PSA. Don't fucking fight 1v1 when you're far behind

If you're in lane and really far behinds in kills, don't rush in to fight the enemy 1v1. You will die. Farm safely under your turret or wait for the jungler. You're only making it worse.

PSA, don't automatically assume that your teammate is feeding by running in to fight 1v1 all the time. A lot of champs can just tower dive freely once they're ahead so there's no longer anywhere safe to be.

Some champs don't really care if they're behind into many matchups.

kayn gets stronger with his form so putting him behind makes it so that his weaker mid game but he will nearly always be strong when he get his form.becuase his early game is pretty bad. never chase a singed. illaoi does alot of dmg if you dont dodge her tentecals. irelia is pretty strong so try to dodge her E or R and your good(dont hit her while shs in W). if akali uses W dont stay close to it. dodge darius ring and ur good

That's not really true. While Akali's kit provides some utility, she's still an assassin and if she doesn't snowball or get shut down hard early game, she's practically useless.

Same goes for Kayn, unless he is red, which only gives him one useful ability anyways.

Some champs don't let you play safe under tower. Case in point, I was playing Ahri against Zed, and I was losing lane, and playing as safe as I could under tower. Sadly, zed doesnt care if theres a tower if he ults. I looked at my deaths after the game (about 6-8 cant remember) and lane deaths were all under my tower, while the tower was still up.

Build Tabis Press E when he comes out of ult Press R and dodge his Q's and to widen the distance Flash away and Q him

There's a lot of way you could've won that. That's not a "You can't fight under tower against someone stronger", that's a "You couldn't outplay your opponent" thing.

With the amount of CC and safety Ahri's kit provides, you probably could've turned it or played it a lot better, especially if a melee's trying to all in you under tower.

"Farm under tower" isn't a thing anymore. Bursty champs can get in and out while only taking a hit or two.

Generally yes, but the deciding factor of fights is how the people play and if they have their powerspike items.

I played kass top (I was behind my laner), I was in mid are and I tried to fight the enemy jungler that was in my side of the jungle. I think it was a kazix, I had ROA and my archangel staff, the enemy jungler managed to burst me down until I was very low, so I used r to get to my tower. He followed me towards my tower and I managed to bait him into walking under tower long enough to trigger a tower shot that killed him. Even though I was way more behind than my opponent in terms of kills I managed to play smart, kill him and get shutdown gold.

My statement in summary is that even though you could have less kills than your laner, there are a bunch of other factors (like items or certain parts of your champ’s kit) that can help you win a 1v1 even though you are “weaker” than your opponent.
