[@SilverFoxy207]

LOOK work with your support. I main support and end up using up all mana by lvl 3 saving my ADC. Number one mistake is ADC close to dying then hiding behind Support & refusing to recal, then when your one hit to give enemy a kill ADC are afraid of losing minions. equalling ADC needs to stop pushing before lvl 5 by 1st over extending then hiding behind sup, enemie Jg will notice and 8 x out of 10 will notice and you will be ganked equalling you and sup dying. LASTLY:: Sup gets a small % thats the point of sup first choice. you get the rest of the gold majority % go to ADC from sup minion take downs.

[@calmgentleman]

The most important part about all of this is to keep in mind that these things will not work sometimes. Yes, sometimes everything goes wrong, yes sometimes all the strats actually work against you. however, the important part is that on average it will work more often than not. sometimes when you side your whole teams dies, they get baron and just end after and there is no gold in the world to compensate that in one push. but thats not most of the time.

[@d4rki314]

just tryed to play like in the guide, lane won, but jgl calls weird outnumbered drake fights when resets would be better etc, tryed to split on empty lanes after 14 min, enemy jace and shaco cought me a few times off guard but still had most gold in team and second most damage despite the loss if u can consistently pull that off for sure it works to climb in solo queue

I used to be an adc main for years, I was stuck in d1-d2 for ages and peaked in Master 70 LP. I switched to jungle later and have been consistently high master/grandmaster ever since. Like even as a "beginner" jungler I felt like I had so much more carry potential compared to adc which I had played for years. I don't recommend ADC to anyone if you want to climb solo q.

[@Nikos150]

So fucking true, i was hardstuck as adc for years and i managed to get diamond only after swapping to top lane. Funny thing i was still playing adc champs like tristana and vayne but i could finally win lane and carry by myself. ADC mains are not crybabies just because, they are because the role is insufferable.

[@ИгорьВиноградов-ф4ф]

@@Nikos150 I beleive the big problem is ADC is a very (if not the most) popualr role and it's never autofill or someone off role on it. So when you play as ADC your opponent is always an ADC main too, always. While top/jungle now are "autofill roles" so if you main top or jungle you'll often gonna play against autofill/off-role toper/jungler and it becomes so much easier to dominate your opponent.

[@Vronize]

As a toplaner, Im here to add a little more input about why bot looses and what not to do. 1)The game is not finished. Even if you die as a first blood, the game is not over, dont start arguing about jungle ganking you or tresh not hooking etc. Arguing and toxicity only benefits enemy 2)Dont pick odd champs, especially if you are in low elo. Fundementals are important, just play something that is conventional so team can olay around you (I am talking to you 1/14/3 Olaf adc) 3)If we tell you to not die or play safe, its not for toxicity but we believe your damage will be relevant to the game. The whole team needs your damage so we want you to poke em from sidelines, not engage first in teamfight and die. If we tell you to play safe, just farm. As you can see from these 3 points, the reason why I lost my games isnt skill issue but mentality issue. I luv you adc's, work together not against, thanks

[@mkayy736]

Ur 2nd point is not true. I climbed from bronze to Diamond 2 seasons ago playing exclusively jarvan Leona bot with my premade. 10 times easier to carry low Elo with that lane than conventional adc bot lane.

[@lucidcortex8444]

Duo queue is a cheat code no matter what champs you play if you execute with those champs properly.

[@afterlyte]

​@@mkayy736then you're not actually solo queuing so that's completely irrelevant

[@Vronize]

@@mkayy736 Thats a good point but generally works in "unconventional pics to cheese", way more effective as top and mid. For example in low elos not many people know how to play against ranged top, so even if you pick ashe top you can win. Issue with this is, picking a champ like this has major cons for a role. It increases the dmg potential of the team expodentially compared to a bruiser (especially with the new adc item changes) but also your team migh struggle with teamfights due to lack of engage or the enemy acctually understands how to play against you and they stomp you. This aceraio goes for bot like this kinda similar but with a catch. Picking a melee or bruiser like champ in bot might sound good but its all strategy and team comp reliant, the moment that draven or caitlin got their ie, its not game over but you just crippled yourself in a way. You need a dmg house in the team, eighter has build to kill tanks or just shred em from distance, or its a guerilla warefare where you try to jump on enemy adc in jungle as quickly as you can

