Position in teamfights

Asked by freakydomi21 on March 16, 2015

Helly everyone :)

yesterday I played as fed jinx (I was like 13/2)

The enemy team had panth top, mumu jungle, veigar mid, varus and bard bot.
We had trundle, nunu, wukuong, jinx (me) and blitzcrank.

We horribly lost the teamfights.
Blitzcrank, Wukong and trundle were tanky and just jumped on veigar or on varus, while i was pretty alone.
Jinx isnt very mobile, so panth and mumu could easily jumped on me.
My question is: Isnt it better when blitzcrank and/or trundle, wukong are protecting the adc ?

I have to say, I am not that bad as adc, but my positioning in teamfights sometimes sucks...

(Sorry for bad english, it isnt my mother tongue.)

If you can't do anything in a team fight, damage items are useless so I think you should've prioritized defensive items like QSS to get rid of the CC. You should also never really be in range of stun with a long ranged adc because the W is so short ranged.

General advice is that you just have to wait until for the major CC threats to be gone, within a reasonable range that you can still re-engage. A good example is that if someone like misses his , you can play more aggressive again because it's not going to be up for a while. If it's up, you just have to play around the bandage toss' range.

You should also learn how to kite.

I had QSS that match :)
I will try to keep that in mind next teamfight :)

It can be hard for to defend since his abilities are only disruptive if he remains among the enemy, could have helped you with a silence and knock up but that wouldn't have been enough to protect you from the . would have had great peel potential for you as his slows and movement speed increase would give you everything you needed to survive, but even with these slows you are still vulnerable to targeted stuns (primarily from ), s crowd control would be good for keeping & at bay from you but he needs to stay on the enemy to really be effective.

This all being taken into consideration your team had great crowd control but a lack of any direct heals/or/shields to keep you safe. Ideally would go on their whilst ulting their , would stick close to you with slows on nearby approaching foes and movement speed for you, would -attempt- to grap the enemy / to cripple their damage whilst maintaining a safe distance from (to avoid Q>ult, would go all in on their team trying to catch in his ult to prevent the AoE stun, and finally would stay between the and their with your team locking down their party members that attempt to go for you.

Please note however that the problem could have been in the itemization of your allies or support (Mikaels would have worked wonders against their team).

well,
It didnt worked that match, but we will try to get better teamcomps and I will try to position myself better...
Thank you !

Without repeating what Joxuu and Hopesedge already said, allow me to bring further informations.

First, consider this: you can't correct others mistakes. If your support decide to leave you alone, deal with it. The first thing you have to realise to get better, is that you can't trade or change your teamates. Instead, try to question yourself on what you could have personally modify during that game to have a better performance.

is very similar to , she highly rely on her teamates to cover her during fights. If you doubt that your teamates will protect you during the champ select, your first option could be to lock another marksman. , , could have been better picks in the context you are describing.

From another perspective, maybe your items didn't help you either. Qss, is a good item versus heavy cc, but maybe others could have also helped you better. , , etc ...

You could also take a look at the focus you had. Alot of marksmen tend to select an enemy and go for it. But doing that regardless of the enemies movement can lead you into dangerous foes such as . The most effective stance is the one that allow you to hit the nearest enemy and stay out of the range of high threats.

Also, you didn't mention where the teamfights occured. Fighting in an open plain or underneath a turret is completly different.

The next time you play a match in these conditions, try to figure what were your worst decisions.

Lastly, don't be afraid to write what is your mother tongue. (I could have answered in french or spanish).

Have a nice day ^^

Well my mother tongue is german :)
I think I had qss that match, but I cant remember anymore :D
I know, I am working on my position and on my decision making.
I am the shotcaller when we play teamrankeds and I am doing pretty well (In my opinion xD)

I always try to hit the nearest enemy, but in teamfights it isnt that easy to be always in the right position.
But I love the ADC role so much, I will keep practicing and make my promo with my DuoQ Support :>

Thank you :)
I will try to remember in the next fight xD
