So yeah i need help.

So the last couples of games where a complete disaster. I tried seeing why I lost those games and surprisingly most of them were not my fault. Actually I did a lot of mistakes but the most crucial mistakes happened at other lanes . Hell I tried to help them but we couldn't .Take for example my last game Draven has taken a big lead and even though I tried to help bot to shutdown Draven we failed .Getting even more ahead of us. Yasuo kept pushing thus getting himself constantly ganked. And then he started blaming while I was busying trying to help bot. Should I had tried to get him fed? Certainly but as I said earlier that was not an option since he pushed all the time. Winning was impossible because kalista just couldn't stop getting hooked by blitzcrank. And lee continued to buy hp against a fed draven. With botrk.

          So I ask now as a low elo player what am I supposed to do when other lanes are doing horrible and just don't know how to play safe. And yes I try to help them . But when I'm at a disadvantage (for example when I'm  against kata) roaming to help them is not an option since she will have the lead. Even if I was on the same ground she can simple follow me. So roaming is not that reliable. Encouraging is again out of the option because it takes a lot of time. The worst part is that this happens quite often lately. Like another example (actually this is worse). The second last game we had an twisted fate jungle. It looked like he trolled but I cant say for sure (he was angry because they picked his yi). I was against katarina helping bot was out of the question since I wouldn't deal dmg to them because I have fallen behind . Twisted fate was busy recovering his lost cs because he died to the 1st red. Reaching late was out of the table because we couldn't really stop both yi and katarina from ripping us apart because we had twisted fate and pantheon. And they had riven, and ashe. And thresh. 

         So tl;dr how can I climb division when another lane has fallen way behind and I can't help them.

There are games that you cant win - aka by all high elo players :D quote.

As what you have written Im assume you are mid? Low elo is easy to climb because they do not know how to rotate, they cant really farm and their trade is just bad. What I suggest for trading, when I was silver/gold even at a plat, I would see who is my match up go on youtube search that match up - xxx VS xxx then just watch from the pros perspective.

Just copy what they r doing at lane on how to survive or kill their enemy, because they r pros and their enemy is high elo as well and if they can do that so can you. Because your enemy is a monkey just copy what they do and remotely do somewhat the same you should win your lane (copy the damn build too).

2ndly, when a lane lost, analyse it before go to help. 1st, when you go to help ask yourself

  1. Can you kill them?
  2. How to kill them?
  3. Chances that they gonna kill all of you? ^ cause if its hopeless then dont even try you just gonna end up dying and lost your lane as well. Instead, help lane that win or going even. This applies for jungler as well, never help the lane that losing maybe once or twice but thats it, and never help the lane that looks like a lost cause. Always camp lane that even or lane that is having a huge lead =D so you can get fed from the lead as well then after that u can help the lost lane.

About rotation, in low elo you guys never group, and even if you group you never push waves from both side first, and even by then you guys group win fights, you guys just back, please for love of god, when you win a fight, look at map see objectives what u can take or what not.

If there is no objective then see if any big wave cs on map, go to that place farm push lane then back, dont just win fight and every back that is just so bad. Always look for chances for baron, if u kill 3 of them and adc still alive + jgler should probly baron or push a tower :D !

Oh ye and rift herald is a beast rn take it, you can solo it too easily its weak as hell, whenever u see the eyes pop up just run behind him and hit it, you dont need 2 people to do it anymore lol

There are lots more thing but it would take forever to type so ye I hope this helps lmao Im only d3 so yeehhh

Thanks for the reply man

Moving on on what you said . Yeah I know that there are some games that can't end up as win. Its just that lately it feels like all games are like that xD.

Low elo is easy to climb because they do not know how to rotate, they cant really farm and their trade is just bad

I don't know about you but I find it the reverse. Its difficult because people here don't know key words like freezing and waiting for late. Or they just try to kill that already fed enemy instead of avoid giving him more gold .

I would see who is my match up go on youtube search that match up - xxx VS xxx then just watch from the pros perspective

True but when your main has limited mechanical skills ( which is xerath ) just watching a pro won't really help a lot. I might be wrong(which I'm probably am but w/e) but the biggest difference between me and a high elo player xerath main is everything but the mechanicals skills with xerath. You can't really 'outplay' with xerath. So watching one aint gonna help me that much.

And the rest yeah its true we never group up after a fight. The worst part is when the adc recalls when no one is alive. And as xerath I can't dmg turrets that fast compared to adc's >.<

Anyway thanks again for the reply
