adc pro tip

There're two slight caveats to that, firstly, if it's a really really bad teamfight and your help will inevitably be either not enough or too late to win the fight then you're better off staying safe-ish and just getting some farm and not giving the extra team another kill. And secondly if it's the opposite and the fight will be over by the time you get there and those extra cs will either speed up your post fight tower pushing or get you more gold than the assists you'd get from the teamfight. But those are pretty extreme scenarios and for most fights that's a good, if slightly rage-induced tip.

The worst part is the team will engage before ADC can arrive. Say there's a 20 minion wave pushing tier 2 in bot lane. Nobody is grouped yet. You clear it and then your team goes to baron and either gets caught or initiates there, despite that the enemy team hasn't even committed to attacking baron yet. By the time you hit the area near midlane tier 1, your team is dead or running.

There is nothing you can do. This is not ADC's fault.

But if the ADC is hanging around after that minion wave is cleared to shove more when the team is posturing for an engage, that's a bit more of a grey area. The team still shouldn't go in outnumbered, but you shouldn't give away an uncontested baron either.

Tank/initiator pro tip: Keep the enemy off your adc/apc and maybe we'd be able to join in fights.
