How to HARD CARRY BAD Teammates as ADC - League of Legends

[@bercel8006]

ok

[@elprovi7642]

The way you explain the cause/effect relations with plays is what puts you one step above the other guide channels, keep it up, some of the best league informative content up there 🤙

[@dota2isbetter]

TL;DR Just be challenger and carry bro.

[@kaito0179]

Isn't it TL;DW in this case?

[@zephir444]

Correct, to climb you will need to improve. Shocker, right?

[@nikolaspanayiotou7023]

TL;DR Just play LIKE a [your division]+1 and carry bro

[@NuclearToxinify]

Don't forget to smurf on guys 2 divisions below you.

[@exxon101]

You were hoping the advice would be "play like you're in Gold and carry" ?

[@XxManzanitaPR]

This is great, but I'd love to see something on turning things around when you're on the losing end of bot lane as ADC

[@Solid--Snake]

sorry im late but the thing is: if you dont win lane, you cant carry

[@baodang3646]

Orn was the real carry of the game, finding engages and baiting the enemy even when behind

[@santinor.c.1365]

"baiting"

[@ThatOneCWhite]

Thank you Skillcapped. I must admit I haven't watched any videos related to your content in a very long time, but you helped me a lot when I just started climbing a few years back. This week I made it to Diamond and I like to believe that you massively contributed to that. Thank you very much.

[@XIII-TheBlackCat]

This isn't what bad teammates look like. Carrying while mid, top, jung and supp are 0/15 or no one wants to protect a single tower is what I need to see, that's a match I see every day.

[@nikolaspanayiotou7023]

You don't have to carry that game dude. If u play 10 games a day and 1 of them is like that and u lose only that one you stand on a 90% w/r. Challengers reach diamond with 70% w/r. The rule 40 30 30 is really solid. 30% of the games you will win whatever you do (hence almost literally no one has a sub 30% w/r after a set amount of games). 30% you will lose no matter what and 40% are the games are up to you. its like tennis, if u win 51% of the points in one year and one year before you won 49% there is a very huge jumping point to your career (the numbers are a bit different in the outcome since tennis is played with games and sets but I hope you get the point). If you can carry a game where top jg and mid lost their lane (not necessarily got stomped) you will climb. otherwise no one would ever climb and we would all be gold

[@King1Z7]

The problem is out of 10 games at least 6 look like that.

[@nikolaspanayiotou7023]

@@King1Z7 thats statistically improbable.... Everything around you in your game is the same thing: people from your rank. Silver vs Silver top. If they play 100 games the w/r will be very close to 50 cause there is a reason they are at the same rank. They only variable which is the exact same in everygame is the one you can change also: YOU. If you blame it on others you will not climb. The idea is: blame yourself. Blame yourself everygame. Blame the variable that can change. "A challenger player would have won this" which means if U made something better you wouldve won. If u blame someone else, nothing will change cause u won't play with him next game so why lose your energy and focus on them. Ofc on paper its easy but there are these days which of course is understandable to tilt cause u were unlucky one whole day

[@XIII-TheBlackCat]

@@nikolaspanayiotou7023 I had 2000 ranked games last season and have 1000 ranked games this season as an adc main. Been sitting Iron 1 - Bronze 3 while my teammates do everything in their power to keep me from pulling off the 1v9 every match. I have lived behind what YOU said just said for years.

[@joeblondie9663]

i love videos with Hector and do not doubt he can reach Masters+ with ADC Role, but looking at the account he played this match he has only 5 of 87 ranked games as adc out of all, i'd love to see how he climb with only adc role instead of midlane account ;)

[@Solari_Shield]

Looking at your videos i went from iron 2 up to bronce 1. I were playing this game for 1 year, but i couldn´t improve and after your videos i could climb some divisions

[@Kassadin.]

nice, if u honestly love the game and get a ton of dopamine when ranking up, thats the way to enjoy the game. But just keep in mind its not always linear and the higher u climb, the harder it is to enjoy

[@missmyf85]

@7:24 Hector deliberately doesn't flash after J4's E-Q and waits for ult. I'm thinking 'wow that's some real control. I would have panicked for sure after the E-Q and died there. This is why Hector is challenger'. @10:36 Hector screws up and flashes after J4's E-Q and has no way of escaping ult. Lol.

