In the end you died because you were unprepared or not wary enough, but it's not exactly false to state that worse players are more likely to misread a situation and do unexpected stuff. It's just you can't use it as an excuse.


Where are you getting this 80% chance from? There is a very tiny amount of true randomness in the game. If it was that close when he's not even a good player you'd expect a good player to do way better because he'll play it even better.

You don't need to wait for a"best opportunity" you just need a "good" opportunity, there's always that balance as the offensive player, of thinking you can all in him, or wait till you know you can all-in him but risk him backing off. However the thing is this based on your knowledge and calculation which indicates you have a pretty good grasp of the situation (i.e not bronze)

at the end of the day if you get all-in'd by a bad player and lose you just played shitty and you'd probably lose to a better player too (you're probably playing something you suck at because he's a "bad player")

There's often pretty annoying situations where you just happen to use ability x or just happen to go ward when the enemy jungler arrives and things like that. At times it feels planned and due to you being forced into doing something, other times it feels pretty random.

I'm not sure how an allin is a 80% chance like that, though. If it's not 100% there's no sense in taking it, you will have opportunities. There will also be moments during it where you should be able to abort it with an advantage. If not, you shouldn't get into the position where he can risk an allin in the first place. I cannot recall any recent allins that were the type that had a 80% chance of failing or succeeding, or even 50%. I only take allins when I can guarantee a good outcome.

Speaking of which, I think I have a bad habit of being too passive / scared / going back to base too often, need to fix that somehow.

Hint from a guy on the inside
junglers are waiting in the bush for you to use your ability or to go and ward, its not a coincidence

getting ganked in that situation is just being a shitty player its not random at all

The only thing my d1 friends have issues with when duoing with me is missing skillshots, because they alway expect the juke. As far as strategy stuff, good players always abuse non optimal strategy.

Thats what I say when we're duoing, but I observe their solo queue ranked games and they don't seem to miss as many of their skillshots. Probably just confirmation bias.

Made a thoughtful decision. I just came back to lane when it wasn't warded. Easy gank. Wait for lane to push? If it pushes in either direction you can ward the brush and if he's in it the guy won't be there to follow up. If it's pushing toward you? Just be patient and the jungler will leave. You can also try to pretend to go for a cs and back off, see if the guy is playing abnormally agressive or easy to hit. Alternatively come back to lane from river and ward it that way.

The important thing is to realize theres a counter to everything and you just need to be aware.

I hate that so much. "Alright, he's moving straight now, but he'll probably start moving to the side soon. I got this"
Shoot to the side, dude never stops going straight. It leaves me with the worst feeling, because when you look back on it it looks like you're just retarded.

All these questions about missing skillshots seems like you're just chucking out high risk low reward max range ones and then blaming it on the other guy moving funky.

When you see the highlight reels where someone launches a skillshot where someone else is flashing to, most of the time it is because there are pretty much only 2 places where the person can go without just straight up dying to basic attacks.

Like, Bischu's not going to complain playing in bronze that people move funky and he misses Nid Q because they'll just straight up die anyways.


The information game in league (predicting movement, jungling) is still about making EV plays based on the information set you have and the exclusion set that you know.

Well I for one have walked right into a "missed" hook numerous times. Especially when it's too close to react to otherwise, I look for when the animation begins and walk to the side... It's really difficult to just keep moving straight.

That's dumb. Professional athletes shouldn't get payed nearly as much as they do anyway.

the qualifier "professional" does not hinge on how much you are getting paid

if you really think that someone like dyrus (just random pro name) deserves six figures for playing league of legends you are fucking insane
