doesn't it seem like bot almost always feeds?

In almost every loss I have had this season was mostly influenced by a bot lane feeding

not just 1-3 or even something like 1-5 but BIG numbers like 1-13 or 2-14

in my last game bot decided to feed this jhin because I won mid REALLY hard against a katarina and teemo pushed gnar out top lane (jg was occupied trying to save kat)

we lost as soon as jhin went mid

everytime I looked bot they were doing something stupid and varus refused to move when firing his arrows and janna would ult for "zoning"

I'm not saying it's completely their fault (I could have roamed more) but they played a major part at least 70% in our loss, there was proof in that as soon as jhin died we almost won despite it being a 3v4 (bot and supp off farming)

I just feel like bot laners need to understand that when I say "play safe and let us carry" it's not an insult it's just me telling them that the best thing to do would play safe and cs and hopefully make it up in the late game

Statistically speaking if one bot lane feeds another is getting fed, so no, bot lane does not "always" feed.

Haha xD. That's the greatest point I've ever heard.

almost always* and I mean from my perspective, I get that I am not a high skill or high elo player but damn some of these people refuse to even move or participate, if I fall behind I just take kills where I can and wait for a powerspike or a decent amount of gold

i have noticed that this season alot of players playing in the bot lane feed, because even though they say its what they play they are new to the role or a duo lane in genral, because all the other players that main those roles arent playing them this season, but that can be said to all roles, ive been in games where jungles top lanes and mids feed and the game ends in a loss.... also most of those players are probably rolling players and making losses happen, but this is just a theory

Truth. I have lost a couple games because our jungler fed, a couple cause top fed and a couple cause I fed in bot lane. It happens everywhere.

I kinda find it funny when the jungler feeds because, you know, you're the only person in the team that the enemy team isn't supposed to know where to find at any given time, lol.

But really.

As a bot lane main, I do assure that boy doesn't always feed. Do I sometimes have a bad laning phase, yes. But not nearly every time. With that being said, anything over two deaths in laning phase is just playing foolishly, I will agree with you there.

side lanes seems to lose the hardest and cant ever recover from a single fail.

Their lane is longer and thus easier to gank. Bot lane especially gets a lot of attention from the enemy jungler and mid because 1) there is a squishy ADC to kill, and 2) if you kill bot lane you get a free drag.

and adcs seems to just carelessly farm.

especially when they are on blue side which is easier to gank.

Probably because every single game there is a 4 or 5 man bot gank every few minutes.

i'm also talking about purely VERY hard losses, at the point where playing safe serves almost no purpose apart from added pressure in fights

Bot lane is typically the lane that it's most noticeable on. They're usually giving double kills when they feed. I mean the game I just got out of lucian was +5 or 8 kills by the 12 minute mark or so. It's especially noticeable when jungling more often than not 2 - 3 lanes are heavy feeders.

Edit: Second game in a row this has happened it's starting to get fun

0/8/3 Brand support 1/8/3 Miss Fortune 2/8/1 Warwick 1/2/2 Lux <- Myself (First pick mid in draft is horrid, so I went with something that won't die.)

All of them had less than 100 cs at 20 minutes. My salt levels are rising
