Can I get some help on playing a little more patiently in lane?

Pyrithegethon··2 votes·1,042 views

Scenario: I have basically an infinite freeze at my tower to deny the enemy laner forever and get myself lots of gold and exp. I see them mid once and keep trying to shove afterwards even it keeping the freeze is a better idea because they aren't doing anything.

What I usually do: Push then have them come back and get exp and not be as behind in lane.

What I want to do: Keep the freeze going for a long time and build a huge ass lead of gold and exp.

I've kept the freeze going maybe once, I was Darius vs a Yasuo who messed up and I kept the freeze going from minute 5 to minute 12 before recalling iirc(if I remember correctly). I ended up being level 8 or 9 while Yasuo was level 4. I came back to lane with a full item and some while Yasuo had nothing but a zeal or something. I had over 70cs lead on him.

My problem is I'm not patient and get bored very fast, wanting action with my enemy laner CONSTANTLY. This is a problem with me irl as well but I am trying to fix that but need help at least for the game. What should I do?

I was thinking of listening to music while playing passive and patiently with my lead but I'm not quite sure anymore.

adderall is your friend.. lol in all seriousness though i have the same issue with patience. Maybe choose a different playstyle where you are the one roaming.. They did implement the extra xp if you're behind do to roamers being behind so they can catch up quickly.. So really you're hurting yourself now just sitting in lane with this in place especially if those roamers are getting kills. Remember 17-20 cs is a kill so if you are 70cs up but they are 3-4 kills from roaming you're not really ahead.

I'm on Adderal, maybe I should up my dosage. I forgot about that extra exp, I'm gonna test that in a normal game to see how it feels so I know better how it works.

I can play patiently with them I think but I need help being pstient with those that have a very strong lane phase, not a weak one >_<

Mundo's lane phase can essentially outlast anyone's poke. Just take health/5 quints. That with your passive, and healing off of cleaver last-hits and you can sustain forever.

How good are you at last hitting creeps under turret?

Ranged minions take one turret shot then one AA from you (if you've enough AD) OR one AA from you, one turret shot, and then another AA from you. Melee minions take two turret shots then one AA from you. And tank minions just take patience and a well timed AA from you.

If the enemy is pushing and you just farm patiently then they are likely burning their resources without gaining any lead over you. You give the jungle little or no opening for ganks by staying near your own turret and you provide your allies with endless opportunities to gank your lane and take out the exposed enemy.

Even if your allies do not gank your lane, you'll still end up with a gold and exp advantage over your lane opponent. They'll usually end up bored and roam to another lane, however, if they are out for kills. If they do that then you ping your MIA a few times while pushing waves to the enemy turret just to continue punishing them for their blood lust.

And if you are ganked under your own turret, target the enemy that has turret aggro on them for the best chance at eliminating at least one enemy. Chances are the enemy will be wasting their time trying to gank you and if the one ganking you is the enemy jungle then that opens up dragon and enemy camps for your allies.

I never really thought about the big picture and wasting their time. Might be a bad trait but I love being a massive dick to people as long as I get huge benefits. I always seem to focus the wrong target under turret but you have given me better insight, I need to see who is taking aggro better.

Guess I can treat enemies as myself and know how to punish the bloodlust.

You should just think about what you're doing positively so that you're a greater help to your team. Get jungle ganks going to force the enemy or something. That's one solution.

If you've got a mental condition about the issue then I don't think many things will be capable of helping you. You have to either adjust or get medicine to assist in the adjustment that you still will have to do yourself. Find some way to get through it by your own means, since it'll work best if you can actively repeat the solution.

I never thought about thinking of how positive to my team it woulf be, I love priase from my team. I'm definitely going to be thinking about that more, keep my eyes on the prize.

I do have a mental illness but im getting better and about to reach my first big goal of losing 60lbs! Been a year and I went from 243lbs to 189lbs now, only 6lbs to gi!
