The only role that sounds miserable to me is ADC. Jungle is fun if you mute all and pretend you're playing a single player game.

This *actually* a good video on what makes certain roles good or bad. I've been so many KZfaqrs tackle this idea and do it poorly.

People literally can’t read. This is a tier lost on easiest roles to climb not easiest roles to play. There’s a clear difference but so many LoL players can’t read so makes sense the reaction this video is getting.

Since a lot of mages are picked as the "ADC" in the botlane. It makes sense for the Marksman to be in middle due to all the mentioned benefits in the video. Safest/shortest lane, solo xp/gold, reaches 6 the fastest, impacts both sides of the lane (and many marksman have global ults, the fast lvl6+global ult seems like a no brainer). Mages usually are deadly in their combo but not early on. They may do some nasty chunk of damage at best. But paired with a support, suddenly botlane duo is a perfect wombo combo lane that has clean kills. Not some kind of support burst to 50% then autohit for 30dmg marksman battle to the death coinflip gameplay. Mid also cries A LOT for jng ganks to setup kills for them, while in this case, the supp can do it. The adc in midlane literally won't care at all for ganks, his prio is to farm and get big. What do u think?

Thank you for making this video. I'm an ADC main and i feel like the amount of knowledge and precision to play well for this role is higher than the others. The only part about low elo ADC i love is that indeed enemies dont know how to punish and end games fast so even if you were down cs or kills you can always scale back up and carry the game as often the fed enemy ADC doesnt know how to actually carry the game to its end.

the reality is the ADC role is simple, you do damage and have a small pool of champs to pick from. With the simplicity comes the cost of agency, if the a role with the most (reliable) late game damge had lots of early game agency it would be "OP", so by design and as intented this is why adc is bad for soloQ climbing, great for 5v5 and higher skilled 5v5 where i would say its most prob the easiest role. Solo queue is designed for "ff15" "x dif" so naturally adc isnt as relevant as in higher pro play where games are much slower (low kills) and adcs get to farm up alot. Moreso soloQ is often comp gap (even pro), "BOT" role has the least flexability in filling their teams gaps... low elo eveyone just wants to deal dmg and even play loads of crit and often teams land up with no frontline and cc. Tyler1 is proof, from ADC main "best Draven in the world" to pretty much being the most succesful streamer in SoloQ now hates the role and has perfected all other roles and found them easier.

For the support role, I would say there’s a caveat for roaming. The fourth instance to roam is if your adc doesn’t know wave management and rather than letting your lane feed two kills for every gank, try to influence the rest of the map to offset how bad your adc is. It won’t work 100% of the time, but roaming Janna top lane is a thing for a reason. Even if the enemy bot lane comes out 10/0/0, if you can collect on that bounty with your fed jg/mid/top because you got them ahead in that time, you may be able to salvage that game. Edit: e.g. rather than being in lane to let your adc farm (who has proven already they only know how to fast push) be at rift to ensure first turret gold to top or mid.

glad to see you back man. you're videos are some of the best and you're way too unknown

something i have noticed is that low elo games are often decided in the first 5 minutes because a lot of people just AFK so its unlikely to get to 30-40 minutes

My theory is that you carry through midlane till you hit high elo and then switch to support?

i disagree on mid lane, but only for control/poke mages, Xerath as an example, he cant walk out of tower range, otherwise hes dead by jgl, there are unplayable matchups like fizz, who can just R and then either Q AA W AA E or E Q AA W dive you with ignite and solokill every time u dont have flash, sometimes even barrier isnt enough, Xerath has no Vision control, which means jgl can gank u really easily, especially smth like zac, Vi, warwick..., ur only counterplay is staying under tower, Xerath is only good into mages with low kill thread, like Cassio, Viktor, Corki, who dont have jgl setup also Xerath cant build defensive like viktor, bcs he either can oneshot with full combo or not when getting run down, while viktor has dps So yea, climbing in soloQ with Xerath or similar is defenetely not easy, its mostly depending on the enemy jgl tbh, if he plays around u and is good at ganking, Xerath is fukced, every gank is dive kill, especially from champs without counterplay without mobility (again Vi, Zac, Warwick, Skarner...)

