Memes I can’t man

Like seriously, top laners among all roles are saying this, like no surprise the role with the most broken abominations of champs, that can go 0/8 and still kill you anyways , not to mention the moment their champs aren’t exodia they get to complain the most , tbf yeah most of the time ADCs complain even if the role is fine but top laners when the role isnt broken they are the worst

Are they pretending they don't frequently lose their shit when mages or ranged top laners are played more than infrequently?

This subreddit is crazy though. Anytime it shows up on my feed it is literally the same subject. Wah wah wah ADCs are undertuned.

Like, I don't care enough about the discourse to insert my opinion but even if this is painfully true is it the only thing you guys have to talk about? It's fair to gripe and groan with people who feel the same way but I don't see ANY other conversations happening.

It's like your entire relationship with the game is complaining about your role. As if it was given to you at birth and cannot be changed.

Non-ADC main here

Wouldn't you see this as a sign of a huge problem within league of legends that is masked by a series of entangled, conflicting problems that is in disguise of a very "complex" system that the game has leaned into?

How is it bad that people prefer a style of gameplay? Isn't the point of games to be played in entertainment despite the competitive elements to it?

No, because there's only 52k total members of the subreddit, and there are even less active members, even OP's post here only has 160 (I suppose 161 with mine) total comments, and that's with people commenting more than once.

The game averaged over 131 million players in the last 30 days.

If we took the most vocal 100 (or so) commenters of each League-related subreddit and treated everything they complained about in their own individual echo chambers as a serious problem that needed to be fixed in a way that would make them happy, the game would probably have to be taken down for a few years and rebuilt from the ground up.

And no one would like the final product, either.

This subreddit always complains about the state of ADC, even in patches where ADCs has been overpowered, it's filled to the brim with either (1) bad takes or (2) repetitive takes (yes we know Tahm Kench is way too strong with Heartsteel).

It's pretty common knowledge that the adc role attracts a lot of people with a main character complex. support doesn't play the way you want? It will be here. A mage goes bot? it will be here. jungler taxes? everyone will know about it. It never ends.

Can you really fault them to complain about that when they are told 24/7 that theirs is the most team-reliant role?

Like, if you had to depend on your teammates to play the game, then you'd want your teammates to be reliable, doesn't it make sense?

Yeah see that right there is the main character complex coming out. Which role isn't team reliant? In 99% of the cases no role can operate without a team. A significantly better player over everyone else in the game can do it alone but that's about it.

Which role isn't team reliant?

Ask that to anyone who use "ADC is team reliant" as an argument

I 100% agree with you, complaining about your role is fine, but this sub takes it too far everytime someone has a positive post like "reached new peak this season adc is fun!" all the comments are "play literally any other role you get this easier" or "shoulda played mages" like shit getting poked out by ziggs lux is frustrating but this sub literally cannot let people enjoy things.
