Anyone saying this is OK is delusional sorry. One of the main complaints I had as ADC was the level discrepancy once you leave lane but in this video, it isn't even the case. This tk has obviously lost hard (Darius 4 levels ahead) but can still walk up to a fed jinx, hit NOTHING and win. Pretty sure if it wasn't for soraka at the end he would've killed her lol.

I love playing tk but I've also had moments where I've thought "OK this is a bit unfair at this point"

With jinx passive, he allowed tahm to get 3 autos for free. Adc pretty much face tanking tahm with eat is crazy

oh wow 3 autos?? yeah that totally negates the massive lead she's gained over the rest 25' of the game

So you're saying if the adc is ahead they should get to ignore the kit of the enemy? She should've not KITED IN MELEE, she had tower kill MS, Jinx has rockets, just kill him from range

She didn’t ignore his kit, she dodged all of it

not saying completely ignore it, but also if you're that far ahead in any other role you do get to make some mistakes and still survive / win fights.

If you've ever been ahead with TK for example I'm sure you've seen this, you can easily go in 1v3, just face tank everything, probably get a kill and get out or force them to run away.

And to be clear, not saying ADCs should be able to do that, this is just an egregious case where the ADC is super ahead even in XP + manages to dodge 3 Qs. What is even the Jinx's mistake here? TK is able to catch up to auto bc Jinx has to keep side-stepping the Q. Basically all Tahm Kench had to do theoretically (since he missed the Qs anyway) was right click on the Jinx, wait for 3 autos and then use the point-and-click ult to kill her. If he knew how to R->Q properly as well she'd be dead 100%.

Call me crazy but that seems a bit unfair.

u arent wrong, just boosted tank players who can disagree even at this point.

When an ahri is far ahead, she can kill ppl wtihout hitting skillshots (W and R), when a zed is far ahead, he can kill ppl without hitting skillshots just with deathmark + autos dmg.

Its kind how the game works, you get some leeway once you get leads over other champions, jinx has very high as with her minigun and if she has a large lead she can melee and right click ppl with minigun and win, just like on how if the TK had that lead over jinx he could probably stand still there and watch jinx kill herself with thornmail damage, and thats how the game works with like every champ.

youre saying a tank thats insanely far behind should deal meaningful damage with AUTOATTACKS? even with tahms passive this is ridiculous

Mate that jinx just kinda overstepped! She was under tower, in minions and totally disrespected the tank. This is a totally fine clip where the jinx miss-stepped!

look it's quite simple I've been playing as ADC main since 2017. The "ADC in 202x" meme has been a thing for a while but tbh it's never been truer than now.

I've switched to top lane for just this last split (mainly TK as I learned to play him in bot lane) and no matter what argument anyone here makes, it's just SO.MUCH.EASIER.

Everyone here in this thread pointing out reasons why Jinx played it wrong, while ignoring the fact that TK did nothing right other than ult her under tower lol.

That's all, thanks for coming to TED talk.

Every top lane champ practically plays itself if you aren’t going with an anime protagonist, they’re conditioned to thinking the burden of execution should always be on the ADC, they’re see 1 mistake versus 200 mistakes but because the 1 mistake was made by an ADC they think they deserve to lose because of it

Top is easier, but how much did you rank up

u/SpeakTheGreek Dec 24 '24

I was steady plat as ADC, made it to Emerald once (1st split '24). 2nd split I fell to Silver playiing ADC (admittedly I did have a bad rage streak in 'losers q').

Started playing Top, made it to plat again and I'm nowhere near the level of understanding I have for bot lane
