Thank you Skillcapped. I must admit I haven't watched any videos related to your content in a very long time, but you helped me a lot when I just started climbing a few years back. This week I made it to Diamond and I like to believe that you massively contributed to that. Thank you very much.
Skillcapped: Don't suffer from dragonitis! Soul isn't losing you games! Also SC: If the enemy team gets soul it's OVER I’m just pokin some fun you guys are great 🥺
@@Okami400 I don’t think it’s that deep tbh. Very situational game with hundreds of variables I was just poking some fun. I learn a lot from these I think
Looking at your videos i went from iron 2 up to bronce 1. I were playing this game for 1 year, but i couldn´t improve and after your videos i could climb some divisions
nice, if u honestly love the game and get a ton of dopamine when ranking up, thats the way to enjoy the game. But just keep in mind its not always linear and the higher u climb, the harder it is to enjoy
i love videos with Hector and do not doubt he can reach Masters+ with ADC Role, but looking at the account he played this match he has only 5 of 87 ranked games as adc out of all, i'd love to see how he climb with only adc role instead of midlane account ;)
This isn't what bad teammates look like. Carrying while mid, top, jung and supp are 0/15 or no one wants to protect a single tower is what I need to see, that's a match I see every day.
You don't have to carry that game dude. If u play 10 games a day and 1 of them is like that and u lose only that one you stand on a 90% w/r. Challengers reach diamond with 70% w/r. The rule 40 30 30 is really solid. 30% of the games you will win whatever you do (hence almost literally no one has a sub 30% w/r after a set amount of games). 30% you will lose no matter what and 40% are the games are up to you. its like tennis, if u win 51% of the points in one year and one year before you won 49% there is a very huge jumping point to your career (the numbers are a bit different in the outcome since tennis is played with games and sets but I hope you get the point). If you can carry a game where top jg and mid lost their lane (not necessarily got stomped) you will climb. otherwise no one would ever climb and we would all be gold
@@King1Z7 thats statistically improbable.... Everything around you in your game is the same thing: people from your rank. Silver vs Silver top. If they play 100 games the w/r will be very close to 50 cause there is a reason they are at the same rank. They only variable which is the exact same in everygame is the one you can change also: YOU. If you blame it on others you will not climb. The idea is: blame yourself. Blame yourself everygame. Blame the variable that can change. "A challenger player would have won this" which means if U made something better you wouldve won. If u blame someone else, nothing will change cause u won't play with him next game so why lose your energy and focus on them. Ofc on paper its easy but there are these days which of course is understandable to tilt cause u were unlucky one whole day
@@nikolaspanayiotou7023 I had 2000 ranked games last season and have 1000 ranked games this season as an adc main. Been sitting Iron 1 - Bronze 3 while my teammates do everything in their power to keep me from pulling off the 1v9 every match. I have lived behind what YOU said just said for years.
@@XIII-TheBlackCatLink profile, I bet we can find the issue. Probably a mixture of low CS, bad map awareness, solo deaths, bad objective priority… you gotta look at it simply and tackle one of those things at a time
@7:24 Hector deliberately doesn't flash after J4's E-Q and waits for ult. I'm thinking 'wow that's some real control. I would have panicked for sure after the E-Q and died there. This is why Hector is challenger'. @10:36 Hector screws up and flashes after J4's E-Q and has no way of escaping ult. Lol.
Thats a really good timing for a really good Guide. I am playing in diamond elo and lost 3 games today due to my teams mental stability and capabilities. So thank you the video was really educational. Perhaps if i´ve seen it earlier i could have won 1 or 2 games :)
Going midlane isnt an option when your whole team is there. Low elo teammates just do whatever they want. I believe the only option to escape it is playing a self sufficient champion, which by definition excludes ADCs on most situations.
