Why does Riot enforce split-pushing?

Clint Orris··1 votes·386 views

Riot always complains about how games are too long blah blah, but split-pushing does the exact thing that they hate. It's the most frustrating playstyle and goes against everything that a "team" game stands for. It's always the same thing,

-Player picks X champion and goes top -Farms and stays top all game(even if we starve them) -Eventually farms enough to get items and now every time that person is top, the other team has to sacrifice 2 people to deal with him because he is extremely hard to kill 1v1 -Sometimes barely escapes because that champ has some mobility -Rinse and repeat

This is the same pattern for every split pusher. It promotes little to no interaction with allies or enemies and draw out games.

But how are they enforcing it?

Seems more like they just allow it, because you haven't given me any examples of enforcement.

Between that and winning first blood because rnjesus decided it'd be okay for him to crit me two time consecutively.

his base crit chance at max fury is 30%, so 3/10 hits are going to be criticals with just that

idk if there are runes that increase crit chance, but there are runes that increase crit damage

Sounds like a real YoloQ problem. A good team will have good engage and win a 5v4 before the split pusher can get anywhere.

Split pushers, you need to take advantage of the fact that they lack team fight, and you have to force the fight around a tower or neutral objective

"But we shut down the split pusher with a repeat gank"

this isn't good enough, if you don't turn it into an Objective. Make sure you pressure objectives else where on the map.

And a good team will also play defensively, while the split pusher is out there. And the SP will most of the item have teleport. I don't see how any of this is healthy
