A plea from a MidLaner: Make the first buff spawn 10 seconds sooner.
I've noticed a trend at the rank I'm playing in (It's high Silver / low Gold, not sure if this is true in higher Elo as well, never been there) where the lane that leashes the first buff gets the first gank, even if it's a bad gank.
I main Kat, I have 600k Mastery on Kat, almost 1200 games. If I get a lead the game is over. The issue is: I NEVER have priority at lv 1 unless my lane opponent is late and I can proc my first q dagger on the whole backline and get a bounce on the first wave. My lane opponent is almost ALWAYS just outside my tower when I hit level 2, and If the jungler comes just as I hit level 2, lands their combo, and I Q-E-Auto, the enemy either FLASHES MY DAGGER or DIES. That's it. Those are the two possible outcomes. Those are both very good outcomes.
It never happens though. I mention this in the pre-game. "Hey I'm up against
they will push early and if you come around 2:15, I'll hit level 2 and we either get flash or a kill."
They don't though. They always help the lane that leashed for them. I can't leash, the best I can do is throw a Q over the wall and pop the plant to get back to lane and I JUST BARELY make it in time to Q the first 3 creeps before I miss exp.
Can I outplay my opponent sometimes despite this and get a solo kill? Sure. That isn't the point. The point is that
is a HARD SNOWBALL champion that will take over the entire game when she gets ahead, but nobody seems to care because I'm not leashing for them.
So, please make the first buff spawn sooner so I can get in a few autos or something, and give my jungler an impression that I am also on the team.
? :DDD
