Something I don't understand about LoL players
Team fights 4v5, can someone explain it? It happens all the time and lost many games because of it. Anyone know the reason for this?

They think they have to fight because they don't know what else to do. I've had a game last week where, even though the team asked me to push my lane and our jungle said "let's wait until Baron's buff is gone, no fights!", 5 seconds later the same player engaged a 4v5... and lost. Maybe they all think they're just THAT good.
More often than not it's because one of the four got caught out and the other three attempted to help. I've been one of those four on many occasions and it's reactionary. Sometimes the ADC stepped up too far to hit a minion. Or the 5 man tower dived and one of our wave clear carries failed to yield tower in time. Sometimes the assassin gets ballsy and thinks they can one shot their ADC. Sometimes the tank thought it would be a great time to initiate because they didn't see all 5 at that exact moment and figures we could win the 4 v 4 (please don't do this anymore). Sometimes they think the split-pusher has TP and will miraculously appear in time for a fight (this summoner has a long cast time and they would literally have to be watching you instead of where they are to get there in time).
I've bailed on some but the only thing I accomplish in those cases is avoid one death while the Nexus explodes (and occasionally get called out for making it a 3 v 5 because I didn't participate).
