    If you're a new player, consider checking out this page for champion recommendations as well as other beginner advice, guides, and explanations of champion classes/roles.

    Here are some guidelines for posting in this thread. You don't necessarily have to answer these questions, but they do help responders give better advice.

    1. What are you looking for help with?

    2. Who do you currently play?

    3. Why do you play them?

    4. How do you play them? What is your playstyle? What role do they fulfill?

    Top jungle mistakes you should NEVER make: From Iron to Platinum

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    EDIT: Currently streaming to showcase these concepts, for anyone who is further interested. Answering all questions in chat, no subscriber-only or follower-only chat or any of that nonsense. Stream name is in my reddit username.

    Hey guys,

    This is a x-post of the post I made in /r/leagueoflegends a few months ago, which gathered quite a bit of interest and some people suggested I crosspost it here, so here it is.

    I've been maining Jungle since about season 2, and been hitting Diamond consistently across seasons since Season 3. I'm not rank 1 EU or even challenger, but I peaked at Diamond 1 EUNE in Season 4 with around 200 games played total. I never tried to go beyond that so we'll never know if I'm a hardstuck D1 or not. Nowadays I mostly duo queue with lower elo players to help them understand elo hell doesn't exist (which in my opinion is the number 1 reason people can't climb). I also do live jungle VOD reviews and explain my thought process (if I'm bored enough and there is demand for it).

    You might recognize me from a pretty old but popular post I posted on /r/leagueoflegends that sounded like a marketing scam https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2g48q3/stuck_in_gold_i_with_over_100_games_then_gold_i/ (tips on how changing ranked mentality helped me go from hardstuck gold 1 to diamond 1 in a very short time)

    This time I'm back with a post on actual gameplay tips rather than mentality (even though the mentality tips are just as important)

    ENOUGH WALL OF TEXT JUST GET ON WITH THE JUNGLE TIPS:

    #1: Do NOT attempt to gank lost* lanes. Snowball winning lanes instead. Why? As a jungler you want to maximize your chances of a successful gank and minimize your risk. Risk is very high when you're ganking a losing lane. Not only can the laner possibly 1v2 you, if the enemy jungler is there too (which he will, if it's high elo), you're fucked. Also the chances of a successful gank are much higher on a lane that is already winning. There are of course RARE exceptions to the rule, where it's a bit safer to gank a losing lane and worth it if it keeps the lane from getting destroyed for the entirety of the game, if for example you've seen enemy jungler on the other side of the map and that lane is overextended. You will have to judge whether the difference is high enough to 1v2 you or not.

    Clarification on this point: A 0/1/0 lane isn't a doomed lost lane. A lane where the enemy is 0.5 levels ahead is also not a doomed lane. A doomed lane is a lane where the enemy laner is 2 levels higher than your laner or has a huge item advantage. You shouldn't actively avoid ganking lanes that are only *slightly** losing, as the matchup is still somewhat equal and nothing is lost. BUT, do not gank them simply because they're losing a little bit and you "need to equalize it or else they might feed". Follow the rest of the rules instead to see what's best to gank (EFFICIENCY)

    #2 -Do NOT deviate from your planned path just because the lane on the opposite side of the map started spamming assistance pings. This is also linked to the above tip. The lanes spamming chat and pings for help are usually the lanes that are long lost. For example, you recalled and decided your next gank is bot. You also have some wolves/gromp you can take if enemy positioning isn't exactly right yet. So you start walking bot. Then BOOM your top starts spamming pings and flaming and asking for ganks "TOP NO SUMS PERMAPUSHING OMG". For the love of god don't spend 30 seconds walking to top just cause your lane asked. It's super inefficient, and it's also distracting you from your game plan. Also don't try to explain to him why it's a bad idea to gank losing lanes. Play more chat less. Mute and stick to the plan. If you become the type of jungler that always tries to please his team by just going to whichever lane asks for help, you will never play consistently well. Your team is making your decisions for you, and your team is only looking at their lane. They are not looking at the overall outcome of the game. That's your responsibility. Your job isn't to save doomed lanes. Your job is to help your team win the game, even if it means letting your top lane ragequit after he goes 0/9/0 cause he just won't stop trying to duel rene that's 2 levels and 1 item higher than him. You help your team win the game by creating a larger gold advantage for your team. You do that by snowballing the already winning lanes.

