How to End games?

Those games when you're a mid game champion and you know you'll lose the game once you enter late game. The time when you're enjoying the mid game snowball. How do you end the game there? I always do very well midgame and then fall off super hard late game. How can I end the game so that we avoid entering late game?

Make turrets a priority, tell your teammates this issue and even try to organize a 1-3-1 lane split-push. Alternatively, try using an ad mid, although they do have a melee AA range, they can do wonders on turrets. Eg. Zed, Talon, Riven (if your skilled enough), and Nidalee (heal steroid op). Another tower-poke strategy is to get a Lichbane when suitable, this way you deal bonus damage to the turret after an ability is cast, doing this on Ziggs works incredibly with his passive.

Its generally excepted that destroying the opposing nexus will end the game rather quickly....

joking. As a Bronze, take my advice carefully; but the best advice I can give is that if you are playing a champion who has no late game, but an overpowering middle, you should roam. Roam and feed the champions on your team who WILL carry later. That Carry in your bot lane, or the split push nightmare you have top? Maybe the jungling udyr or yi? Get them some kills, and revert to a supportive dps in late (what I mean by that; just help deal damage to primary targets. That seems obvious, but there are far to many (at least in bronze) who DONT do this. Ahri's split pushing cause they "can't kill them anymore" and the like.Just go to the team fights, and throw out your damage. Try to remain in position, and f course, not die. If need be, sacrifice yourself to protect the champions who CAN push hard and such.

Finally: more specific advice can be given if you list the kind of champs you play.

You need to roam and push towers and objectives as much as possible. if you cant push for nexus towers once you get that inhib, dont back and dawdle around, immediatly go for the next avaliable objective, assuming your team is healthy enough.

Make sure your lategame carries get fed, and if you dont have a lategame carry, then get your adc and apc fed, and hope they are enough.

If you get objectives, and create pressure allowing your team to capitalize on it, then you can get some of your team mates who are better late game champions then you stand a better chance.

Shutting down the opposite team is a good strategy, making them fear leaving their base or baiting them to extend or contest dragon / baron is also good. If you and your team can get an advantage then you should have no issue with the late game.

That said when you do transition to the late game, if your champion does not perform as well as other late game champions, then maybe you can defend your more valuable teammates (like AD carry) to allow them to both live and win team fights and continue to earn and build items.

Also try not to take too much farm from your team, and try to snowball as best as possible.

I'm late to the party; everyone else already mentioned all the important things. • Shut down priority enemies • Go for turrets • Force them to choose between defending the base or contesting Dragon/Baron • While you're still strong, get your late-game powerhouses fed • When you are no longer the strongest, protect the strongest on your team/kill the strongest on their team

See...in the end it requires the use of your team, if u can coordinate a good push where u as the snowballed champion can destroy the opponents there is a chance you can, but you may have to do this a number f times to end it. Hope it helped Byregowda