When your entire team is mid, you collect whatever you can without being too far from the fight, and you look to make a play during the ensuing fight. Your team is fighting, and you are the adc, the role that carries fights. Yes, you will be down a little in gold for the play, but if you fight the play well, your team takes control and then you can utilize the time gained to farm camps/waves
I just wanted to add for later viewers that they keep mentioning 5min for dragon but the examples in the video use 10min. I believe this confusion was caused by the dragon in the video being the 3rd dragon. If they waited to contest that dragon, then you would have the gold outcome listed in the video meaning that contesting the 3rd dragon could theoretically be a fight where the enemy team has 32% more gold. If they give 3rd dragon, and then contest soul, they would have to contest when the enemy team has 23.5% more gold. By prioritizing the 3rd dragon, they can give the next dragon and then contest soul, which would be 10min later. At 10min later, the enemy team would have 18.6% more gold. This is all rough, but it at least drives home the idea that there was an opportunity in the game to prioritize dragon buying the whole team 10min. That 10min is significant towards closing the difference in power between the two teams.
This has helped me, I mostly play MF and do things like this, but some days ago my friends got mad at me thinking i was trolling cuz I wasn't playing as I used to do so there was no synchrony and they kept picking bad fights with the thought I would follow them, even when I didn't have my ult and my engage support didn't have his in a fatal funnel
Those are not bad players. My team members usually go solo one 1v5 with no reason than die. Don't follow you at all. He gets the respect of his team. Doesn't matter how fed you are a fed assassin can solo you any time in the game. Maybe you can go safety using flash ones, but what you will do if they have two assassins who only focuses in you the whole game?
I been following skillcapped for a long time now, I consistently stomp my games now. The ones I lose are the games where my team decides they don’t want to win and 4-1 Ff me or just run it down so hard I can’t 1v5. I’m an adc main so maybe that’s why I only have a 57% wr :/. Trying to carry on adc is pretty painful because sometimes even if you get super fed are insane but then they have a Vi, Nocturne, or Nautilus. Unless your name is sivir you’re fked
The high winrate after Soul is not only from the Soul. A Team that secures the Soul is mostly ahead anyway and would have had a higher Chance of winning, even without Soul.
hey skillcapped, i have a video idea for you: coaching a bronze player until they reach diamond, find a bronze player with the drive, and make it into a series, it'd be super cool
but what if botlane doesnt move midlane, only support rotates. You might think the lonely adc on botlane should be tower-dived, but how do you do that when you don't know where the enemy jungle is and there is still a weakside on your team, either on mid or bot (depending on the rotation). According to the scenario, a play with both junglers involved has an advantage for the enemy team, so there is only pure luck that can get your team from not falling deeper and deeper, except the teammates know how to weakside correctly.
7:24 doesn't work, 90% of my teams would let the enemy kill me and either use their skills after I die or let the enemy just walk away for no reason (90% is an understatement)
Farm your ass off and don't die. I'd also personally buy a sweeper so the enemy can't catch you out while rotating as no one else in low elo ever buys one.
It's a mid-high elo video, it's not that the midlaner gave up the lane, but moreso that he was just following his scripts and going through the motions.
@@scottgill2643 Midlaner going to side lane and letting ADC farm is not following scripts and going through motions. It shows understanding of basic macro and more importantly, the intent of winning that game. I don't think you understand how much easier that game becomes for MF just from that simple correct macro play.
Sideline for Kassadin is a what are you talking about? They are talking about MAJORITY of games. Which is what you should aim to win. Not all. In the majority of games, summoners will choose what helps them (in this case it helps kassa to go bot) and if u are mid to high elo they will choose what helps the team win 70% of the time.
@@nikolaspanayiotou7023 They are not talking about MAJORITY of the games. Did you even watch the video? The video is very clearly about this one specific game and how to carry it. I don't even know how you could argue otherwise.
@@bambuco2 If this were lower elo (Silver/Gold), you'd have a point. This isn't lower elo. The outplay crowd (Platinum/Diamond) might also be in that world, but this is Master's. This is exactly what going through the motions looks like for people at higher elos.
@@rare3333 It's not completely useless, it's showing how to carry when your teams is behind. But yes I agree, teammates weren't bad, they just lost early game.
the problem is that in gold/plat once solo lanes start inting hard and enemy team is now its hard to do anything becouse its 2v5, you just move on and try ur best hoping sololanes wont int as hard. Especially now matchmaking sucks, items are broken like ghostblade, smurfing is rampant, DUoQ is still in the game.
