Inactivity versus Proactivity

Why is it when your teammates don't have a solid game plan in mind, that they just sit middle with each other, spectating what the other players in the game are doing?

It's like they literally cannot possibly be, being more inactive, or useless. It takes the 3 or the 4 of you guys to defend our lane against REGULAR LANE MINIONS?

Here's "a" suggestion.

1: Ward the map, deward the map, sit in a bush that's been dewarded and ambush the next person that walks by it. 2: Go find an enemy on the map who is out of position free farming, because they aren't afraid of you ganking them, because they can see the 3 or the 4 of you defending the regular lane minions. Hence they are free farming without fear of being out of position. 3: Peel for the guy who is actually solo roaming. He's solo roaming because he knows that sitting in the lane holding each others hands defending the lane against regular lane minions, is about the least effective game-winning strategy there has ever been.

Your opponents will ALWAYS take advantage of you being "inactive", I call it inactivity, because it certainly isn't being proactive. Being proactive, is going out of your way to make an attempt to win the game. Wake up and smell the coffee, defending the lane against lane minions isn't making the slightest attempt to win the game. And it doesn't matter if you're a passive / defensive type of champion if your opponents are being aggressive as hell, you NEED to be proactive or else you WILL LOSE.

but lane minions help zeds and lees take towers. defending against them is important up until they get nerfed.

Yet again. I'm owning bot lane with Varus as Morgana as my support.

They come back - and for the gank of a lifetime i've ever seen one.

Jayce Teleports in from top, Twisted Fate ults in from mid, Warwick flash ults into a Morgana shield (Thank God). I get away and Morgana lays her life down for me.

Needless to say this happens SEVERAL more times during the match, and our mid laner is just "Meh, I don't really give a fuck what's going on. I only picked Zed so I could free farm because he's a resourceless champion. I didn't pick him because he's an assassin or really good in team fights or anything. Fuck, I don't even intend on picking off people who are off by themselves, i'm just going to stay middle, and farm creep waves, wave after wave. I completely notice that my team is struggling, and they're calling me a fucking idiot, because i'm refusing to participate, and i'm just going to reply with "Why you mad bro? It's 'just a game'."

Yes, a point i'd love to point out. You know exactly what is expected of you, when you join a TEAM GAME, yet you ***ADAMANTLY REFUSE *** to participate as a team. Why? Aww, I just love hearing people get upset over the computer. It just thrills me to death. Oh fuck, I couldn't imagine the expressions on their face when they're this upset, but if only I could. That would be just amazing, and my entire life would be complete, knowing that.

Here's a suggestion. GO FUCK YOURSELF - and come to the internet cafes, so when I do show up there, and I see people intentionally acting like idiots to spite other people, I can haul your asses outside and curbstomp you into the ground before I run over your skull with my car.
