Is it really so hard to NOT feed?

Losing is annoying, granted, but there's a difference between losing a fair fight, and the feeling of hopelessness you get when all your team decides to die over 10 times each.

Besides Aram i didn't get over 6 deaths in a while. It's not hard to play safe when behind. Yet i keep encounterring people that go over 10+ deaths in almost everygame, and that keep dying over and over again despite your best attempts to convince them to play safe and build accordingly.

Yes.

Once you’ve lost lane (and believe me, you’re going to lose lane at some point) unless you’ve got massive range and mobility to boot, you’re always in danger of being out traded or just plain all-inned. Which means you can’t farm for fear of that. Which means you fall even further behind. Which means when it inevitably comes time for trading or the all-in, you lose even harder.

There’s a reason we call it snowballing.

Uhm, i've lost lane countless times, whether it was because i got outplayed, camped or just counter-picked. That doesn't mean i've got to feed. I can build against my enemy and salvage as many cs as i can while still surviving. Even when i do die in lane, it is mostly from lack of knowledge over the matchup or a risky play that ended up in me getting ganked as i was overextended.

But to feed? If i die in lane more than once it means that i really misplayed. But i keep seeing people dying over 5+ in solo lanes in under 10-15 minutes. It's ridiculous.

Also, when you're faced with a lane bully, most of the time you'll end up outscaling them if you avoid giving them kills.

That depends if their team has a good dive champion that can royally rekt me. I could be play as Ahri and farming safely as possible while throwing Q's at the farthest ranges possible to get the little bit of cs I can without losing much to lane freezing. Then a Vi comes out of fog of war from my team's Raptor camp's and dives me under tower, then proceeds to ult me if I even think of using my ult to escape or even using a charm. Then Vi gets the kill and lives with good about 5 tower shots and a good combo from me.

Hard to carry when my main mid laners are Corki, Lux, and Ziggs. item 3070

Ziggs is gutted after the AP changes, Lux lacks damage if she isn't ahead, and Corki is struggling with the item 3135 nerf.

Yeah but there's a pretty massive difference between not carrying and feeding. I obviously don't expect my laners to go 15/0, but i kinda wish they'd stop dying so often and end up 0/10 or worse. I much prefer a 0/3 laner over a 5/10 one.