[@tupe2345]

Got to agree with renger at 4:32 Also, please make me a Hector watchlist, i love him

[@diegoulloagarcia7153]

Going midlane isnt an option when your whole team is there. Low elo teammates just do whatever they want. I believe the only option to escape it is playing a self sufficient champion, which by definition excludes ADCs on most situations.

[@avery1349]

When your entire team is mid, you collect whatever you can without being too far from the fight, and you look to make a play during the ensuing fight. Your team is fighting, and you are the adc, the role that carries fights. Yes, you will be down a little in gold for the play, but if you fight the play well, your team takes control and then you can utilize the time gained to farm camps/waves

[@justipeno]

Broooo I'm dying after he said hector running it down gave his team the bravery too. XDDDDD

[@hiddenblade6863]

Thats a really good timing for a really good Guide. I am playing in diamond elo and lost 3 games today due to my teams mental stability and capabilities. So thank you the video was really educational. Perhaps if i´ve seen it earlier i could have won 1 or 2 games :)

[@IanRiley915]

I just wanted to add for later viewers that they keep mentioning 5min for dragon but the examples in the video use 10min. I believe this confusion was caused by the dragon in the video being the 3rd dragon. If they waited to contest that dragon, then you would have the gold outcome listed in the video meaning that contesting the 3rd dragon could theoretically be a fight where the enemy team has 32% more gold. If they give 3rd dragon, and then contest soul, they would have to contest when the enemy team has 23.5% more gold. By prioritizing the 3rd dragon, they can give the next dragon and then contest soul, which would be 10min later. At 10min later, the enemy team would have 18.6% more gold. This is all rough, but it at least drives home the idea that there was an opportunity in the game to prioritize dragon buying the whole team 10min. That 10min is significant towards closing the difference in power between the two teams.

[@escapegrass]

I been following skillcapped for a long time now, I consistently stomp my games now. The ones I lose are the games where my team decides they don’t want to win and 4-1 Ff me or just run it down so hard I can’t 1v5. I’m an adc main so maybe that’s why I only have a 57% wr :/. Trying to carry on adc is pretty painful because sometimes even if you get super fed are insane but then they have a Vi, Nocturne, or Nautilus. Unless your name is sivir you’re fked

[@clarkkentmalabanan5626]

the best thing to control is your attitude emotions and feelings, to improve

[@AylottPeti]

Those are not bad players. My team members usually go solo one 1v5 with no reason than die. Don't follow you at all. He gets the respect of his team. Doesn't matter how fed you are a fed assassin can solo you any time in the game. Maybe you can go safety using flash ones, but what you will do if they have two assassins who only focuses in you the whole game?

[@shyguyberlin]

but what if botlane doesnt move midlane, only support rotates. You might think the lonely adc on botlane should be tower-dived, but how do you do that when you don't know where the enemy jungle is and there is still a weakside on your team, either on mid or bot (depending on the rotation). According to the scenario, a play with both junglers involved has an advantage for the enemy team, so there is only pure luck that can get your team from not falling deeper and deeper, except the teammates know how to weakside correctly.

[@browsergameshub]

One of your best guides, and I love all your guides! So many great examples in this single video.

[@crazybunny1134]

This has helped me, I mostly play MF and do things like this, but some days ago my friends got mad at me thinking i was trolling cuz I wasn't playing as I used to do so there was no synchrony and they kept picking bad fights with the thought I would follow them, even when I didn't have my ult and my engage support didn't have his in a fatal funnel

[@utikahk4538]

Child's play. Carry a team that's 0/30 at the 15-minute mark when you the only one that has anything.

