which support is atm really good for an adc?

Depends on a couple of things like which elo (are the games over quickly and do people have good enough mechanics to land skillshots) and are u playing a late game adc that needs protection or do u want to snowball early and get fed through lane.

Overall i would say thresh and bard are the best atm in high elo. But for lower elo it might be easier to play stuff like janna/taric to protect or leona for all in.

How to end a game when you are the only one that pushes, and when you try to split push, you always get someone(an enemy player) to defend the base turret. (3rd turret)

So I can't dive, because I will probably die.
I can't push, because the minion get killed.

Only way I can find now is:
Looking for a forced full team fight and "hope" we win, and we can push together.

What the best to-do?

Second question: how to improve the Macro play, and how to learn more about it.

U should try to end games by taking objectives when ur team is stronger than the enemy team. In that situation splitting doesnt make sense since u just gave the enemy team a chance to win a teamfight from behind 5v4. U want to 5v5 them as the stronger team next to an objective if possible. After killing a couple of enemies u take the objective. If u are the weaker team u can splitpush and try to draw out the fighting and making them chase u etc so the game lasts longer and their lead goes away. Or hope they split up and u can outnumber them for a good teamfight to come back. U can "force" fights as the stronger team by going to the objectives. They either defend it and fight u or they let u get it which just makes u even stronger. If ur team still never groups even with u pinging the objectives and being stronger then just wait for mistakes of the enemy team and take objectives after. Dont start solo pushing that often doesnt work.

how to improve the Macro play, and how to learn more about it

1. Watch proplay or high elo replays of people playing ur role to see when they take objectives and how often they do that etc.
2. Watch ur own replays and after every fight and kill pause the game and think to urself whats the highest u can take right now. If u can take an objective always go and do it (it should be the most worth objective possible atm)
3. U can find alot of youtube videos on macro gameplay that u can watch between games or after losses or if u dont feel like playing atm.
4. Actively make calls ingame to see if they work out and if they didnt try to find out if the call was wrong (u didnt have an advantage) or if ur team just didnt perform well and died 4v3 etc. Rly spam ping ur team for the objectives. If u never say or ping anything then the chance of them coming is much lower.

Hey, so ive a little problem. I reached soloQ d3 past 2 seasons and im stuck.. and no, i think im not stuck because of my understanding of the game, i think its more because of my mechanics (im playing legit all lanes beside mid) and even more because of my behaviour. I hate it when people start chat, ignore pings, start rage or even quit in games where i tryhard.... So, sorry für long text but basicaly, im scared to que up. since i got many permabanns already... i cant soloQ i feel like i tryhard too much there, and if people start chatting and flaming each other that pisses me of.


Do you have an idea how i can fix it?

1. Reduce ur champ pool and lanes. If u want to outperform enemy players u need more training on ur champ than they do on theirs.
2. Pick a high winrate meta champ that u like
3. Disable all chat/team chat/ping sound/emotes and when u go ingame type /fullmute all. That hides pings and chat and u can focus on ur own gameplay without any distractions.
4. Stop playing ranked on ur main acc after one loss and go on ur smurf and play there or do smthn else to reset ur mental. Do not instantly queue up again it will snowball ur tilt and lower ur chances of winning.
5. Start dodging games where u have too many trolls/firsttimers/autofills etc and only play like the top 80% of ur games while u dodge the 20% worst champ selects. Will reduce ur tilt even further by not being trapped in 4fun games.

When are they gonna nerf Graves?
Phase Rush is absolutely disgusting on him.

@[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] When are they gonna nerf Graves?

I doubt they are going to nerf him soon. They just buffed him. He was good in earlier seasons for a very very long time. So play or ban or pick champs that are fine against him are probably going to be the only options

Which build is better on Graves?
Lethality or Black Cleaver? I see many variations of builds on him and I don't have point which one I should go or against which matchups?

If even the high elo players cant decide on a build then they are probably pretty similar in power lvl. I see lethality more often in higher elo with stuff like youmuus/glaive into edge. Some also mix it with bc + lethality items. In my opinion i would go with the highest winrate which is lethality. I also prefer to stay with the same item builds mostly so u get used to ur dmg outputs etc. U can change it to bc + lw etc when u play vs multiple tanks but normally with a couple of squishies i think lethality will give u better carry potential.