[@Vronize]

@@afterlyte The difference between solo and duo is night and day, yes. Just the communication can win games. For example if nocturne ults you can gamble on who to ult as shen, but if your mate tells you eighter its him or bot, you can save a whole potential gank

This only works if you are very low elo and you are smurfing. To be able to side lane as an adc requires map/enemy position awareness that a lot of lower elo players don't have so you don't get collapsed on. It causes the adc to be alone and very susceptible to get jumped on by enemy assassins or lane vs champions they can't step up to for cs, not be the first ones to join skirmishes mid / other side objective considering adc doesn't have tp, and loses ally mid xp by being with support.

[@afterlyte]

...which is exactly what they're trying to teach? That's the entire point of the guide

[@HuyNguyen-jl7go]

Sometimes they force a 5v4 fight while you split bot,and losing mid tower early is hell for adc ,even if you take a tower bot lane in return. Map control>gold.

[@MetaDataAutomation]

This isn't a high elo guide they said that. In high elo, you do a 13 min swap with mid... In low elo, this isn't a great move. And I agree, in all low elos (plat and below) you can't play the games thinking you have a team to rely on, it doesn't work. There will be games where the enemy plays really well and they see you trying to split as an ADC and just fuck you up then your team, but in general you are pulling resources from other lanes to come kill you and this is a good thing. Even if you die and get nothing but pushed your wave up to their T2 tower, you would have dragged multiple enemies there, then they all clear the wave and then they start pining where to go next / go back meaning your death gave them no advantage. In low elo, usually they will all want that "free kill" from you because all they think about is KDA. And yes, at some point you need a brain, some games you can tell when it isn't working and so you need to adapt, but generally speaking this will be the best option.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

this is literally a GUIDE. yeah, there will be idiotic ADCs that try to split-push (they'll do it even before watching this video) but the whole point of guides is teaching them things like if you push tab and see 4-5 enemy question marks, maybe dont split push.

[@gaze2156]

My biggest tip for ADC players: Walk away from enemies. That it literally your greatest advantage. If someone is running at you, walk away. Don't stop to attack them. Don't try to outplay them. Just give up that space, and walk back to your teammates. Start attacking them when they're in range of your teammates. Your job is not to 100-0 every enemy you come across, it's to tax a chunk of health from any enemy who wants to do anything near your teammates. You can't win fair fights because your role is to make every fight unfair, so don't fight fair. Walk away.

[@yurilopes420]

as an adc (and a player in general) who dies A LOT ever since i started playing back in s2, i will take this as my mantra from now on thank you for this, i think this will greatly reduce my deaths and in general be a much more effective player. i usually go for the one shots 1v1s and 1v5s for no reason even if i may be really strong and mechanically good monkey brain do monkey business

[@楊明儒-b5q]

Yeah them chasing ADCs is basically a really long CC

[@victoradryan625]

That is why you seem like a bad adc. Scared adcs are the worst. Good adcs understand death better than anyone else, so they know what can kill them and how. This type of knowledge allows good adcs to see when they can fight and when they can not. Bad advice, be better.

[@mistersergei]

[@hbsamurai3173]

if you play like this you will never be the deciding factor in the outcome of your games. You have to play at the edge of failure in order to win. You are ahead? good. Make the winning play. You are behind? Draw attention, farm up, get gold and then make the play. to win the game , in any game, is to make game winning plays that are, on average, successful 51% of the times. That's all you gotta do. But if you walk away then you remove yourself from the game that is ladder climbing. You are literally giving control to 4 random people. That's a bad idea.

It depends on the comps you're against, why would you split against a TF top with Nocturne?

You're pulling 2 to you and/or getting tf or noc ult. That still sounds in line with his intentions of split pushing?