[@bambuco2]

This entire video is based around the fact that a tilted mid is going to give up midlane to an ADC after lane phase.

[@scottgill2643]

It's a mid-high elo video, it's not that the midlaner gave up the lane, but moreso that he was just following his scripts and going through the motions.

[@bambuco2]

@@scottgill2643 Midlaner going to side lane and letting ADC farm is not following scripts and going through motions. It shows understanding of basic macro and more importantly, the intent of winning that game. I don't think you understand how much easier that game becomes for MF just from that simple correct macro play.

[@nikolaspanayiotou7023]

Sideline for Kassadin is a what are you talking about? They are talking about MAJORITY of games. Which is what you should aim to win. Not all. In the majority of games, summoners will choose what helps them (in this case it helps kassa to go bot) and if u are mid to high elo they will choose what helps the team win 70% of the time.

[@bambuco2]

@@nikolaspanayiotou7023 They are not talking about MAJORITY of the games. Did you even watch the video? The video is very clearly about this one specific game and how to carry it. I don't even know how you could argue otherwise.

[@scottgill2643]

@@bambuco2 If this were lower elo (Silver/Gold), you'd have a point. This isn't lower elo. The outplay crowd (Platinum/Diamond) might also be in that world, but this is Master's. This is exactly what going through the motions looks like for people at higher elos.

[@JPNox]

7:24 doesn't work, 90% of my teams would let the enemy kill me and either use their skills after I die or let the enemy just walk away for no reason (90% is an understatement)

wondering how to keep mid pushed mid-late as a midlaner if my adc wont do it but is first there anyway

[@misticolpower4458]

very nice what if your team hates lane assignment and they keep farming mid what do you do?

[@eyesofthefox]

Farm your ass off and don't die. I'd also personally buy a sweeper so the enemy can't catch you out while rotating as no one else in low elo ever buys one.

[@austinhampton7999]

Tell me why that if misfortunes team was losing, why did Jinx’s team have objective bonuses?

[@yaafl817]

hey skillcapped, i have a video idea for you: coaching a bronze player until they reach diamond, find a bronze player with the drive, and make it into a series, it'd be super cool

[@LuckyGnom]

They already did it. "Bronze to diamond challenge" playlist on this channel.

[@HannesMrg]

The high winrate after Soul is not only from the Soul. A Team that secures the Soul is mostly ahead anyway and would have had a higher Chance of winning, even without Soul.

[@powwerfoxx]

Watching this right now because my jungler and toplane last game had 3 kills and 30 deaths combined

[@protectorlord8054]

1:54 why is mf has less bounty than Vlad, while bieng more fed (kills, farm) and same deaths?

[@slcoachleague7296]

@skillcapped does hector do coaching?

[@ShadowpawSilvertongue]

So what about immobile champions like kog'mog and such? Im only askimg from a perspective since not all adc are mobile like lucian and MF. I play TF adc alot and he isnt mobile in combat. So my point is that as an adc its dependent on the adc you use, cause not all of them can just bait them out

[@thewildhealer541]

There are bad team mates and then there are people like the Illaoi I had, she went mid, didn't listen to a single ping, didn't follow up on anything, glued to her lane while we are trying to contest dragon, What the hell can I even do at that point, doesn't even move to take free kills that run past her in lane.. Like straight up trolling but idk, dude seemed high on glue or something. What do I do in those scenarios?

now can we get a guide on how to convince my mid to swap their lanes(it can slightly hurt their ego, and they go full int)

[@Arejen03]

the problem is that in gold/plat once solo lanes start inting hard and enemy team is now its hard to do anything becouse its 2v5, you just move on and try ur best hoping sololanes wont int as hard. Especially now matchmaking sucks, items are broken like ghostblade, smurfing is rampant, DUoQ is still in the game.