    #3 -Do NOT walk into a lane to gank it without pinging at least 2 times, 1 time on my way ping 5-10 seconds before you arrive in ganking position, 1 time ping on enemy once you start walking in for the gank. In high elo your laners usually (not always) react even if you don't ping. In low elo, you will be ganking alone with 0 help and wasting your time, maybe even dying. Pinging helps your laner be prepared anyway, even in high elo. Just do it (but don't be obnoxious about it). You will see I usually ping 4-5 times total each time I gank. Not spam pinging, informative pinging to prepare my lane. Also make sure your pings are somewhere where the laner can see it. They hear 3000 pings each game from all lanes. They need the visual cue too. Don't ping "on my way" behind enemy laner when your laner is sitting under tower. He might never see it. Ping right on top of your teamate's champion.

    #4 -Do NOT try to force a gank just because. You really wanna gank mid Viktor cause he has no flash and no ghost. So you walk to mid and sit in brush and wait for him to get in a vulnerable position. 3 seconds pass. 5 seconds pass. 10 seconds pass. 20 seconds pass. Not only did you not realize it was warded the entire time, you flash stun him or whatever only to realize that there's 30 minion waves on your mid laner, he's already 50% hp from the viktor poke, and as soon as he joins to help with the gank, he is instantly deleted and misses 30 waves of gold and exp. If you can't decide whether something is warded just by watching enemy movements, a good rule to follow is don't stay in the same brush for more than 10 seconds MAX. I never stay for longer than 5 seconds unless I'm 100% sure it's not warded. If it's not low elo, the enemy will react with movement as soon as you walk over the ward, so you won't waste anymore time there. If it's low elo and you wanna gank through wards and exploit their slower map reaction time, just ping on my way before you arrive to lane and hope your laner is prepared. Do not sit around in the bush waiting for the perfect position. They will look at the map to know how far you are so they will know from which direction you will gank anyway. If it's high elo, chances are the enemy jungler already predicted you are ganking that lane since his laner is pushing, and he's waiting in exactly the opposite brush. The enemy laner sees you standing in brush cause it's warded, but he didn't even flinch. You might think it's not warded The gank looks too good and too free to be true. DONT fucking do it. It's an obvious countergank trap. If you can't win the 2v2, gtfo (this only applies in diamond+)

    #5 -DO plan your path every time you return to base. Your path isn't planned only for your first clear. You must have a plan every time. Example, you've returned to base after taking your gromp and wolves. I 100% know my next gank will be top or mid. Why? Let's say by the time I walk to river from base, between top and mid, both lanes are pushed by my team and ungankable. At least now I still have the option to just farm raptors or golems for a few seconds until the wave resets. Then I can get back in position to gank, without having lost any time or exp. If you went bot side, and both mid and bot were ungankable, you have nothing to do. Chances are you will end up making mistake #4 by trying to force a gank, or you will spend 15 seconds doing nothing as you walk back to the other side of your jungle. The only chance I would go bot side with 0 camps in my jungle is if there was a crab spawning. In higher elo junglers can typically tell where the wave will be by the time they arrive to a lane. If you can't, it's a good rule of thumb to use the reasoning I described above and just plan your path based on what parts of your jungle are already cleared.

    #6 -This is the most general tip, but also the most important one, and the area where lower elo junglers have the most trouble with. You hear it all the time. BE EFFICIENT. This is why tip #5 is very important. You want to always be farming something. Either camps, or champs. You don't wanna spend long amounts of time travelling through the map doing nothing. There are no simple and specific rules to explain how to be efficient with your pathing. The best way to learn is to watch players better than you explaining what they're doing.

