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.

If you can push objectives hard enough, you can end the game before he becomes a huge threat. A good roam mid can secure a tower or 2, and that will make it alot easier to end the game before Nasus hits his 600 stack god mode.

Pretty much what Maximum Zilean Says. I mean if you lost lane to nasus, you arent going to be keeping him off farm anyways, its a catch 22. Doomed if you do and Doomed if you dont. Id have to say that in losing lane to a stacking nasus, get your jungler to come up once he's really pushed in, like parallel to Gromp pushed, in the time it takes him to do that while stacking, you should have a tower, dragon, kill/assist or more, and if he keeps pushing, kill him.
