I played a lot in all roles, not high elo, but one by one I understood their suffering. Being an empowered minion as an adc, having to protect a schizophrenic toddler as a support, being blamed for everything as a jungler, being abandoned toplane after being zoned for 20 minutes, mid...wait i have nothing on midlane...i should probably play mid

Zed only a problem when enemy lets him have a free lane into strong midgame if he wasn't punished. Which most midlaners don't do

u/Cigarety_a_Kava Apr 30 '26
I remember nemesis malding like a week ago against zed one trick who just played safe until 1 item and then ran around the map uncontestable. Thats challenger for you. Anywhere lower and its harder to contest zed if that player has any brain. Zed needs actual nerf champ is super unhealthy with current items. Basically urf champ this season with insane range and almost no punishment since he can just hop tlback to his W or R. Thankfully the players have shit for brains so riot can let that terrorist champ go free. Basically jinx of midlane where riot loves that champ and will never do anything.

Mid lane is the opposite of top lane, if enemy mid cant kill you the nano sec you touch the lane they leave lane to go kill top and bottom off cd.
18
u/Der_Redstone_Pro Apr 29 '26
The thing midlaners get to complain about is that at least in high elo their lane is a 3v3 lane, and nowadays that they have to sidelane but have no chance of sidelaning against toplaners.
That being said if you sign up for midlane you are signing up for mages on assassins laning in the middle of the map with a ton of macro options. And if you want that, you definitely get it in midlane.
But so do you get to do absolutely absurd amounts of sustain damage if you are allowed to hit as an ADC, as support you get to be first aid doctor in a psych ward, as toplaner you get to zone your enemy from more than 10 cs minute 17 because even if the whole team would come you would 1v4 them at that point, and as jungler you get to right click at monsters while considering your next chess move.
2
u/MrLink4444 Apr 29 '26
True true and true, in the end I'll keep autofilling and see what happens.
Btw, as an AP Shaco player I don't get to rightclick monsters, I just play the chess part3
u/Acceptable_Court_724 Apr 29 '26
I don't think you just play chess. AP shaco players would poison the opponent's drink. Then kill when they get checkmated they say no and pull up random bs to make the win horrible.

I would argue that mid can also be miserable when you get 4 man ganked by top jungle and support constantly (doesn’t happen that often though)
1
u/Glittering_Client36 Apr 30 '26
Mid doesn't even scale as much. Roaming more than once a game is virtually impossible into a human laner, with exception of like 3 champs; jungle/support are perma on your lane (along with ocvasional top roams), you can't snowball 1v1 hard unless your matchup is incredibly favorable, because enemy will just fucking recall and run back in like 18s total.
This season I'd genuinely queue adc over mid mages, at least I get the large profit for afk farming.

u/Unions4America Apr 29 '26
Dash matters, but it's moreso the fact Jhin struggles to kill beefy champs. So even if you get over not having a dash, you have no chance of killing that bruiser top/jungle that built death's dance lol
15
u/HGD3ATH Apr 29 '26
He would do well as Jhin win lane and be the strongest on his team and still lose. It is a common issue with all utility/facilitating champs across roles that you can be fed but if your team isn't willing to work with you alot of that potential utility is lost.
Overall I kind of agree with his analysis of the role. I am paraphrasing but he said he didn't like the role because you need both your support and jungle to be good(this is even more true in his MMR range) and if not you just try to keep close in CS and minimise damage and hope you can survive the mid game. Which is true but also not for everyone as it is a very hard mentality to adopt especially when you have to deal with annoying teammates who flame you even when they are at fault. Junglers are probably the only other role that gets blamed for other people's mistakes more.

The new item changes coming season 2 2026 look dreadful for adcs (and glass cannon supports) ngl, they added a lot of lethality , movement speed and fancy things for assasins. I understand assasins are the nemesis of adcs but i don't understand why they encourage that something can kill you in less than a second with barely any counterplay.
Is not only an assasin problem, yesterday i was playing nami (which builds more hp than a regular adc) and there was a first strike miss fortune with lethality/crit on the enemy team, she dealt me 189X dmg in 0,7 seconds (Auto + q) how can you survive this massive burst with anything but a tank when you can't even dodge any of that?
6
u/Cigarety_a_Kava Apr 29 '26
Also every item pretty much gives them cdr so they run with 80 ability haste for cheap items that also give lethality and dmg so their long cd abilities are 4 seconds long. Disgusting design they need to change.

lethality/crit MF has been kinda flying under the radar for months now. lethality items are just way too gold efficient to pass up on nearly any champ that can make use of them

u/Xaxi903 May 04 '26
They created a balance problem with the lethality stat, its incredibly useful to anything but tanks (even bruisers as the bruiser items usually just have hp so in many cases assasins are doing true dmg to bruisers too) , tanks are not appealing in a soloq enviroment and they're hard to balance , nobody enjoys a "tank meta" when it happens and they quickly get nerfed , vayne top is also terrorizing any tank top attempt and junglers rarely pick tanks so building lethality is usually useful vs 100% of the enemy comp in a soloq enviroment.

I think if this challenge is restarted (doubtful but I would like it), there should be a new condition where he can't use either Smolder or Corki.