    #7 If you're doing your best to follow every other above mentioned tip, you are 100% stronger than the enemy jungler no matter what champ you're playing. USE THIS ADVANTAGE. His jungle is now also your jungle. Invade ALL the fucking time (but be aware of the map and your surroundings. If enemy lanes are super pushed and you invade, 3 people could collapse on you and block all exits. When enemies are pushing lanes invade only if you have a 100% guaranteed escape path not counting your flash, and if you are confident you can 1v2. Do NOT rely on your team helping you.). Invading does 3 things at once. 1. You get more farm. 2. You deny enemy jungler farm. 3. You track down enemy jungler which gives super important information to your lanes. I cannot stress enough how powerful invading is, even if you get 0 camps cause it's already cleared, even if you don't find your enemy jungler, you can get a deep ward, you know the jungler is on the other side of the map, and you are also in position to gank a lane from a very deadly position: From behind ( ͡° ͜Ê– ͡°)

    Bonus tip

    You're overthinking it. For players new to the role, jungle can seem too complicated. What do I gank? When? Why? Qiyana mid she has 2 dashes and invis I have 1 dash and flash so if she dashes I can dash if she does again I can flash my mid also has a dash gg Knight to c8 checkmate cy@. Guys, jungle isn't chess. Believe me I play and love chess but don't try to think 30 moves ahead like you're Kasparov and overcomplicate things. Yes jungling involves more planning than other lanes but don't overdo it and mess up your simple, effective plan. What you gank and when 90% of the time depends on rule #6 and #5. Being efficient. Sure it's not a bad idea to think a little bit about matchups in loading screen and identify which lanes are harder to gank before the game starts (i.e. garen vs enemy riven - garen 0 cc and gap closers, riven 30000 dashes), but don't overthink it. Follow efficient paths and gank wherever the enemy gives you an opportunity. Even the riven-garen gank could be the easiest of your life. And you didn't have to overthink it, you just happened to be at the right place at the right time after a correct efficient clear.

    Bonus tip 2

    You've probably already seen this before if you're a jungle player, but actually there is a map hack that isn't bannable by Riot. No I don't mean wards. I mean a map hack that lets you see where enemy jungler started without ever warding it. You must use it EVERY GAME because your first plan for your first clear is affected by where the enemy jungler started. The hack works like this:

    If I see enemy bot lane in lane as soon as their wave reaches our wave, that means they didn't leash for anyone. Which means the jungler is either afk or started top side. This will also be confirmed by the fact that you will see top lane enter his lane much later than his minions (there are of course exceptions like kayn who might start raptors solo, or shaco who just stacks boxes and can easily solo a buff - but 95% of the time you SHOULD apply this simple tip).

    Vice versa in the other scenario. Of course in higher elo there's other mind games that some junglers do, which I like to do as well personally when I start a non-standard path (don't worry about this below diamond): Example, I wanna start top side at my red and gank bot early. But I don't want enemy jungler or enemy bot to know that I started top, because then they will expect the gank early, or the jungler will invade my buff before I get there, etc. So I ask my bot lane to give me a "fake" blue leash. This means they don't go to the lane as soon as their minions go, instead they AFK in fog of war for 5-10 seconds, same way it would happen if they were helping me blue. That way the enemy doesn't know I started red. To make it even more believable, you can simply tell your toplaner that you don't need help (if you are playing a sustain jungler like elise for example who has no trouble doing a healthy solo clear). Then it will 100% seem like you started blue.

    Bonus tip 3

    Don't always rely on your lanes to tell you what is warded. In low elo, they almost never tell you. Learn to do it yourself. Top lane almost always wards around the 2:30 mark, right after they've pushed in the 2nd minion wave. You can very easily see this, by checking top lane as you're doing your last camps before gank. If they briefly walk outside fog of war towards brush, it's pretty obvious they just warded that. Don't waste time trying to gank it, even though it's pushing like crazy. You will get nothing done, and you will let everyone on the enemy team know where you are. Bad. If top lane however is equally matched (even 2nd wave is stuck in the middle of the lane, and noone really pushed), there's a decent chance it wasn't warded yet. If you've been watching the lane in between camps/ability cooldowns, like I said, you will know if it's warded with 95% certainty.

