PSA to Gold/Plat players (Band-Aid fix for snowballing)

Until riot's balance team addresses the current snowball fest that is League of Legends, I'll offer the following advice....

When your team falls behind and every lane is losing, and its 9-1 9 minutes into the game (because that's how games go right now)....

STOP.

FIGHTING.

Fall back to towers. Farm under towers. Buy control wards. Ward the ever-loving shit out of your jungle. Don't cross the river. Farm where you can safely (work around your vision). Use the buddy system. Funnel gold into your carries. (Your tanks should be lowest priority for farm. Mid/adc highest) Buy gold efficient items.
When the enemy pushes up to take towers, burn every ability you have to clear the minion waves. Ignore the champions.

STALL. That is all you have to do, for as long as possible.

At this point in the game, you have 2 options.
1.) Ram your face into the already fed enemy team and definitely lose 2.) Stall the game out and hope for the enemy team to make a mistake mid-late game.

And let me tell you something... in Gold/Plat people WILL make a mistake mid/late game. Almost guaranteed. They'll take a shit baron, they'll over-push, they'll over stay after a push, they'll take a bad fight in your jungle, they'll get cocky, they'll get stupid.

Since Riot doesn't give a good god damn about balancing their game correctly, the only option we have right now is to try to stop the bleeding as best we can. The defensive options aren't great, and there are plenty of champions this strategy just plain doesn't work against (Enemy team have a tristana + ziggs? HAHAHAHAHAHA you're fucked.)

But in a lot of cases, probably like.... 65% of cases.... this will work. You may not win every game with this strategy, but you'll at least have SOME chance at coming back from a shit early game.