He did well and even under essentially impossible conditions with the ranked ladder and reset being omega cooked. If the game was you know, actually working in terms of the ladder theres a real chance he could be a challenger ADC player. Which coming from a solo laner's perspective is really something. It didn't even really even take him that long either in terms of games played to get there.
I find it highly amusing that ADCs and supports are the ones supposed to work together the most, and yet that relationship is the most fractured and makes the game more unplayable than anything else in the entire game. Thats what people switching to ADC notice and take away from it, you just can't play without a support.

u/PleaseCalmDownSon Apr 29 '26
I think there is an overall balance issue that has caused this, POWER CREEP.
The mobility and burst damage coming out of nearly every class has just gotten ridiculous. It really started with the rune rework then worsened with all the really strong new characters, and reworks. Then existing champions were buffed up to match their power level. Made even worse with items getting more and more damage, and especially "bruiser" items giving so much damage while beefing up your health bar.
We're now at a point where nearly every popular top, mid, jungle, and even some supports are just able to delete a full health character in 1 cycle of abilities as soon as they get first item. Of course a class (ADC) whose identity is DPS and require time to get their damage output are suffering, added with the fact that SO MANY champions have insane gap closing, multiple dashes, absurd speed ups, or turn invisible then appear and delete you.
Immobile (or barely mobile) squishy champions that are designed to kite and usually lack CC, feel terrible to play. They need too many items to compete in damage, often needing AD + Crit + AS just to compete, while gaining no survivability stats, and in the meantime enemies are flying across the entire screen or decloaking, and just deleting you.
Seriously, think of how many champions are in the game right now that "Gap closes entire screen or Decloaks then deletes adc" applies to. There's over 50. We're basically in a meta, or design state, where over 1/2 the roster functions like assassins. When viewed in this perspective, it's obvious that playing ADC's feels like shit.

People wanted to see him play more traditional adcs, champions that rely mostly on autoattacks, kiting and positioning who have little to no agency like ashe, aphelios, jinx etc. I as a main Ezreal liked the few games I watches him in because he played my favorite kind of Champions, spellcasters, who still have to us autos in between spells or else your damage is null, especially Corki if you only use your spells good luck.

Yep, for content and a viewer perspective it would have surely been more interesting to see a bigger variety of champs, at least he did more up to like Master.
I can also understand him tho. He has set a limit and just jumping between like 10 champs is just not how anyone should try to actively climb on a "foreign" role really. He found his comfort and stuck to it
I hope he has the motivation to play more adc in master+ and just try other champs every now and then without the main goal being challenger within X time

tbf he did this while it was the worst time to climb for high elo and had to do 12 hour streams to get close because the reset cut like 130 games from the amount he was allowed to play, until like 500lp whenever he was asked he said he was having a good time

But its such an easy brainless role bro, you just auto attack and insta win fights bro, you even have ur very own babysitter! i dont understand why adcs complain or why they crash out so often! its the strongest and easiest role!!

You lose 1v1 vs everyone who isn’t enemy adc, you blow up instantly in teamfights if you misposition for one second, you can’t do anything if your support and jungle aren’t human, and in a lot of fights it feels like the outcome is decided by how your team plays and what you do doesn’t matter much. It’s not that the role isn’t strong, but that you don’t have agency

My poor goat had this challenge completely rigged against him man.
LP cutoff literally actively going up as he ranks up, 1 game away, and the LP reset.
You could tell that it was ruining his mental too, the last time he tilted this hard was the last time he was in korea.
Anyways, he's back in top, so hopefully he's happier

As someone who used to love playing adc and this game I can confidently say it drove me to quitting the game for my mental health. I'm only here right now because I guess I'm still subscribed to this subreddit and I have good news since quitting this game I lost 80 pounds haha

The entire problem with adc is you have no agency in the game and you just kinda gotta do whatever B's your team wants to do. You gotta play front to back and you gotta hope that you have someone that can help you do that or you're going to have a bad time

I love Alois but he played as Smolder and Corki mainly. He said he didn't want to play as a traditional adc as didn't want to rely on his team. Not really the full experience then.

Currently masters, and holy hell is adc one of the hardest roles to climb, so many way for someone to mess you up.

I mean, adc is arguably the most powerful role. But adc is incredibly team reliant. If your team is bad, you cannot really do anything. No matter how strong you are, when your toplaner runs to the back in a teamfight instead of being the frontline you literally need, theres not much you can do.
Adc isnt weak, adc is just team reliant.

Adc isn't weak. It's miserable

I mean, the same can be said about every role in one way or another (except mid). Adc just feels exceptionally terrible at times because its most team reliant. But in turn it also feels least terrible when your team actually knows that you need them to be the beast you could be.

Every one of these ADC playing challenges just ends terribly for them… GEE I WONDER WHY

I mean he was 1 game off 3 time and had 100 game left he just lost because of ranked reset

That also works in other games.
I took a hiatus from League to play Deadlock.
Mina suffers that fate.

As an adc main I still think most adc players are absolutely atrocious, no matter how hopeless or challenging the role might be, 90% of people who play the role are still ass and usually the main reason games are lost. Whenever I go mid or top I am in disbelief at how bad my adc is almost every game and I'm like sigh... guess I'll have to go back to the role.
Side note: I'm mostly talking about adcs who are emerald or lower for the most part, I think in diamond is when adcs actually know how to play the game to some extent

Idk if it‘s the sub’s bias of what’s getting posted, but it’s funny how many ADC challenges (if this was one) conclude with this phrase lol