    Bonus tip 4

    After a successful gank, if your laner is low on hp or mana, they probably want to base. Help them push the wave hard before you leave lane. This helps deny gold/exp from the enemy laner who just died, and also helps reset the lane. On the other hand, if you are NOT sure that your lane wants to recall and the lane isn't already pushing by default, don't push it unless they ask you to. There's a big chance they wanna use the lead that they just got to freeze the lane instead and deny even more cs from the enemy when they come back to the lane.

    Bonus tip 5

    If you have weak mental, mute chat as soon as the game starts. Pings are more than enough to communicate important information. No shame in doing this, I myself do it too sometimes if I'm on tilt. Jungle is the most flamed role in the game, especially in lower elo, because people don't understand what the jungler's job is. They think your job is to win their lane, or to save their doomed lane, or to focus their lane because they picked a losing matchup. Which couldn't be futher from the truth. So to avoid getting into arguments instead of playing, have everyone muted from the start if you can't ignore negative comments. If people start being toxic with pings, mute their pings too.

    Bonus tip 6

    Applies not to just jungle, but every player out here hungry to get better at the game. Don't spend too much time only reading and researching how to get better. Play the game. You could spend 2 hours a day reading tips like this but never improve, because you play 3 ranked games a week. I can't stress how important it is to actually try to apply these in game also, not just read and nod.

    That's it for now. This covers the most crucial jungle mistakes for all elos from Iron to Plat.

    Finally, because I've been seeing a lot of controversy over unranked to challenger type of streams on the front page lately, and whether they really serve an educational purpose or not: I agree that many of these streamers do it simply to pubstomp low elo and get more views. However, I do believe that games closer to the viewer's elo rather than high elo games, will be able to provide much more accurate and EASY TO APPLY insight for viewers, as long as the person doing it is actually explaining what's happening in real time, and the thought process behind each decision, interacts with chat etc. Which is what I plan on doing. I have a comfortable full time job and I don't plan on becoming a streamer, nor do I think I'll ever have more than 2-digit viewers, so I'm not doing this for views. If I hop straight into diamond games, a silver player will have a harder time understanding why a jungler does a certain thing in diamond, and how he can translate that into a silver game. In a silver/gold game however, the viewer will start to realize how many countless mistakes they make, and how they could capitalize on them instead. Depending on whether people agree with this or not, and whether they find the information above useful or not, I might do one in about an hour or so.

    What should I do when I miss Nidalee's Q?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 12:28 AM PDT

    I only played her 3 times and my ganking was very hit or miss with landing her Q. I know Q (and W also) will mark enemy and marked enemy will receive extra damage from Q in second form which is useful for bursting and having a more successful gank. I think it is philosophy of playing Nidalee: mustn't miss Q (plz correct if I am wrong). So if I miss Q when ganking, should I still go in or retreat and wait for another window?

    Recently switched to Top lane, but I don't understand why can Tanks outdamage Fighters while they build only armor/hp items?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    Hello, I'm a Diamond 4 player and recently I've switched to Top lane from ADC (Draven) / JG (Evelynn), but I don't understand why can Tanks outdamage Fighters while they build only armor/hp items? Like they spike so hard after getting some small items like Bami/Bramble and Tanks like Ornn/Malph/Maokai/Shen just outdamage you so hard.

    I mostly play champs like Camille and Irelia, luckily I can kill them later on into the game but why do they deal so much damage early?

    Low Elo. Since I've increased my CS I started losing more game with Katarina.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    https://ru.op.gg/summoner/userName=Morl1no - op.gg

    [sorry for my grammar, that could be painful to read]

    When I was playing Ktarina with 4-5 CS, didn't farm, just walking with my team and joining every ARAM - I was winning. But since I've decided to improve my CS - I started losing. And don't et me wrong, I'm not blindly farming, while enemy team is taking a Drake, I'm pushing when there's no objectives on the map and steel some enemy's camps. The main problem is while I push my team go into their jungle and die for nothing and give them a killstreak, free map pressure, towers. But if I won't push, and go fight with my team (even if there's no objectives) we will win, get nothing, but at least won't lose.

