ADC by no means is a difficult role. All you need to succeed as an ADC is good CS, good positioning, and a good support. Kiting isn't much more than a convenient skill to have for when you fuck up your positioning.

 

That's because those are all champs that are inherently difficult or otherwise impossible to kite, due to gap closers and CC resistance. Ashe has some of the strongest kite, especially after her rework.

there is more than half of the champs you can't kite with ashe

It doesn't matter, kiting still isn't crucial and it's still easier with Ashe.

Any champ you can kite with Graves, Caitlyn, or Kalista, you can kite with Ashe just as easily (if not more easily).

kalista kite is really easier than ashe

[honk friend 1,978]

kalista kite is really easier than ashe

ashe out-kites kalista

kalista's kite is easily countered by slows whereas ashe's kite IS a slow

obligatory reiteration that kite is not a crucial skill

ADC is the most difficult role in the game. Period. Also, this season ADC has been the role with almost 0 impact and it has been extraordinary hard to carry as an ADC.

I need to rethink my choices in life and fix my priorities. It's like playing Leblanc all over again. D:

 I have to disagree with the last part personally, but I can say its one of the roles that at least needs a good bit more active awareness to do. Idk about actually hard/difficult, per se.

an ADC can carry if is team comp is based on him but that's the only way and he need to get fed

Adc Yasuo please :c xD pls pls :c

one of my best roles is adc but i main top and sup

Ha, funny joke. You almost had me for a second there

It actually is, though. I've been through all roles now excluding top lane which I haven't played enough overall because it just doesn't suit me that much. Jungle is a close second but ADC is the hardest role mechanically, excluding some mechanically hard champions of other roles, and strategically considering knowing how to position, when to split-push and when to group to siege/take objectives.

I've decided to play every ADC I own in alphabetical order a while back, just to set myself a little mission to get through my IP grind a bit easier

These games were either a total breeze or I ended up getting outplayed, but in every game I did considerably well, I feel like I got completely carried by my support.

I'll level with you on ADC not being a very impactful role right now, but by no means is it a mechanically challenging role to play. ADC to me is literally therapeutic, I play the role to untilt and relieve stress because of how simple it is.

I always try not having to play ADC which isn't hard because my duo mate mains AD but it's just too stressful and hurts my fingers after a while It's just my personal perception that AD is the hardest role also because you are highly dependant on a random player most of the time and if your Support sucks, you are basically screwed. It feel a lot easier to support a trash AD even though it might still result in a lose if they can't even pick up kills or are too stupid to make use of them etc.

 

Also, I feel extremely pressured to perform well or carry when I play AD which is a feeling I don't get when playing Mid or maybe Jungle. I've mained AD and Supp for quite some time now and I can safely say I'm at a high skill level with both roles and ADC seems to be the most demanding in the game.

Jungle is the hardest role.. :c 

[Velcorn 279]

Jungle is the hardest role.. :c 

I don't think so... Aside from some mechanically hard champions, Jungle is a pretty easy role... Yes, you do have to have good strategic knowledge and general game knowledge BUT especially during this season and tank meta, you could simply spam retardedly easy junglers and get away with it. Spam Sejuani, spam Eve, spam Shy, spam Skarner etc. there have been so many ridiculously overpowered junglers this season I can't second Jungle to be the hardest role...

If you can't play that champion, it's useless. You have the responsibility and power to change the lane's progress, victory or defeat, you have to be better than your enemy jungler, farm more, and get more map control. It's pretty difficult unless you play Xin Zhao or Warwick

I don't think you can really evaluate this objectively so it comes down to personal opinion... In all honesty, I don't really think there is that much of a difference in required skill for each role that it really matters. Maybe for some champions but that's also debatable

There is no "more difficult role", all the roles are different and require different things of the player. If you're not good at what the role requires of you, then you're gonna suck at it. ADC, for example, requires good positioning and outputting damage on the right targets (which may not always be the enemy carry). I never play ADC, but when I'm with my friends I absolutely love playing Twitch, and from my experience from playing ADC regularly (top lane main) it takes some time to get used to such a drastic change of play-style.

That's why you always break the meta

anyone have kindred yet

I'm messing about with her (Lamb is a her, right? Though, I guess I should say "them" since they are a pair) as I type. Only customs for now, but im going live in a bit. So far, she's kinda hella fun and I only expect that to be more so in live games.

How is Kindred vs Yasuo? xD

Matchup favors Kindred assuming no Wind Wall, at least 2-3 hunts and equal gold amount. Factor in Windwall and it's very close. Lamb's Respite is actually quite the ultimate.

I don't think Kindred can kite that much.. and it's q can get blocked by Wind Wall :?

Yeah, Kindred's Q is still projectiles, fired at the nearest three targets prioritizing champs. Honestly, Qing through or around that is a decent part of what closed it.

 

Also, during the test, Yas never moved out of Wolf's AoE, so that's a huge reason why.
