What does one do when every lane is a mess?

Seenan··1 votes·632 views

GD wouldnt give me any serious answers.

Maybe this could be something like a 'we need more bans' thread so it's still relevant to G&B.

Anyway. Mid lane's fine, jg, top, and bot are feeding and I'm not quite a roaming mid. What do?

EDIT: kinda depressing how most of the comments are pretty much 'give up/ ff @ 20'

Depends on how hard they feed and your champ and enemy comp If i see all my lanes losing and im amumu or sej il i might get away with just farming

i had a game where all my lanes lost and i was playing sej i dont give anny ganks because they where getting to fed

kept farming but notices they had an al ad comp kept farming while they where making kils got my armor got half an ap item

ran into a 1v4 they al squeeshy jinx jayce likely champs teams been losing from them all game i 1v4 and win From here on my team stayed around me ks me and get fed we won

amumus even better in winning losing games

But most of the times ff a 20

I'd probably be an important/relevant lane and it wouldn't matter.

Let's say, mid like in the OP. I usually go mid with Syndra or Talon cause I know I can do well with them (but less of Talon since no one picks enough AP to offset an AD mid in this bracket). Syndra I give everyone a hard time and even sometimes carry us out of the shithole we're in. I can't really farm enough to 100-0 anything more than the AP/AD mid or ADC (among other squishies) as Talon, and Syndra, as strong as she is, gets fucked if they cc her down, like pretty much every other champ. And in that case, as soon as I go down they can prob win right there.

like i said most of the time u just lose how ever sometimes u can solo carry while everyone is losing i find it not impossible to do on squeeshy champs like u named talon/syndra ( i dont play those) but i have pretty much carried 3 losing lanes with my jungle nidalee much more than once (normal games im not a pro:P)

i just think its allot easier to solo carry most games on champs that can build tanky like sej or amumu wich will just walk into a 1v3 and kill them (if ur that much ahead)

than a nidalee who can kill all 5 but even if im 20-0 i usualy build mainly ap leaving me stil squeeshy and easily killed by good focussing

where if im ahead on sej focus me al u want ur just gonne die

Well yeah, but even then not many people outside of Yasuo, Riven, various tanks, and the like can 1v3. Syndra/Talon's good for deleting a person, and good for ccing the enemies (as Syndra). I give them an extra hard time as Syndra, even if they're winning. Talon, I can't do that too well.

Well, if it were ranked teams instead of solo q you'd have a few options because of communication. However, in solo q ff @20, sorry

You lose LP and reque hoping for a better team.

Think of it like a game of chess. You're asking what you do when most of your pieces are gone, yet the enemy has all of theirs. Not all games can be won.

All you can do is try to either focus on helping your strongest team member, or attempt to stall the one on the enemy team. Get a sightstone if you can and get extra vision out, and hope your team knows how to play for time.

Other than that just keep practicing, and if this happens regularly focus on learning champions who are capable of successfully handling 1v2 or 1v3 fights. If you can't rely on your team to do well it's your job to do your absolute best and hold the enemy off while your team catches up.

Just please keep in mind some games simply cannot be won. A good skill to learn is to focus on what parts of a game can be learned from, and how to let go of the rest. Treat each game as exactly what it is, a single game. Don't focus on streaks, just focus on the game at hand. It's always good to learn from your past games, however when you're done learning just let them go.

You hope you have good enough waveclear and you farm out until their gold lead is a smaller iin proportion to what it was. You can also try to set vision traps to catch someone on their team but thats risky since they probably have better vision than you, other than that you just try to hold on as long as you can until your comp outscales, this is difficult with Baron the way it is now.

If you are behind in every lane, there are two things you can do. If you have a team that will outscale the other team, you turtle up and drag out the game as long as possible until you can fight them. If you can't outscale them, you are pretty much screwed unless the other team makes a big mistake.

But we can't turtle. They have divers/the items to dive (since they're fed), and they're vaguely irrelevant until 50+ minutes...What I mean is, they can't keep the game afloat for 20 minutes. I can try, but lord knows it probably won't happen.

The games I'm talking about are when it's an absolute stomp. 10-2 score and you're at least 1 of the kills, maybe 2 of the deaths.

10-2 isn't a lead that can't be overcome. When you are down 20 kills, that's when you are in real trouble.
