So what exactly is an adc supposed to do against Zed now, other than get poo poo on? He can 1v1 my adc through Janna shield and then disappear a screen away and there's nothing he or I can do about it because QSS got gutted.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Mid is the most common role so you're almost always gonna get bot unless you pick mid/jungle or mid/top. Most ADCs are really weak right now in general because Riot nerfed them all and instead of just buffing their counters so there's more counter-play. So right now if you're an ADC main that isn't a godlike Ezreal or Lucian or Kalista you're probably just getting blown up immediately because of how strong mages are rn.

the two bot lane roles are the easiest roles to queue for in the entire game. It's very rare I don't get ADC if i queue for it

I want to live in the magic elo where there's good supports and bad ADCs

rabidsquid posted:

If you have bad teammates I have some bad news for you :kiddo:

Compared to my own skill, when I've played support in ranked there have been some loving horrid ADCs that must never play it, some that were on par with me, and 0 that I would say were better because they all hosed up majorly in some way or another (including me, my fall down is early farm). Occasionally you'd see an adc main on Vayne or something but they are an ADC main in Silver/Gold elo, 100% they go for 1vX outplays and die. I'd consider myself on par with them because #1 I don't do that #2 They are getting matched with me #3 if they were as good as they think they wouldn't be here.

I kinda pride myself on my ability to not die as an adc but I know I play too safe, which is why I like Jhin. I got a 3v5 penta on him by standing way back behind my 2 team mates and ulting, then cleaning up with 4th shot crits and q bounces.

I suck at top and mid so I never play those, and I'll never have too because it's top and mid that I won't play. But people who get put into their off roles are going to be very bad at them compared to the skill level of their elo, so yes, bad team mates exist without the smug poo poo.

Just do what I do and play ER Ashe. poo poo Volleys, Hawkshots, and global stun ults everywhere. Doesn't really matter if you're behind since that's all extremely useful stuff to do anyway and helps make comebacks happen.

I get whatever role I put second far more often they I get the one I put first regardless of what two roles I pick.

To the point I got mid going support/mid one time. I think it might be deliberately weighted backwards.

Targon is one of those boring fucks who always makes his characters in RPGs a pasty white dude who looks exactly like him but handsomer and in better shape and whines about how it ruins his immersion if the main character of a game isn't a straight white male. So when Taric became an aspect Targon retconed him into a straight white guy.

this is actually about the opposite of what happened. zed got buffed but hes banned every game and with mages being in every game and mr itemization nerfs it was a net buff for sustained ad damage. tanks cant build two damage/armor items straight up every game without at least the potential to be punished.

I think riot mentioned at some point that they reweighted it so people could get their second choice a bit more often. Over the past couple weeks I've gotten mid/top multiple times while queuing as support/fill so I don't even know (but I was incredibly lucky and someone dodged most of the time that I got shoved into top lane)

when i queue top/mid i would say i get it something like 70/30 top/mid over 10 games. usually 7 top games followed by 3 mid games which makes me thing they did something interesting to enforce some kind of ratio but it could also be a huge coincidence.

I've been queuing mid/jungle in ranked for awhile and my current % is roughly 68/32, which seems fine to me.

e: I haven't played ranked in 6.9 though, so it may have changed.

FUCK THIS SHIT
If anyone gets sent toplane and they don't want to play it just lock in Maokai or Malphite and farm while waiting for teamfights or tp gank opportunities to happen. They are never bad picks and the only annoying matchups are into ranged bullies. Bonus is if you face a Riven main you can easily just poo poo on them by existing, which is pretty good by itself.

One thing I've noticed is the selection seems to be fixed once it's made. If you get your secondary role but someone dodges, you'll get your secondary role again. This seems to be true as long as you stay in queue, no matter how many times there's a dodge, and even for contested roles like mid.