turn the freaking volum up

great video dude! Solid research and edits

playing support for my first season, the teams are so fucking bad in soloq. hlf of them have someone who start inting or leaves the game. there are people coming to ranked "oh im trying this champ for the first time". we literally got midlaner yesterday who started the game with "will ff at 15 as i will leave". as a supp who heals/roots you cant do shit, if the team doesnt follow through with the damage. support is easy when a team works together, in elo hell where everyone is just chaotic, it is very fucking difficult. i have adcs in lane dancing instead of taking farm or you know, paying attention to the fact that the enemy team is there. support is super reliant to the rest of the team.

good video you should make a "the easiest role to throw the game with in league of legends" that would be a nice watch

tyler 1 said supp is easiest and I agree as a supp player with him xd (and just compare numbers of games mid and supps usually have) and on mid, you can't really pick anything you like- you have to pick depending on your team and counter-picks from your opponent and you HAVE to have a huge pull of champions, cause there are scenarios when you have to much AP - gwen or akali top, brand/seraphine/anything ap supp, maybe your jg is Elise onetrick? or you have viegar/karthus bot, or another way around - lee/talon/xin jg, regular adc, pyke/panth/thresh/tanky supp that does ad damage or no damage at all, urgot/trynda top, and sometimes you have to pick something like ori even tho you KNOW.. you just KNOW that this lane will suck, but if you don't pick it: your team won't have any damage mid-late vs enemy top/jg and maybe even supp, and you KNOW that you will probably get dove by enemy Kayn or Lee, but you cant push for the same reason.. you coounter-picked, jg always have eyes on you, winning bot can easily roam mid, same with top, especially if their top decided that they want that particular dragon. If you sit back, your opponent WILL roam and WILL kill some1 cause they have lvl advantage and usually play high-burst champions, and sometimes you can't even stop them, cause their jg will freeze/push the lane for them, or they are waiting for you to follow them. And if you stuck there like this you just can't play the game. Mid is a weird place kinda like top, but more of a busy street where any1 can walk and fuck you up- bot, top, jg, supp, wave management, objective/scuttle prio, random ashe arrow, or ez ult, your supp or bot roaming, your jg taking taxes, enemy jg invading.. yes it's the shortest lane, but that means if you ARE behind you WILL be put behind super down bad (2lvls usually, in some bad cases 3 lvls and at this point there is no hope and you have to pray that your other laners are gods). Yes on the other hand you can get help and can get ahead, but it's totally harder than supp.. list is: Top, ADC, Jg, Mid, Supp from my point of view (I played jg, played mid, but I switched to supp cause I climb faster with it xd ..rn trying out adc and its kinda hell, most likely won't bring it to ranked) About you saying adc's "glass cannon".. ADCs are not really cannons, but Gatling-guns, that usually need a little bit of vined-up to start dishing out big numbers (like lethal tempo stuck up, pta procs etc). "Glass cannon"- is something that is made of "glass", but hits hard with everything they do and usually do damage per hit (dph) and in most games, league included, its mages- LB, Brand, Vel, Xerath. Take other games for example- overwatch, there are no mages, but there are champs like Hanzo or Widowmaker that play the role of "snipers" that can 1tap mostly any other character doing dph. And champs like Tracer, Soldier76, McCree (now Cole Cassidy, after blizz shit-show), that have guns too, but it's assault rifles, revolvers, and other high fire-rate weapons that they use during running around closer to the fight and do a lot of damage per second (dps). Same with MMO's- mages cast spells that do a lot of damage per-cast, while classes like marksmen/hunters/gunners/archers do dps. (even tho there are classes that are in-between like warlocks/summoners that do dps by stacking up spells that do damage-over-time or summon demons/minions to do dps, LOL have something like that in Heimer/Zyra/Malz I guess)

