How to CARRY BAD ADCS as Support - League of Legends

your adcs are going to be bad sometimes like excruciatingly bad many of you would probably argue that your 80 is bad almost every game and look that might be partially true however challenger supports have to hit challengers somehow even through all of the bad and when you're playing hundreds of games a season luck really isn't a factor when it comes to climbing just because the sample size is so large skill is always the main difference maker so how do they do it even when they get adcs like this they're literally just hinting the entire game away and you may not believe it but this isn't masters elo one really important thing to remember is that you will never stop getting people that run it down in your games so it's not like ranking up will fix that problem you just need to learn how to play around it in today's guide we're going to be showing you just how good supports make the best of a bad situation and carry through their terrible teammates regardless let's get right into it we'll look at the solo key game that we just watched some clips from and go over things that our challenger smurf achilles or nick was doing to mitigate how bad his ad actually was in the beginning they get off to a great start in bot lane they win the early push for level 2 and nick walks up at level 1 in order to set up the all in when the level 2 hits now they're clearly in a winning position having secured a kill and getting to crash the wave into the enemy's tower from here we have a good question though what should twitch and thresh do stay to hit plates look to go get vision and river reset or none of the above let's let nick answer that so i think right now ideally we would have reset resetting here makes a ton of sense because twitch just got gold from a kill and even though nautilus died he's actually going to come back with item advantage unless we reset and buy items ourselves nick wanted to recall but because twitch is going to stay he needs to change his own play and make a technically incorrect play to prevent his teammate from hinting staying to hit the plate here is a really big tempo killer and can give your opponents a great chance back into the game so it's the first real int that twitch made unfortunately he tries to hit tower plates and recall while doing both just isn't possible because the enemies will have a chance to shove the wave and deny you farm the recall timer just isn't good and he should stay to push another wave i'm going to stay just in case they push it we'll see so when your 80 inch like this you shouldn't just throw your hands up and say screw it we need to problem solve nick already stayed to fix one mistake and actually makes a brilliant play afterwards to fix another while this whole sequence was and is technically incorrect you have to work with what you have he decided to stay and delay his own recall even more the idea being that if the enemies started to hard push the wave he'd be able to use his body to just stop the wave and keep twitch from missing all of the cs okay it looks like they're not pushing it so i'm going to reset and get some boots here because with nautilus relic shield stacks and avilios they can actually push this wave to torque to turret in time and since it's not a canon wave we'll miss all the xp but since they didn't crash it right away as soon as twitch reset um it's just going to build up and be a big wave for us to eat fortunately the enemies didn't realize that they had the capabilities to crash and he didn't need to stay but he was ready to stop twitch from ending the whole game away speaking of which this positioning is insane yes lee sin is in river potentially able to come but what if he just wanted to invade or just doesn't see it it's not really a bait on twitch's part without knowing lee's intent it's just running it down a lot of threshes might be tempted to just play for lantern and back up but nick wants to follow one very important concept which is to trade back damage instead of just losing health for free by running out of filios here he's able to pressure him off even if lee didn't come this would allow twitch to back up and survive while simultaneously doing some damage back to set up for potentially future plays fortunately lee does come and they clean up kill but this play would allow for a better outcome regardless of what his teammates did here after he knows the twitch should probably base so he starts hoping to push the wave to get it to crash and set up for a recall timer for him once the wave is ready to crash lee sin goes over the wall and sets up for a dive he hits a really great flash hook to punish affiliates for using his sums earlier and now can look to help lee invade twitch literally runs it down to tower off screen here so now our protagonist has to once again make some adaptations to accommodate his terrible teammate this is a pretty hard question so don't worry if you get it wrong but is there anything you can think to do here that would cover up twitch's terrible play purposely freezing the next incoming wave is a really great idea because the current wave is already basically dead and ours crashes to their tower this will let us get the best of both worlds collecting gold that twitch won't be getting and also still giving us a wave that is slow pushing back to us which will set twitch up to receive more farm than he should here due to his extra-long artificially extended recall unfortunately even though nick puts in all of the effort to stop twitch from ending he still finds plenty of ways to just throw the lead that he was given time after time he just somehow finds a way to troll an extremely easy to play situation okay twitch could have just