[@marcusthomas4727]

@@BehPoker Sure. The point here is that why would you do it when there is a high likelihood that you’re too immobile to get away from that pressure and survive as compared to someone where the cost is higher. It’s easier to lock down a squishy adc in this situation but if a Mundo is in this situation splitting why would the Noc and TF go on them?

[@BehPoker]

@@marcusthomas4727 I think his point was that you're basically the weakest and most useless person on your team at this stage so you pulling a stronger person to match sets your team up to have a better 4v4. You're also likely the lowest level and have the lowest death timer and have good wave clear. I think especially in plat and lower, there is statistically a good shot that you won't have 2 people wanting to push side lanes so it's just something you can consistently do.

[@BehPoker]

@@marcusthomas4727 and then he also says if you're equal levels/gold, you should win against all those champs. And if you're majorly down to something like a fed noc or kass, that game is probably doomed anyways so you might as well max your XP/gold to scale up to winnable state and just hope enemy team isn't coordinated enough to end early (and since it's low elo, that seems fairly likely)

my problem is as an adc main, i can come out of laning phase 10-3 but when top and/or mid feeds its over

[@checkyoursixgaming]

99% of the ADCs I have to support as main never rush for level 2. It tends to be me pushing for it as support and forcing us to be level 2. Sometimes it works, and other times my ADC gets so mad I was touching the wave at all that they int or ragequit right there. Also, the level 3 spike is real if there is a character that relies upon it. The main character that really needs level 3 is Brand. Level 2 for Brand isn't a big deal, but level 3 is HUGE as either the ADC or support role. One thing you didn't mention in this video is proper use of wards and knowing jungle gank timers.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

if they dont touch wave than just dont touch it either. you WILL get lvl 2 and 3 if you just wait and back off. who cares if your ADC ints? mute them and stave off the bleeding until you can roam and enable another lane, or better yet, carry yourself with a champion that ideally isnt an enchanter or tank support. taking advantage of lvl 2 is a cognizant effort between both laners on bot and it always starts with ADC, if they dont follow the program it's fine, just play passively along side them and just ward tri-bush to look for jungle gank under tower

[@CrisProGameZelda]

This guide only works while you climbing till gold 4. After that, this strategy barely works in 25-30% of your games, and if you continue playing like this, you're gonna stuck and get reported really hard. In medium elos you have multiple things to considerer: - Assasins always are a threat, since they can one shot you even if they are like 0/5/2 on the score board. As long they have at least 1-2 items, they can kill you easylie. So, pushing alone the line almost always ends with your head chopped from your body. - Winning the early game phase line is not so much impactful as a whole on the late game, and also can be even a negative choice since you can give bounties to the enemies. And as a said before, you're squishy, so everyone can kill you and take it. Thats something really important because the balance of gold can turn really fast if you play with this mental conception. - The worst case scenario for an ADC is not dying 3-5 times on your lane. It is your mental down because you start messing around alone and not playing around your team. - When you are far ahead of your opponents, the worst you can do is getting stick at your lane. Is better to roam mid/jg to expand your impact by letting your mid/jg gets kills with your help. Also secure towers/dragons/objectives. -When you are far beyond of your opponents, the most important thing to do is farm and roam every time the enemy adc do it too. And pray the enemie adc be overconfident and your assasins take it in control. Good luck ADC mains, you will need it.

Your "push into taking towers" segment is the single quickest way to lose a game in low elo. 1. Your team WILL flame you and NEVER even attempt to help you again. 2. All you're doing is giving the enemy team a massive wave to farm. 3. The enemy team just got map priority by killing all your teammates. 4. You'll likely cause your team to FF even if you could win. 5. You might cause a teammate to afk. 6. If you get hit by a global ult and collapsed on, you're dead. 7. Anything else I can't think of. This guide is not made with Iron-Gold in mind. Unless you've been playing and practicing against Plat+ players allowing you to gain that level of skill, you'll never actually be able to climb above Gold. I'd argue alot of Bronze level players are actually playing at a Gold level, but can't climb due to all the Smurfs, Inters, Trolls, and genuinely bad players holding them back.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

you're talking about a lot of factors that are just not important to think about. who cares if "the right play" pisses off your teammates? they are also in Iron-Gold FOR A REASON. mute them, accept that this game has a lot of man-children with soft egos, and move on to the next match as you learn how to carry. the guide of course doesn't incorporate a bunch of "what ifs" because it literally can't. there's countless factors you have to just get used to identifying to know when to implement the strategies in the video.

