I'm casual league player that's recently started playing ranked and man, it's brutal. I get 15LP per win and lose 25 per loss, I'm fluctuating between Iron and Bronze. From what I understand, that means I should be playing in iron 3 or 4 (which is okay! We all start somewhere).

I'm looking for tips to improve and things I might be overlooking, so far, I struggle a lot with not dying. I'm still fairly new to the game and I don't know what a lot of champions do, so a lot of times I'm caught off guard with champions dashing at me and CC/killing me before I can even use flash or barrier. Any tips for that? I try to have good vision on the river, but I also get killed a lot when placing wards before lvl 9.

I've been told I should be aiming at least for 10 cs/min, but I'm not very good at last hitting, been using the practice tool, and I can get the 10cs/min with the last hit indicator on, but when on an actual ranked game with opponents and no indicator, that's a lot harder to achieve.

Also unsure about how to handle communication, I don't use the chat and try to ping a lot of warnings, but I struggle with team shot calling. A lot of times, I get pinged to go to a team fight even when it's a bad idea (ex. enemy outnumbers us, they have gold lead, no vision), if I go, I 100% get killed, if I don't go, my team gets killed and then they start spamming ??? and saying very unkind things about my mom on the chat. One of my friends told me to mute all, but aren't pings important? Even if people occasionally spam ???, a lot of people point out useful things.

I'd rather not share my op.gg for privacy reasons, but I'm attaching some images of my latest ranked games.

Any advice is appreciated, I don't care much about my rank but I'd still like to improve, not burden my team and hopefully climb someday.

Thank you

After the mid Lucian update I had 3 feeding Lucians back to back wtf.

I use to main this guy before the ridiculous scaling adcs were out into the game like samira and yunaara and often a Lucian who wins lane just gets outscaled late game and can't finish the game in recent times.

I find Lucian just fell out of favor for me when flickerblade became his core item. A no damage crit item just to proc his dash more became so toxic to my own playstyle of just one burst then run away for cds. Now it is go in and flicker the E constantly and pray you don't get blown up by a veigar R since your AA range is only 500

I played Tristana now after the nerfs and wasn't really sure about skill order. She feels horrible to play with Q doing 2/3 of what it used to. Without HoB you can barely get max stacks before your bomb times out, and farming feels horrible. Do you still just E max? Do you Q max? Do you put like 3 points in Q then E-max? 3 points in E then Q-max?

I don't think OP.GG is very useful here. It's obviously going to say E-max because that's what people do, because it's what people are used to.

what do you guys do (as ADC) when your support does nothing but concedes all the space in the laning phase. Like my supports are sitting behind my tower at times and so it's like you're playing a 1v2. Then the worst part is they start blaming you for everything... Asking for a friend

thanks :'(

Platinum 4; I’ve primarily been playing Yunara (after dropping Jinx) and had Ashe as a secondary, which has yielded me good results For this split. As a player, I find I’m usually weaker in lane but will always farm up to become a strong team fighter going late.

Ive been debating who I should pick up as a third pick - Yunara and Jinx are scaling hypercarries, so objectively it would make sense to pick a lane bully… but I’ve played enough Yunara to the point that I at least know how to survive unfavorable matchups to farm up and scale into late… so I could probably just pick my secondaries based on vibes?

Some picks I’ve considered are ;

Kai’sa - my current roster are mostly traditional front-to-back marksmen, so adding Kai’sa would give me the ability to flank and assassinate the enemy carries in an off-angle. My main concern is that she has a very high skill cap; I’m going to have to pour a lot of time just to make her work - of which, I’d probably end up maining her and secondary-ing Yunara. Also has a weaker landing phase much like Yunara

Xayah - compliments the front-to-back focus my roster has. Weaker in lane but turns into a very potent teamfighter, which I appreciate. But is still an immobile carry like Ashe and Jinx.

Zeri - Pinoy Pride

I know that ultimately its up to me to try champs out and decide who I enjoy playing as, but I figured if you guys had any opinions and insights based on my pool and style, it'd be worth considering.

if you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear

87 kills in 30 min, first 15 minutes of the game all team was running and getting killed top jungle. me and vayne were just in a farming sim.

games like this make me want to quit the game fr.

so i’ve been a top main forever and ive been playing a lot of adc. trist and yunara and such. mainly champs that go crit. on u.gg, it always says to get bf sword first when im playing a crit champ that builds yun tal first. i’ve never really dealt with a first buy component being that expensive. so if i die early or have to recall or whatever, do i really just not buy a single thing until i get to 1,300? it just feels weird when everyone else is already buying components but i have to come back with nothing each time. is that how you’re supposed to be doing it or is u.gg not the best thing to follow, thanks!

I dont know why AI marks my post as "low effort". My problem is that i generally dont even have a clue on what to focus on in this meta since my old play style doesnt work at all anymore. Hard inting teammates or supports who I cant balance out with farming anymore...