I’m a silver adc…yeah i’m trash and im trying to get better at the game, usually i’m able to carry my games and i’m climbing kinda fast but what makes me extra tilted are griefer, i mean if we re bad at the game we can still manage to find a solution but i don’t understand why support for example start to grief my game after the first negative thing that happens
So what about immobile champions like kog'mog and such? Im only askimg from a perspective since not all adc are mobile like lucian and MF. I play TF adc alot and he isnt mobile in combat. So my point is that as an adc its dependent on the adc you use, cause not all of them can just bait them out
Thank God you finally speak about the importance of dragons. i have cursed your videos after minimalizing the power of drake buffs because every low rank idiot will think they can just give every permanent buff to the oponent team as a result
They talked about souls and delaying that fight. Drakes are worthless execpt for souls and ancestral. That doesnt change. Its basically a race... Who is gonna get soul first. Idc about 5% more dmg or idk what else if the adc position like an ape. That buff will do Sht
@@JohanLucain 3 stacks of move speed/slow resistence or a massive ability haste does matter indeed. If we assume that the 2 teams are about equal in skill, permanent buffs play EVERY single time.
Of course the dragon buffs are benefitial, they are positive increases to certain stats. They are not worth the time they take to kill especially early game. When I'm a lvl 5 jungler it takes a lot of time to get dragon, from me and some of my teammates that go help. Much rather use that time to get camps that give the same exp for much less time commitment. Or get ganks off for much more gold and pressure.
it's not about the reward. it's about the risk. bronzies try to contest drags that they have no business contesting. Your options are often: A) walk away and lose drag; B) die and lose drag anyway. probability of success is way more important to log(EV) than payoff.
@@Pyrrha_Nikos I don't agree. The 5 min mark is in my experience usually a good time to potentially get kills in the botlane, getting prio and taking a 3 man drake with tempo.
It is a really high elo concept. If you watch KR/CN ADC soloq POV's, you will notice that's all they do. They bait opponents and then turn the fight around. It's a really hard concept to get good at because it breaks the rules. You don't really need to use it unless you are diamond or higher.
There are bad team mates and then there are people like the Illaoi I had, she went mid, didn't listen to a single ping, didn't follow up on anything, glued to her lane while we are trying to contest dragon, What the hell can I even do at that point, doesn't even move to take free kills that run past her in lane.. Like straight up trolling but idk, dude seemed high on glue or something. What do I do in those scenarios?
>Smurfing with miss fortune So, play a champion I really don't like playing. Got it. Jokes asside. My problem is that I'm ALSO behind along WITH my team. So the push power Hector had with MF? Doesn't apply to me when the enemy adc is ahead of me.
I swear Vladimir is the most unfair and bs champion in Late game, you can buy anti-heal and a large amount of MR but he can just come from the pool and one shot anyone while still healing to full health
Thats great and all but how do you even GET to that level at all. I've given up on ADC in low elo it's impossible. Not even gonna que adc again until plat.
one thing about low elo games is that it is actually filled with a mixed range of elo players to be high elo (like diamond and above) you have to at least play a reasonable amount of games to be there (a bit of grinding), if you are there with just a few games, your actual elo is probably even higher. but for low elo, you can be there because 1. you didnt play a lot of ranked games 2. you actually belong there so if your low elo teammate fed some actually higher elo players, there is just no way you can carry the game as adc, adc champions simply cannot carry games with bad teammates while enemy team has good players.
You missed the point of this video. By pressuring mid and rotating in a right time to a right place you take your teammates' mistakes and turn them into advantageous or neutral situations.
Side lanes might concede... since when? 0-49might as well try and take not tower! Oh there’s 1 here , I can win the 1v1 even tho I’ve died 40 times to them to same way every time
i just clicked on this video to say screw adcs they r useless unless u spoon fed em i used to love playin support for that very reason so i can spoon fed but eventually i realized adcs at my elo (bronze) r just a flip of a coin so i said screw bot lane and started learnin to play other roles so now im a mid/top lane main and i do think ive gotten way better since u dont have someone else there to help u scale its purely down to u being able to beat ur opponent and i much prefer that over bot lane cuz we all know bot lane is completely useless in low elo just free kills down there ur 2/5/2 after lanin and u see a fed adc bot alone? u better head yo ass down there and pick up some ez kills
You basically said "Get fed and carry" but what if the enemy team is not as stupid as this one and doesn't feed you? Like, you clearly show how bad are players in NA servers.
