People Complaining About 4 Man Ganks

I keep seeing people, mainly in my elo complaining about feeding because of 4-man premade ganks. Do you want to counter it? It's easy.

It's that simple.

Learn how to place them. If you're that edgy person who only wards when they think of it, know when you've gone too long without vision, and the enemy jungler, mid or support is paying special attention to your lane - clearing wards, etc. At any given time a lot of people have 1-2 wards up. If you're top (any lane, really, I just see a lot of toplaners failing to do this and being punished for it), be warding the river and the bush behind your tower (looking at you Shaco mains, and your affection for sitting back there and popping out with that summoner 14 when someone's low). If you seem to be running short on wards, buy a pink, dont be cheap. Feeding will cost you the game, wards are only 75g.

Realize that most of the time no matter how much you spam ping, your team is either not paying attention, preoccupied with a silly fight they probably shouldn't be engaged in or focusing an objective. Or they may just be on the other side of the map....... In any case, see this, see the mini map (yea, paying attention to that helps a lot. If you ward and don't look at the map this doesn't mean crap), see the 4 man gank coming, and if your team isn't about to back you up, LEAVE. Towers are important, but when you are being focused it's not worth it, you leave and don't give them both the tower and the kill.

The saying "wards save lives" was not made up for no reason. item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043item 3340 item 2043

Agree I also get annoyed when a 5-0 Brand on the enemy team say " LOL takes whole team to kill me " and its like " YEAH, team game " Wards do save lives every game I see who buys wards and I would spend over $750 on pinks alone when the enemy team has a shaco and/ Rengar each time I would see the !!!!! I would lay a Pink down. I would out ward the support who buys Sightstone so they don't get yelled at but they never use it for some reason. On average I would out ward everyone in my games by 10-15 wards. Maybe thats why I lose so many Ranked I'm stopping my core items so I can give my TEAM vision alone.

I'm reminded of an old Uberdanger joke wherein he pushes directly up to a tower with no vision, gets ganked, and starts complaining about how there's no counterplay.
