A Note to ADCs and Supports
Unfortunately due to the nature of bot lane, matchup guides are few and far between. However, instead of cursing riot for enforcing a meta where a duo lane exists, I think we should take this as an opportunity to properly write some bot lane matchup guides! Creating and maintaining a bot lane guide would probably be 1.5-4x more difficult than doing the same for a solo lane, but if you feel like you’re up to the task get into contact with me so that we can discuss formatting and general guide principles.
PLEASE READ - A Note on this Guide and Other Similar Ones
I’ll be very frank with you - matchups don’t matter in low elo. In low elo people will miss CS, miss chances to poke/harass, grossly mispotion etc. etc. This means that you can win pretty much every matchup in the game, provided you simply play better than your opponent.
This document is slightly more useful in higher elo when matchups become more stable and the potential for outplay diminishes, but even then there are an incredible number of variables that simply cannot be covered in a mere guide. So why bother with it at all?
- It helps newer players understand how different champions interact with the game, allowing them to learn new matchups in a shorter amount of time
- It helps viewers of esports understand what should happen in a lane inside a vacuum
- It estables vague ideas of strength levels at different points in the game
This guide will never - can never be absolutely perfect, but can be an incredibly useful tool when utilized properly. It should also be noted

- That being said, watching the annie video guides by Cutemao is still a good idea. His movements inside lane are a good thing to study
