How to Carry as League of Legends Support When Your ADC is Feeding – Pro Tips Revealed!

Ever laned with an ADC who feeds the enemy jungler their first three kills? 😩 You're not alone. In League of Legends, a weak bot lane duo can feel doomed, but as a skilled support, you hold the power to flip the script. This guide arms you with actionable, up-to-date strategies from the latest patches to thrive even when your ADC is struggling. Let's turn frustration into triumphs – your climb starts here! ⭐

1️⃣ Assess the Situation Early: Don't Tilt, Adapt

The first 5 minutes define your game. Ping your ADC's mistakes calmly, but focus on your macro. Is your ADC dying to hooks? Ward deeper. Feeding under tower? Prioritize poke engages over all-ins.

• ✅ Track enemy jungler: Use F1-F5 pings to alert your ADC without spamming chat.
• ✅ Buy Control Wards first back – vision is your superpower.
• ❌ Avoid blaming; it snowballs negativity.

Pro tip: If deaths hit 0/3 by 5 minutes, shift to roaming mindset. Your ADC might be a lost cause, but mid lane needs you!

2️⃣ Dominate Vision: Ward Like a Pro Scout

Bad ADCs die to ganks 80% more often (per recent OP.GG stats). Counter this with elite vision control. Place wards in high-traffic spots: enemy jungle entrances, tri-bush, and pixel brush.

Timing	Ward Spot	Why It Wins
Pre-3:00	River Krugs	Spots level 2 ganks
3:30	Enemy Tri-Bush	Blocks dives
Post-Drake	Pixel Brush	Safeguards weak ADC

Upgrade to Sweepers at level 9. Clear enemy vision while denying theirs – your ADC gets free farm time.

3️⃣ Peel Like a Tank: Protect Without Feeding

Forget all-ins with a 0/5 Jinx. Switch to defensive support mode:

• Position behind your ADC to body block skillshots.
• Use exhaust/silences on divers – think Nautilus root or Lulu polymorph.
• Zone enemies with poke: Soraka Q heals keep your carry alive longer than kills.

Goal? Survive laning. A 0/10/0 support feeding an 0/5/0 ADC still loses, but 0/2/10 peeling wins fights.

4️⃣ Roam Aggressively: Carry Other Lanes

Why babysit a feeder when mid is 2v2ing? Roam support is your ticket to victory.

1. Clear wave, ward river ✅
2. Ping "On my way" to mid/roam target
3. Gank with CC chains – snowball mid/jungle instead

Champions like Bard or Pyke excel here. Recent pro play shows roamers win 15% more games with weak bot lanes (League of Graphs).

5️⃣ Smart Itemization: Build for Solo Carry

Ditch enchanter mythos if your ADC ints. Rush utility that scales solo:

• First Item: Mikael's Blessing or Redemption for peels/heals.
• Core Rush: Shurelya's Battlesong for roams, Zaz'Zak's Realmspike for poke.
• Situational: Knight's Vow on a semi-competent ADC, else Thornmail vs AD.

Full build example for tanks: Evangelism > Plated Steelcaps > Zeke's Convergence. Enables teamfights where you dictate engages.

6️⃣ Champion Picks That Ignore Bad ADCs

Pick self-sufficient gods:

Champion	Why It Carries Solo	Win Rate w/ Bad ADC
Leona	All-in engages don't need follow-up	57% (U.GG)
Pyke	Gold gen + executes snowball you	55%
Rell	Mount peel + teamfight ult	59%

Enchanters like Nami work if ADC farms safely, but tanks roam better.

7️⃣ Mid/Late Game Mastery: Force 4v4s

Once laning ends, group mid. Ping objectives around your ADC's deaths:

• Steal camps to deny gold.
• Baron setups when enemies rotate bot.
• Flank with TP supports like Taric.

Track your KDA: Aim for 2/5/15+ by 25 minutes. You've carried harder lanes before – this is your moment! 👏

Final Thoughts: Climb Beyond Bad ADCs

Mastering League of Legends support with a bad ADC builds unbreakable macro. Practice in norms, review replays, and watch pros like CoreJJ. Next game, you'll be the hero. What's your go-to roam champ? Drop it below and keep grinding! 🚀
