Please don't waste your early game advantages power/afk farming

If you have early game pressure, or are at least a strong early game lane bully, please don't waste your strong point playing passively. Champions such as (any by no means limited to) and all have really good early games (yes, they tend to be good for most if not for all of the game but still, they have a notable advantage in the early game). So please make use of your strong point and try to get a lead, either in your lane or another's. Go for kills, poke a lot, look for that early level 2 engage/gank. It not only will get you ahead but it may also make your opponents tilt pretty hard, which is basically a win already.

Umm Amumu's pre-6 is pretty weak. Its normal for him to power-farm in the early stages of the match.

I agree on the rest of them though. Same goes for Garen although I don't think anybody in their right mind picks Garen and decides to passively farm their lane.

I put Amumu simply for his Q but yeah he is a bit on the fence for this. And I have seen my fair share of passive Garen players who still rush a damage item over tanky ones and end up feeding because of the more expensive items pared with no increase to your income.

in other words, playing passive = you better build full tank, and playing aggressive = your choice for what you feel is best.

In silver and bronze farming early is more important than any other strategy.

Silver and Bronze players worry too much about trading, kills, and "pushing leads."

Only high gold or plat and higher players know how to effectively trade and push leads without sacrificing farm. It is more important to just farm and be relevant in the mid game than to worry about anything else since most silver and lower players do not farm well at all.

A lot of them are incapable of farming under tower.

If you're below gold, kill leads mean almost nothing because whoever has it won't push to close the game with that advantage.

Farm is far more important because steamrolling the other team is practically the only way low MMR knows to finish the game, and farm is far more stable of an income than kills.

Especially when you talk about wasting time ganking at level 2. lol