usually because ADCs 1) dont look for key abilities they need to try to avoid 2) try to build whatever is recommended by their companion app of choice, which usually involves glass cannon crit build and thus have no defensive items until like last item, if the game even lasts that long 3) have the positioning skills of a melee minion that only knows how to go forward and die. 4) don't look at the map.

Such a good video ! Helped me a lot, went from Gold I -> Dia 2

[@trafalgarlaw8373]

I'm not sure if the video is stupid, or intentionally misleading. The first part is solid. The splitpushing becomes very dubious. 1) Your gold math is very off. a) Worst case is 4 deaths, not 3, which becomes 1800 b) the enemy can now take anywhere from drake, towers to baron, giving objectives and 1-3k more gold as a result. Even just ending if its late enough. So the worst case of you being away from your team for a teamfight isnt "haha its good actually gold" its "you singlehandedly losing the game for your team for 1k gold c) T2 towers exist once, and they may already be gone. For your idea to work you need to have a pushing wave, have t1 be gone, have the t2 be there, and have no one interrupt for half a minute 2) Your fight math doesnt work for most adcs. Kaisa has invisiblity, a big shield, big dash and % dmg that lets her 1v1 a lot of things. Most adcs cant 1v1 that chogath,, and even kaisa will get killed by a solid mage combo or assassin. You picked kaisa and chogath knowing most adcs cant do that. 3) you dying is fine because... they sent someone strong and thus that person isnt elsewhere? Well you're dead, and they can go back to that drake, mid or whatever it was, plus the gold --> if this stronger person logic is true, then why would you be splitting if youre stronger? Especially as an adc with dps youre better off in a teamfight? 4) Teams will fight. And they'll lose, because you werent there. And they will get objectives as a result, which wont be compensated for by your t2 turret. They'll get that t2 back, stack drakes and get baron 5) You work with this weird hypothetical where you keep going to farm, get infinite gold from respawning t2 turrets, your team dies but somehow only minorly, you ignore all the objectives the enemy gets, finally join your team at fullbuild minute 30 (where they of course wont have ended yet), swoop in like a savior and easy carry the fights. Yeah, gl with that lmao.

[@markevanfesalbon1710]

I just watched this it ranked me up to diamond. I would imagine if there are players who understand the zoning and strategies, it would be difficult to climb up as this video will help you easily get into the proper laning phase.

[@brandingald177]

12:20 okay but I still have a problem with this because a lot of times when I try to do this my team loses in a 4v4 while the enemy top laner or jungler comes to side lane and either kills me or if he can't do that still denies me taking tower. Any advice on what I can do in these situation? Should I just stay with my team then?

[@soloom1691]

Actually an amazing guide :) thanks!

[@firestorm8265]

This is a great idea. I should tax my jungler every time he doesn’t gank.

[@Neovipa]

Not enough emphasis on how important map awareness is when you decide to use a strategy like this. You need to be aware of who can challenge you and where they could be coming from, or else you can just get collapsed on and killed for free while your team does absolutely nothing with it cause they had no opportunities on the map. Knowing where everyone is and what their options are is what lets you decide when and how to split, especially as a less powerful splitpusher on adc.

[@Surreal93]

insanely helpful and well made Video, thank u very much. Cant wait for the Midlane one.

Once again a fantastic guide with crazy good tips for any elo. Even as a guy not playing adc at all i learned a lot about supporting the adc in his mission and using his map priority in my favor as a midlaner. Very cool

[@MB-gd1yy]

You guys expect low elo teams to understand, that the strongest enemy member is out of the fight so they have a better chance fighting? Never happens, they just see you splitting, dying and proceed to flame you instead of doing anything.

