Speak, brotha! Let the words of the lord flow from your fingertips!
I had a policy that I really need to readopt: never gank a losing lane. If your lane is losing hard for any reason, especially you being too stupid to buy a ward.,I'm not going for that. And before anyone starts raging at me, I define losing as 'down 3 kills'. The first kill you should be wary. The second, you should play safe. The third, you're just bad, and saving your lane won't help and will probably get me killed as well. Instead, I'm gonna take dragons and snowball other lanes, not necessarily in that order.
Oh, Maokai is top? Good, then he's not mid. Oh, he's top again? Good, then he's not bot. Oh, man, looks like Maokai and Trundle got your turret. Good thing Yasuo, Ashe, and Blitz won their lanes, got fed, and we have 2 drags, or we'd be screwed. A surrender vote? Are you kidding? You got killed 3v1, but we won the 2v4 and pushed two turrets and another drag. Just put some wards down and let yourself get carried, kid.