;D ngl gave me a good laugh! listen up pleb! for solo pisslow Q: 1. Jungle (global impact, highest skill scealing due to decisionmaking process, varity of paths, can take broad spectrum of functions (splitter, burst assasin, tank), controlling early pressure on map, controlling obj etc.), tracking enemy jungler, etc. 2. Mid depends on meta picks (assasin meta etc.), means frequent trades, high awareness of trading patterns, good understanding of wavemanipulation, due to meta high understanding of macro decissions (assasin meta, control mage meta etc. ), controlling scuttle fights with lane prio, able to invade and support jungler 3. Top high knowledge of wavemanagement!!!, knowledge of micro (1v1 ) lane "mostly" 4. Supp can roam, sets up vision playmaker in botlane (morg, alistar, leona, naut etc.) high dps or tankpicks, knowledge of cd timer and abilitys indepth of support role and adc. 5. Adc late game insurance, knowledge of cd timer and abilitys indepth of support role and adc everything above d2-d1 1. Jungle 2. Mid 3. Supp 4.Top 5. Adc

The support roaming timings are just so true Was Pyke with Draven into a Caitlyn and Morg and when I noticed that I couldn't get a good lead by conventional means, I just roamed as my ADC farmed safely under tower or we turbo pushed after pressuring Caitlyn a bit. Then my ADC could back or get a camp while I went mid to get our Talon a few kills against Sylas. I got 2 kills for Talon because the enemy jungler tried a counter gank, helped Talon push, went top and forced Sett to back Then went back for a dragon and vision with Draven and Amumu and we got a free drag because we had pressure mid and Caitlyn was behind, farming from safety. Everytime Morg left the lane, I pinged her MIA and we killed the Caitlyn or zoned her Then at the end of the game, Morg's all pissy like: "Report my mid and ADC, didn't do Jack shit and for wasting my time after spamming me". And I'm like; "Dude, you fucking suck as a support, what did you expect? For them to NOT ping you? An autistic person with dyslexia playing Osu has better timing than you do"

In the current season 13, I think the ranking is Sup>JG>mid>top>adc. Sup has the easiest fundamentals to learn and the mechanics to back it up. A good support can also make the jungler and adc/mid's job super easy.

btw you can e super far with zeri from fountain and get a consistently faster walk back to lane

Someone also mentioned roaming from bot as a method of obtaining a lead. Rather than get creative to solve the situation ppl just complain. There’s a reason why low elo players are the same low elo players for 10 seasons.

MId is the most camped lane in all of league, gets roamed on by top and sup and is heavily relied on their jungle to influence the game for them in a meaningful manner. Other wise it becomes a champ dif just like top lane.

raise the volume

"hWAAAHT?! I CANT HEAR YOU! ;P

I can't hear a single word.

top until you get around diamond then support is super braindead easy to climb

League asmr

Can I like a video several times? Great vid mate

I'm a jgl main so I mean disrespect here. Jgl should've been paced top because you have all the agency. In bot/sup you have to share xp and are reliant on each other, top is the most counter-pick role in the game, and mid is the only one I can see being over mid. Jgl however can carry the game through objs and helping laners and while the role is difficult it is easiest to climb imo

Every lane is practically vulnerable to dives, every day I get dove by a jungler with herald in top and mid gets visits from supports all the time, why is getting dove an adc exclusivity? Also how do adcs have no defence options?There is core:shieldbow, GA, Bloodthirster and situational:mercurial, wits end, d-dance,maw. Lastly at 3:30 you impied that adcs cant carry unless the game drags to 45 min, and I wonder if we even play the same game.Unless you mean that adcs cant 1v5 in a sidelane while smashing turrets in which case I will admit that most marksmen cannot do that since most of them are designed to thrive in teamfights, but we cant have it all can we?

has to be jungle right??

