Roaming
If you have lost lane top, its not a big deal to roam, if you didnt feed? even better. Using the time that you would normally be sitting in top, dying over and over in a system of trades you cannot win, it is better to roam mid, take that tower, force dragon with your presence, use the time the other enemy top is wasting on simply farming, to put your team ahead, when you cannot be.
"Go farm" is not a legitimate answer from your teamates so long as your roam is actually acumulating objectives.
Sitting in lane, attempting to farm, and getting mauled over and over is not an acceptable way to approach a lost lane.
Simply because you lost lane is no reason to keep feeding, you still have some items, maybe not as much as normal, but some, and you still contribute to fights and objectives, use your time wisely, roam and push your team ahead.
this isnt a "Rage page" it is a simple directive, I hope that people try this advice and find it useful.
Being personally behind doesnt mean that the game is over, and it doesnt mean you need to stay far and away. Use your kit to help your team, you're gonna be more of a support for some of those fights, but the gold and objective lead gained for your teamates and yourself can readily help you get back into the game and have a real effect on the outcome.
Dont stay top, and keep dying. Roam, Roam and lead your team on the cooperative path to victory. You dont always have to be a hero, and you dont always have to be the villain, sometimes, you can be a sidekick, and thats okay. You'll grow, gain gold, items, objectives, and thats more than worth the minions.