    So is it really like that with Katarina in low Elo? Should I go back to ARAM playstyle and carry teamfights? Or it's not why I've started losing and you have some suggestions?

    And btw, why tf am I winning with my Inting Fiora?

    How exactly do you cheater recall?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:03 AM PDT

    The cheater recall.

    I have seen it in many clips and sometimes in my games when there is a smurf, but I have never known exactly how to do it (from what I understand, you need to slow push 2 waves and crash the third while also trading resources (health/mana) ).

    1.So... How exactly do you cheater recall?

    2.Is it viable on all champs or only with champs/matchups with early pressure like diana or yasuo?

    3.Also is there any difference in doing it in mid or top/bot?

    Thanks in advance :D.

    Which is worse? Counter picking using a champ you are not very familiar with or purposely picking a champ into a very bad match up?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 10:50 AM PDT

    Had a game recently where jungle chose a very bad match up and this idea came into my head afterwards.

    Playing what you know is usually better, but if you are picking something that is actively harming your chances in the game (not just lose lane, but will actively lose the game) is that a worse pick?

    It's a kinda "lesser of two evils" question but I'm curious as to what others think.

    How to do well with Illaoi

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:33 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm a bronze player who LOVES the way that illaoi works. I love her spirit pull, I love her tentacle slams, and by GOD I love the 2v1's. But I'm not that great, and all I hear about the champ is that shes bad, or reactive.

    I haven't seen any Illaoi matchup guides since DirtyMobs's on r/illaoimains (which granted, is good) but I'd love some more discussion on my favorite champ that isn't four years old. Anyone who has a good few tips on her, playing into or as her, anything you think might help someone be more aquanted with her (and no, I'm not asking you to tell me that R + Flash is a good combo, i know

    Is Neeko underrated/under picked?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:46 AM PDT

    I am a gold 2 mid-laner who was main Diana and is now main Neeko because I see Neeko as one of the strongest characters in the game.

    Since I started playing with Neeko I realized how much people are unaware of the damage she causes, in the route phase it is very difficult to gank a good neeko since her escape with E + W is extremely strong, besides that after finishing Luden's Echo I can usually exchange a kill on a gank using E + Q+ignite on one of the champions and the W to escape or I can get a kill and escape alive. And during the route phase, a well-placed E + Q leaves your enemy with 50% health, and the E's range is large enough to create an easy kill opportunity in a gank without you having to expose yourself.

    But where I think she really shines is in 5x5, she can punish wrong starts extremely easily with her E, she can start fights very easily with R + flash or with R + W, she can turn fights in favor of her team with an R that reaches 2+ opposing champions, so I see it very easy to fit her into compositions for TF or pick-offs. Not to mention that any squishy champion basically dies with an E + passive from W + Q or with an R + Q.

    Even so, I don't see her being chosen in tournaments or even on solo q that much and I don't know why. I recognize that it is very simple to kill her if you can get close, but it is very difficult to get close to her if you position yourself correctly, in fights the range of E and Q is large enough for you to cause massive damage without having to expose yourself, and in pickoffs, an E well placed stops all champions that would surprise you while the movement speed of the W allows you to escape with some tranquility.

    PS.: Sorry if I made any writing mistakes, English is not my first language.

    MANAMUNE and who to build it on

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 01:59 PM PDT

    It seems like manamune is all the rage right now, but I'm not sure what ADCs it should be built on instead of their normals builds. For example I know cait is really good right now, but I don't know if her ie/storm should be subbed out for it. Recently my duo built it first on Sivir and that felt really strong.