There seems to be a lot of people who confuse a roll beeing easy to play with a roll beeing easy to climb with. There is no doubt that Support is the easiest roll to play, mechanically. But it is fairly obvious aswell that playing the lowest damage, squishiest champions in the game, with less gold, xp and itemslots than other rolls, probably wont be the strongest way to climb. Also, winning botlane most of the time does not carry over to win the game, because getting the worst carry in the game (the ADC) fed, dosent really have much impact anyway. Top, on the other hand, might be much harder to play and win your lane, its the closest to a true 1v1 in the game and not everyone is cut out for that kind of competetive environment; but if you do win you are set to carry the entire game. And if you dont win your lane, dont expect to climb the ladder; carrying your own weight is a requirement for any discussion like this. In low ELO, wich are usually decided by some champion snowballing and 1v9ing, the strengths of the support just isnt as useful. Makro isnt as effective because team isnt coordinated. Vision isnt as effective because nobody knows how to use it efficiantly. Adding stats to a champion comparable to two extra items or so, is only effective if that player can carry; and as you say in the video; ADCs have the worst carrypotential in the game. In my experience this changes as you climb; at mid gold and above (EUW) , more often than not i feel that my team benefits from the above mentioned strengths of the support. So I would say that from low gold and below, TOP is the easier roll and ADC/SUP is the hardest. Around gold it starts to change, TOPs usually dont get to roll the entire team just because their champs are cancer, and the team start using the advantages a good support can bring. So from there on, sup actually gets easier, higher elo means its (relatively) easier to play sup than other rolls. Heres a few questions for you low ELO players: How many times have you seen a top snowball and carry the game 1 v 9? How many times have you seen a support snowball and carry the game 1v9? Be honest; Would you rather have a 10/2 Atrox, Jax, Morde, Fiora, Irellia whoever, or a 10/2 Zyra, Sona, Pyke or any sup of your choice in your team? If you where a high level player ranking up accounts to sell, what roll would you play? You wouldnt play support because its not an efficient way to climb. Snowballing from top though? For sure.

Adc would be hardest if duo wasnt a thing

Support

Disagree. Adc and support are in the same shit sandwich. Both are equally harder to climb compared to other roles

INCREASE YOOUUUURRR VOLLLUMMMMMMMMMMEEEEE

great video:)) thank you!!!

thank you king

is it me or it has no sound?

I know that adc is the hardest, yet i still love playing it and hope that I'm good enough

no audio..

I think JG is 2nd and Support is 3rd imo. Support can’t carry but jungle can more so.

ADC is not the hardest role. Yes, its mechanically demanding but in terms of macro, Top and Jungle are harder.

that discription of midlane😂😂

Your video neglected the immense problem with trying to climb as sup... you depend completely on your team. You glaze over this, but literally you cannot carry if your teammates are intent on doing bad. Every other lane has potential to "carry". Where is the hyper carry sup? Every other role has hyper carries that can get fed or play well independently if necessary. Support had nothing like that. Top lane can split push and farm till fed. same with with jungle or mid. I have stomped in bot with my adc only to meet unkillable Mid and top laners fed to record levels and still feel helpless. Despite helping my adc go 13/1/6 or something. Support depends largely on their adc/laner. I have had more adc's play like their screen is zoomed in than i can count, can't cs, can't manage waves, zero map awareness, and no objective assistance, yet supports get "free money" from that?? Like what10% of the nothing they earn?? Old mother hubbard ADC went to cupboard and saw that they can't secure a single last hit on champion or minion and the support doggy gets nothing. I have tried to be positive and help lanes behind and roam and ward and ward and ward but jg doesn't want to secure drakes, or ganks. Mid refuses to follower roams, and recalls on roam ganks. Top island farm simulator is full active. I haven't played rank much this season because it really feels hopeless to climb. Moral support and active assistance only boosts, it doesn't carry at lower elo. Maybe adc is as low as sup in difficulty to climb because often they are co-dependent in lane. A bad sup can cripple the lane too, not to mention bot being ignored by your team while you have been ganked 6 times before 15 min. Your video might be outlined correctly for high elo. However in lower lvls, supports can't carry 3v7 games, when 2 of your teammates decide to power feed for 10 mins then try to force early FF's and then afk when they don't get what they want.

You have to be insanely bad to not climb as a support. You have so many options and you dont have to worry about farming or pressuring waves, you have way more time than other roles to look at the map, and you have wards to avoid making mistakes or to prevent your teamates to do so, if your adc is bad you can permaroam all game and making your other lanes gain a lead, specially in Low Elo where everyone is affraid to dive a lonely adc so they can farm safely under turret.

