The painfull reality of when your enemy laner Roams in low elo

PhantomGG··3 votes·868 views

The situation

Your enemy laner roams somewhere, you know exactly where they are going and ping red to the lane while warning them in chat "care, you are about to get ganked"

Idealisticly, this means your ally will play safer for a minute or two, respect they are in a hot zone and not push lane.

Idealisticly your ally is playing safer while you go to take the tower in your lane and everyone is happy.

Reality If you are not in plat, expect your ally to be a idiot, shub lane, and die to your laner, ingoreing your pings and what you typed in chat, as they then flame you and go "wowwwwwwwwwwww thanks for the help" while spamming you with missing pings.

Reality of what you have to do Just follow the guy, no matter how many times u warn your ally, they will do something stupid and possibly die, so just follow the enemy laner and hope you can fix the situation.

Remember kids, always expect your teamates to do the stupid decision.

Realistically, your allies being forced to play defensively for 2 minutes as you seem to expect them to is almost as bad as dying to a gank in terms of lost gold.

Either stop your enemy from roaming by pushing/poking him, or follow the dude. If they are free to roam it is almost always your fault.

Depends on the player, even in Diamond there are people who will ignore pings and then blame anyone else.

you do not simply follow an assassin into jungle/river in League "Season 6 of no wards allowed" Legends

as the support never buy sight stones for they are cocky shits.

But realisticly I get how you feel, that is one of the major reasons why I HATE following the enemy laner, for their is normally a horrid lack of vision and half the time the assassin laner is waiting in a bush with the jungler to ambush you. So then you get punished for trying to be a "team player" for something that was hardly your fault. And then when you go the long way one of the following happens.

1-you had to go the long way so you missed out on being helpful

2-the enemy team is to scared to play agro for they know you followed so now it's just a awkward staring contest in bot lane as both you and the enemy mid laner miss about 10-20 minions.

You act like the bot lane will be paying attention to the map enough to see the roamer coming through the ward or multiple wards from said sight stone on their way down.

it is not even about sightstone, it is about how

  • trinkets have a literal 2 minute cooldown now
  • pink wards still limited to 1
  • green wards removed
  • no yellow trinket upgrade

like why was all of these implemented. Leaving one of them unchanged would alleviate these problems

there is simply not enough vision to ward even half of the entrances to a lane, and if you are top you have to chose between keeping a bush that your opponent hides in warded, or warding the lane entrance.

I for one still find it surprising that riot is acting like they never nerfed vision. I laughed the day I asked a riot employee.

"when does riot plan to buff vision after nerfing it"

his literal reply was

"no comment you are asking the wrong person"

"no comment you are asking the wrong person"

well I guess it could interpreted as both "aha idk what the monkeys in balancing are thinking but they are the ones who make the decisions" or "not my area of expertise"

no but seriously turning vision into a "team effort" is one of the most bs reasons I have seen for a change nerfing vision for the ones who are contributing the most while leaving the ones who never ward unaffected is just dumb

unless there was a different reason to the vision changes like making lcs games more uncertain and less careful, but the patch writers somehow thought that the actual reason was harmful or unfit for the general playerbase to know somehow

I really have no idea and I am still upset at the changes considering my ward fetish

I take it as

"whatever info I do know, I can't say or I will be fired, nor can i agree that you are right, for i will also be fired for that"
