I'm having trouble seeing league of legends as a game where one role differs from the other. Right now, mid and top snowballs and dominates so hard off of one kill while if a carry did that it wouldn't be the same. Carries are for sustain damage but what is that worth when you are dead from someone who has crazy burst to level a team and make his/her own team destroy the other team easier. Example, Kat getting a free two easy kills from the crazy out of no where burst. Changes that into dominating the game scaring the other lanes to back more even killing a tower making her more available to roam and assist her team, with the extra gold she gets from killing a champion and more creep kills and maybe a tower she has her own wards to watch jungle movement to steal and gank jungle as well.


I'm sure I'm just going to get a oh I don't know what I'm talking about as usual because people don't want to say it but I dislike playing carry the most because I don't understand my role if a mid or top snowballs and does crazy amounts of damage. why am I the carry then they may fall off but, it is late when they fall off and we would have already won with everyone else getting gold and level advantage it's either over already. The times I see a team like that lose is because they screw around and don't end it letting the game get too late and then the other team caught up in levels allowing team fights to become easier.


IF this doesn't get any answers I'll just delete it and never worry about it. I'm sure I'm only asking this because I started playing Dota 2 more and more.

Being a Carry in LoL is a lot more about positioning than in Dota 2, I think. If the tank can get between you and in the AP or Top laner that's snowballing, and you can survive that burst, you'll be strong. Also, in the late game, it's really about the AD Carry, even if your team is much stronger, if they kill your AD carry and you can't kill theirs, you lose.