[@Tripenyazaraz]

dude if u solo sidelaning as an adc u risking dying, and not risking only if you are far ahead. And if ur team loses a fight, enemies get waves, your jungle, towers and objectives. And now you got one tower and three waves, and loses two towers and a dragon. It is a possible strategy, but it super high risk and you rarely can pull it off.

[@zayuhmakesmusic]

man this was really helpful thanks

[@thomasschulte6745]

11:33 the biggest Problem with this strategy is the mindest of Ur Teammates. Nice that u got a shit Ton of Gold, but Ur Team doesnt care. The will blame u for loosing Fights into existence, get tilted, play then even worse than before, feeding more or even just ragequit. I think u Do better fighting with Ur team. Using that strategy i made the exp in low elo that Ur Team starts to play against u, up to even loosing the game in purpose and that werent like outstanding one every 50th game, NO, i got people like that every second game. Players who literally Do everything in their Power willfully, so i dont Win this game, regardless how effective my plays were.

[@vanhalen0222]

I agree and disagree with your comment here. I think what your touching on here is that the team doesn't care about your strategy. One issue with these videos is that everyone in low elo watches them then decides to force exactly that strategy next game. I'm not kidding I have seen games where 3 team members are trying to split push. I don't know if I win more, but a strategy which has massively increased my enjoyment of the game is try and figure out what strategy my teammates are trying to use and act to support that strategy. Do they need me to split and pull pressure? Or should I be playing safe waiting for them to pull pressure then forcing objectives

[@thomasschulte6745]

see ur point definitely, for going alone 1 v 9, dont even care what ur mates do....adc is just the wrong role for that mentalty. u can do that as toplaner. As adc, 99% of the times there is a point in the game where u have to function together with ur team to win a team fight and end the game. When ur team already hates u and just doesnt want you to win this game, it will not work out most of the time, even if ur good in game. I actually think the gold gap with this strategy will not widen enough and the game will last too long to the point where everyone has like full items so ur own lead doesnt matter anymore, when ur constantly trading potenially ur team + towers + drakes/barons for turrets and waves.

[@vanhalen0222]

@@thomasschulte6745 I'm not going to claim to know better if you main adc. My method when I get Autofilled bot is to just pick siver and play safe to give another lane the best chance to carry

ADC is best enjoyed with an actual Duo partner being either support or jungle.

A lot of these strats are really only possible on Kai'sa reliably. Other champs can not pull off the game delays well enough.

The example at 14:45 is so trash. Your team literally killed them all for you, while you just ignored it. If they lost that fight you’d be a fucking inter

[@ofanichan]

I recently picked up ADC and decided to main it honestly because the role just fit my playstyle the most. I'm a very passive player, some would even say a coward lmao. And if there is any role that does their best from far away and who has to always be careful, it's the adc role. I'm trying to get better at it and hopefully one day I will get out of silver as an adc haha. (I used to be a plat-level support. But I don't want to play support anymore)

[@ofanichan]

@@addysaster176 yeah for sure. Having experience already in botlane, swapping to adc just feels nice. It can be mechanicly more difficult for sure. Some supports just have to go in, but adcs have to be aware of their positionings at all times, know who or when to attack. And just remember that the #1 rule for you is to just keep yourself alive, but deal as much damage as you can. It can be a bit of headache.

[@CrazyJohnnyCJ]

Alright, now bring my guide for support as quickly as possible, thank you!

[@darktam3570]

I don't leash no matter how much the jgl pings, the supp should do that but I go to the lane so that I can quickly reach lvl 2 no matter what the jgl thinks of me

[@BLM_main]

How do you measure success at the end of each game? While new to the game its easier to look at kills, but it seems ADC is more about pushing lanes for gold to support your team so they can get better gear and rake in the kills. Is this accurate?

[@Endeby]

Most junglers dont need leash even if they start red

[@HallidayASR]

But in low ELO, unless they specifically say so, if you don't leash most jungles get immediately angry and tell you they won't be ganking your lane

[@ProbroXLv1]

but why would you not leash? it gives you tempo. just do like a auto q auto and leave. this is esp true for fast clears. if you get a small leash you will have time to do other stuff like look for a gank and stuff.

