PSA: dieing is bad

we all know that guy, "I didn't feed I have 15 kills" well mister ya did feed. 15 kills doesn't help the fact that you have 13 deaths all nice and spread out amongst their team. In a normal game deaths should be at least half your kills, barring of course supports and the rare team that tries to funnel kills to the carries instead of every team fight being a grab-ass game of chase the guy with the lowest health. Worse yet when everyone on their team has tons of assists from you're glory kill. now, like all advice, there's catch 22s all up and down but the premise stays the same.

Kill should never be close in number to deaths.

I do of course understand that other champs besides mid do this but, assassins have a bad rep with me as "kills for glory" champs and players

Kill should never be close in number to deaths.

Both are simply false, if someone has twice as much kills as deaths, they are not doing "ok", they are fed AF. Average Master Yi has 9 kills and 7.2 deaths - both numbers are pretty close.

It isn't a thing about Master though, almost all champion averages look similarly, or even worse, i.e. Ashe 6.5, 6.3 KD, and Ashe maintains 53% winratio with this kill death ratio. Tanks often die more than they kill (i.e. Sions, 4.8, 6.0 KD).

Number of kills doesn't need to be much higher than number of deaths. What matters is not your score, but what your team does when enemies are dead. For example, if 4 players on your team die, but all 5 enemies die, your scores will not be impressive. But, you won a teamfight and your surviving marksman can take two towers or more before they get up.

Thinking that you need to have really impressive score to be doing well is plain wrong.