[@shadowraith10]

>Smurfing with miss fortune So, play a champion I really don't like playing. Got it. Jokes asside. My problem is that I'm ALSO behind along WITH my team. So the push power Hector had with MF? Doesn't apply to me when the enemy adc is ahead of me.

[@JaboDaVirgo]

I never really consider baiting myself as an adc seems kinda crazy tbh unless you have an enchanter support but noted~

[@KosstAmojan]

That's because it IS crazy. But when it falls to the ADC to salvage the game for their team, crazy is the least of your concerns.

[@LuckyGnom]

It is a really high elo concept. If you watch KR/CN ADC soloq POV's, you will notice that's all they do. They bait opponents and then turn the fight around. It's a really hard concept to get good at because it breaks the rules. You don't really need to use it unless you are diamond or higher.

Thank God you finally speak about the importance of dragons. i have cursed your videos after minimalizing the power of drake buffs because every low rank idiot will think they can just give every permanent buff to the oponent team as a result

[@JohanLucain]

They talked about souls and delaying that fight. Drakes are worthless execpt for souls and ancestral. That doesnt change. Its basically a race... Who is gonna get soul first. Idc about 5% more dmg or idk what else if the adc position like an ape. That buff will do Sht

[@jamiethomas3122]

@@JohanLucain 3 stacks of move speed/slow resistence or a massive ability haste does matter indeed. If we assume that the 2 teams are about equal in skill, permanent buffs play EVERY single time.

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

Of course the dragon buffs are benefitial, they are positive increases to certain stats. They are not worth the time they take to kill especially early game. When I'm a lvl 5 jungler it takes a lot of time to get dragon, from me and some of my teammates that go help. Much rather use that time to get camps that give the same exp for much less time commitment. Or get ganks off for much more gold and pressure.

[@thefance4708]

it's not about the reward. it's about the risk. bronzies try to contest drags that they have no business contesting. Your options are often: A) walk away and lose drag; B) die and lose drag anyway. probability of success is way more important to log(EV) than payoff.

[@jamiethomas3122]

@@Pyrrha_Nikos I don't agree. The 5 min mark is in my experience usually a good time to potentially get kills in the botlane, getting prio and taking a 3 man drake with tempo.

[@jtcye1162]

only possible in higher elo, in lower elo they just continue to make even worse mistakes throughout the whole game and are incapable of being carried

[@jtcye1162]

one thing about low elo games is that it is actually filled with a mixed range of elo players to be high elo (like diamond and above) you have to at least play a reasonable amount of games to be there (a bit of grinding), if you are there with just a few games, your actual elo is probably even higher. but for low elo, you can be there because 1. you didnt play a lot of ranked games 2. you actually belong there so if your low elo teammate fed some actually higher elo players, there is just no way you can carry the game as adc, adc champions simply cannot carry games with bad teammates while enemy team has good players.

[@LuckyGnom]

You missed the point of this video. By pressuring mid and rotating in a right time to a right place you take your teammates' mistakes and turn them into advantageous or neutral situations.

[@MisterJbo]

I mean it’s good and all, but my nonstop issue is having the enemy mid with a level 34 account going 15-0 in the first 5 mins of the game. Literally get smurfs every game. It ruins the rank grind entirely and ends up being who has the better smurf.

[@vinsonnguyen8717]

Why does hector go BT over IE second?

[@mmorkinism]

It's old BT anyway but when you're the only one fed on your team, you need to survive to carry so BT shield helps you survive enemy engages and lifesteal helps you stay in fight.

[@thefance4708]

The shield helps preserve the bonus movespeed.

[@thefance4708]

​@@mmorkinism I think you have it backwards. When playing a carry role with a losing team, building glass-cannon allows you to win fights with perfect micro, whereas a defensive build leads to a guaranteed loss since your teammates won't have the DPS to carry either.

[@Saikopasu-Shogo]

You basically said "Get fed and carry" but what if the enemy team is not as stupid as this one and doesn't feed you? Like, you clearly show how bad are players in NA servers.
