Needs Dragon Control Advice

Tattersall··1 votes·305 views

Title. So basically, I used to play jungle, and one of the things that I liked about it was that I basically got to choose when my team got dragon. I now play top lane, and I feel like I have no affect (effect?) on which team gets dragon. This really annoys me. Is there a way I can influence my team's dragon taking ability from the top lane (without "wasting" summoner 12 )?

well if you get a kill and push your lane recall before the enemy top laner gets back and roam from base to drag and ping it along the way if you have to pressure mid to push the lane so top/mid are pushed and they (enemy team) have little counter to the drag

its not a waste of summoner 12 if you get an objective and win a team fight out of it that is what is used for putting pressure on the rest of the map if you are using teleport to get back to lane that is wasting it because you are squandering your potential to effect the map and your allies.

If your tp is down you should walk down if there is obviously going to be a fight occuring at dragon too.

using summoner 12 to lane sometimes is needed and worth.... if you can tp to lane and force lane pressure and get a turret that is map control and gold for team.. dragon provides neither

its not pressure of pushing a lane is stronger when you have TP up so walking to your lane and pushing it is better than tping to your lane and pushing it because you have the threat of being able to join fights from across the map. if your team isnt applying pressure else where you can be easily rotated and killed wasting your tp and losing any potential pressure you can add to the map until your cooldown is back there are 1 or 2 good reasons to tp back to lane and that is if you can create an advantage with it someone denying the enemy team resources such as enemy top overstayed top you tp and kill them for instance. it is 99% better to use your TP to make plays across the map than in your own lane.

as long as you use it to make plays regardless of where on map it is always worth using

solo queue as in queue by yourself and play with a team of strangers to test your meddle its a measure of how consistently you can play on any team

but the mentality for rank til this season was a SOLO QUEUE mentality that got people to try to carry for themselves and not play for the team and that is where we are now... riot tries to change that with dynamic queue to influence team play and coordination ( to be more like pro play ) and every one cries about its bad and bs , not fair, boosted this and that.

that is the mentality of bad players, the "solo queue" mentality is definitely still there that is why people complain about bad allies all the time because they feel like they should be able to win games with just themselves doing well

its simply a mentality you need to get over inorder to improve your own gameplay