Nah, doesnt work. Pure lie and speculations. 90% of times in low elo you get crybabies on mid/top who start whine and inting after you as aadc come to any of this lanes after taking tower.
I mean it’s good and all, but my nonstop issue is having the enemy mid with a level 34 account going 15-0 in the first 5 mins of the game. Literally get smurfs every game. It ruins the rank grind entirely and ends up being who has the better smurf.
bro that mf had no flash right before he tholught of this plus if the jarvan had flash ur dead 100% making it an int play i think he fked up and u guys making it look like wow good play he has no mobility as mf whatsoever! no ghost no gale no dash just a flash and he already below 30% hp nice joke, curtains.
Wait… but you’re always saying how dragon throws games and it hardly decides wins and losses in solo queue. You even have a video on “dragon sickness.” Now you’re saying it’s unlikely we’ll win if the enemy gets it? There’s gotta be some nuance, right?
The thing is, when climbing as ADC, you have to play twice as many games as any other role. It's arguably easier to climb on roles like support, jungle, etc. Not ADC. You're way too reliant on your teammates being humans to climb as ADC.
Absolutely not true. ADC has advantages and disadvantages like any other role. What you need to understand is the fact that you only need to play better than other ADCs to climb.
This is soooo not true, adc like mid, top or jg can carry. A healer or tank support on the other hand, is way harder or near impossible if your entire team are feeding.

it's not about the reward. it's about the risk. bronzies try to contest drags that they have no business contesting. Your options are often: A) walk away and lose drag; B) die and lose drag anyway. probability of success is way more important to log(EV) than payoff.
@@Pyrrha_Nikos I don't agree. The 5 min mark is in my experience usually a good time to potentially get kills in the botlane, getting prio and taking a 3 man drake with tempo.
starting 7/2 as mf.... yeah well done! carried!
I never really consider baiting myself as an adc seems kinda crazy tbh unless you have an enchanter support but noted~
That's because it IS crazy. But when it falls to the ADC to salvage the game for their team, crazy is the least of your concerns.
It is a really high elo concept. If you watch KR/CN ADC soloq POV's, you will notice that's all they do. They bait opponents and then turn the fight around. It's a really hard concept to get good at because it breaks the rules. You don't really need to use it unless you are diamond or higher.
@@KosstAmojan True ill give it a shot
@@LuckyGnom Wouldn't it work in low elo as hell because they are more likely to bite the bait?
There are bad team mates and then there are people like the Illaoi I had, she went mid, didn't listen to a single ping, didn't follow up on anything, glued to her lane while we are trying to contest dragon, What the hell can I even do at that point, doesn't even move to take free kills that run past her in lane.. Like straight up trolling but idk, dude seemed high on glue or something. What do I do in those scenarios?
13:36 recap
Impressive... It would be impressive if Annerunin wouldn't play on Oceania Server.
On Skill Capped, Ezreal plays you.
uhh using pre 13.10 footage? bt and kraken? milo with moonstone? what the heck
>Smurfing with miss fortune
So, play a champion I really don't like playing. Got it. Jokes asside. My problem is that I'm ALSO behind along WITH my team. So the push power Hector had with MF? Doesn't apply to me when the enemy adc is ahead of me.
I swear Vladimir is the most unfair and bs champion in Late game, you can buy anti-heal and a large amount of MR but he can just come from the pool and one shot anyone while still healing to full health
Very bold title, carry wasn’t enough for you, you had to put hard carry lol
Watching this as the bad teammate 😂 (I’ve been playing for a week.)
Forgot to mention Hector is duo with his Jungler?
Thats great and all but how do you even GET to that level at all. I've given up on ADC in low elo it's impossible. Not even gonna que adc again until plat.
The tips are great but if your team doesn't understand half of this, it's still gg.... (my experience)
So basically hold everyone hostage and play for K/D
if he was yone smurfing in diamond while being a challenger he would have carried this 1v9 in 20 minutes
what if you were a samira that absolutely cannot jump into a fed vladimir and jarvan to get bounties like that
Unlucky then
yk what's even worse? when entire team is good EXCEPT the adc
The guide just for me
only possible in higher elo, in lower elo they just continue to make even worse mistakes throughout the whole game and are incapable of being carried
one thing about low elo games is that it is actually filled with a mixed range of elo players
to be high elo (like diamond and above) you have to at least play a reasonable amount of games to be there (a bit of grinding), if you are there with just a few games, your actual elo is probably even higher.
but for low elo, you can be there because 1. you didnt play a lot of ranked games 2. you actually belong there
so if your low elo teammate fed some actually higher elo players, there is just no way you can carry the game as adc, adc champions simply cannot carry games with bad teammates while enemy team has good players.
