Ultimately, be open to learning from higher elo players. Chances are they know what they're talking about.

What's the right way to play that? If you get raped top and lose your tower should you just ward up and push to keep map pressure?


If you're pushed to your tower and the other laner is mia, push your lane back and help your team out. If you notice he is somewhere else on the map take his tower. Punish his team for not having someone in the lane. The faster you push the faster you farm. When you freeze a lane you cs very slowly and don't really deny the other team much because they are getting map objectives with a man advantage.

What if the other laner can just straight up kill you without the tower? I had one game not long ago as Olaf vs Riven top, where Riven double killed us top because of a really bad level 2 tower dive by the jungler. After that the lane was basically done and my tower went down, but if I pushed up to her tower and she showed up, she could chase me down and kill me before I could get back to my second tower.


Grab some wards then.

I've always had trouble with finding a place to ward at top lane after the death of first tower.
Say I'm on the team on the bottom left side (blue?), and I wanna ward for top lane. Where do I ward?
I feel like if I ward at our blue tribush they can stil gank me, and if I ward river they can take jungle route.
Does this mean I will need 2 wards?

Soo, it seems that Triforce is a no-brainer on the new Jax. I'll probably play him with Wriggleforce like I did when I was experimenting with non-gunblade builds. Wriggles was great on him and will be great. Triforce was great on him and will be even better with 3 sec CD on W so you can Sheen proc everyone to death. Decreased CD on W means that AP will be a more viable stat overall so Sheen should be really really good.

For the left side you can ward the blue entrance at baron. The other entrance (their wraiths / left of mid brush) should be covered by a different ward.

Or you ward their tribrush and their wraiths, same result.

Ok so my cousin and I were playing a game of lol the other day and we got crushed. It's not that we played bad it was just that we played against some players that were more skilled than us. After the game my cousin asked me what the subtitles of being extremely good like that are. I have no idea, what does separate the good players from guys like me. I know obviously minion farming is important but aside from that do they just have better game sense? What is it that separates the best from the rest?

Yeah something has been up with the servers this past week...
Maybe Riot snuck some code having to do with the upcoming drop-in spectating in the last patch and it's fucking with things...? Or the upcoming patch stuff?


Or it could just be Riot servers being Riot servers....

the best way to find out is to read this thread a lot, watch streams a lot, and play the game a lot. getting better is mostly a matter of time investment

You also have to invest that time into figuring out what mistakes you're making and fixing them. You can put a million hours into a game, but if you never want or try to improve, you never will.

to name a few:
Positioning (where you need to be in lane to avoid ganks, where you need to be in a fight to avoid dying)
Map awareness/control (ward locations, buff/dragon, needing to be near baron lategame, when to split, when to group)
Matchup knowledge (including teamfights, like if you can poke or not)
Item knowledge (what to open in lane, what to build if behind, what to build if ahead)
Teamfight knowledge (focus targets, initiate, how to counter)
Picks/Counterpicks
How to farm (not just last hitting, but where to be to soak up waves)
Some technical skills (landing combos, walljumping, dodging skillshots)

EDIT:: I think this is why everyone thinks they're so godlike and everyone else is shit. Most people have something they're bad at, even at higher elos, and so everyone picks up on that and thinks 'oh I'm better than them' even if the other person is playing better overall.

If they did it would just be their trademark soon. Riot doesn't give dates anymore, because they don't want to disappoint us by giving us false dates anymore. If they don't commit to finishing anything we can't be disappointed right?

Erhm... yes, it looks cool and all but I don't understand his flash. At all. He finished Brand with R+Q+auto if I'm seeing that right. Ulti at that position would have knocked brand into the wall as well. So basicly Q+auto+R would have done EXACTLY the same damage without wasting flash.

Why the fk did he flash and why was it a good play?


Brand e'd him and then sent a q at him. If lee sin just pressed q (he was too close to dodge the brand q by moving from the looks of it) he would have been hit by brand q and stunned. Since flash is instant, he was able to dodge the q stun by flashing behind brand, kick him away, and then q at brand to get out of brand's w and kill him.


If that's the reasoning then him getting into the position of getting Q'd only happened because he was hesitating to Q auto R in the first place.

He hit his Q. He runs around waiting for Brand Q to come out, Brand holds it back just to Q him when he doesn't expect it. I'm not exactly sure how stunning during Q flight works, but it still feels like he misplayed the situation before flashing to avoid Brands Q. :S


I feel like he flashed BEFORE Brands Q... Idk, maybe played a lot of FPS games and have amazing reaction, I just keep seeing it as if he flashed before it lol. Gamble, perhaps?

He flashes before the projectile appears but you can see brand has already started the cast from the windup animation.
