What you just said is countered exactly how lanzoma and I combined just told you. If he's in the middle of the creeps using his w and e, he's simply pushing the wave towards you. He'll deny 1-2 creeps at max if he does that, and you'll get all the last hits after that. Mass pots, use r when possible, don't get hit by e 24/7 like a scrub. Don't bother to even try engaging, (that doesn't mean going in and trying to kill him, that means, even just harassing as your only harass is melee range and he'll just shit on you if you do that). You only farm, and that's it. You go 0-0-0 in lane, get 100+ cs, and come teamfights you shit all over the enemy team because of your farm.

edit: then you can't complain that your noob jungler is the reason you go 0-4 as irelia though so dunno. Kind of counterproductive to this thread then! :D

IMO there's basically never a good excuse for dying 1v1 in lane. Denied? Sure. Lose tower? Fine. Those are unavoidable in certain matchups if your opponent is playing to a certain level of ability. But to DIE you have to actively have chosen to engage/move close enough for him to kill you at some point where you shouldn't have (or if he dived, you should probably have bluepilled at some point prior). There's almost never a situation I can think of where dying is superior to bluepilling and healing or simply waiting for the lane to push back to you--because any creeps you'll lose/damage your tower will take will be unavoidable if you're dead anyway (maybe if you dying allows you to push enough damage onto the enemy laner for your jungler to clean up and end a big enough spree).

Sure you can blame your jungler for not ganking your lane when you're losing lane. But there's a big difference between "losing lane" and "feeding 4 times". If you're getting zoned entirely off CS, then there are lots of things you can do/hope your jungler to do. Pretty much none of them involve putting yourself in situations where you'll die, because that only exacerbates the problem.

Exactly, don't fight unless you know you can win. If you didn't win then you did something wrong. It's more important to just play it safe and cs. If you die then you're super duper behind, if the game is even there's no reason to take a 70/30 risk just for the kill. In some situations a trade is ok.

yeah

yeah

if i see that my opponent isn't going to take risky but favorable exchanges i'm just going to play more and more aggressively until i permanently set up shop on the wrong side of the creep line

Then you misjudged your ability to kill vs his ability to kill, or he outplayed you. That still doesn't mean you can pin it on your jungler for losing--it's still 100% your fault for playing bad if you die in a situation like that.

I'm not saying there's never a good reason to try for 1v1 kills. I'm saying there's never an excuse for dying 1v1. You can try for risky kills, but most of the risks in those situations don't come from truly random factors more than how well/poorly you and your opponent play the situation. The reason is you end up dead is still almost always "I played bad", and you can't really pin it any other way most of the time. Mechanically misplaying a 1v1 engagement is still bad play, even if it involves a sound decision to engage.

When those situations involve a champion like Mordekaiser with no CC, you have to really fuck up to end up dead before realizing that you misplayed and were losing some such engagement. He's got ignite + ulti, but it's pretty rudimentary bad play to not properly judge when you're low enough that ignite + ulti would kill you.

Agree. I never understand why I see people staying in lane with like 1/5 hp or something. The exp you lose from recalling is nothing compared to the exp you lose if you're dead or getting zoned because you're tower hugging with 100 hp left t.t;

"omg go heal before you get jumped!"
"IF I LEAVE THE LANE FOR ANY REASON I"LL BE BEHIND AND NEVER CATCH UP AGAIN"
"Suck it up and heal and get some goddamn potions so you don't get zoned"
"BUT I'LL BE BEHIND ON EXP AND GOLD"
Dies one minute later....
"F***NIG JUNGLER ALL UR FAUULLTTTT" etc etc

Potions save lives. I buy like 1 or 2 basically all game until my inventory is filled. Pop one in any engagement as soooon as you start to take damage. 50 hp5 for 20 seconds is nothing to scoff at. There've been plenty of cases where drinking a potion let me survive a fight.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

I guess you should go back to playing champions that have no bad matchups and stop playing against teams that have a better jungler than you.

The second person is doing better, but you're ignoring the fact that his lane opponent is equivalently more fed. In order for person 1 to get denied that hard, his lane opponent will have to be giving up farm, while comparatively, Person 2's lane opponent will have gotten to free-farm, and has a further 700-ish gold lead from killing that person twice.

That said, your example is retarded. Dying and not dying is not the difference between 60 CS, 2 levels, and half a tower's HP. Person 2 wasn't insta-dying every time he last-hits most likely. More likely, he's getting harassed a bit every time he gets some CS, and happened to stay in lane at too low of HP twice and got killed. If he bluepilled instead of being greedy both those times he died, he would have spent LESS time out of lane, and not put 600-700 gold in his lane opponent's pocket.

To provide you a better example:

Person 1 and Person 2 play identically from levels 1-5. They get CS. They get harassed. They try to harass back but it's a losing matchup so that doesn't go very well. At level 5, they're both sort of low on HP.

Person 1 bluepills, heals and buys, and comes back to lane. The lane opponent pushes the next 2 waves into his tower.

Person 2 goes to CS, gets 2 more CS and dies. The lane opponent pushes the next 2 waves into his tower, and bluepills to buy with 400 extra first-blood gold.

I just had the coolest game where my teammate who could only play one champion got his champion taken, and then proceeded to afk the entire game. He could've at least queue dodged, but he just straight up afked whole game.

I'm very polite about playing lanewick on my smurf. I always go, "I would like to play lanewick, are you guys ok with that?" "if not, I won't play him cause I don't wanna piss people off, but I'm a good lanewick." Both my ranked losses with WW on my smurf are in the jungle, always godlike when I go lanewick, lol.

Lanewick extremely FoTM in EU around 1700 atm. Seems to be one in every game. Not that they always dominate, but it's not like they can lose their lane lol.#

That and amumu jungle, almost every game if I haven't picked a real man jungle already.

Step 1: say I can't play support, people make me pick support anyway
Step 2: Go 3-1-11 with Janna, I was 3-0-10 right before the end.
Step 3: Teammates(esp the Vayne) complain about me sucking whole game since I couldn't use Janna ulti properly even though I warded, shielded the correct people, used Q and W decently etc.

I love playing support.

BTW, Inflecta Kassadin average KDA is 9.1:2.1: 9.1 or 8.8:1

I hate playing champs where people expect something specific out of you. Like, play zilean at low levels and the entire team thinks they can dive and you will save them. Same for champs like shen, janna, and soraka.

Another thing, if you are low ELO people rage hardcore when you don't ban rammus and shen. There was a game that we eventually won, but my teammates yelled at me the whole time.
