Going for Jungle creeps instead of the Nexus

CominTowardsYa··3 votes·3,783 views

Almost 100% of the time I lose games its because some Leona support is jungling when we are ahead, and give the enemy team time to reset, and ace our team instead of attacking the Nexus.

After that the teammates react to what is happening by rushing into the jungle to fight 1v5.

Then the enemy team kills towers, inhibs, and the Nexus.

If you are ahead, apply map pressure, or group, DON'T jungle farm.

Unless it's a normal game. Don't end those. Ranked sure, end asap. Normals take as long as you can and winning doesn't even matter.

If winning doesn't even matter to you, then are you telling me your only goal in normals is to do what you want aimlessly and punish your team by losing because you aren't trying to win, and you don't care about the game objective?

I think winning matters and it is fun to win, not lose period.

Goal in normals is to have fun. Not to win. It's not the competitive queue. If you want to tryhard for a win why are you not playing ranked? I would rather lose a game where I went 35/6/0 than win a game where I was 5/6/19.

What's the point in winning normals anyway? Why is the "Victory" banner more fun to you than the "Defeat" banner at the end of a game ? The point is to have fun. If someone is having more fun by farming champions and not farming objectives why is that so bad? It's normals win/lose doesn't change your rank or anything. Normals = practice mode basically for most players

Under what conditions does a normal game end?

Saezio1 votes

When people decide they want to end. Some people find it fun to end. Or some people want to get into the next game so they go and end the game. Or people are bored so they FF

Under what conditions does the game end, if people decide to end, what do they do?? What steps are taken?

Not for everyone. If I'm in normals it's probably to practice on something I need to work on for ranked. ARAM is for funsies IMO.

Yeah but even if you are practicing something. Do you care about winning more or about testing the limits of whatever it is you are testing? Isn't getting maximum experience your goal? instead of an arbitrary victory in match history?

It's okay to take raptors or wolves if your team is in the mid lane and are waiting for minions to come. In fact, you probably should if you get the opportunity because it denies the other side a bit of XP and gold.

That aside, if you aren't a split pusher then you should be grouped later on.