This guy doesnt play jungle

This tierlist literally made 0 sense. Jungle and sup are the strongest lanes, jungle is the hardest, then top and adc. Support is by far the easiest. And midlane cant really be set into difficulty since it is such a versitile role to the point where the champion you play makes up almost 100% of the descision how hard your play is and not the role. For example take the difference between playing annie mid or katarina mid in high elo. The difference is legit night and die. And No im not a jungle main that role simply has the by far the hardest macro, but in regard the champions are mostly easy or medium.

Did you intentionally name your channel after an antidepressant?

Problem is you’re only talking about the RESULT of decisions made in the early game. If you play the first few levels like shit then OBVIOUSLY a competent draven Leona will build waves into you for dives. You only address the result and none of the cause. Pushed under tower all game? Maybe learn to thin out waves properly to keep it where you want it. I’m not disagreeing that ADC sucks in solo queue bc it certainly does. These kinds of videos just give lower agency roles even more ammunition to add to their complaining.

Its top, jgl, adc, mid, support. You clearly bias as adc main, support is the least punished role in the game. They can go mid and top with boots, and barely get punished. Also the facts, they dont have to concentrate on last hit and dps to the extent of the other roles. Even Tyler1 said it, after finishing all roles to Challenger. Had to dislike because of bias. Cool topic either way. Play mid, and try to get high elo in EU, KR, CN, NA. Do that again in support. Night and day difference. Mid is the easiest role to gank for a reason, also most coinflip role because its similar to jgl but with minions and enemy added. Since you are closesest to all roles, you need to be aware of invades and objectives. So no its not sunshine, its probably most macro-intensive role alongside jgl. Its better to carry with mid low elo, but higher elo P4+ support is much more easier and impactfull.

No unplayable matchups in mid? Neeko into Akali.... fight me.

I main mid I can't climb out of bronze after 2000 games I got into plat 1 in wild rift same role?

SPEAK LOUDER

"Botlane is dictared by support"-adc has full wave control and decides how the lane goes. The momentbi saw top 4th i hyst closed the video

wrong 5 Top lane 4 JG 3/2 ADC MID tbh i dont know whos better both roles are strong af, counter picks doesnt really matter here and champs for this role are the most broken ones 1 Sup You are bias if you think adc is the worst lane to climb, Adcs right now dont have any bad item, except maybe for canon, you power spikes come so quick you just really need one item and its really ez to get bc you are in the most contested lane and you play reactive not proactive so you dont need to make plays you just need to punish and bot lane is so hard to impact bc you are 3v2 its not that hard to outplay like 2v1 on mid or top, plus you have double vision chance, even if an adc is feed and you are better on teamfights you can out dps him just by placing yourself better

i was about to sleep ....how fking boring is this???

Lol

That's just all wrong. The whole discussion of " what's the EASIEST role to climb" doesn't make sense. To climb you don't have to 1v9 hard carrying games. You just have to play better that your opponent in the same role as yours. Literally which role you play doesn't matter. It only matters what is your best role at that point. Let's say you play ADC: Statistically if in 100 games you play better than the enemy ADC in 60 games, you will climb. The proportion is the same for every role you just have to play better than the opponent and statistically you will climb

10:24 if the adc has brain he can just back in that scenario

Why does everyone not play midlaner is the question. Too much pressure?

if mid is so easy why dont u just stop playing bot and get out of silver? :))

Adc being harder to climb than support? Wut, you can literally just afk farm and still win if you manage to scale. Meanwhile if you're support it's pointless if your entire team doesn't know they can cast abilities by pressing the keys on their keyboard. ...wait, WHAT, support second easiest to climb with? I mean if you're playing duo with the jungler I can understand that but duo is about to be removed anyway, and for solo supporting is just hell, it's pointless to play good if the only thing you're able to do is prevent your team from inting it higher. Unless of course you're playing swain or brand but at that point you're not a support you're a mage that has no farm

gotta dislike this for having to turn my speakers to max and still not hear a damn word. just no.

Supp is the hardest role to climb gold and below, jun for me is the most consinstent overall and the one that gives you the most amount of agency to the game, you are very dumb to reallt belive to Tyler
