What would you do in this situation?

I play Ranked Flexed with a few friends. One's in Gold, the other in Silver. I'm Bronze. This isn't the start of a joke. Our enemies to Riots credit tend to be a similar makeup.

Anyway, the loading screen comes up. Twitch offers me to check the stats of everyone. And a Bronze 4 is top lane against a Gold 3 Yasuo. He was Yorick. We're all thinking this dude's about to get his lunch eaten. Our Gold players is ADC with the Silver as jungle. We opted for the "make the other lanes stronger strategy, " but our enemy bot lane played SUPER passive.

It was smart on their part, but what would you do in that situation?

Well, it does suck when you're at a different rank than your other friends, but honestly the making the other lanes stronger strat is pretty much all that could've been done since your top laner was at a clear disadvantage. As for your bot lane, since your jungler couldn't gank for them the best thing they could've done was farm as much as possible to try to get a gold and exp lead.

Depending on the jungler, they could also invest time in counter jungling so the passive lanes couldnt get any help even when they wanted to aggro.

LeeSin for example is a prime and powerful counter jungler, and even at silver level with good ward placement and tracking you can deny the enemy jungler most of their buffs if not all. Another stupidly powerful counter jungler is Shaco since he doesnt have to recieve a leash.

Let's not forget about Nunu, Ivern, Rek'Sai, and League's newest counter jungling nightmare, Kayn.

Not too sure about Kayn's early game, at least compared to other S tier junglers. I mean his clear is fantastic but without his forms counter jungling with him seems potentially risky.

Tbh Yorick probably coulda taken out the Yasuo, Yorick isn't that difficult and Yasuo is incredibly difficult. You can only really beat juggernauts as Yasuo once you get to, I dunno, Diamond+ level. As long as Yorick didn't get poked down by not dodging Q's, he should a been fine.

Yasuo is pretty easy to gank as well.

There's a type of Bronze player that believes you're either fed or feeding. They have no patience or half-step actions. It's all er nuthin'. And I think this was his MO.
