How to not die on laning phase?

GamerWiz··2 votes·1,330 views

I have a lot of trouble laning. Every time I try to last-hit an enemy minion and get close to the other laner, (I usually play top lane), the other laner always ends up killing me and I don't know why. When I try to kill early I usually die and it's annoying how others can do that to me and I can't do that. This usually results in my team losing because I start feeding after he kills me the first time. Can someone teach me how to prevent this?

Avoid using your abilities on minions.

If your combo is on cool down then you are definitely going to die in a fight.

Ward entry points for ganks. Place a red ward in the brush behind your turret because it is less likely to be destroyed there and will provide you near constant vision against possible dives.

Eye the map. If you have no idea where an enemy is then assume that they are coming for you.

Clear minions whenever alone in lane against an enemy before attempting to fight. Otherwise, you will die to minion aggro and grant your enemy a kill.

If your summoner spells are on cooldown then do not extend past the river without vision or help.

If you want ganks then allow your enemy to push you to turret. As a jungle myself, I am always checking lanes to see if an enemy has overextended.

If you are behind in lane and find yourself dying under turret then endure it and advise your jungle to help other lanes instead. Because this is a situation in which you've lost lane and your jungle is better off getting another ally fed to compensate.

Provide a clip of this happening and people could help a lot easier, it can be different things you're doing wrong causing this to happen.

Some champions are bullies who are geared toward denying CS.

TO farm effectively, carefully monitor minion health and avoid hitting any minion more than twice in order to gain gold for the kill.

If you cannot attack a minion without the enemy laner killing you then simply stand close enough so that you can at least earn exp for the minion's death.

The wave will eventually move to your turret if you are being bullied where you can farm under turret as needed.

Let the turret hit melee minions twice before last hitting them and ranged minions once before last hitting them.

Pick champs that can clear waves easily or someone that scales well without needing an early lead. Either that or go to the jungle, not everyone is meant to be a laner, especially these days where one small mistake can determine everything.

I'd suggest going on twitch.tv and watching how other people play the lane. That won't answer all your questions I'm sure, but you might see people doing something you never even thought of to make things work.
