I'm in silver 5 and the biggest thing people need to learn is.

People want to "group up" but don't know how. You can't really just go aram the whole game. You need to figuer out who is going to catch the massive waves, who is going to stop a splitpusher. Sometimes a useless dude just says "fuck it" and just splits for the rest of the game. This is when you need to communicate. If it's you that should take care of side lanes ping otw and chat why you should or if it takes more than one you have a bigger problem.

Back to the main point. Somebody want to group mid as 5. This person may just start shoving, and another person will follow and they will actually follow each other. If there are 5 mia or even 5 people alive, you need to back the fuck up and got get engaged on. If you do get engaged on then just know you deserve to lose lp.

I had a game recently when I got fed and was trying hard to carry but got hooked a few times by blitz, expecting to get my ult n shit off I got nothing off bc of his silence. Still won but I know 1 mistake like that and I don't deserve to gain lp.

Main thing is people don;t know how to not push or farm for a bit. They think the game is so fast paced and they want to keep making that gold and die for 1 minion that would have been pushed to a safer place.

Wait for people, when you gank a lane wait for others who are coming to help before you chase dude off.

From my own experiences, I found this is what works the best: If laning phase is over, and you get the feeling you need to help the team, shove the lane so that you can apply pressure elsewhere. One of two things will happen: 1) Stalemate mid (or wherever the party is at), both teams derp around waiting for someone to make the mistake, meanwhile the lane you shoved is pressuring the map. 2) Enemy team-member leaves to go clear the lane, or stays behind to clear the lane you left. Now you group up and force a fight because the enemy team is down one player.

Don't need to be a military commander to coordinate team-play. just maintain situational awareness, anticipate game-play, and act accordingly. For the past while, all I do is shove my lane and go apply pressure elsewhere. That's it, nothing magical, ez pz.

Your team is never going to get stuff done, they're just gonna go that thing where they walk down mid and run around like chickens with their heads cut off and clear waves 5v5 while neither side engages for what, like 3-5 minutes? Avoid stuff like that. Just go off and splitpush or slowpush a wave.
