I think there's a lot of criticism that is too high level, especially with regard to strategy and builds. For example. in the comeback game I was a part of, there was some criticism directed towards our decision to push bottom lane instead of top, and in the process a big teamfight was missed that let us take 2 towers and an inhibitor. For a lot of us low level players who are interested in getting better, seeing how the fight unfolded and who made the big plays would be 1000x more valuable than where to push. (We also decided to push based on prior decisions. KissBlade was farming bot because there was a huge wave and a couple of us were already mid. We planned to take our jungle then take over their jungle. I thought that the timing of the mid wave, as well as the coming bot wave and the position of our heroes would allow us to push, which is why we made that call.) Another thing I saw was the last game on Frost's/notomi's channel, in which a bit of criticism was directed towards Janna's build. I like the way that the necessity of the Vision Ward was explained, that was really insightful. But when Janna builds Phil stone, there was a lot of "I don't like that, Ruby Crys>SS would be much better for fights." Instead of outright saying that there should be some time to see how it both helps and hurts the lane, then form opinions on that and how it fits or doesn't fit their play style. I do think you guys are doing a great job though, and it's amazing how the IH community has expanded and is allowing people to improve not just their game but also their casting. Keep it up! | ||

That being said, practice makes perfect, and I probably just had a bad ranked day today. I'll be participating in the in-house tonight as well, should be fun. :3 | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cQ1pXwy.png) Just a little advice from a shitty spectator, but I think most of your problems that game stemmed from letting the Blitzrank have his way in lane. Obviously this was partly because he had an early kill, but if you keep up pressure on Blitz he can't just stand in bushes and hook or threaten to hook. Zyra is especially good at exerting pressure (and also stellar versus Shyvana). That firstblood gave them complete control of the lane, and also pulled Hecarim bot, which let Shyvana do what she wanted. Also that dive on the Malphite was awkward but I don't think there's anything more I can tell you about that which you don't already know, lol | ||

Already, which is scary because I've only actually played in three games. My problem is that my solo queue play is awful without being able to directly talk to my team, and knowing to push tower early as caitlin (thanks for the insight, Notomi <3) doesn't help when I have no idea where the jungle or mid laner is and Kassadin just explodes me. That being said, practice makes perfect, and I probably just had a bad ranked day today. I'll be participating in the in-house tonight as well, should be fun. :3 I've had a different experience. Been kind of choking because I'm used to forcing my team to adapt to my jungling style in solo queue -- I like to play a very aggressive counter jungling style. Whereas in the inhouses I'm a lot more conscious about my teammates and whenever someone asks for help I immediately head there, or i buy more wards than I normally do, so I end up under farmed. I feel like I'm throwing away everything I learned about the game for the sake of being more supportive of the team in ways that I find inefficient. But maybe that's just me shutting myself down because I'm a gold playing with diamonds and I don't want to be the shot-caller even though I'm used to. I suppose I just have to adapt better. | ||

It's just a lack of communication, invading is not a single person effort, at higher levels it requires people to shove lanes and be ready to collapse on you when you start a fight in their jungle. If you're playing against better players it will be harder to invade because they'll know how to react a lot better than golds do (in solo queue) who just generally stay in lane and let you do whatever to their jungler. If you want to invade, make a call and see how your team feels about it. They want to help you out just as much as you want to help them, but in arranged team comps you have to play as a single unit and not 4 separate entities. | ||