    Top Lane when to hard push

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 12:18 PM PDT

    Hey I'm SirJonjo a Gold 3 peak top laner and I'm interested in trying to improve my general laning on the champions I like to play, those being Rumble, Kennen, Gnar and Neeko. In lane I tend to autopilot and just continually shove waves into the enemy turret regardless of matchup. This can lead to me getting ganked and dying sometimes which in top lane 1 death can lose lanes. So I am practicing warding spots for when I do this. I would like to say I am trying to learn wave manipulation slowly. Apart from continuing to learn wave management what else can I do to get leads if I'm just constantly hard shoving?

    AP items seem to be so much better than AD. Am I wrong or is it by design?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:02 PM PDT

    I used to be a mid laner - played a lot of mages in there.

    Switched roles because of long queue times and because I used to get my secondary position pretty often. Besides, even when I got mid, 7/10 times there was always a guy in lobby asking to play the role.

    So yeah, that's how I switched to ADC (and I feel like I have to say this, no - this isn't another ADC rant, just an honest opinion and curious what other people think). The role has its ups and downs but for the most part its been pretty enjoyable.

    Still, sometimes I still remember the "old days", and I can't help but think that AP items seem to so much better then AD.

    The best way to explain this, is when versing tanks. No matter what ADC I play (unless it's a tank shredder ie. Vayne), I can't seem to do anything against tanks. With BORK or LDR, does not matter, at some point i'll just have to accept the fact that I will only tickle these people.

    Which is infuriating to some degree, when tanks or no tanks didn't matter before - there was nothing a Void Staff could not handle (besides a lot of HP items seem to give armor rather than MR?).

    Now I know that they tried to balance the items, every AP items in theory (or at least the popular ones) has its AD counterpart, but the AP ones seem so much better (besides there seems to be an AP item for every situation, can't really say the same for AD - and more gold efficient as well).

    Zhonyas > GA.

    Void Staff > LDR.

    Liandry's > BORK.

    Death Cap > IE.

    So, what do you guys think?

    Volibear Combos Guide

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 10:30 AM PDT

    Hello Summoners,

    Today I have a Volibear Combo Guide for you, combos are very important to improve with a champion!

    The combos are seperated in four difficulty classes!

    To the Guide: https://youtu.be/ce7brHgGIyU

    ​

    I need bunch of hours to create that Combo Guide, in that case I would be happy if you could leave some constructive feedback, that I can improve my Videos!

    I feel like I constantly die even when I have full health

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT

    Hey. I've been trying to get into League of Legends because all my friends play it and I want to do that too. However, every time I try to play (mainly top/support) I get melted in a second or even less. I have been told to buy armor/magic resist items to try to mitigate that but when I get to do that the enemies already fed so much gold and experience off of me that they don't even do anything. Even when playing a tank it feels like I can die instantly. So here is my question: how can I avoid it because it takes away from my enjoyment of learning this game?

    I Hit a Wall in Ranked

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    I've reached Gold 2 and to this point everything was going smoothly but as soon as I got to G2 I hit a wall; I lose more games than I win and I somehow forgot how to play my main champions (those with 270k mastery points), it's like I never played champions and two days ago I was crushing with them..

    I play Ahri, Syndra, Lux .. mages mosty and I get stomped hard, I don't know if the difference from G3 and G2 is so big or did my knowledge of champions just disappeared over night, literally.

    I don't know what to do.. did I burn out? Should I switch to new champions (because it seems I play first time with my mains as well)...

    I watch various tutorials and VODs, I'm trying my best all the time, I note my mistakes and try to make them right... and it still seems impossible to climb...

    Any ideas? Anything, literally

    Kill stealing etiquette as a noob

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 02:39 AM PDT

    hi I'm new to league and i started playing unranked 5v5s a couple days ago. Is there specific etiquette for ksing? I've been called out a lot and I rarely notice when I do it but I apologize whenever I notice. Are there any tips for being more aware about it? The only times I notice I'm doing it is when my other laner is a melee and the opponent is running away and already kinda far so I go for the kill but I got called out for ks. I usually play Ezreal or Lux in bot/mid lane if that helps

    edit: I get called out for kill stealing sorry i didn't realize ks and kill steal meant different things

    Is Mordekaiser jungle very strong in low ELO?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:33 AM PDT

    So I have been experimenting with Morde jg and had great luck so far. Wondering if I am just lucky, or if he really works well in lower elo?

