How Top Lane Is In Low Elo

Ah O Yeah Harder·May 22, 2017·1 votes·313 views

Win lane top Win lane mid Tp bot to take tower and drag Our bot decides to overextend the rest of the game Our bot feeds Their bot gets fed 5 minute cooldown teleport gg we lose, bot carries as always.

This is why I hate top lane. The only thing you can do is tp and you have to wait 5 minutes to get one. Not only that, but it takes 5 seconds to even teleport there. So when you are teleporting, the enemy team is already getting out of there. Top has to be the shittiest lane to carry from.

I don't really get it though, you have a good winrate overall so why do you complain?

Because 99% of the time if I lose in top lane, its because bot lane gets fed af and there is nothing I can do to shut him down.

The other 1% is when i am either autofilled, get an afk, or Riots client bugs out and makes me afk and cant log back in.

So you don't ever lose toplane due to your own mistakes? I sugges you just keep on climbing as you are right now and then see how you perform on a higher level - although I suspect that this is not your main account based on the low number of games played.

Also keep one thing in mind: a better player than you would win most of the games that you lose. Focus on the things you control and don't underestimate the things you can control.

I dont lose top lane to my own mistakes in low elo because I rarely make them. The only time I make a mistake in top lane, is if I either forget to ward brush at 2:30 mark, or if i tilt myself by missing a few cs in a row.

My main account is diamond 3, this is my smurf. But man low elo is cancer. Legit made a game 2 games ago easy as hell to win, how did we lose? Bot lane and mid lane would be overextending 24/7 away from me and the jungler, thus getting caught by a 4 man and boom the enemy adc ends up getting fed.

I asked a Challenger player (A guy who has coached me from silver 4 on January 4th to Plat 1 on march 16th) on why I was losing these games. He said sometimes you just get unlucky teams that dont listen, and said that my problem is that I go for kills too much instead of farm. So I am just gonna go back to farming.

Seeing your skill, your win rate would probably improve if you ran it down the mid lane.

You're doing it wrong. You don't use TP to help your team, unless you're fed af or are only doing it to get the tower. TP is for YOU to constantly pressure the map. If you're in low elo, then there's no point in grouping unless your team has shown you, otherwise, that they are competent. If they are competent, then you still shouldn't group unless you're going for an ace for uncontested objectives. I literally win games through split pushing 70% of my games.

That's not to say my winrate is 70%, but in 70% of my games I'd rather split than group unless my team, as a whole, is ahead. In that case, grouping is the only logical thing to do so their team doesn't have a chance to recover. But if someone on the enemy team is fed, you just have to be fed enough to counteract.
