FRIENDLY PSA: kills do not win games, towers do

ALL MłGHT··10 votes·7,954 views

it is very important to get first tower (preferably bot) so that botlane can rotate mid or top to take those towers. I think a lot of people tunnel vision on kills instead of taking towers. Being a kill ahead is pretty oppressive but being towers ahead is far more impactful.

you can kill someone 1000 times but if you dont get towers you wont win the game. On the other hand someone can die 1000 times but as long as they get towers they will win.

If you kill someone 1000 times, they aren't getting any of your towers.

And if you don't get any kills, you aren't getting towers. You seem to be speaking of some type of hypothetical situation where a team that gets kills will deliberately never take towers. In that case, sure, you won't win if you make an effort to purposely not take towers. But that doesn't happen.

Kills help you take towers. The team with more kills will win the game the vast majority of the time. Thats why both kills and towers will win games.

But u do not necessarily need kills to take towers. What OP is trying to say.

There would definitely be a better way to state that instead of "kills do not win games".

You also do not necessarily have to take towers, as the enemy could simply surrender.

Wrong. As long as they get the Nexus they will win.

And the Nexus is blocked by towers and inhibitors so in order to get to the nexus you need towers inhibitor an more towers

I can't tell you how many times I've lost games when my team had more kills. People don't seem to understand that kills alone are not enough. They run around all over the map until the enemy team farms up and stages a comeback. Some players never learn.

I made a post like this forever ago, and it received little, to no attention. Pretty sure it's because anyone who likes to play team death-match is on the Call of Duty plane, and anyone who wants to actually play League the right way is on the Celestial plane (almost non-existent).

I'm here with you. No matter how many times I ping botlane's tower they just back instead of freely taking it.

Can say much for league, but in dota 2 I have had many matches where we managed to win even though the enemy team had more kills or we managed to lose even though we got less kills than the enemy. What you say is definitely true. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3903925197 here is an example where we were ahead by 11 kills but still lost.

Every kill makes it easier to destroy towers though.

Only if you use those kills to get towers unlike most of the player base does and gets kills recalls / sits in lane/ farms jungle.

Actually, kills give you exp and deny your enemy exp. This causes your team to overlevel, causing your minions to be stronger and auto push. If you keep killing the enemy when they try to push back, there will not be anyone to stop them and you'll eventually win.

It's just as possible to win a game without touching a turret as it is possible to win a game without ever attacking an enemy.

They don't care because they want to be pro and hard carry and make flashy LCS plays and continue to complain about wanting faster games like CS:GO and instagibs while rito caters to them. This game was done when Tencent bought it and GC was hired. Its garbage.

In B4 As a Melee champion i will walk up to a tower to hit it but the ranged guy still feels like they are in too much danger to hit the tower when im purposely putting my self between them and the enemy

Kills allow you to take towers easily to win the game.