[@adammat13]

@@ProbroXLv1It gives your jungler minimal tempo, but looses your own tempo for it. If you leash and the enemy doesn't you immediately give up on level 2 advantage, thus early lane advantage, and risk getting cheesed from either tribrush or the lane brush. You also inform the enemy team where your jungler started, so they now where to expect the first gank after a clear.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

@@HallidayASR they weren't gonna gank your lane anyways. if anything, if those kinds of people stay away it's actually a bonus since they wont feed at least your lane. Those people exist to AFK farm, die at objectives because they don't know how lane priority works, and never look at a map. mute them and move on

[@zacharyjackson1829]

@@ProbroXLv1 leash does quite a few things 1) it tells enemy jungle and your enemy lane your jungler's pathing clear. 2) opens yourself up to bush camping cheese (yes you can avoid this with preemptive wards, but that takes away from you using a better ward later on) 3) opens yourself up to being spaced off the wave these are the biggest potential consequences of leashing. does it always happen? of course not, but even one of these things can throw your lane which is a large risk for shaving off a couple seconds of your jungler's clear, something you can't even guarantee they'll use effectively.

[@michaelxie837]

That’s how he got that cs though, by focusing more on farming / pushing compared to fighting

[@elie_]

@@michaelxie837 I can assure you that the vast majority of low elo players miss so much cs even in practice tool that no amount of pushing could get them to 10cs/min. That doesn’t mean that the strat isn’t viable, but at least, I think it would make more sense to illustrate these videos by using low elo players’ replays when they’re coached live for the macro.

[@michaelxie837]

@@elie_ sure, but missing last hits is something that you don’t need a coach for, that’s easy to see and practice on your own, but missing cs from macro is much harder to notice on your own especially if you’re low elo, so teaching the latter is much more useful than just saying “get better at last hitting”. In any case the video wasn’t marketed as “how to get 10 cs per min” anyway. Although sure I’d agree with you watching a coaching of a low elo player implementing the strat might be more useful

[@elie_]

@@michaelxie837 I agree with you. It's just that the CSing is one thing, but when high elo coaches say "I won't use mechanics this game" or "this is possible for you" etc... I usually don't really like it, because it doesn't make sense. I saw countless videos of high elo players say "See, I didn't use mechanics in this teamfight, only AA", but the fact is that yes, a challenger player can win tf only AAing, but they use perfect spacing, targetting, decision-making etc... This is why I feel that these vdeos are vastly misleading in what they pretend to sell, and they would benefit having a low elo player behind the keybord and mouse ^^

@@elie_ fair enough!

[@DrakZhull]

So basically what Kayle players have been doing for years

[@youyiyou]

I feel like top/mid does the split pushing instead of adc doing it would be much better. They're easier to drag people to defend them and get away. Each time you die you're delaying your growth. You should just farm on mid lane and prepare for objective fights, considering adcs are much more fragile, and they don't even bring tp. Farming safely, not inting and getting caught alone, that's their job.

[@itskittymcdermott5471]

Question what do you do when your support fucks off to any other lane than bottom for the whole game

[@madprofessor2591]

I knoe these videos are supposed to exist to help low elo players (not that im thaaat high, i peaked d1 im not trying to flex) but you talk about half of the stuff people need to learn. For me its more important to learn how to face certain match ups. Like what to do when you are vs a poke lane, what to do when you are vs a scaling lane, what to do when you are vs a killing threat lane. Macro for me is the next step. First you need to teach them how to match up THEN what to do after they actually manage to go through the laning phase

[@sicdav1d0ff]

12:20 "i know what you're thinking, my team dies while im on sidelane" No that wasn't what i was thinking. I was thinking that op assassin and toplane fighter champions will hunt you down and kill you with no effort when you are on sidelane alone.

[@kladblok2729]

Yes you are right. I think in low elo you should focus on fighting since everyone will fight regardless of how winning it is. I just started playing adc and winning by sitting mid and only joining fights when i think i can win. If i would go splitpush i would die to the mid top and jung 10 times.
