If cait is hanging way back and not doing damage, either their frontline is hanging out of the fight in which case it's a stomp/not a fight, or they're busy with your frontline. If they're busy and you walk up a little and start dealing damage, how likely are they to stop and go for you? I doubt that's all too likely.

For most other adcs, the distance you have to move up when hanging back so far is a large tradeoff. For cait it kindof isn't.

I didn't realize those gapclosers were so ginormous, though. They certainly don't feel that monstrous in-game for whatever reason.

Since spells are from center of model and AAs are from range, they're a little shorter in-range than the numbers indicate, but yeah, gap closers are huge.

If the j4/irelia/vi/w/e is competent?

They aren't blowing their gap closer until either the ADC or APC is in range unless you absolutely force them to somehow, and that usually requires a catch.

In the mid game, the ADC still has a chance b/c the j4 or w/e isn't gonna be tanky enough to soak up damage forever, but once the j4/vi/w/e has a few tank items, it's over.

ADCs aren't objectively that useful in team fights. If it weren't for turret pushing and how potent ADCs are in 2v2 lanes, you wouldn't need ADCs on every team comp.

Yes I'll just let idiocy run rampant.

You're right i'd rather people spout out stupid shit over and over.

If you think I'm being mean you have literally no fucking idea.

Don't get on some moral high ground here bud.

Don't be a smart person saying stupid shit for everyone's sake.

Or.. you could behave like an adult instead of an impudent child. There's no need for that here.

Edit: Point is, LoL is a fun game. There's enough jerks on there, why should anyone come here, where there's an established community of people with similar interests in things other than just League, and be treated the same way? Even if what he said was stupid, there are better ways of pointing it out. Or, you know, not at all.

The perspective that ADCs needed a team fight buff before 4.10 was actually pretty widespread and contributed to the AD/Randuin itemization changes.

It's funny b/c it's fairly obvious that I'm a better player than you who knows more about the game than you by a substantial margin.

This.

LiftLift has been complaining about how little ADCs can do in team fights for like over a year. I think it was before season 3 that Riot basically said to ADCs "you no longer get to 2-shot tanks in team fights."

OK, so I threw every game on my placement matches by playing Zilean Support trying to get into low bronze so I can experience the climb and play with my other Bronze5 friends

Manage to go 4-6 by not doing anything

Got placed into S4.

Now I wished I actually tried.

If it's your first time doing placements, you really should try your best.

I mean, you should probably try your best in general. It takes active throwing to reach bronze.

Toxicity corresponds with size of premades.

I wish there was a box I could check that said "match me with solo-queued players only."

What the hell saki.

The main way toxicity manifests is flaming. Fire spreads.
