PSA : If you're going to die, you might as well fight

My fellow low ELO shitters, there is no point trying to outrun an enemy who's not getting off your ass anytime soon. Your best option is to just turn around and fight, you'll at least have a chance to outplay instead of wasting time clicking to nowhere while your enemy wails away at you for free.

Now I'm not saying that is always 100% what you should do. However in most cases, I'm pretty sure had you just stood your ground you'd have at least either took your enemy down with you or dropped them low enough for that ally who ended passing by 5 seconds later to finish them off.

Seriously, it's low ELO, most people will go into panic if you decide to turn around fight them because it's pretty unexpected. I've done it and I'm a bronzie (former?)Liss top main. If garbage like me can do it, so can you. So please, the next time you find yourself caught out, take 1 second to evaluate the scenario as best you can and make this small step letting your memes become dreams. Do this now and you'll find you'll be able to rek all who stand in your way right in front of their salad(except Fiora, fuck that bitch)and finally attain that shiny bron-I mean gold.

EDIT: This got out of hand by the end, I know.

It's a very difficult concept called kiting. I am unsure if most bronzes understand the concept and know how to put it into effect.

I am being sarcastic btw

Sometimes it is smart to just waste time, if you can survive long enough. Run around the map and waste the enemy time so your team can baron/drag/push towers. Fighting is a good option a lot of the time, but so is time wasting. The BEST thing to do is to ward and not get caught :) item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649 item 3649

As a support main, I prefer to make the enemy waste as much time as possible as I half-assedly run away and poke them so they can't contest objectives my team is trying to take elsewhere.

Knowing this alone can get a lot of people out of bronze.

I cringe when I see someone trying to run away from permaslows or a gangbang because they are dead anyway, might as well do some damage on the way out.

I do that all the time. I even have to explain myself more often than not to a pissed off ADC that we were going to die anyways and that it was a better decision to stand our ground. Few actually understand such a concept and think they could actually outrun Master Yi as Jhin or Ezrael.

Nah, best option is flashing that lvl 7 mastery and spam pinging your mid lane to come help despite them being in no position to help.