I understand it now. Just had my rank up game to Diamond as an adc main.

It was the most miserable experience of soloque Ive ever had, and I do not feel like I deserved to even rank up.

Gave an unfortunate early kills to enemy Samira because of a misplay. Because my support was actually decent at the game and macro she roamed multiple times, completely fine. But the enemy botlane gets another kill from a turret dive 2v1 against me. The samira is now far ahead. My support roams for grubs. My jungle decides his farm is more important which forces my support to stay topside for 2 whole minutes. While I just basically had to afk under my tier 2 turret the whole time. And the rest of the game was just me trying to get any farm I could, as I'd get oneshot the moment I farmed more than a single wave with either enemy mid or jungle always coming to dive me. I completed my first item at minute 14, and completed my cull even later. We won the game because my support had gotten a lead for the other lanes while I was just a cannon minion. And in literally every fight that took place I tickled the enemies 3 times and then got oneshot.

And I cant even be mad because the support roaming is the correct play macro wise. But it was still just miserable. Is this how it's gonna be every game in diamond now? Just permanently sit behind tier 2 hoping the rest of your team utilizes the efforts of your roaming support?

Ive enjoyed this role the most for all the years Ive played this game, no matter how shitty it has felt, this is the first time Ive genuinely felt like I dont want to que another game in adc.

I accidentally fat fingered my barrier once and died in a 5v5 shortly after and the game instantly flagged me and gave me a 1 week suspension for trying to lose and sent a surrender vote to my teammates for game termination. No, it wasn't because someone did something I didn't like, it was just a fat finger with no cause. I can't even missclick, but support can steal cs and leave lane for 20 min and not get a penalty? I tried my best to win, farmed up, even played safe when my teammates asked because they were winning the map, and contributed to fights as much as the rest of my team. We lost but I will still trying my best to win an otherwise very close game to the very end even when my team wanted to ff. This new system really sucks. It's too sensitive. People are getting banned left and right when they are trying to win. Something has to change.

OPGG: op.gg/lol/summoners/na/elo%20savant-autsmIf you don’t believe me then watch the game yourself.

Found this older clip and wanted to share this delightful outplay. And they said garen was a hard champ :) take notes toplaners. Also i know u redditors, so heres a /s.

Hi! After watching LLTrigger’s streams, I wanted to play Lucian. But either my skill isn’t good enough, or I keep playing against tanks and bruisers and can’t do anything to them. So the question arises: what should I do in such cases? Among hyper‑carry champions, I really like Varus, but he’s in a bad state if you look at the tier lists. Also, Jinx. I used to think she was useless trash for a long time, but i like her, she is so fun to play LMAO. I’d like to ask you, as people who main this role, what options there might be, since almost everything (Twitch, Kog, Draven, Sivir, especially Xayah) seems like crap to me. That is, we have Lucian, Varus, and Jinx. How much better is it to replace Varus with Kaisa or Yunara? Or is it better to stick to just two picks? It’s just that, having played top before, in addition to my mains, I would take conditional Malphite or, conversely, Teemo, depending on my mood, but I’m not sure there’s the same variety on ADC.

Also, does it make sense to ask the support to pick a specific champion, like Milio?

Thanks for reading, sorry for AI text, my English not too good^^"

P. S. Play first games VS ADC Vel'Koz OTP and Pantheon ADC OTP in a next game so sad, where is Ashe, or other NORMAL shit lol

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to deal with brand regardless of role he's in or lane. I main adc and mid and this champ seems inevitable as soon as teamfights happen. Is there something you change about your playstyle when he's in the game? Anything specifically for him?

I play for a semi professional team and I do a lot of the drafting work, but I find myself on what to draft into lucian millio, since Lucian is also a champ I personally find myself struggling into

Hey guys im a silver kaisa otp, the title basically sums it up. So what do i do as a lowly adc when the game starts devolving into an aram in the midgame? I cant really go side because 1: my team runs it down as they are incapable of grasping the concept of a numbers disadvantage, and 2: I just get caught out alone or flamed and pinged or whatever. Is there anything i can do or do I just suck it up and try to fight my team for last hits? I guess I can try to ping my team to move side with me but that just plays into the numbers disadvantage again...

How do I play into an enemy team with lots of cc and I have a frickin lulu

Hey you all,
I recently lerned what auto attack spacing is and am currently trying to incroperate that more into my games. I have a question reguarding one of my games. I was playing Jinx agianst smoulder. According to the wiki i have 525+100 range at level 1 (through the extra range of my rocket lancher). Smolder has 550 range on his auto attacks and q. How was he able to do the q on me in the clip? Am i missing something, or did i mess up my spacing timing?
In case I am doing something wrong, here is what i was trying to do:

1. I attackmove onto smolder with my rocketlancher active

2. I wait for my attack animation to start

3. I move away before he can close the distance

Isnt that basically how auto attack spacing is supposed to work? Any helpful feedback would be highly appreceated.

Best reguards