kept running and he's also trolling like the wave is coming into him here there's no reason for him to walk up and get hooked there well you really want to find ways to just straight up prevent your team from hinting like we showed earlier sometimes it's just not going to happen and that's where you need to adapt once again and like i said now though our item advance our item advantage is actually like gone and we lose the 2v2 so now my best option is inside mobis is to just rotate around the map what i can do is i can go mid bait nautilus mid and then run bot and since affiliates has no cleanse i can easily just run at him and flay him they end up dying to an evelyn gank that comes bottom but just like nick just said we really don't trust the twitch anyways and we don't win the 2v2 anymore so now it's time to ditch the lane and look for greener pastures he holds his ult and summoners and just dies so he can use those tools later a lot of players would go back bottom here since there is a wave crashing into tower but twitch has demonstrated plenty of times that he's not capable of participating in this game in a meaningful way so we need to sink our time into people that will while he's headed towards mid casio gets solo killed and again we need to adapt the only lanes you can really even play off at this point are top in jungle so with both of them being top side that is the only idea that makes any sense at all roaming here is actually really important even though you may not really have to participate in the fight to get this kill if the enemy jungler or anyone else were to show up having more numbers than necessary will guarantee the play and because this is literally the only productive thing on the map to do right now we need to make sure it works almost with comedic timing twitch dies again bottom it's not really important since we expected at this point but it does make it even more apparent how much he's really hinting off of the recall again we can't do anything bottom so it's just about looking at where proactive plays can be made and making sure we run towards that going made here to potentially pivot into top makes a lot of sense while he doesn't quite get mid in time to actually participate in the fight he is able to do other things that can influence his other lanes like fixing their waves for them just making sure that the mid wave crashes will help his mid laner out by setting up the slow push to come back and while we do want to avoid playing around our 80 at this point that doesn't mean that we can just completely leave him out to dry as we get back bottom notice the wave state with more minions in being on our side of the map this slave will always push out to the other side in this kind of lane state twitch actually can't do anything he has to overextend in order to play the game and this is a spot where you really need to be bottomed to help since he has to push it's one thing for him to be making mistakes and hinting but we still need to do our job and at least make it playable whether or not he does the correct thing once it's playable really isn't something we can control but we can at least set up the alley-oop and if he doesn't dunk then it is what it is almost immediately though he's looking to just leave the lane although after being spotted on a ward it makes roaming nigh impossible and he just has to go back even though he's playing super far back and checking all the bushes eve is just sitting here and praying on the losing way so unfortunately they die again out of base though where would you go mid should have been a freebie here again we just want to look at who we can play around and all other three members of the team are on top side going mid would let us connect with their play or just hold the wave of the tower so it gives us options even when there aren't realms that will result in kills things like this can be super valuable not only do we get xp that we normally wouldn't get but we also get timers to ward in areas that will benefit the people on our team that actually matter like our winning top and jungle in addition we do little things like lanterning over walls to just speed up their plays and get them to new things faster without thresh being here cassio wouldn't be mid in order to hold the wave and resecure lane priority again we really need to make use of proactive plays and without mid push it would be really hard to do anything so that one lantern actually makes a huge difference and sets up for a lot of potential plays like what's about to happen because fizz is being forced to go back to catch the mid wave they can look to invade heavily in the enemy jungle and take away the blue even in a game where his 80 is completely useless he is still finding ways to do things and that's the most valuable takeaway he doesn't value getting the xp by just running bottom and sitting with twitch he's trying to make his other teammates actually win and play off of them by taking the mid tower and getting more control of the map it sets up for future team fights where twitch really isn't even needed now since he invested so much into helping his teammates they're finally able to pay him back and deliver a teamfight win and put the game back in his control entirely through this game we saw multiple techniques being used in order to help shore up his less than great adc from trying to prevent the ins altogether clever decision-making and wave manipulation to help make them less bad to just completely giving up on his 80 altogether in full roaming it was almost a gradual descent into more and more drastic measures but he knew when to take them and ultimately was rewarded learning how to think on your toes and trying to make the best of a bad situation