    He is not scared of 1v1 with pretty much anybody, his jg clear is acceptable. His ganks are very weak pre 6, but after that you can force 1v1 with anybody you want. And because you are not afraid to go into enemy jungle, you can show up from very weird angles and do a good gank even with E being the only gap closer (and a crappy one). On top of that if we have no tank or our tank is bad, I can build tank and do something useful at the end of the game. If tank exists and is doing well, I can build bruiser and do some damage (along with making sure opponents main threat is in shadow realm with me every team fight).

    So... why is morde jg such a rare thing? What am I missing?

    How do I deal with other people making bad decisions?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:49 AM PDT

    Edit: I can't edit the title, but I didn't mean to imply that my decision is absolutely right and theirs is wrong. Poor title choice. Better would be "How do I deal with people making decisions I THINK are wrong". My bad.

    I feel like recently I constantly have games where I ask myself why the hell someone just did what they did while feeling like it was incredibly obvious that it's the wrong decision. I don't wanna do the typical "last game this and that happened" so I'll try to make up a scenario that applies to my question.

    Let's assume I'm playing support, the enemy has an extremely fed jungler (like 1v5 fed) and they are in dragon area, already have vision set up and blocking entrances while their toplaner is already at, for example, our inhibitor and we barely have any structures left anyway. I would let the dragon go if it's not even soulpoint and def the base. My team fights there anyway, and dies while also giving drake.

    Tl;dr and my actual question: Should I suicide with my team for a slim chance of achieving our goal or try to do what I think is right even though it would just upset everyone else?

    If it's an unclear question (really bad at describing things and asking the right questions) I can try to rephrase it.

    Maybe I would make the wrong decision there, but that's not really an excuse to engage when you have less people there, right? Maybe it was shitty from me to leave but I didn't force their hand, they could still just back off.

    And I constantly find myself in similar situations. Maybe it's just an unlucky streak but I don't always wanna be the "I told you so" guy if I'm the one losing.

    Corrupting Potion vs Dorans Ring start.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:29 AM PDT

    I picked up Zoe recently to my pool and currently Im testing the fifferences between the2 starters. Usually my first back is for dorans ring (or for a 2nd if thats my starter) for a better laning. I like to play agressive to pressure my enemy and create early advantage but but this made me think that I could use this for other rangeds too.

    What are the champions I should be buying grievous wounds for?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:00 PM PDT

    Im sort of new to the game and in bronze 1 atm. I think one of my main weaknesses are not knowing how to itemize very well, especially because I dont know what every champion does yet. Off the top of my head I can think of soraka, yuumi, vlad, fiora, mundo, and garen. Are there any other main ones?

    I'm a lvl 12 Vel'koz main with some trouble in late game

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:10 AM PDT

    I'm level 12 atm and pretty much only play Vel'Koz. I know what to buy, am pretty good early to mid-game but as soon as late-game starts, I usually get deleted. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I often play with some higher-level friends (lvl 50+) but they also can't tell me. I don't just throw myself into the enemy, play with minions, and try to join team fights. But either I don't deal enough damage or I just perish within seconds. Sometimes I just get stunned and then die with no chance of survival. And this doesn't really happen to me in higher-level lobbies more just in lobbies around my level.

    Cho'Gath Top Lane: Trading and Runes

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 02:18 PM PDT

    I have recently been using Cho'Gath in the Top Lane. I know about power spikes and all that. I play passive and try to farm. It's more my style anyway. My question is when it comes to trading 1 v1. I am not good at it. How do improve at it?

    The other question is about runes. What is the best runes I can use at low-elo? Do I go with Resolve, Sorcery, or an Inspiration base? I am thinking maybe a Resolve base but I want to do some damage with my Q.
