything else about it is still the same horrible garbage. I still won't play bot lane.

Im with you as my two main roles are adc and support. The last news I heard is when they were first announcing the Summoner's Rift VU they said they altered the angle of the camera just a bit (I personally can't tell the difference but Ive only seen videos, haven't played). They said this would help with the general clarity of skill shots but this was not mean to solves the purple side vision issue. They have some other ideas for balancing blue/purple side that will be tested after the SR VU is out.

Hope this helps, in the meantime good luck grabbing jungle instead!

I'm best AD Carry aswell(although I have been on a losing streak as of late :/) and I do find it worse playing purple side although I don't find it great, I don't mind playing adc purple side. I think one thing Riot does do to help this issue is increasing the mmr and elo of summoners playing on purple side. This could be wrong as this is second hand information from a friend.
