WHY LOW ELO PLAYERS STRUGGLE TO WIN GAMES

Firstly Let me start of that low elo players seem to think League of legends is a Team Deathmatch, rather than a Moba; they think they it is about getting as many kills as possible and that if you get said number of kills the game will end and the match will be yours; they seem to forget that there are turrets, drakes, barons, inhibs, and a nexus in the game.

Low elo = chasing kills

High elo = taking every opportunity to take objectives and further your lead.

This is something I understand very well, as, a few season ago I used to do the exact same things, I used to be one of those players that would go 30+ kills but somehow still lose, it used to confuse me, and i used to blame my team mates, but little did i know that it was because i would spend the whole game kill hunting, rather than just taking turrets, rotating mid, then bot, drake, etc. i did however go to these lanes, get a kill, but then i would immediately recall, buy some items, and go off for the next kill, without actually taking a turret. i may have been in a position to win, but i was never putting the nail in the coffin, as time goes by, you give the other team a chance to come back until they are strong to fight you, ace you, and lose you the game.

I'm a Draven main, in plat 3, now they aren't the best players, but they generally know what they are doing. When i get a lead bot lane, say i get a few kills and therefore have complete control of bot lane, I take the turret, then take the drake, recall and swap lanes with top, in which i tell him "if bot overpushes get mid to gank for you" 2v1 top, turret is easy to get, we then get herald, recall, then go mid, take mid turret, by that time drake would have respawned again and it is basically a cycle like that, until you squeeze out that win. i call it "winning by default" because you don't have to perform some crazy plays, you just simply go to each lane, and right click the tower, you have the lead, thats all you have to do. in my elo, when i get a lead bot this is exactly what i do, and its pretty much a guaranteed win.

i have another account in silver 1, in which, losses are pretty much non existent. However the reason i am writing this post is because of this one, particular game.

So i am playing Draven adc, with leo support vs twitch and soraka. lv 2 i get a double kill. lv 5 i get a double kill again, lv 6 i kill twitch and soraka recalls, i take bot turret and then drake. i then recall

now we have a darius on our team vs a riven, darius is 0/2 but he has reasonable cs, i tell him to go bot "if bot pushes get mid to gank" then i go top, when im half way to top lane i realise leona is going back bot lane, now i now for a fact i cannot be certain i can 1v1 this riven, she has flash, i just saw her delete our darius, but with leo we can cc her and kill her if she tries to kill me, or she will just let us take top turret knowing she cant 1v2 us. however the problem was leona went back bot, so im by top turret pinging this leona come top. i say "come top and help me take top turret and then we can take herald" she didnt reply, then as im typing i get dove by the riven and lee sin, i die, top turret goes down, darius and leona dies bot, bot turret goes down, then they get herald and drake. wtf

leona then says why go top? "to rotate and get the turret" why else? she then rattles on about top is lose, why help darius? how am i helping darius? i just sent him bot. i then try to tell her we have the lead, we can take these turrets without a contest, but she kept moaning about "are you premade with darius? he lost top, why are you helping him?" just wow. that was basically it, i couldnt understand her thought process, she was the kind of player that would go all in despite being solo. thats another thing, when people play cc champions, they go all in get a 5 man stun, die, and then go where was the team. the whole point of cc is to give your team the opportunity to do damage to them, if your team aren;t aronund, it doesnt matter if u get a 5 man stun, the stun is just gonna wear off and you blew your cooldowns for nothing.

i know a shouldnt be angry, they are low elo for a reason, what am i expecting from them, still, i wanted to make this post anyways. remember we are playing a moba, not a team deathmatch, kills will help you, "but if you never use those care packages, you never really put yourself in the lead"
