Stop being completely braindead when playing with a poke mid

If I'm Xerath, stop mindlessly engaging every time. You have the longest range siege mage in the game so stop being an idiot and making it a battle of 800 range negating that advantage. Is that so hard to grasp? Do I have to say it 5x every game and watch the team get slaughtered multiple times in random all in fights? Is that really the level of intelligence of Gold players? How is it hard to understand that IF YOU HAVE A POKE MID, YOU SHOULD LET THEM POKE!?!??

On the other hand, if you're playing against it, you should either split push, 1/3/1, engage when they blow CDS, deny Blues flank, or assassinate. Doging poke is also good but that's probably too skill dependent. So derp a derp, the solution is simple and so are the counters. It's not hard to understand. What is wrong with players?!? It's like they're completely mindless monkeys just clicking buttons on anything that moves.
