Expanded Information

ADC is a term that was originally extended from dota, where AD is "Attack Damage" and C is "Center. '', AD Center is the physical output core.

In DOTA, the originator of MOBA games, the position that drives the overall rhythm is called "Center", which means "C position/core position". In League of Legends, the term "Center" is used and subdivided into "AD Center" and "AP Center".

ADC usually refers to the physical output center, and most ADCs are long-range shooter heroes, as it is easier for long-range heroes to utilize the range advantage to output safely.

When a long-range hero acts as an ADC, he or she is usually protected by a support and can get the majority of the economy of a single lane, and is usually not robbed by the support. Some of the melee heroes as ADCs usually take the side solo lane, and since it is a solo lane, the melee heroes as ADCs need better maneuvers and awareness.

For ADC, the most important thing is nothing but economy, which includes replenishment, suppressing opponents, controlling the troop line, and creating GANK conditions for teammates. If you want to be a good ADC, you not only need good mending and fine positioning, but more importantly, you know how to control the troop line, know how to give up and chase, as well as a good mindset.
