The midlaner and the jungler went to bot lane. The 4 man squad easily tower dived them and got 2 kills and the first blood on the turret. Is there even a counterplay on that? "Just run away and give them the tower" Is not a good option cause you will still lose the tower for nothing.(Adc main here)
It's fairly hard to counter something that is done as a direct counter to something you're doing. Your mid should have roamed with their mid, as it probably wasn't hard to put together why it was happening. Your Top Laner could have TP'd when they saw what was happening. But this is a standard reaction to losing on a segment of the map. Flex your strength in another section and try to take an objective. If your opponents are on the other side of the map, it's the right call.
That's why heavy poke bottom lanes suddenly surge when they see the enemy jungler far away from them. That should tell you that they were simply waiting for their chance to pounce on you.
Agree. I'm tired seeing this in every single game. The only counterplay is to give them a turret for free...
There is, the jungler can interveve and keep things like that from happening, or he can invest in toplane at the expense of a tower which the enemy may take at the price of their time and resources.
Note that the enemy midlaner isn't mentioned in this story.
This is a trade off. Nothing more nothing less. Its not anything new. This hyperaggressive style is very popular in asia while as you go west you tend to see more passive styles that counter things like this at early portions of the game, the Asians like to play risky aggressive earlygames in some seasons while the EU prefers to control everything.
