How to not get camped?

Original Xin·Jan 5, 2015·2 votes·941 views

I am a very good player, but I'm too good for my own good. You see, I often dominate my lanes so hard the the enemy jungle and mid camp me non-stop for 15 minutes, resulting in me losing. I've tried everything, warding, asking my team to take dragons, but you know how solo-que is. It's tough for me because I feel like I'm being punished for playing well. What the fuck am I supposed to do to not get camped. Seriously, I know someone out there knows how to deal with this and don't fucking say to ward because pantheon fucking ults me and xin and zed gank from different directions at the same time or they straight up 5 man dive me while my team farms jungle. Do I just have to play waveclear mages every game? Because I will, if that's what it takes. This is just ridiculous at this point and I feel like losing lane intentionally just so I don't get camped.

Don't overextend and ward. If you are so good, once you get ahead, this should be pretty easy to play safe and not get turret dove. I actually love when the enemy jungler camps me since he is wasting his time and my jungler can win other lanes.

Yeah, this is what everyone says, but it's not true. First of all, it's not in my power to "not get turret dove." I can't control whether they are going to 4 man dive me or not. Second, my jungler SHOULD help other lanes, but they never do. They just afk farm all game and rage in all chat.

Play someone who can get fed enough to not care, or at least fed enough to create moments for your team by existing. I did that last season with Shyvana. You ever see four people cowering at an inhib turret while a dragon is on the inner? Good times....

Uhm, you say that you are so good, so being as ahead as you say you are (in order to get camped) you should easily be ahead enough to not get turret dove. Something doesn't add up here. That's for jungler ganks. If you are talking about 4 man ganks, then maybe you need to make a decision and stay with teammates so it's at least a fair fight. That just seems smart. They don't want to come mid and be with you? Then go bot and be with them. Raging at your teammates won't fix the issue, finding a way to work with them will. I also struggle with that aspect, but I know it is something I struggle with and I just feel my teammates shouldn't be stupid enough that I have to play their stupid game xD, but regardless, still something that can be done.

You dont have to lose lane, but completely dominating it is kinda a risky thing as well. If you can, try to keep the minion wave at around the middle of a lane. To do that, just not attack the minions other than last hitting. During that time if you're able to, poke them down slowly but surely. Not fast enough to make the jungler prioritize you, but still, do more than tickle them. and whatever you do, still get that CS.

I try to keep the wave in the middle of the lane but if the enemy laner knows I'm ahead because I've killed him a few times he just stays way behind his turret and refuses to farm. Even with me just last hitting the wave eventually pushes to his side of the lane and then he freezes it under tower.

If warding is not working for you perhaps you are warding in the wrong places. If you are ahead it is actually very helpful to draw the enemy jungler to your lane in an attempt to waste their time, so instead of trying to find a way to avoid getting camped you should be figuring out how to get camped and not die.

dont be a salty champ when you die too many times salt mtherfkers go on all chat talking bout he's being camped and the other laner gots no skill n shit you know what that does? fk the tent, their jungler is now gonna build the camper's ski lodge winter resort

if you get 4 man dived, its not your fault... really someone shoulda pinged mia.. your team probably should have taken towers, or come help you if ur a squishy mage and 4 dudes dive ya, ur foqing ded m8

I think you should find tips on FREEZING a lane, not just last hitting if the other guy is WILLING to give up cs so you push the wave, just freeze the lane.. totally possible but its not easy thats all

ward one side of the river, and hug that side make sure you have a pink ward.. a green ward and trinket just to be safe ward the right places of course now if they come from ur warded side, u see em comnig and u just leave... if they come frm the other side, its a good thing ur so far away from that side and can run away easily

Roam. If I'm getting camped I literally just say "F this", push the lane, then go do something else - gank. counter jungle, kill the river crab, anything but stay in lane and get gang banged over and over

UPDATE: Played as J4 vs Swain. Fed Swain first blood on purpose, didn't get camped at all that game. The trick really is to lose lane on purpose. If I do well I lose, if I do badly I win. So I will just do badly. Thanks for trying to help, but I guess the solution was in front of me the whole time.
