What do I do in this situation?
Bot lane gives double kill. Twice. Top gets a kill off my gank, but then dies twice to the Irelia. Mid is ganked by their yi, and then goes 1/5 because Ahri capitalizes.
All of this happens almost immediately. I play safe, farm, and gank when I can. I'm around 8/2/3, but I just can't do anything because all types of lanes/damage is fed, so I can't build against one. Our Kennen, despite being 2/7/5, is still building full damage. Malzahar is continually trying to split push a lane, but is being destroyed every time because he has no mobility at all. I'm trying to convince our team that we scale much better and not to surrender, but when we don't surrender our support goes "then I'll end it" and suicides.
Like, no one could get anything done unless I was helping or pinging. Your lane is gone and you should probably either push tower or roam after them? The person backs. Dragon was just taken by the enemy and your pushed bot with no wards? They engage in a skirmish. You just got a kill of off my gank and are low? I pinged that Yi is in your area and you have no wards? Please stop pushing to tower.
I realize that it's silver, and not a lot of people are great at the game. We're all just kind of average. But some of this stuff seems so painfully obvious to me that I feel like I have daggers in my eyes sometimes from what I see. Another thing while I'm ranting: I know people encourage you to play who you like, but in silver you really have to take advantage of powerful things. Playing things like Varus bot or Kennen top can be good, and if you are good at them can be great, but it's not consistent. You might win every other game because your good at them, but just because of balance you won't win as much as if you went, lets say, Ezreal/Sivir bot or Garen/Graves top.
I've started to use "play safe don't die" on copy paste for every game start. It probably doesn't do much, but every once in a while someone reads it and actually listens. Those are the games that are wins, because in silver people don't know how to stop dying once they've started.
#Silver lives matter, just farm.
