99% of my games, "first blood tower" has absolutely nothing to do with skill.

It is luck 99% of the time. Why do I say that? Because I'm a jungle main, and usually I'll see a tower and be like: "well that one's going down no matter what, I guess I better push a different one!"

So lets say I see mid tower as a tower the enemy team is going to take. I go top (despite all the memes about 5 man ganks bot all game). I kill top laner and push top hard. Enemy jungler does the same to mid. Whoever wins the race gets the gold. The towers in 99% of games die within 1-2 seconds of each other.

If I kill a tower and get first tower gold, and then another tower on my team falls 1-2 seconds later... Is that really skill? Seems like luck to me. AND THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS HAPPENS.

I mean it seems like they started pushing the tower first so yes that is skill?

It doesn't come down to who "started pushing first."

It's "who has more damage items" and "who has more minions in the wave."

Also comes down to kits, too (who has more attack speed buffs, sheen proc, etc)

Whoever has more items typically has been performing better and pushing a large wave to the tower is also an other sign of skill.

I didn't say "more items"

I said more DAMAGE items.

I bet if you make an extra effort to make plays for the first turret, you'll find it happening a lot more often. When I duo with my friend, we have the goal of first blood turret by 10 minutes. We get first blood turret most games.
