Teamfighting ISN'T the only way to win...

It seems like everything but teamfighting is a lost forsaken concept and i just dont get it. Games can be won by split pushing towers, gaining superior farm and vision, objectives, and out maneuvering your opponent. Team fighting is a means to an end but not the only means available. If youre not getting at least a tower for your team fighting efforts then it accomplishes absolutely nothing. And if you can't win team fights then play another way. It's so frustrating when being on a team that cant do anything but brawl and has no alternative way to play when brawling fails.

"We can't win team fights... (lets keep team fighting!)" The other team is fed, or just simply has a naturally better team fight composition and everyone is charging into it no matter what the circumstance, no matter how many times they die to it. When the enemy wins these fights, all their waves are pushed up to get towers easily because nobody takes time from team fighting to regulate them. "How are we going to get fed if we dont team fight, stupid?!" Someone said that to me once.

Farm your lanes, push them for towers, rotate, starve your opponent. It can be done. This shouldnt be such a lost concept. I mean... is this really wrong? Now im not saying if youre able to take clean fights and picks don't do them, of course im not saying that. But teamfighting isnt the be all end all way to get an advantage.

Yea thats all fine and i get that. But theres no excuse to keep doing it when its clearly not working, and only making a bad situation worse.

The thing is if the enemy team is grouping but your team isn't, you are only accelerating the enemy. You don't have to teamfight, but you WILL have to group if you want to be able to fend off the enemy. Or pick ziggs lucian and waveclear for days.

That's actually not entirely true. If the enemy team is grouping they are all sharing the experience and farm from one lane. If you can play defensively and farm multiple lanes while they do this your team will get a gold and experience lead. The key word in that is DEFENSIVELY.

its also a problem with communication tf is easy just get togheter and fight coordanaitng a split push is hard or just waiting for vision control

the thing i hate the worst is when you aced an enemy team and evryone just farms and don't take at least one or 2 towers if the enemy team isn't there for 30 or 40 seconds you can just tank a turret (little side note not when you're all down to 10 percent health and they have a karthus or ez ) but in other situations

towers drakes barons and inhib win games not kills

It can't be helped when an overwhelming majority of league players are bronze and silver. The good players know the gates.

You simply can't play singed in low Elo or you lose your team the game. No one pushes when their jungle and mid lamer are top, they just keep farming...

Team comp plays a huge role in your post.. If your team is behind, but doesn't have long ranged wave clear, then its really easy for an ally to get caught trying to clear the wave while so and so split pushes. And once an inhibitor is open, its even harder to stall.