You missed the point of this video. By pressuring mid and rotating in a right time to a right place you take your teammates' mistakes and turn them into advantageous or neutral situations.
Side lanes might concede... since when? 0-49might as well try and take not tower! Oh there’s 1 here , I can win the 1v1 even tho I’ve died 40 times to them to same way every time
Sadly 83 dollars in one shot is a bit rich for my blood. And 20 dollars could buy me a nice skin.
bro, this aint that bad team tbh at least they are playing, he still ain't playing 1v9.. ikr he carried the game but still he had a team
Forgot to say that this game was played in Oceania? so yes techincally this diamond players looks bronze for this reason
skillcapped 2023 "have the enemy engage on you to carry" yeah sure cuz the enemy doesnt one shot me with their engage. you are promoting inting
bring hector to sea server, lets see if he can reach challenger
this isnt realistic if my top lane nasus is building support and attack speed and jungle is afk farming cause he couldn't get grubs
Key point: Edge your opponent
it would be way more convincing if it wasn't a challenger player smurfing
Yeah...try moving to mid as adc in low elo see how that goes for flame/afk
First thing is: it’s not your team it’s you
Why did he max w first tho?
i just clicked on this video to say screw adcs they r useless unless u spoon fed em i used to love playin support for that very reason so i can spoon fed but eventually i realized adcs at my elo (bronze) r just a flip of a coin so i said screw bot lane and started learnin to play other roles so now im a mid/top lane main and i do think ive gotten way better since u dont have someone else there to help u scale its purely down to u being able to beat ur opponent and i much prefer that over bot lane cuz we all know bot lane is completely useless in low elo just free kills down there ur 2/5/2 after lanin and u see a fed adc bot alone? u better head yo ass down there and pick up some ez kills
You basically said "Get fed and carry" but what if the enemy team is not as stupid as this one and doesn't feed you? Like, you clearly show how bad are players in NA servers.
How to carry Bad teammates as ADC ? You role swap support.
Some teammates are uncarriable
clickbait imo 1. smurfing 2. there are way worse players
Is this the current patch? I see mf went kraken slayer, BT instead of the lethality rush.
shen vlad lulu all have anti-burst mechanics. kraken doesn't seem bad to me.
No, it's not 13.10
Nah, doesnt work. Pure lie and speculations.
90% of times in low elo you get crybabies on mid/top who start whine and inting after you as aadc come to any of this lanes after taking tower.
I mean it’s good and all, but my nonstop issue is having the enemy mid with a level 34 account going 15-0 in the first 5 mins of the game. Literally get smurfs every game. It ruins the rank grind entirely and ends up being who has the better smurf.
Mid laners in low elo just want to aram
Team got inspired by Hector and throw their lives away..gold elo life..😂
How to carry as an adc? Easy swap to mid jungle or top and have actual relevance in the game.
bro that mf had no flash right before he tholught of this plus if the jarvan had flash ur dead 100% making it an int play
i think he fked up and u guys making it look like wow good play
he has no mobility as mf whatsoever! no ghost no gale no dash
just a flash and he already below 30% hp
nice joke, curtains.
Wait… but you’re always saying how dragon throws games and it hardly decides wins and losses in solo queue. You even have a video on “dragon sickness.” Now you’re saying it’s unlikely we’ll win if the enemy gets it? There’s gotta be some nuance, right?
Now show it in gold/plat
The thing is, when climbing as ADC, you have to play twice as many games as any other role. It's arguably easier to climb on roles like support, jungle, etc. Not ADC.
You're way too reliant on your teammates being humans to climb as ADC.
Absolutely not true. ADC has advantages and disadvantages like any other role.
What you need to understand is the fact that you only need to play better than other ADCs to climb.
This is soooo not true, adc like mid, top or jg can carry. A healer or tank support on the other hand, is way harder or near impossible if your entire team are feeding.
step 1 pick mf step 2 be challanger
